Frequently Asked Questions
The HOA’s insurance cost went through the roof – do you have options to help them?
Yes, we understand how overwhelming insurance cost increases can be. To help manage the rising costs, we can assist in reviewing the HOA’s current insurance policies to ensure they are optimized. We’ll evaluate if there are any unnecessary coverages or areas where limits can be adjusted without compromising the necessary protection. Additionally, we can explore alternative insurance carriers that may offer more competitive pricing, even for HOAs with complex needs. We also recommend considering risk mitigation strategies (e.g., improving safety protocols or reducing claims history) that can potentially lead to lower premiums.
The HOA was non-renewed by their current carrier! What can we do to obtain alternate coverage?
If the HOA has been non-renewed, don’t worry; there are still options to secure the necessary coverage. The first step is to assess the reason for non-renewal and address any issues that could be contributing to the insurer’s decision, such as high claims history, high wildfire score, or property conditions. From there, we can connect you with insurers that specialize in higher-risk properties, including HOAs with prior claims. A broker with experience in the HOA space, such as NEXTIER Insurance, will be crucial in finding coverage that fits your needs, even if the HOA has been non-renewed. We can also assist in finding carriers that may offer more flexible terms or those that are more willing to insure a property with certain risk factors.
The Homeowners have serious concerns out about the cost of insurance and maybe be facing a special assessment. What do you recommend we do to bring the cost down?
Managing homeowner concerns about increased insurance costs can be challenging, but it’s important to approach this situation with transparency and a clear plan. First, we can help by reviewing the policy to identify areas where costs might be reduced, such as adjusting deductibles, limits, or coverage areas that aren’t critical. Additionally, we suggest having an HOA insurance broker, such as NEXTIER Insurance, explore other insurance carriers who may offer more competitive premiums. On top of that, implementing preventive measures like upgrading old electrical panels, roof replacement, or conducting regular maintenance can help reduce risk and, in turn, potentially lower insurance costs in the future. Communicating these steps to homeowners through clear, transparent messaging will help them understand that the board is actively working to address their concerns.
Can you help us communicate with Homeowners via a Townhall?
Absolutely! We can assist you in organizing and facilitating a Townhall meeting, either in-person or virtually, to help explain the insurance situation to the homeowners and answer any questions they may have. These meetings are a great opportunity to discuss the reasons behind the increased insurance costs, outline potential solutions, and ensure that homeowners understand the steps being taken. We can help draft communication materials, prepare an education agenda, and offer expert guidance on how to handle sensitive topics like policy changes. Clear and open communication will go a long way in easing homeowner concerns and fostering trust
Do you have access to insurance carriers that will take on an HOA that has a lot of claims?
Yes, we have relationships with insurance carriers that specialize in working with HOAs that have a history of claims. These carriers are experienced in handling properties with higher risk profiles, and we can help connect you with the right insurer who will offer the coverage your HOA needs. While some insurers may be hesitant to take on an HOA with a significant claims history, we work with companies that are willing to provide coverage, often at more reasonable rates than others. Additionally, we can help assess and recommend risk management practices that may reduce the likelihood of future claims, which could improve the HOA’s insurability and lead to more competitive pricing down the line.
