In today’s difficult insurance market, working with the quoting carrier to minimize risk is often the best way to keep the business relationship in tact. An agent with a close relationship with the carrier has the ability to communicate and mediate between the insured and the insurer, and this communication is the best path to a good result for both the client and the carrier.
The Habitat article also discusses the concept of Deferred Maintenance, which is no longer an acceptable response from an insured. Carriers understand that deferred maintenance can put everyone at risk, and the best course of action is to have a plan of action in place to deal with necessary maintenance.
