Uninsurable: What Happens When You Can’t Get Home Insurance?

In this episode, we discuss: 
  • The growing trend of property owners turning to non-standard insurance due to traditional carriers pulling out of high-risk areas
  • Why standard homeowners insurance is becoming unavailable in markets affected by:
    • Wildfires (California)
    • Hurricanes (Florida)
    • Hail and tornadoes (Midwest)
  • The reality that some homeowners are going bare (without insurance) if they don't have a mortgage
  • The problem of being underinsured for those who still carry some coverage
Understanding ENS (Excess and Surplus Lines Insurance):
  • ENS insurance covers properties that admitted carriers won’t insure
  • Issued by carriers not technically admitted in the state, but filling important gaps
  • Most insurance brokers can help you access ENS policies
  • Types of ENS include:
    • Severe weather policies
    • Over-and-above policies
    • Parametric insurance
What is Parametric Insurance?
  • Event-based trigger insurance
  • Pays a flat amount regardless of damage scope
  • Not traditionally primary coverage but can be used as such if:
    • You own the house outright
    • You’re willing to take the risk on catastrophic loss
  • Available for both residential and commercial properties
