FOCUS: According to the latest U.S. Census figures, around one-third of housing units are renter-occupied. With even higher concentrations in coastal areas, this represents a significant market for secondary, tenanted and seasonal home coverage.
SageSure has seen dwelling fire products become one of the most requested surplus lines coverages by producers in these markets. As a result, the SageSure Expanded Markets Dwelling Fire (DP3) surplus lines product was developed to meet the increased demand for fire dwelling products in coastal states, including for primary, secondary, tenanted and seasonal homes in Louisiana, New Jersey, South Carolina and Texas.
With the addition of the DP3 dwelling fire product to the SageSure Expanded Markets Program, producers can easily quote and bind previously untapped rental and nonowner-occupied risks.
