This is the guy I went through for my general liability.  He found me a good quote on E&O also.  But I don't have enough business to support the cost just yet.

I just renewed my policy.

I went with a 1500 deductible.

I use Elite MGA. Not the cheapest but in my situation is what I wanted.

I checked a bunch of places and for me Nationwide came in the lowest with a $1500.00 deuctable, $500,000.00 across the board for GL and E&O. $2,400.00 for the first year and the told me the rate will decrease with experience and of coarse claims in a year. They also can finance the amount, my agent told me $604.00 down and $216.00+/- per month for 9 months at a stinging 19.9% intrest rate. I think I'll pay it all up front.

The crappy thing is the GL is only $165.00 a year the rest is E&O...

Risk pro should be the cheapest by far if you can meet their requirements.

We use Elite MGA and they provide us with outstanding service and reasonable rates for $1,000,000 in coverage with a $5,000 deductible on the E/O.  In Florida, we are able to get our Liabilty with Southern Owners Insurance for about  $300 a year.  Don't know if they have other jurisdictions.

Check out FREA and Allen Insurance.

Agreed!  I've been with Bob Pearson and Allen Insurance for about 10 years now.  I've had a claim as well and they were all over it.  I've had the high end occurance policy for about $3600 per year including GL, EO and $1500 deductable.  I hear from Bob the industry is moving away from occurance policies.  I'll be getting a claims made policy this year at approx. $3000...  Allens policies are always underwritten by larger well established insurance carriers such as Lloyds or Liberty Mutual. 

I hear other inspectors having very good results with FREA's Ben Garrison as well...

Sorry for jumping in a little late.  I have had good success with OREP.  The cost for insurance is good, however, I cannot speak for claims.  Fortunately haven't had to go there:)

Hi Rob,
I am located in Tacoma, WA and work the South Sound region.  Have been in business for 7 years previously as a franchise owner and now independent.  Sales are slow to say the least.  I have a good week and then a dead week.  But this has been happening for the last year and a half or so.  A great time to just market yourself right now. Not so much to realtor's, but business groups, rotary etc... Persistence pays off.

Thanks again:
I've been a General Contractor most of my life, it’s been good, I’ve built most Building from Homes to Hospital. But now its time for me to change I choose stay in the field, but not get tied-up for a year on one project. Home Inspections is something I know about so that’s what I'll be doing. I am having a problem putting my web site to gather, but I'll get it sooner or later.
I'm an old timer, but I need to keep busy.
Thanks again.

Time for an update for us newbie inspectors.  What are some recommendations for Liability and also E&O.  I happen to be in Maryland if that is of any help.  Fire away, and thanks in advance.

I would also advise talking out a bond policy, costs about $100.

You can get your general liability with your E & O.

If you belong to an inspection association you can get info and discounts with them. Like ASHI, INachi
