Alan Finley Agent Allstate Insurance Company
405.691.7988(bus) 405.691.7980(fax) 1-877-502-9006(toll-free)
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.
Try RiskPro

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.
Rob

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. Rob S Ps I have Daughter & G- Daughter in Tacoma, I don't get up their much, but it a nice place to live. but not like Hawaii. ha

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
