Real Estate Insurance Coverage

We design Real Estate Insurance policies that go beyond "basic" to "fully protected," safeguarding your practice, your transactions, and your career.
What is Covered
Professional Liability (E&O): Covers claims of negligence, misrepresentation, failure to disclose, and breach of duty in real estate transactions.
General Liability: Protects against bodily injury claims during open houses, property showings, and office visits.
Cyber Liability: Covers data breach expenses if client financial information or transaction details are compromised.
Commercial Property: Protects your office space, equipment, and business personal property against fire, theft, and damage.
Commercial Auto: Covers vehicles used to transport clients to showings or conduct property inspections.
What is NOT Covered (Exclusions)
Known Defects: Intentionally concealing known property defects is excluded—and likely illegal.
Investment Properties: Your personal real estate investments need separate investor coverage.
Development Projects: Construction and development require specialized builder's risk and developer coverage.

Real Estate Insurance Cost

"How much does real estate insurance cost?" Premiums depend on transaction volume, specialization, team size, and claims history.
  • Premium Estimates: Individual agent E&O coverage typically starts at $300 - $700 annually. Brokerage policies covering multiple agents range from $2,000 - $10,000+ depending on team size and transaction volume.
  • Cost Factors: Years of experience, transaction volume, average sales price, property type (residential vs. commercial), team size, and claims history all impact your premium.

  • Bundling Power: We maximize discounts by bundling E&O, General Liability, Commercial Auto, and Cyber coverage into comprehensive real estate protection packages.
  • Claims Advocacy: We don't work for the insurance company; we work for you. Our team guides you through E&O claims to protect your license and reputation.

If you’re looking for real people that handles your needs fast then dream assurance is the way to go. Micheal Moran is probably the best insurance agent I’ve ever had. No matter the time or day, he finds a way to respond back. Not to mention we’re in two different time zones and he works like we’re in the same state. I wish I could give them more stars. Forgot to mention they’ll beat any insurance rates you find!!!

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is E&O insurance required for real estate agents?
It depends on your state. Many states require E&O insurance as a condition of licensure. Even where not mandatory, most brokerages require their agents to carry it. Given that the average real estate E&O claim exceeds $25,000, it’s essential protection regardless of legal requirements.
Brokerage policies often provide some coverage, but they may have high deductibles, limited individual limits, or exclude certain claims. Many agents carry their own “tail” coverage or supplemental E&O. Review your brokerage policy carefully and consider individual coverage for gaps.
Wire fraud is the #1 cybercrime targeting real estate transactions. Criminals hack email accounts and redirect closing funds. Wire fraud coverage, typically part of Cyber Liability, covers losses when you or your client are victimized. Given that average wire fraud losses exceed $150,000, this is critical protection.
Yes. Your agent E&O policy covers your professional practice—not properties you own personally. Rental properties need landlord insurance (dwelling fire + liability), and you should consider umbrella coverage for additional protection. See our real estate investor insurance for dedicated coverage.
You’ll need separate policies for each role. E&O covers your agent transactions, while investor/landlord insurance covers properties you own. We can bundle both through our carrier network, often with multi-policy discounts. The key is ensuring no coverage gaps between your professional and investment activities.
