Quality Earthquake Coverage
You Can Depend On

High Equity in Properties

When debt service is low, and equity is high the preservation of capital becomes a priority. When the incremental cost of purchasing earthquake insurance is financially bearable, property owners tend to place an earthquake policy to reduce the risk of a major financial loss.

Third Party Requirements

When financing is predicated on purchasing earthquake coverage, the property owner is required to place this coverage. We see these requirements typically with larger investment funds as a fiduciary responsibility, some traditional or local lenders, seller carries, and hard money loans.

Self-Elective to Purchase

When the policy is reasonably affordable and the property owner is risk adverse to the exposure, the additional expense of purchasing earthquake insurance provides them piece of mind.
