What Is Real Estate Insurance?

Real estate insurance is a mix of insurance policies that make up a comprehensive coverage classified as real estate insurance. A variety of insurance options are available, including:

• General liability insurance helps cover basic real estate business risks such as injuries. This coverage can often be bundled along with commercial property insurance to create a business owner’s policy.
• Workers’ compensation insurance benefits employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. If you have employees, workers’ compensation insurance is not only vital but often required.
• Errors and omissions (E&&O) insurance helps cover legal fees if you’re involved in a lawsuit related to mistakes and oversights you make in providing professional services. E&O insurance is sometimes called professional liability insurance.
• Commercial auto insurance helps pay for damages and injuries if your business-owned vehicles are involved in an accident.
• Commercial property insurance protects your agency’s physical assets from hazards such as fire, explosions, burst pipes, storms, theft and vandalism.
• Cyber liability insurance helps cover costs and expenses related to cyber attacks.
