What is it? Habitational Risk Insurance is designed for commercial residential properties such as apartment buildings, homeowners associations, condominium associations, and rented homes.

Why Your Agent Matters And How We Can Help:
Having an agent that understands the complex needs of property owners, associations, and property managers is key. Not only are these entities responsible for their own buildings and property, but they are also responsible for aspects of the safety and protection of residents or guests. At Stein Insurance, we have the experience, industry knowledge, and carrier partnerships to structure a comprehensive Habitational Risk Insurance program. We take time to understand the distinct aspects of your operations and perform a complete risk analysis and review. Whether you are a property owner, property manager, or both, we have the ability to address all aspects of your insurance needs.
Specialty Programs We Offer:
As an independent insurance agency, we have partnered with a variety of carriers. Many of these offer specialty programs designed for property owners, managers, or a combination of both. Working with multiple carriers provides the added benefit of flexibility and choice. We are able to compare bundled package options along with mix and match options to ensure you are receiving the most comprehensive program at a competitive price.
Flexibility and choice is offered with wind/hail deductibles as well. You may not be limited to a percentage based wind/hail deductible. Some programs offer flat, per building, or per occurrence wind/hail deductibles. This can be a meaningful alternative to the often high cost of a percentage based deductible. This leads to a more tailored structure, and puts you in control of your risk program.
