Key Insurance Considerations for Real Estate Businesses
Real estate businesses face a range of risks, from professional liability and property management to cyber threats and financial exposures. Explore some of the key insurance options available to help protect your agency, its operations and professional services.
01
Professional Indemnity
Professional Indemnity is particularly relevant to real estate professionals because claims can arise from alleged errors, omissions, negligence or failure to perform professional duties.
Potential scenarios can involve property management, leasing, sales, valuations, advice or alleged failures relating to maintenance and property matters.
Steadfast’s recent real-estate guidance specifically identifies professional indemnity, property and public liability among important insurance considerations for real estate businesses.
02
Property management risks
Property managers can face claims involving properties under management, including allegations relating to maintenance, inspections, tenant communications and other professional responsibilities.
Your insurance program should reflect the actual services provided by your agency.
03
Cyber and crime risks
Real estate agencies routinely handle personal information, financial information, identification documents, property records and transaction data.
Cyber and crime-related insurance can therefore be important considerations alongside traditional property and liability covers.
04
Protecting the agency
A comprehensive real estate insurance program should consider the agency itself as well as the professional services it provides.
Risk Assist Australia can help you review your existing arrangements and identify areas that may require attention.
