Jafo Administrator Join Date: Jan 2012 Posts: 2,389 My Yurt: | So far my local brokers have come up with nothing, but they are still trying. I contacted Geico and had a good conversation with them. They were helpful, but in the end they considered it a "unique structure" and they could not cover it. I had read somewhere online that someone had gotten a policy through Nationwide insurance, but when I tried, they balked at the roof. No go with them. A friend of mine said that Mutual Insurance Services have found policies for yurts. I contacted them by email and they referred me to a wholesaler in New York: Risk Placement Services. I spoke with a Jerry Silver who explained that he only dealt with licensed brokers, but he believed they could insure yurts. He recommended I have my brokers contact them and they could talk it over. He said they have no minimums that brokers had to achieve as far as business, so it would be fine if this was just a one time deal. I will contact our broker tomorrow and see what they think. homeiswheretheyurtis and Stephinitelyme like this. |

HawaiiYurts Industry Specialist Join Date: Jul 2012 Location: Volcano, Big Island, Hawaii Posts: 251 My Yurt: | He is specifically for Hawaii only, he was clear about that, but maybe he can help other agents? I don't know. Yes, Jafo, it's not much money for them, exactly. That's why it may help to gather together as a group and dangle the bait! Here's our guy: Herb Spector of the Royal Insurance Agency in Hilo at (808) 935-2766 |
