Unlocking $300M in Property Value for Our Clients
The Problem
Commercial flood insurance mandates can cause significant disruption to many investors' ongoing value-add strategies as the annual cost increases. If you have acquired financing to purchase a property in a special flood hazard area (SFHA), you know the lender mandates commercial flood insurance to close the sale successfully.
Many real estate investors, business owners, insurance agents, and real estate brokers assume flood insurance is an unavoidable business cost if a structure is in a high-hazard flood zone. Upon further investigation, this may not be the case — or at least eligible savings may exist.
The Solution
We will review your property extensively, at no initial cost, uncovering the most granular details to remove your property from the high-hazard flood zone or identify other cost savings. To date, we have identified solutions resulting in the addition of more than $300M in property value for our clients.
What does this mean for property owners? They may cancel the policy or modify their coverages according to the risk strategy for the asset. Requirements for excess flood insurance coverage are also removed, and these policies can be canceled or amended. In any solution, annual savings result in additional NOI for your property.
