BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ShoreOne Insurance Managers, Inc. is launching its admitted, residential homeowners policy with full flood insurance protection in Massachusetts. This first-of-its-kind product is already live in New Jersey, New York, and South Carolina. Previously, homeowners with coastal properties had to purchase separate policies and pay separate deductibles. The flood policies were generically priced and did not cover the real cost of replacing the home or temporary living expenses if the homeowner was displaced.
Eastern Massachusetts homeowners became acutely aware of the dangers of flood in the wake of Hurricane Bob as well as increasingly common Nor’easters. These events found many without adequate insurance.
ShoreOne’s proprietary technology delivers a highly customized policy designed to close this protection gap. Policies are sold exclusively through ShoreOne agency partners. Homeowners will find significantly broader coverage, and in many cases, premium savings compared to their existing insurance.
Nick Steffey, ShoreOne Chief Executive Officer said, “We’ve been very pleased by the support from the Division of Insurance in Massachusetts. They, like their counterparts in New Jersey, New York, and South Carolina, have recognized the need for more comprehensive flood solutions for their coastal constituents.”
David Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of RogersGray, says, “There is a large coverage gap for coastal homeowners who frequently get inadequate flood coverage. We are pleased to see ShoreOne enter Massachusetts and as a leading coastal agency in this area, we support continued growth in the private flood market.”
