  • Avoiding Condo and Co-Op Insurance Pitfalls at Real Estate Closings

    Avoiding Condo and Co-Op Insurance Pitfalls at Real Estate Closings
    2025/02/13
    The Hidden Insurance Pitfalls That Can Kill Your Closing🚨

    Real estate closings can go sideways fast—especially when insurance gaps are discovered too late!
    If you're a real estate agent, broker, mortgage banker, or attorney, understanding master policies vs. HO-6 policies is crucial for protecting your clients.

    📌 Master policies DO NOT cover:
    ✅ Personal belongings
    ✅ Interior upgrades (flooring, cabinetry, appliances)
    ✅ Water damage originating inside the unit
    ✅ Special assessments from the condo association

    A missing HO-6 policy can delay or even kill a deal at the closing table. Don’t let your clients get caught off guard!

    💡 Tip: Work with an insurance agent who can ensure buyers have proper coverage before closing day.
