Nevada Real Estate Agent E&O Insurance + ClaimPrevent®Legal Services Included

(Looking to cover your Nevada company, employees and agents? Visit the Nevada real estate company E&O page.)

Every real estate professional needs protection from the risks you face in your everyday real estate activities. From disclosure issues to permitting, there are numerous areas after a sale that can come back to haunt you . . .

• Lockbox risks, Open House and Showings risks (injuries, property damage), Discrimination issues from advertising, problems after the sale including mold — all can cost you tens of thousands of dollars if you have to cover them yourself.

Real estate lawsuits are on the rise, with the average cost of defending yourself now over $80,000. You need insurance to protect yourself from claims, lawsuits, and the exorbitant cost of legal fees should something go wrong (or even if you’re wrongly accused of something).

Real Estate Agent Errors and Omissions insurance is “claims-made” insurance, meaning it covers claims that occur during your policy period even for past transactions.

• Past transactions are covered from the time you first had continuous Real Estate E&O coverage.
• The key is to ensure you never have gaps in coverage to keep your E&O continuous.

And the only way to ensure that is having your own individual — and portable — real estate E&O  policy.

Why Invest in Your Own Nevada Real Estate Errors and Omissions Insurance?

Company real estate E&O policies are designed to protect the real estate brokerage. As an individual licensee, you need a plan designed to protect YOU — and cover your particular real estate activities.

• Include Your Specific Activities and Risks.  To retain coverage for your past activities, your current policy needs to include coverage for those types of activities. For example, if you did some property management in the past, every future E&O policy must include property management to ensure you remain protected. And not every E&O policy covers some critical real estate risks that it should — like Open House and Showings activities.
• Ensure There’s Coverage When You Need it. If you think you’re covered under your brokerage’s policy, you might be unpleasantly surprised. Your office’s E&O limits for the policy period could be exhausted before you have a claim. You could be on the hook for legal fees and potential damages costing you tens of thousands of dollars (or more).
• Protect Your Continuous E&O Coverage. With an individual policy, you don’t have to worry if your real estate brokerage  stopped making payments on their policy, didn’t renew the policy, or didn’t renew on time.
• Portable Coverage No Matter Where You Work.  Should your office be sold or otherwise go out of business, you could be left unprotected for current and prior transactions unless you have an individual E&O policy to protect you.

With individual real estate agent E&O, you have control — to ensure there aren’t any gaps in E&O coverage to put your livelihood and personal assets at risk.
