We are a Wholesale Insurance Broker specializing in commercial insurance products designed to encompass a broad spectrum of your client’s insurance needs. Our insurance products stretch from the very preferred to manageable hard-to-place exposures. We have carefully selected our range of commercial insurance products to efficiently serve our retail insurance brokers. Experienced underwriters with product knowledge allow us to qualify submissions fast and provide quotes within a 48-hour period, meeting the needs of a fast paced insurance brokerage firm.
How do we compare to the traditional E&S Broker?
The traditional E&S Broker is structured to provide “Hard to Place” commercial insurance markets for retail brokers unable to place the business with their preferred carriers. Because their business focus is designed to accommodate “Hard to Place” risks the process of submissions and quoting slows down substantially. The process of handling these types of risks inherently takes longer and typically will slow down the underwriting process no matter what type of risk you submit for quote.
Agostini Wholesale does not specialize in “Hard to Place” commercial insurance, but instead offers an array of commercial products ranging from preferred to “Hard to Place” that allows for greater efficiency in our underwriting process. Our underwriters specialize in specific insurance products allowing them to be knowledgeable, efficient, and experienced in carrier placement.
The challenge in determining where you can place a risk efficiently is crucial to the success of the sale. Most E&S underwriters have too big of a workload to manage submissions effectively and have pressure to be out of the office meeting with brokers and insurance carriers. Typically, you are asked to submit the risk and then are left waiting for a response.
Agostini Wholesale understands the need to determine placement of a commercial risk fast and efficiently. The team is available to confirm risk placement by phone or email and provide quotes within 48 hours. Our business profile is designed to have product underwriters in the office available to meet and satisfy the immediate needs of our retail brokers.
