What's Covered Under a Berxi E&O Policy?

If you provide professional services to clients, professional liability coverage insures you against claims of negligence or delivering inadequate work products (also known as “errors and omissions” or E&O coverage).

If a claim is filed against you, we’ll assign you a lawyer from our network of defense attorneys who specialize in professional liability, and we’ll pay their legal fees. We’ll also pay for related defense costs (e.g., court fees, settlements).*

With flexible limits up to $1 million per claim/$2 million aggregate

If you’re investigated by a professional regulatory organization, we’ll appoint defense counsel for you and reimburse you for the attorney fees resulting from the investigation.*

If we ask you to attend any depositions, trials, hearings, or arbitration proceedings in support of your defense, we’ll reimburse you for actual lost wages and any reasonable and necessary expenses.*

AMOUNT COVERED:
$1,000 per day

If someone files a claim against you for a date when you didn’t have E&O coverage, we’ll cover you retroactively.* This applies to prior services if you have been continuously insured.

How Much Does a Real Estate E&O Policy Cost Brokers?

At Berxi, E&O policies for real estate brokerages can start as low as $500, and the average policy costs about $3,000 a year. The price of your policy will depend on a variety of factors, including where you work, your revenue/gross commission income (GCI), how long you’ve been working in the industry, and your claims history.*

How Is Berxi More Affordable?

We work directly with you, adding no extra fees or commissions to your premium. This means you typically save an average of 15%.

We also offer payment plans (without interest or fees) and deductible waivers of up to $5K.

What Is the Claims Process Like at Berxi?

Our team is staffed by experienced claims professionals whose expertise in real estate agent and broker claims extends nationwide. In addition, we have selected a national panel of legal specialists to defend our customers.

When you submit a “First Notice of Loss” form, you’ll hear from your dedicated claims professional within 24 business hours to discuss the situation and explore your coverage. Our goal is to build trusted relationships with our customers, helping you feel secure that when you need support, Berxi will be here to help.

The best way to get an idea of what your policy would cost is by getting a quote. The process takes a few minutes, and — if you choose to purchase — your policy can go into effect any day you’d like, including today.
