• Analyze renewal terms, pricing, coverage changes, carrier recommendations, and underwriting requirements.
• Market accounts to appropriate carriers when necessary, including preparing submissions, gathering underwriting information, analyzing proposals, and comparing coverage options.
• Prepare clear coverage comparisons and recommendations that help clients understand differences among carrier options.

• Serve as a knowledgeable liaison between clients and carriers regarding underwriting requirements, inspections, risk improvement recommendations, and coverage considerations.
• Coordinate property inspections, valuations, appraisal requirements, and underwriting follow-up.
• Stay informed about carrier appetite, products, underwriting guidelines, coverage enhancements, and changes affecting the affluent personal insurance marketplace.
