Ideal Accounts and Appetite
Colonial General targets well-established, professionally managed residential associations with completed infrastructure and routine maintenance practices. Typical appetites include communities with standard exposures, stable operations, and limited recent losses.
Accounts NOT appropriate for this program include new developments, associations still under construction, or projects with significant ongoing developer activity.
Example scenarios that often fit:
- You represent a 150-unit condominium community in Colorado with shared amenities, professional management, and minimal claims history — a good candidate for a combined property and liability placement through Colonial General.
- A managed townhome association in Nevada seeking property replacement-cost coverage plus a modest umbrella — Colonial General can access admitted or E&S markets to provide options.
Why Place Business With Colonial General?
As a Managing General Agency and E&S broker, Colonial General combines broad underwriting experience with access to multiple carrier markets. That mix makes the program useful when standard markets are limited or when you need a tailored placement that combines property, liability, and crime coverages.
Colonial General emphasizes responsive service, flexible terms (admitted and non-admitted where available), and consolidated placements to reduce carrier fragmentation for your client.
Territories and Market Access
This Condominium Insurance program is available in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Colonial General can place business in admitted markets where available and in non-admitted (E&S) markets when necessary to secure appropriate terms.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting is risk-specific. Minimum premium requirements and binding authority vary by carrier and account size. Submit a full exposure summary, copies of declarations pages, loss runs, and details on management and maintenance practices to get the most accurate underwriting response.
