This is an episode recorded at the PIA VADC conference in Virginia Beach with my man Byron Roberts.  It is a fast, on-the-ground conversation about how Openly built for independent agents, why speed still matters, and how data is shifting from rearview mirror to windshield. Quick recapOpenly's origin story is agent-first. Founders Ty Harris and Matt Duffy asked agents what they actually needed, then shipped a three-question quote experience built to find “diamonds in the rough,” not write everything in sight. The company doubled down on listening loops like ACE, its Agency Council of Excellence, to sanity-check product decisions, fix friction fast, and keep writing business during a stubborn hard market. They are rolling into PL Rating in key states to cut keystrokes, and they see the next frontier as forward-looking data that helps carriers price for tomorrow's weather, not yesterday's. Key takeawaysBuilt by and for independent agents, not DTC. Choice and counsel are the strategy. Three inputs to quote, then verify details to bind accurately and quickly. Think seconds, not hours. ACE council gives Openly real-time agent feedback and a promise to report back on changes. Smart underwriting beats growth at any cost. Openly tightens or tweaks instead of pulling out. PL Rating integrations are in motion to reduce double entry and speed comparisons. Data is shifting from historical to predictive. Actuaries need “crystal balls,” not just rearview mirrors. Notable quotes“Tell me I can't, I'll show you I will.” Byron on persistence. “Three questions, name, date of birth, and address. We can get it.” On the quoting thesis. “We're staying open for these agencies. We don't tighten everything down or pull out.” On disciplined appetite. “We used to look at historical data. Now we need crystal balls.” On forward-looking pricing.

Aug. 25, 2025- The state senate's housing leader, Manhattan Democrat Brian Kavanagh, discusses why his chamber is looking into the cost and accessibility of residential property insurance.

An article in the Wall Street Journal suggests that Florida's property insurance market is inherently flawed and financially shaky, under the review of a smaller ratings company.  It cites the 12 insurance company insolvencies between 2019 and 2023 in a market painted as over-reliant on reinsurance. Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller sits down with Demotech President & CEO Joe Petrelli and former Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty to explain the unique nature of Florida's market, how financial ratings of insurance companies are formulated, the critical role of reinsurance, the confusion between rate and premium, and the real reasons behind those insolvencies.Show Notes  (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-59-how-secure-is-floridas-property-insurance-market/) Host Miller discussed the evolution of Florida's property insurance market following 1992's Hurricane Andrew, highlighting the departure of large insurers and the rise of smaller, regional companies that still make up most of today's market.  Miller, an employee of the then Department of Insurance, said “large legacy insurance companies left our state altogether, saying the risk exposure was just too great.  Likewise, after 2017's Hurricane Irma, other companies stopped writing new policies.”  Florida's Unique MarketMiller noted that the state's property insurance market has adapted over the ensuing 33 years to continue to provide needed insurance “for what's become one of the riskiest places on earth to insure.  It has unique challenges that have prompted innovative solutions.”  One of those solutions was Demotech, a Columbus, Ohio-based actuarial firm that provided ratings for Florida's new regional companies when other ratings companies would not.  Demotech's RoleDemotech President Joe Petrelli said its specialty in reviewing and assigning Financial Stability Ratings (FSRs) for independent regional carriers was born of the need of federal mortgage backers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 1988, who together own or insure a substantial number of home mortgages nationwide.  They vetted Demotech's ratings methodology and today, the firm provides FSRs for most of the 55 Florida based property insurance companies, including some of the recent 14 carriers who've entered the market since the Florida Legislature's 2022-2023 litigation and consumer protection reforms.  Now in its 40th year, Demotech rates insurance companies across the nation that write billions of dollars of premiums.“We look at carriers independent of their size.  We look at them based on their business model, the execution of that business model, and the complementary nature of their reinsurance program,” said Petrelli.  “So I think that's what makes us unique.  I think when we look at catastrophe prone areas, whether it's wind, fire, tornado, hail, earthquake, what we're looking at is, does your reinsurance program give you the claims paying ability that you need?”  (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-59-how-secure-is-floridas-property-insurance-market/)

In this episode of (Re)thinking Insurance, Chris Zanoni is joined by Klayton Southwood and Travis Miller to explore the Florida property insurance market. The state faces significant challenges due to hurricanes, litigation and assignment of benefits. Historically, the market was disrupted by major hurricanes like Andrew in 1992 and Irma in 2017. As a result, Florida saw increasing losses, litigation and insolvencies among carriers. In response, the Florida legislature implemented reforms in 2022 to stabilize the market and improve the availability and affordability of property insurance.

Many business owners purchase insurance without truly understanding what they're buying or what critical coverage they might be missing. Host Kirsten Howe addresses this knowledge gap by welcoming Dean Myers, owner of Core Insurance Agency, to reveal the fundamental insurance coverage every business owner needs before opening their doors. Dean, who specializes in errors and omissions insurance for lawyers, accountants, doctors, and professional trustees, breaks down the three critical pillars of business insurance: workers' compensation, general liability, and property insurance.   As the first installment of a multi-part series, the focus centers on the absolute basics that form the foundation of any solid business insurance strategy. Dean demystifies workers' compensation requirements in California, explaining why it's legally mandatory even for part-time employees and how the no-fault system protects both employers and workers. The conversation explores the role of general liability insurance in protecting against third-party claims, encompassing a range of incidents, from slip-and-fall accidents to product liability issues. It explores the comprehensive coverage of property insurance, including business interruption and extra expense provisions. Whether you're a solo practitioner considering your first employee or an established business owner reviewing your coverage, the discussion provides crucial insights into protecting your business from day one.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:12 Meet Dean Myers, founder of Core Insurance Agency and specialist in professional liability coverage. 3:04 Listen in to learn about the three non-negotiable insurance pillars every business needs, plus why California law demands workers' comp coverage even for your first part-time employee. 5:04 Workers' comp is identical across all carriers by law, but the "no-fault" system means injured employees can never sue you. 7:06 Did you know? Injured workers typically receive only two-thirds of their salary because insurance companies aim to incentivize their return to work. 9:27 Office workers pay vastly different premiums than construction crews, and your claims history can earn you substantial discounts or painful penalties. Here's what you need to know. 10:02 Pro Tip: Insurance companies often offer free risk management consultations that many businesses overlook, potentially missing out on significant premium savings. 14:20 Next, Kirsten and Dean discuss understanding the difference between premises coverage and products liability, which can help you avoid accidentally choosing the wrong protection. 15:51 Property insurance covers everything from meteor strikes to water damage, but the real goldmine is business interruption coverage. 17:31 Business interruption pays your lost revenue and employees' salaries when disaster shuts you down, plus covers temporary facilities while you rebuild.
