A flood zone determination can be a major selling point for a property. And with all the recent changes to flood maps and flood insurance, we are receiving many calls from real estate professionals requesting flood zone determinations. As always, we are happy to research a property’s flood zone for you. Here are a quick points to remember about flood zones and flood insurance:
Flood Zone Quick Points
- You are always welcome to call us, but we suggest you bookmark the Flood Insurance page. There, we’ve placed mapping tools and a lot of great flood insurance information for homes and businesses.
- Elevation certificates are not required to obtain a flood insurance quote through our private market and coverage is the same as through the National Flood Insurance program (NFIP). For lower-risk properties, an elevation certificate can be beneficial. For higher-risk properties, Private Market Flood insurance is typically less expensive and much easier to obtain.
- If a house is partially in one zone and partially in another, our experience is lending institutions usually utilize the higher-risk zone to determine whether they will require flood insurance.
Want a quote for flood insurance? Have your client complete our quick online quote request or give us a call at (877) 606-1375. With this single simple form, we can quote a private market flood insurance policy, without an elevation certificate. We also sell and service policies from the NFIP.
