Preliminary Risk Review
Where every engagement begins.
Before we recommend a single policy, we want to understand the whole picture — what you own, what it's worth today, and what it would take to make you whole. That is the Preliminary Risk Review: complimentary, unhurried, and yours to keep.
Most families are over-insured in one place and dangerously thin in another, and they have no way of knowing which is which. That is not a failure of judgment — it is what happens when coverage is bought one policy at a time, from one carrier at a time, with no one looking at the whole.
The Preliminary Risk Review is how we look at the whole. It is unhurried, it is held in strict confidence, and it commits you to nothing. Many families do the review, fix the one or two things that matter, and keep the rest of their coverage where it sits. That is a good outcome.
What we cover
Inventory — what you actually own
A clear, current picture of the assets that matter: properties, vehicles, vessels and aircraft, collections, and the businesses and people behind them. You cannot protect what you have not named.
Exposure — where you are thin, and paying twice
The gaps — the blank retroactive date, the umbrella that stops short of your real liability, the coastal property carrying the wrong wind deductible — and the overlaps where you pay for coverage you already have elsewhere.
Valuation — sized to the real number
Limits sized to replacement reality, not last year's renewal. A home insured to a number set five years ago is a home under-insured today. We work from current values, not stale ones.
Structure — the right coverage in the right place
What belongs scheduled, what belongs blanketed, and what belongs in the market versus with a specialist. Because we are independent, that decision is made on the merits — which path fits, not who appoints us.
How it works
A conversation
We talk through your family, your assets, and what keeps you up at night. Nothing is shopped yet.
The review
We assemble the inventory, exposure, valuation, and structure into a clear written picture — what you have, where you stand, what we would change.
The recommendations
We sit down with the findings. You decide what to act on. Where placement makes sense, we go to market on your behalf. The review is yours to keep.
