Kansas Real Estate Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance
Unlike the nearby states of Nebraska, Colorado, and Iowa, the Kansas Real Estate Commission does not presently require that real estate professionals obtain errors and omissions insurance (E&O).
However, numerous real estate franchises in Kansas make it a prerequisite to have E&O insurance, and virtually all real estate companies across the state opt for errors and omissions coverage as a standard practice to protect their firm, agents, and assets.
Whether your agency specializes in upscale residential properties in Wichita, property management in Overland Park, commercial real estate in Topeka, or foreclosures in Lawrence or Kansas City, a robust professional liability policy is vital.
Not Every Kansas E&O Policy is the Same
Not all Kansas real estate E and O policies are the same. Many KS professional liability policies exclude coverage for common and expensive claims.
For instance, scenarios such as a client sustaining injuries from a fall during a property tour or a client being bitten by a dog during a showing (contingent bodily injury and property damage coverage) are not covered by many common KS E&Opolicies.
Other common gaps include no/limited coverage for activities involving property management, BPOs (Broker Price Opinions), claims related to discrimination or fair housing issues, and incidents pertaining to properties developed, flipped, managed, owned, purchased or built by the insured or related entity.
It’s critical to review your E&O policy and coverage with an insurance broker who specializes in real estate errors and omissions to confirm that it offers coverage for the various specialized risks inherent in your real estate services.
E&O for Specialized Kansas Real Estate Services
If your KS real estate firm offers specialized real estate services such as farm/land, property management, commercial real estate, auctioneering, appraisal services, or broker price opinions (BPO’s), most Kansas E&O insurance policies will not meet your specific professional liability needs.
The same goes for Kansas agents flipping homes, purchasing or selling their own property, selling property they constructed or developed, or managing their own rentals.
