Helping You Achieve Success By Reducing Your Risk

My Risk Management And Insurance Services Are Exclusive And Flexible For Real Estate Investors, Home Builders, And Contractors

Mike Stelljes is active in local, state, and national home builder associations and numerous REI groups/masterminds around the country.

Are you a REI, Home Builder, or Contractor? If yes, you know the importance of managing your risk and cost. The goal is to provide clients with the tools and products to navigate the often confusing and neglected area of their business: insurance. Offering clients flexible options, specific to their needs instead of a boxed, one size fits all program. In short, a what keeps you up at night approach to managing risk.

 

  • A wide variety of A rated AM Best carriers, offering comprehensive programs for Home Building, Residential and Commercial General Contracting, Renovation and Remodeling, Flipping and Wholesaling, and other Construction industry Operations.
  • Risk Management Consulting for Companies wanting a comprehensive review of their overall insurance program. A second opinion without the obligation to change agents/brokers.
  • Exclusive program offerings with carriers no other agents/brokers have access to.
  • Contracts with carriers most agents/broker do not have access to directly or indirectly.
  • Bonding/Surety for Builders, Developers, Utility and Street & Road Contractors, and General Contractors. Sub-Division bonds are very difficult, and we represent carriers who will provide these hard to secure bonds.

Risk Management & Insurance Products

Product Packages Unique To Contractors, Builders And REI

General Liability

Offering carriers who do not exclude Work Performed by Subcontractors or exclude prior work/acts. The majority of carriers have one or both exclusions in their policy forms. In fact, a vast majority of the General Liability policies I review have the Sub Work exclusion.

Builders Risk

Providing Single Shot, Blanket Monthly Reporting, and our most popular Blanket Annual Reporting policies. Our Builders Risk policies are comprehensive and provide coverage such as Theft, Flood & Earthquake, Wind within 1000 feet of the Coast, Soft Costs, Profit, Specs with no vacancy provision, and coverage on Homes until they are sold (not when CO is received, the point when most Builders Risk polices cease). Lower rates, less paperwork, broader coverage. The best of all aspects!

REI/Wholesale/Renovation Builders Risk

Offering an exclusive program with a carrier no other agent/broker in the Country has access to: BLANKET Annual Reporting. All the coverage as outlined under the BUILDER RISK product tab, but do not have to report additions or completions on a monthly basis. Not only do we reduce the hassle of paperwork, we turn your Builders Risk into a FIXED COST vs not knowing your actual cost until you complete the project and get it off your books. One, 5 minute annual “true up” at the end of the policy period and you are done!

REI/Wholesale/Renovation General Liability

99% of General Liability policies will exclude Work Performed by Sub Contractors or exclude Products/Completed Operations entirely. Having nothing more than a Premises Liability policy for slips and falls greatly increases liability risk. 

Bonding/Surety
Offering a wide variety of Bonding/Surety programs and options, along with difficult to place Sub-Division bonds.
Package/Auto
This area of insurance is very straightforward, and we have over 30+ carrier options for your Property, Auto, Crime, and other ancillary coverage needs.
Umbrella/Excess
The majority of Home Builder and REI operations can not get access to additional limits of coverage. And most Home Builder/Renovation General Liability carriers do not offer Umbrella/Excess policy options. In addition to offering Umbrella/Excess over Construction related risks, we can provide Umbrella/Excess options over Residential Home Builder and REI accounts.
Inland Marine
A wide variety of products and coverage options available. For as little as $775, we can offer a BLANKET policy covering ALL of the following with a $100,000 limit and a $1,000 deductible: Contractor’s Equipment, Tools, Employees Tools, Rented & Leased Equipment, EDP (Computers), and Installation coverage.
Cyber Security

The cost of a cyber event may be significant; even for a very small business. Traditional insurance was not designed for these types of risk. What will you do if your computers are infected with ransomware? What if a law enforcement entity contacts you, indicating that they believe your computers have been compromised by foreign hackers? Do you have a plan? Most business owners don’t, so you are not alone. The good news is that there is now a solution to this cyber-attack problem. It’s called Cyber Insurance.

Andy Dreyfuss

Owner, Piedmont Metro Development/NOVA Triad Partners

5 Star Review
“Our insurance needs are complex due to being a home builder as well as a land developer. Mike has taken the complicated and made it easy for us to understand and more importantly Mike’s service is above all! Having an expert insurance advisor who understands construction is incredibly important four our peace of mind and this is exactly what Mike is.”
Shawn Cummings

Owner, Agency Partners

5 Star Review
“Finally, someone that knows what they’re talking about in Insurance. It’s so refreshing to speak to the expert on real estate investing insurance. I have been so impressed with Mike’s knowledge, products available, pricing, and transparency throughout this process. It’s been a breath of fresh air. Thank you, Mike.”
Anthony Moore

Co-Owner, Pike Properties

5 Star Review
“Mike is an invaluable member of our strategic trade partner group. He is always looking for ways to help Eastwood mitigate the everyday risk of building homes while at the same time being concerned about the increasing cost of insurance.”

Kevin Hutchins

Chief Financial Officer, Eastwood Homes

“We are very thankful to the person who referred us to Mike…”

“I thought there was no way that I could get better insurance coverage, and there was no way I could get it for cheaper. Wow, was I wrong! He just about cut our cost in half and gave us at least twice the amount of coverage. We realized how unprotected we were before Mike came in. Not only was the coverage and pricing better, but his policy takes me a fraction of the time to manage my builder’s risk by having one blanket policy vs individual policies. We are very thankful to the person who referred us to Mike, and we have passed his name on to many who have had the same experience as us.”

About Mike Stelljes

Risk Management Consultant

Proudly serving the Insurance Risk Management needs of Home Builders and the Construction/Contractor Industry since 1993.

Each insured has specific needs, and my focus is to tailor an insurance program around those needs. While cost is important, ensuring each client has proper coverage is paramount.

The total cost of any insurance program is not just what a client pays in premiums. Gaps in coverage, high deductibles, and coverage endorsements/exclusions limiting coverage can and will create significant additional costs to any insurance policy. My goal is to provide the best possible solution at the lowest possible cost.

My track record speaks for itself, which is why I am proud to represent over 400 Home Builders, REI, and Contractors in 42 states across the nation and I am licensed to provide risk management products and services in 44 states.
