How Gerald Ross Agency Helps You Save
Why Homes Are Hard to Place in Oregon Coast
The most common reasons homes are hard to place in Oregon Coast include: location in a high wildfire risk area, older home with outdated systems, prior claims history, rural location far from fire stations, and certain construction types. Gerald Ross Agency understands these challenges and has solutions.
Specialty Market Options
Before recommending the Oregon FAIR Plan, Gerald Ross Agency exhausts all specialty market options. We work with surplus lines carriers and specialty insurers that cover high-risk properties — often with broader coverage and competitive rates compared to the FAIR Plan.
Fire Mitigation Can Help
Implementing fire mitigation measures can help you qualify for standard or specialty market coverage. Gerald Ross Agency can advise you on which mitigation steps will have the most impact for insurance purposes.
Oregon FAIR Plan as Last Resort
If no standard or specialty market options are available, the Oregon FAIR Plan provides basic fire coverage as insurance of last resort. Most FAIR Plan policyholders also need a DIC policy to cover liability and other perils not included in the FAIR Plan.
