PC HOA faced a critical insurance renewal that threatened the community’s operating budget. With premiums rising, deductibles increasing, and no competitive options available, the board needed a fast, decisive solution. Engaged under a tight three week deadline, Starnet Insurance Group delivered a replacement program that produced substantial savings while preserving strong coverage across property, general liability, and umbrella policies.
The Challenge
The HOA’s prior renewal terms had become increasingly costly, creating immediate budget pressure and long term financial risk. The Board required competitive quotes for property insurance, HOA general liability insurance, and HOA umbrella coverage within a compressed timeframe. Market conditions and the age of the property limited carrier appetite, and many insurers were reluctant to offer favorable terms. The association needed an insurance broker who could move quickly, evaluate exposures accurately, and negotiate aggressively on their behalf.
The Strategy
1. Comprehensive and rapid review
Starnet Insurance Group conducted a concise but thorough analysis of existing policies, identifying coverage gaps and prioritizing protections most important to the HOA. This targeted review clarified negotiation levers and allowed the team to present carriers with a clear, accurate picture of the association’s risk profile.
2. Targeted market outreach
Leveraging established carrier relationships and deep market knowledge, Starnet Insurance Group identified insurers willing to compete on both rate and coverage. By creating competitive tension among underwriters, the team increased the likelihood of favorable pricing and improved terms within the tight timeframe.
3. Strategic underwriting negotiation
Negotiations with underwriters were focused and decisive. Starnet Insurance Group balanced cost savings with coverage integrity, clearly outlining trade offs and recommendations to the Board so decision makers could act confidently and quickly.
The Results
Within the three week window, Starnet Insurance Group placed a new insurance program that delivered measurable financial and operational benefits:
• Approximately 70,000 USD in total premium savings on about 26,000,000 USD in exposure.
• Lowered costs across property, HOA general liability, and HOA umbrella coverage.
• Immediate budget relief and improved long term financial stability for the HOA.
• Market validation: the PC HOA Board reported that no other broker they contacted matched the rate and terms Starnet Insurance Group secured.
The Board praised Starnet Insurance Group’s professionalism, market expertise, and negotiating skill, noting that the outcome made a “remarkable difference” for their community.
