FirmSecured | Real Estate E&O Insurance
FirmSecured powered by Veritas Risk Management
Veritas Risk Management’s FirmSecured program offers comprehensive errors and omissions (E&O) insurance coverage for real estate brokers, providing protection against professional liability claims resulting from mistakes, negligence, or omissions made by a broker or agent.
The real estate industry is complex and there is always a risk of errors or omissions. Real estate brokers might be responsible for managing rental properties, working with clients to buy or sell a home, and negotiating real estate transactions. At Veritas Insurance, we also have programs for professionals other than real estate agents needing professional liability or errors & omissions insurance.
Real estate errors & omissions insurance (also known as E&O or professional liability coverage) is crucial for real estate brokers who could be responsible for managing rental properties, working with clients to buy or sell a home, and negotiating real estate transactions.
E&O insurance covers legal defense costs and any damages awarded in the event of an E & O claim. Learn more from our Ultimate Guide to Real Estate Errors & Omissions Insurance here.
How are Real Estate E&O Policies All Different?
Veritas Risk Management’s FirmSecured program offers many coverages that other brokers may be missing. Here are a couple of examples:
Contingent Bodily Injury & Property Damage (BI/PD) Coverage
Bodily injury and property damage (BI/PD) coverage is often excluded or limited in many real estate errors & omissions policies.
This means that if someone is injured while a broker is showing a house, if an agent sells a home that has undisclosed mold and the buyer gets sick, or if a dog bites a buyer, there may be no E&O coverage.
At FirmSecured, our program provides full limits of coverage for a broad array of real estate bodily injury or property damage claims.
Discrimination / Fair Housing Violations
Discrimination and fair housing violations are also common claims that may be coveraged under many E&O policies, but for a limited amount. That’s why we always offer full limits at our FirmSecured program offers for fair housing claims without sublimits.
Agent-Owned Property
Agent-owned transactions often result in E&O claims against real estate brokers. Many E&O policies have broad exclusions and gaps surrounding the purchase of property by an agent or the sale of a home in which the agent has ownership interest.
At FirmSecured, we present options that cover both sides of most agent-owned transactions.

Real Estate Cyber Liability Insurance
In addition to E&O insurance coverage, our FirmSecured team also helps brokers find cyber insurance coverage to protect against relevant cyber-related risks for real estate brokers and agents.
Cyber risks are a growing concern for businesses, and real estate brokers are no exception. Cyber liability insurance coverage can help protect against data breaches, cyber attacks, wire fraud, ransomware, and other cyber-related risks.
