Overview

The Home Line of Business in RiskAdvisor helps you capture the right risk profile for different types of homes. Instead of a one-size-fits-all form, RiskAdvisor tailors questions, property data, exposures, and coverages based on the property type:

  • Standard Home (default)

  • Condo

  • Mobile/Manufactured Home

  • Renters

  • Landlord / Full-Time Rental Property

This ensures the quote request form stays relevant, faster to complete, and aligned with carrier expectations.

Standard Home (Default)

When you start a Home Risk Profile, the default is Home (Single-Family Residence).

You’ll see:

  • Discovery questions like Primary Usage and Do you ever rent this home to others?

  • Standard exposures: pool, trampoline, pets, etc.

  • Coverage details: HO3 form (default), with dwelling, Coverage B, C, and D applied automatically.


Condo

When you switch the property type to Condo:

  • Address + optional Apartment/Suite number required.

  • Pull Property Data button enabled (improves accuracy for condos).

  • Exposures: pool/trampoline questions removed.

  • Property Details: “Which floor is the condo located on?” added.

  • Residence type & construction style: pre-set to Condo.

  • Coverage Details:

    • Policy form defaults to HO6.

    • Coverages B, C, D = manual entry only (not % of dwelling).

    • Additional coverages scoped down to those relevant for condos.


Mobile / Manufactured Home

When you select Mobile Home:

  • Property Data Lookup disabled (data is unreliable for manufactured homes).

  • Discovery: adds “Location Type” (Park, Subdivision, Private Property).

    • If Park: follow-ups for “Do you own the land?” and “How many lots?”

  • Property Details: Mobile Home Type, Make/Model, Length, Serial #, Tied down?, Skirted?

  • Coverage Details: Policy form defaults to Manufactured Home.


Renters

When you select Renters:

  • Discovery: only asks for address + Apartment/Suite (if applicable).

  • Exposures: pool and trampoline remain (since they may apply to a home being rented).

  • Property Details: scoped down to only what carriers require for HO4.

  • Coverage Details:

    • Policy form defaults to HO4.

    • No dwelling coverage.

    • Manual entry for B, C, D.

    • Additional coverages limited to renter-eligible ones.


Landlord / Full-Time Rental Property

When you select Use = Full-Time Rental Property:

  • Discovery adds:

    • Shortest rental period (annual, monthly, weekly, nightly).

    • Who manages the property (Self vs. Property Manager).

    • Option to add a different mailing address for the insured.

  • Coverage details remain aligned to landlord-type exposures.


Personal Articles Floater

Across all Home types, you’ll see an option for Personal Articles Floater.

  • If selected, a repeating section appears.

  • You can enter:

    • Type of coverage (e.g., jewelry, art).

    • Blanket vs. per-item coverage.

    • Appraisal on file?

    • Item in vault?

  • Add multiple scheduled items as needed.
