NYC Real Estate Experts Share Intel on Getting Deals Done During a Pandemic

Leave a comment


Richard Haggerty, CEO of HGAR and president of OneKey™ MLS

“Our industry is facing myriad challenges posed by the pandemic, but deals are happening – we had 131 new listings submitted in just the last 24 hours,” said Haggerty.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, Inc. (HGAR) and OneKey™ MLS have teamed up with TitleVest to offer complimentary webinars on real estate transaction best practices to help agents and brokers navigate the changing landscape during the COVID-19 crisis.

Hundreds of industry professionals tuned in April 30 for the launch of “Getting the Deal Done in NYC: Real Estate Transaction Best Practices During a Pandemic,” which was hosted by Richard Haggerty, CEO of HGAR and president of OneKey™ MLS, the new regional multiple listing service for New York.

“Our industry is facing myriad challenges posed by the pandemic, but deals are happening – we had 131 new listings submitted in just the last 24 hours,” said Haggerty. “That’s why we put together this series, to share with our colleagues the latest developments to help get those deals done – safely and efficiently.”

The hour-long session focused on pre-closing strategies for renegotiations, due diligence, title searches and digital-document transfers.

“We’re starting to see more and more contracts being signed and all of this increased activity presents tremendous opportunities,” said Brian D. Tormey, NTP, president of TitleVest, a leading New York City-based provider of title insurance and related real estate services. “We’re here today to explore what we should be doing now to set ourselves up for success as we navigate forward.”

Tormey moderated the in-depth panel discussion, which featured real estate attorney Bruce M. Cohen, founding partner of Cohen and Frankel in New York City, and Jim Brune, founder of BoardPackager, an online platform for real estate transactions that enables qualifying parties to digitally disseminate and receive diligence and process applications, payments and transfers.

“We’re feeling the pulse and we’re going to see more listings coming up. There’s a real opportunity for your clients right now to get into the ballgame,” said Cohen. “Get your due diligence done ahead of time, with pre-approvals and so forth, so you can hit the ground running post- COVID-19.”

In the second part of the series on May 7, Cohen and Brune shared intel on closing real estate transactions, from remote notarizations and appointing a power of attorney, to getting signed contracts and “virtual” vs. “table” closings.

“The pandemic has hastened the move to digital and agents need to leverage that technology,” said Brune. “Once the executive order is lifted, there will be resistance to fully staff building management and other offices. We have these digital platforms in place now to be prepared for what’s next.”

The third part of “Getting the Deal Done” is scheduled for May 14 and will feature a panel of top producers in New York City discussing strategies for conducting deals during the pandemic and preparing for the road to recovery. The series is part of the “Be Your Best” webinar program created by HGAR and OneKey™ MLS, to assist Realtors and agents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Arrowhead Deploys Small-to-Medium Commercial Portfolio on Instec Policy System

Leave a comment


Walter Grote, President, Arrowhead Core Commercial

Walter Grote, President, Arrowhead Core Commercial

“Our application of Instec’s system is a prime example of Arrowhead’s commitment to deploy innovative technology to create tailored products and simpler processes for our producers and clients.”


NAPERVILLE, Ill. (PRWEB)

Instec, the market leader in software for insurance programs and complex commercial insurance, announced today that Arrowhead General Insurance Agency, Inc. has implemented the Instec Policy system for its Arrowhead Core Commercial business.

Arrowhead, a subsidiary of Brown and Brown Inc., is a national program manager for commercial, specialty and personal lines. In 2017, QBE North America selected Arrowhead as program administrator for its small commercial portfolio. The book contains business accounts with under $100,000 in premium and is the centerpiece of Arrowhead Core Commercial, the company’s small-to-medium commercial offering.

At the time of the deal, QBE and Arrowhead cited “an easier and more efficient underwriting experience for agents and their clients” as a benefit of Arrowhead’s policy platform. QBE and Arrowhead stated that the Arrowhead platform would “make product improvements easier to execute to meet the evolving needs of the small commercial marketplace.”

Arrowhead selected Instec as the platform for the QBE book based on prior experience with the company. Instec’s policy system had been in use on Arrowhead’s Manufactured Housing Program since 2016. Arrowhead saw the system’s support for commercial, multi-line, ISO-based policies as a good fit for the QBE business.

Arrowhead took advantage of Instec’s self-configuration tools to create many of the QBE book’s 78 custom coverages on top of the ISO content included with the system. In addition, the company used Ghostdraft, which Instec also includes with its product, to build nearly 800 custom forms.

“Instec’s ISO library and Ghostdraft were major contributors to the speed of the project,” said Walter Grote, President of Arrowhead Core Commercial. The Instec system provided 95 percent of what we needed before we started.”

Instec’s APIs facilitated integration with Arrowhead’s online portal, Arrowhead Exchange. Instec Policy provides the “black box” rating and issuance engine, while the portal provides the front-end user experience.

The QBE book was transitioned to Arrowhead’s platform state-by-state in less than 24 months. The products were first refiled using the most recent ISO updates, and the first three states went into production less than nine months from the start of the project. The remaining states were added monthly, three to four at a time, over the following year. Today, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have been launched, with seven lines of business.

“Our application of Instec’s system is a prime example of Arrowhead’s commitment to deploy innovative technology to create tailored products and simpler processes for our producers and clients,” said Grote.

Arrowhead believes that the Core Commercial platform has proven so successful that it is now transitioning other program business in its portfolio to the Instec Policy system.

About Arrowhead General Insurance Agency Inc.

Arrowhead General Insurance Agency, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, is a national insurance program manager for commercial and personal products and is one of the largest in the U.S. with $1.3 billion written premium in 2019.

DropIn InsurTech Offers Solution for Remote Home Appraisals

Leave a comment


“This simple process complies with social distancing policies, while giving homeowners and homebuyers the peace of mind to make an informed decision.”


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

DropIn, a Los Angeles-based tech company pioneering video home inspections, is urging homebuyers and home inspectors to use its platform during the COVID-19 pandemic. Live-streaming a home inspection is the easiest way to comply with social distancing and shelter in place mandates, while still getting an immersive experience.

A home inspection is one of the most critical steps of the home buying process. Prospective buyers are right to want to be part of it, on-site to ask an inspector or appraiser questions about the investment they’re about to make. Without this opportunity, they might be left with questions when the inspection report comes—or worse, they could buy a home without knowledge of a major flaw.

Live streaming allows homebuyers to sit at home on their couch while getting a firsthand look at everything their inspector sees during a review. DropIn’s platform and process make it easy. The inspector arrives on-site and sends a DropIn link to the client. Then, the client accepts the link and opens it on their phone, tablet or computer. The inspector completes the inspection normally, with the client watching. Clients can ask questions or get feedback from the inspector during the process. When the inspection is done, all the information is cataloged for later review.

“DropIn delivers a complete home inspection and/or appraisal, without any face-to-face, in-person interaction,” said DropIn CEO Joseph Shemesh. “This simple process complies with social distancing policies, while giving homeowners and homebuyers the peace of mind to make an informed decision.”

Because DropIn records and archives the entire live stream, there’s no worry about overlooked information. If homeowners ask a question on the livestream or the appraiser notes something during the inspection, it’ll be preserved in the record.

The information gleaned from a home inspection or appraisal is vital for any real estate transaction. Buyers and sellers can’t afford not to have it. DropIn makes it possible to stay informed and get the information needed to make a confident real estate purchase from the comfort of your couch.

For more information about DropIn or its new web-based video streaming platform, please visit the company’s website, https://dropininc.com.

DropIn is an on-demand live video inspection service for insurance adjusters that improves the claims-handling process, increases work efficiency, and speeds up the underwriting process. Adjusters hire Dropin’s on-demand ClaimsDirectTM Drone, and DroperatorTM workforce, to preview or assess claims via a live video stream, without ever leaving

DALLAS (PRWEB)

CADON Capital LLC, a leading information technology company, announced today its new cloud-based solution that allows contractors and policyholders to enter into interest-free deductible payment plan agreements. The CADON Capital online deductible payment platform will empower homeowners and commercial property owners to make deductible payments over time, giving contractors, mortgage companies, and banks the ability to streamline and track deductible payments.

According to Forbes, over 60% of Americans do not have enough savings to pay for a $500 emergency.

CADON Capital’s solution provides homeowners, commercial property owners, and contractors a way to enter into a legal payment agreement to pay the deductible in full over a time period agreed upon by both parties.

“With COVID-19’s rippling effect on the economy, American families and businesses deserve the freedom to control their cash flow now more than ever,” said Jeff Cady, Chief Executive Officer, CADON Capital. “With no interest and no credit checks, the CADON Capital platform will give homeowners and commercial property owners peace of mind in knowing they can still file insurance claims for property damage due to water, hail, wind, or fire – without having to pay the entire deductible up front.”

Tested and proven in the marketplace, CADON Capital’s easy-to-use platform offers member contractors the tools they need to streamline, track, and receive deductible payments in real-time – all online.

“CADON’s test group of member contractors and their clients have given us excellent feedback on the platform’s ease of use and flexibility,” said David Myler, Chief Operating Officer, CADON Capital. “Because of the overwhelming demand for deductible payment options, CADON Compliant contractors will definitely have a competitive edge in the market. Not only will they be the hero to their customers by offering payment options with zero interest and zero credit checks, they will also reap the benefits of receiving deductible payment installments right away.”

CADON Capital also offers all interested parties, including mortgage companies and banks, full transparency into their policyholders’ deductible payment agreements and payment completion.

ABOUT CADON CAPITAL

Established in 2012, CADON Capital LLC is a leading technology entity that provides valuable, measurable results that offer CADON clients new profits that were once thought unattainable. CADON Capital offers a proprietary cloud-based payment agreement platform that makes deductible payments easy, providing member contractors, homeowners, and commercial property owners record and proof of payment of insurance deductibles.

Introducing Swoogo’s New CEO, Chris Sykes

Leave a comment


New Swoogo CEO Chris Sykes Standing outdoors

Chris Sykes, CEO, Swoogo

Swoogo’s people and product are the best in the industry. I’m excited to work with Leonora, Tim, Neil and the rest of the team to continue delivering on our mission of helping event marketers get sh!t done.


WARREN, R.I. (PRWEB)

Swoogo is excited to announce that Chris Sykes, backed by a group of experienced entrepreneurs and advisors, has acquired a majority ownership stake in the company.

Sykes’s long-term strategic investment with Swoogo represents the next phase of succession planning for event tech visionary and industry leader Leonora Valvo. Leonora & Chris’s partnership culminates a long and thoughtful search process by both parties that spanned over a year.

Chris is joining as Swoogo’s CEO after founding and leading Eagle Rock Capital and running a nationwide search focused on the events industry. Prior to Eagle Rock, Chris spent five years advising companies on marketing, sales, and growth strategy at Axia Limited and Accenture Strategy. Chris holds an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management and a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University.

“My experience working with companies on event strategy, planning, and execution has given me a firsthand understanding of the value that Swoogo brings to customers,” said Sykes. “Swoogo’s people and product are the best in the industry. I’m excited to work with Leonora, Tim, Neil and the rest of the team to continue delivering on our mission of helping event marketers get sh!t done.”

Chris will acquire Swoogo’s assets, team, and customer contracts, and the business will continue to operate under the Swoogo Brand. Swoogo’s former leadership team will remain intact, with Tim Cummins and Neil Keefe continuing to run the product side and Leonora Valvo serving as an advisor to the new CEO. “I am excited to work with Chris as he takes over the reins at Swoogo,” said Leonora. “My ongoing participation as an Advisor is perfectly suited to my passion for the company and the industry as well as my dream of sailing adventures.”

Founded in 2016, Swoogo provides user-friendly, intuitive registration and marketing software for live and virtual events. Swoogo’s roots are deeply embedded in the event technology world, with all three of its founders having previously founded and developed Aventri (formerly etouches) and its core team composed of long-time event tech veterans.

Swoogo will continue to serve the 300+ businesses that rely on the software for their experiential marketing operations while continuing to improve Swoogo’s product, processes, and ability to deliver on the company’s mission of making life simpler for event planners. Swoogo’s customer base spans the US, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region, and Sykes plans to continue to grow the business from a global perspective.

The acquisition announcement was delivered to Swoogo employees, all of whom will remain in their current positions, late last week. The business has recently made a significant and successful pivot to support virtual events, and the entire team looks forward to continuing to build the Swoogo Virtual offering alongside the longer-standing live events business.

“The events industry is going through a tough time right now, but I’m confident that it will emerge from this stronger. When it does, Swoogo will be there to facilitate whether it’s in person, virtual, or hybrid,” said Sykes.

Swoogo’s operations are currently fully remote, with employees around the US, South America, Europe, and Australia. While the business will remain distributed, the official Swoogo headquarters will shift from its current base in Warren, Rhode Island to Los Angeles, California.

How To Get A Good Driver Discounts And Save Money

Leave a comment


News Image

“Saving money on car insurance is more important now than ever. One good method to do that is by getting a good driver discount that is offered for safe, low-risk drivers.”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents all the information drivers need to know about the good driver discount.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/what-is-good-driver-discount-and-who-can-get-it/

The good driver discount is a discount given by car insurance providers to safe, low-risk drivers. Every insurer has its own rules for determining who is and who is not a good driver. Some insurance providers require drivers to have a clean driving record for just one year, while other insurers will offer this discount for drivers who have at least five years of clean driving.

The best way for drivers to get this discount is to shop around with insurers from their areas. Even if they don’t qualify at one insurer, drivers might be eligible for a good driver discount at another provider. Some companies will ignore a speeding ticket, or even one at-fault accident, while others will not ignore any of these. Drivers should contact their car insurance companies and check if they are eligible for a good driver discount.

Regarding good driver discount, drivers should know more about the following:


  • How to qualify for a good driver discount. Depending on the insurer, obtaining this discount can be easy or hard. To have better chances of getting the discount, drivers can take a defensive driving course to show their insurers they’ve learned how to be better, safer drivers. Drivers can also purchase forgiveness coverage from their insurers and have one-at fault accident forgiven from their records. Shopping around at different insurers is also a good idea. Drivers should avoid reckless driving and follow the speed limits and signs and avoid getting a ticket. In fact, drivers should drive defensively and leave plenty of room between themselves and other drivers.

  • How drivers can lose their good driver discount. Good driver discounts aren’t permanent. With one mistake, drivers can lose their good driver discount. Insurance providers have different rules regarding the loss of good driver discounts. Usually, drivers can lose this discount for reasons such as getting traffic or moving violation tickets, being at-fault in an accident, making a claim under the collision coverage or even getting just one point on their license.

  • Some states require insurance providers to offer good driver discounts. In California, for example, insurers are required to offer a 20% discount to good drivers who had a license for the past three years, had not lost more than one point on their driving record due to a violation, had not taken traffic school or a defensive driving course more than once because of a violation, had not been at-fault in an accident that resulted in injury or death within the last five years, and had no convictions within the last ten years for DUI-related offenses.

  • How long do drivers need to wait to qualify for the good driver discount. Although speeding tickets and at-fault accidents remain permanently on the driving record, most states only allow providers to view incidents dating back three to five years. However, some states have exceptions for DUI-related offenses. Drivers who were convicted of a DUI offense in the past ten years in California are not allowed to get this discount.

  • Compare insurance quotes to find good driver discounts. Drivers who do not qualify for a safe driving discount with their current insurer should compare quotes from other insurance companies. Some car insurance companies have looser rules regarding safe driving discounts.

Primex’s New Golf Cart Dividers

The PrimexProtect™ Eagle and Birdie lines of golf cart dividers are easily installed on any golf cart.


Richmond, Ind. (PRWEB)

Most golf courses around the nation are slowly opening following months of closures and restrictions. But golf carts have been in short supply at many courses since most are requiring golfers to use individual carts. In order for courses to keep golfers on the course while still practicing social distancing, Primex Plastics Corporation has created the PrimexProtect™ Eagle and Birdie lines of golf cart dividers (patent pending). They are easily installed plastic shielding systems for golf carts. Now carts can be shared by two golfers while helping maintain social distancing, getting courses running at full capacity.

The Eagle system extends from the seat back to the dash, while the Birdie version runs from the seat back to the front edge of the seat. Both systems are made from clear vinyl sheet, attach easily with no drilling or tools required, and roll up out of the way when not needed. The dividers are constructed with hook and loop fasteners for attachment to the cart roof, and galvanized wire weighting at the bottom. They can be disinfected with mild soap and water or most cleaning agents.

Prices for the Birdie version start at $29.95 each, while the Eagle starts at $49.95 each.

Since early March, Primex has been producing its line of PrimexProtect™ products to ensure safety for first responders, medical personnel, other employees and customers. With the Eagle and Birdie dividers, the product line keeps expanding and now includes face shields, social distancing barriers and medical waste containers, as well as social distancing signage and ear protection.

All PrimexProtect™ products are proudly produced in Richmond, Indiana at Primex’s Design & Fabrication division.
