Individual vs. Brokerage E&O Coverage in Cape May County
Many Cape May County real estate agents assume they are covered under their brokerage's E&O policy. However, brokerage policies often have significant gaps, exclusions for independent contractors, or sublimits that leave individual agents exposed. Kevin Brown recommends individual E&O policies for all Cape May County real estate professionals.
