Frequently Asked Questions

Ocean County — Common Questions

Specific to clients and businesses in Ocean County, NJ.

Why do so many Ocean County properties end up in E&S insurance markets?+

Ocean County has New Jersey's heaviest concentration of barrier island and coastal properties. After Superstorm Sandy caused catastrophic losses across Toms River, Seaside Heights, and Long Beach Island, many standard carriers dramatically restricted their coastal appetite. Properties with prior flood claims, high wind zone classifications, or deferred maintenance commonly end up in surplus lines markets.

Can Kevin Brown place E&S coverage on Long Beach Island?+

Yes. LBI properties are among the most common E&S placements in NJ. Kevin Brown Insurance Agency has access to non-admitted carriers through London Underwriters and Burns & Wilcox that specifically cover barrier island properties rejected by standard carriers.

Is E&S coverage valid for an Ocean County mortgage lender?+

Most mortgage lenders accept E&S (non-admitted) homeowners coverage as long as it meets their minimum coverage requirements. The key is ensuring the policy's dwelling coverage limit meets or exceeds the outstanding loan balance. Kevin provides a coverage confirmation letter for lender review on request.
