Real estate carries the largest property-loss tail of any industry — a single weather event can exhaust a year of EBITDA. Beyond the building itself, every tenant relationship, every rental application, every common-area incident creates liability exposure. The line that surprises owners is fair-housing / discrimination claims. They're routinely underinsured.
Below is that profile under Georgia rules: Southeast perils, state statutes, and the market structure built around them.
The exposures that hit this class hardest, drawn from analysis of mid-market accounts. The structural ones cost more than the premium-driven ones.

The lines ARIA recommends for a well-structured program in this industry, in the order they typically attach.
The core stack for real estate & property mgmt typically starts with Commercial Property w/ blanket limits and stated values, Wind / Named Storm endorsement (coastal only), Flood (NFIP + excess private), Commercial General Liability w/ tenant-discrimination AI, structured in that order. Workers' compensation is required at three or more employees, including part-time workers and corporate officers unless exempted. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and Georgia specifics before any quote is requested.
Yes, for businesses with three or more employees, including part-time staff. Sole proprietors and partners can exempt themselves but should price the decision, not default into it.
For the industry itself: replacement-cost shortfall + coinsurance. Construction inflation has outpaced policy limit increases for most owners. A total loss can trigger 20-30% coinsurance penalties because the policy limit no longer represents 80% of replacement cost. Layered on top in Georgia: nuclear verdicts on commercial auto. Georgia juries have returned eight and nine figure verdicts against trucking and delivery operations. A $1M auto liability limit that looked standard five years ago is meaningfully exposed today. Umbrella structure is no longer optional for fleet operators.
