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 South Carolina 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 real estate & property mgmt, in the order they typically attach, with the South Carolina factor that changes how each one must be structured here.
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. In South Carolina, commercial property w/ blanket limits and stated values deserves particular attention: Wind pool routing on the coast and replacement-cost discipline inland are both structural decisions. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and South Carolina specifics before any quote is requested.
Generally yes at four or more employees, with some industry exceptions. Staffing arrangements and subcontractor relationships affect the count, so growing businesses should confirm before they cross the line rather than after.
The two compound here. The exposure that most often drives loss for real estate & property mgmt is replacement-cost shortfall + coinsurance, and South Carolina layers coastal wind pool routing on top of it. A program built for the industry but priced without the South Carolina layer tends to look fine until the first claim touches both at once, which is exactly the read ARIA runs before any market is approached.
