New Light in the Homeowners Market
After Hurricane Odile, in late 2014, we have seen a deterioration in the Mexico Homeowners markets with companies tightening underwriting guidlines, rating rate, and in the case of our own program with ACE, pulling out of the market.
Despite this, there are thousands of Americans and Canadians who own or rent homes and condos in Mexico each year who need coverage, and prefer to buy it from you rather than someone random that may or may not speak English. They prefer to purchase a policy they can read, with coverage they can understand. That is what we have tried to create with GNP.
GNP is an A - rated Mexican Insurance Company. They are Mexico's second largest insurance carrier, and large player in terms of property insurance in Mexico.
