In a recent coffee chat, Bob Broadwater, Vice President of Global Indemnity Group, broke down how Vacant Express is helping agents place specialty coverage for vacant properties faster — and with less friction.
The Context
Vacant Express, a Catalyit partner program backed by Global Indemnity Group, focuses on small specialty P&C insurance for vacant risks across the full property life cycle.
The program covers vacant land, residential, and commercial properties, and is available in 48 states — mostly on an admitted basis, with non-admitted options in tougher coastal markets like Florida.
Bob said the big differentiator is speed: retail agents get direct access, while automated risk scoring quickly determines eligibility and delivers premium indications.
Onboarding is designed to be simple, with a producer sign-up form, support resources, and occasional webinars to help agencies get started.
Why it Matters
Specialty insurance still has a reputation for being slow and complicated. Vacant Express is betting that better tech, simpler access, and sharper underwriting can turn a hard-to-place risk into a much smoother experience for agents.
