As active property investors, at GRA we noticed our insurance brokers were charging us more each and every year. So we started to shop around, and in the process we came across Initio.
We discovered that:
1. Initio are cheaper
Because they are online, and specialise in insuring houses.
2. You can get a quote in seconds
All you have to do is enter the address of the property and Initio will show you the cost to insure that property - it's that easy! The same is true for your motor vehicle: simply type in your rego. Click here to get a quote.
3. Their benefits are comprehensive
Initio's benefits are equal to or exceed the other covers we had in our portfolios. Their cover includes loss of rents, deliberate damage by tenants, and meth contamination.
4. Initio is backed by IAG
Initio is underwritten by IAG, the largest general insurer in Australasia. Learn about their financial strength here.
All of this caused us to have a conversation with their CEO, and GRA are now pleased to bring you an insurance offering in partnership with Initio. For an instant free online quote, please click on the banner below:
