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, they cut out the middle man (broker).
2. 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 and higher meth cover than our conventional insurers (despite our brokers telling us our existing insurers were the best in the market).
3. Initio is backed by IAG
IAG is one of the largest insurers in the world.
All of this caused us to have a conversation with their managing director, and we are now pleased to bring you an insurance offering in a joint venture between GRA and Initio. For an instant free online quote, please click on the banner below:
