Description
Historically, the only true property characteristic that homeowners insurance has been rated on has been construction class. There are other variables that have been used that may correlate to property characteristics, but the actual characteristics have not been used directly. This session will discuss the types of property characteristics that are available and being used in the industry today, and also the applications of these characteristics to marketing, underwriting, pricing, and claims handling (both non-catastrophe and catastrophe).
