North Carolina-based Montgomery Insurance Harvests Farm Business

August 6, 2008

Charlotte, N.C.-based Montgomery Insurance, a Liberty Mutual Agency Markets regional company, introduced its farm line of business on Commercial IQ — a web-based application for quoting and application submission.

Agents in Tennessee are now realizing faster turn-around time with SmartNav the pre-qualification tool within Commercial IQ that helps agents determine which farm exposures are acceptable risks. It also informs agents which related lines of business may be offered with farm coverages.

Commercial IQ also allows for the attachment of documents and photos to submissions and provides automated rating support for commonly requested coverage options and rules.

Montgomery Insurance’s Farm appetite is growing, offering coverage for small liability exposures up to large commercial operations. The company also specializes in writing hobby farms for customers who don’t farm for revenue. Coverages for hobby farms can also include primary residences and personal liability.
