Our Five Year Plan

[icon color=”Accent-Color” size=”large-2″ icon_size=”” image=”fa-search”]Focus through Simplifying and Prioritizing Processes and Policies

Meramec Valley offers a broad range of residential property insurance but will continually develop a focus on a much smaller, targeted market of Actual Cash Value policies. The goal is a continual increase in higher quality ACV properties and a decrease in high-valuation Home Owners policies. Those focused lines include:

  • Introduce New Contents-Only and Condo Policies
  • SafeGuard ACV Broad Form Owner and Tenant-Occupied Dwellings
  • Mobile Homes
