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
