Risk Control

IMA works closely with clients to design comprehensive plans to prevent and mitigate loss for real estate agencies. We start by analyzing past losses, reviewing written policies and procedures, conducting on-site risk assessments and holding meetings with management and staff. Custom service plans then help property owners and management achieve their risk management goals.

Claim Management

At IMA we don’t just process claims, we actively manage them. On average, 60 to 70 percent of your insurance dollars can be allocated to pay claims. The IMA claim management approach can help you reduce these costs. Prompt reporting, early intervention, aggressive investigation, timely settlement, and excellent communication are the foundation of our claim management success.
