The Beauty of Blanket: Simplicity

Blanket Mortgage Hazard is a robust insurance coverage but just as crucially, it creates operational simplicity and savings. There is no need to monitor Hazard insurance after you verify it at closing so Blanket Mortgage Hazard eliminates the need to react to track renewals, react to cancellation or non-renewal notices, and force-place Hazard insurance.

How Does Blanket Mortgage Hazard Insurance Protect Real Estate Loan Portfolios?

Lee & Mason provides Blanket Mortgage Hazard coverage to protect residential mortgage, 2nd/HELOC, and commercial real estate portfolios. These policies are an efficient way to eliminate significant daily time and expense of related to borrower insurance while protecting the entire portfolio.

The loan servicing team can redirect focus to other tasks while the lender has peace of mind knowing each loan is covered in the event of otherwise uninsured physical damage. Like a lender-placed certificate, BMH protects damage up to the lender's interest (outstanding loan balance) but eliminates the time, hassle and expense of insuring individual locations.

Features
