OREP, in business over five years, is the E&O provider of choice for more and more home inspectors nationwide. The program provides prior acts for qualified applicants and offers the very important premises liability coverage called Bodily Injury/Property Damage (BIPD) at very reasonable rates. BIPD provides coverage for claims resulting in bodily injury or property damage occurring at the inspection site.

General Liability insurance is no longer required for the OREP program.
