Carrier appetite summary
Verified official producer-facing guidance is limited. Buckeye writes through independent agents and publicly states it offers home insurance, along with auto, farm, dwelling fire, personal umbrella, and inland marine, in Ohio, Indiana, and Kansas. For Home, the public product page emphasizes replacement-cost adequacy and optional enhancements such as service line and equipment breakdown, but it does not publish a formal homeowner appetite guide, class restrictions, or a declination list on the public site. Practical takeaway: preferred business appears to be standard personal lines home risks that fit Buckeye’s admitted footprint and can be placed through local independent agents; geography is explicitly limited to OH, IN, and KS. Submission/producer notes: agents are assigned an underwriter, Buckeye emphasizes direct underwriter access and annual in-person agency visits, and interested agencies are directed to the Become an Agent form or phone contact at 800-672-3558 ext. 1448. Broker/producer benefits published include competitive commissions, profit sharing, achievable volume commitments, preferred agency program, enhanced co-op allowances, and claims draft authority. Notable underwriting note: Buckeye’s 2025 annual report says agency feedback referenced recent guideline changes that made some business harder to write, but no detailed revised rules are publicly posted. No verified official page with specific homeowner restricted/declined classes, protection class limits, age-of-home thresholds, coastal/cat constraints, or required submission data was found on the public site, so those items should be obtained directly from Buckeye underwriting or appointed-agent materials.
