Carrier appetite summary

No public, carrier-issued underwriting or appetite guide for Slide Insurance homeowners was located. Slide’s official site confirms they are a coastal property carrier focused on Florida and South Carolina, writing homeowners, condo, DP3/landlord, and commercial residential, distributed exclusively through appointed independent agents.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/about?utm_source=openai)) Key operational points that *are* publicly available are mostly process‑oriented rather than appetite rules: • Geography / products: • Active personal and commercial residential property writer in Florida and South Carolina only, with a coastal/cat‑exposed concentration.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/about?utm_source=openai)) • Products referenced: homeowners, condominium, landlord (DP3), and commercial residential. • Distribution / submissions: • Business is written only through appointed agents using Slide’s proprietary Violet platform for new FL personal lines and servicing (post‑1/29/24), legacy personal lines platform (FL DP3 quoting; SC personal lines) and a separate commercial platform.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/agents?utm_source=openai)) • Agents must request appointment and be approved by Slide; they position themselves as targeting top‑performing agencies.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/agents?utm_source=openai)) • Citizens and Farmers “takeout”/assumption programs: some Slide business flows from Citizens and Farmers depopulation/renewal blocks rather than traditional new‑business submissions. In those programs, Slide emphasizes that assumptions are done with no additional applications, inspections, or underwriting at the point of takeout; policies migrate to Slide and then renew on Slide paper/portal.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/citizens-agents?utm_source=openai)) • Preferred / target business (inferred from positioning, not explicit rules): • Residential property owners/landlords and residential habitational risks that fit standard admitted personal or commercial residential forms in FL and SC. • Agencies with higher production, tech‑forward workflows, and comfort writing coastal property, as they highlight a large coastal footprint, AI‑driven underwriting and a 5,000+ agent network.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/media-kit?utm_source=openai)) • Restricted or declined classes: • No explicit public list of ineligible homes, roof ages, protection classes, prior loss thresholds, etc., was found on the open website. • For Citizens/Farmers assumptions, Slide indicates no additional underwriting at the time of assumption; however, they do not publish what may be non‑renewed, re‑underwritten, or re‑rated later at renewal. • Because no detailed criteria are published, agents should treat appetite as “file/portal driven” and rely on real‑time portal eligibility and territory mapping, plus direct underwriter guidance. • Coverage change / endorsement handling (broker instructions): • For assumed or renewal business such as Citizens and Farmers blocks, Slide directs agents to submit many coverage changes (e.g., increasing personal liability limits, adding Screen Enclosure Hurricane endorsements, altering the $10,000 Limited Water Damage Exclusion, and other coverage changes) via email to policyservices@slideinsurance.com rather than directly in the portal.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/citizens-agents?utm_source=openai)) • Agent and service notes: • Underwriting responses are marketed as “quick,” with prefilled data in the Violet system to streamline quoting and binding.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/agents?utm_source=openai)) • Agency profile changes or new profiles are handled by the Agency Services team; current messaging suggests some profile submissions are temporarily paused and directs agents to email agencysupport@slideinsurance.com for assistance.([slideinsurance.com](https://www.slideinsurance.com/agency-profile?utm_source=openai)) Because Slide does not publish public‑facing homeowners underwriting or appetite manuals, agents should: • Log into the Slide/Violet or legacy agent portal to access current, detailed eligibility and underwriting bulletins by line and state. • Use Citizens/Farmers assumption guides and webinars (when applicable) for program‑specific instructions. • Contact their Slide territory manager, underwriting, or Agency Services for risk‑specific eligibility, roof and age limitations, distance‑to‑coast, prior loss and protection‑class rules, and any moratorium or capacity changes, as these are not described on the public website.
