Carrier appetite summary
Verified public guidance is limited; no public underwriting manual or detailed appetite guide was found on Slide’s official site. Current published positioning shows Slide writing property business for homeowners and related residential risks, with consumer-facing products listed as Homeowners, Condominium, Landlord, and Commercial Residential. Slide describes its focus as serving coastal homeowners and states that its agent platform provides quick underwriting responses and pre-filled fields, indicating technology-driven point-of-sale underwriting rather than a public class-by-class appetite matrix. Geographic notes: Slide publicly shows service in Florida and South Carolina, and also shows California, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island on its website; however, California is specifically noted as surplus lines only through a properly licensed California surplus lines broker and remains subject to underwriting approval. The appointment request page also lists Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Texas as states available to request for agency appointment, but this should be treated as distribution/appointment availability rather than confirmed open appetite for each state. Preferred business, based on official published language, appears to be personal residential property risks—especially homeowners and coastal residential business—plus condo and landlord/DP3-type risks, with commercial residential available in Florida through a separate platform. Restricted/declined classes are not publicly itemized on verified official pages, so no specific property conditions, occupancy classes, protection class limits, age restrictions, or animal/liability exclusions could be confirmed from public sources. Submission requirements and producer notes: agents are directed to use Slide’s proprietary Violet platform for Florida and South Carolina quote/service on business written after January 29, 2024; the legacy platform remains available for Florida and South Carolina DP3 quote and service; commercial residential business in Florida is handled through a separate commercial platform. Slide states it is looking to partner with top-performing agents, offers an online appointment request, and asks agencies to select requested states and market focus (personal lines only, commercial only, or both). Operationally, brokers should expect platform-based submission, state-specific routing, and underwriting approval requirements, especially for California surplus lines placements. Because no public detailed underwriting guide was verified, any binding assumptions about excluded classes, roof/age restrictions, inspections, or catastrophe concentration rules should be confirmed directly with Slide underwriting or agency support before submission.
