Carrier appetite summary
No standalone official underwriting or appetite guide was publicly verified on the carrier website. Current official public positioning indicates Wayne Cooperative writes personal lines through independent agents only, not direct, and is licensed only in New York State except the five boroughs of New York City and Long Island. For Home, the carrier publicly markets coverage for owner-occupied 1-4 family homes, double-wide mobile homes on permanent masonry foundations, and apartments or dwellings rented to the insured. Related property offerings shown on the site suggest broader appetite for landlord risks (1-4 family rental dwellings, including secondary/seasonal weekly or monthly rentals and student housing), mobile homes, and farmowners where the dwelling is owner-occupied and required for eligibility. The site also notes a Dwelling Farm Fire option for buildings that may not qualify because of occupancy issues or structures too large for other-structures treatment, which implies a fallback market for otherwise ineligible farm-related property risks. Geographic guidance is clear: New York only, excluding NYC boroughs and Long Island. Submission/servicing guidance is agent-centric: prospects must work through an appointed independent agent; policy changes, cancellations, and underwriting-related cancellation questions are directed back to the local agent. Public producer-facing instructions are limited, but the carrier’s new-agent form shows appointment expectations including NYS P&C license information, agency background, existing carrier appointments and premium volume, E&O coverage of at least $1,000,000, disclosure of E&O claims in the last 3 years, cluster-group participation, perpetuation planning, and whether the agency has been terminated by any carriers in the last 3 years. Broker/producer note: use the Find an Agent process for consumer placement; no public appetite matrix, class-by-class restrictions, or explicit declined-home classes were verified, so any detailed risk acceptability should be confirmed with the carrier or appointed agent portal before quoting.
