FREE Castle Replacement Cost Calculator Version 3 Online Webinar - Only Three Seats Available!

We've received many inquiries about Castle's New Replacement Cost Calculator. In order to help people familiarize themselves with this new report, we're dedicating a FREE 1-hour webinar on this topic. There are three seats remaining for this event. To secure your spot, go to: https://cdsys.webex.com




  • RiskMeter Adds Version 3 of Castle's Replacement Cost Estimator
  • CDS is pleased to announce that it has added version 3 of Castle's Web-based replacement cost estimator to the RiskMeter Online. This new tool still utilizes the same familiar user-friendly interface and generates a very accurate replacement cost based on Castle's minimum required fields. However, if you would like to "dig deeper", clicking on the new View/Edit components button, allows you to confirm or edit all of the interior features of the home, for a higher degree of precision. To see how this feature works first hand, register for our July 20th webinar at https://cdsys.webex.com

     
  • Building Characteristic Info May be Added to the RiskMeter Online
  • Based upon feedback from companies and agents, CDS is looking into adding building characteristic information to the RiskMeter Online. We would have a short form, which would return square footage and year built, and a long form, with additional information, such as number of stories, roof type, construction type, sales price, # of stories, etc. These would be available for both homes and commercial properties. CDS is trying to gauge the interest in these reports. If you are interested, CDS would like your feedback. Please contact Amanda Hahn-Graves at ahahngraves@cdsys.com, or call her at 617.737.4444.

     
  • COBRA Zones Added to RiskMeter Online's Flood Report
  • The RiskMeter Online has added another vital piece of information to its Flood report. Not only will the RiskMeter Online return SFHA, Community Name and Number, Zone, Panel Number and Date, FIPS Code and Census Tract, BUT it will also tell you if a policy falls in or out of a CORBA (Coastal Barriers Resource Act) Zone. This single piece of information alone will help you to determine whether to continue or eliminate underwriting a policy. For more information, please contact your account executive today!

     
  • IL Added to Distance to Fire Station Report
  • CDS has just added IL to its Distance to Fire Station report. This brings the total number of states of 21! We will continue to add more states until we meet our goal of providing nationwide coverage. We want your feedback to see which states we should add next. If there is a state you would like to see us add, please contact Jamie Munson at 617.737.4444 or jmunson@cdsys.com In addition, we also have responding fire district boundaries for the following states: CA, FL, HI, IL, KS, MS, ND and VA.

     
  • NY Fire Tax Codes Now Available
  • Did you know there is a 2% tax on fire premiums for all foreign insurers? Unfortunately, this means you must code EVERY policy with the proper fire district code. Although this might sound like a daunting task, the RiskMeter Online can now properly code your policies with the correct fire tax codes for the state of NY. For more information, please contact your account executive today.

    **The RiskMeter can already assign the proper tax codes in several states, including: AL, FL, GA, IL, LA, NJ, and SC. If there are other states you are interested in, let us know! We can perform real-time reports, as well as run your entire book through quarterly or yearly. Let us make this painful process easier for you!

     
  • Upcoming Events - Meet the CDS Team!
  • CDS will be exhibiting at the following upcoming conferences. Whether you're a customer or prospect, we'd love to meet with you onsite at these exceptional events!
