California, nicknamed the Golden State, is the third largest state by area and is home to over 9,000 licensed real estate appraisers, the highest number of appraisers in the country. While there are no specific appraiser insurance requirements mandated by California’s State Board, the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers (OREA), many lenders and clients require that appraisers carry California Appraisers Errors and Omissions Insurance.

OREP specializes in placing errors and omissions insurance for real estate appraisers and agents/brokers in California. OREP offers the lowest rates on appraiser’s insurance with same day coverage & confirmation (most cases).
