Ensuring a safety net for real estate organizations... Risk exists in every corner of the real estate business, from construction costs to unpredictable catastrophic events, there are abundant factors that could adversely affect the economics of a real estate. Insurance and risk management comes hand in hand to mitigate these potential risks as much as feasibly possible with the determination of risk versus reward. Positions in this field will need to asses the risk environment of projects and seek the balance between the associated value and risk to form a judgement and decision based on the analysis. High risk transactions will come with the choices to avoid, implement control measures and risk transfer, where insurance is used to shift the risk to the insurer. This creates an underlying layer of safety within key aspects of real estate projects to ensure protection to parties involved in the real estate transaction.
