T&T: Annapolis Surveyor (Hartoft)

[George Hechtman]

Jim wrote: " His verbal report to me at the end of the sea trial  
focused on important things and
their approximate repair costs, but when I received his written  
report, with
26 pages of findings, I really had difficulty separating the wheat  
from the
chaff.  More importantly, so did insurance companies to whom I  
subsequently
submitted that survey."

I think they have cleared that up now. My survey distinguished  
between "underwriting issues" , which were called out separately   
within each of the sections, which in turn were classified as  
"Essential"(need to address) "Required" (should address soon) and  
"Desirable" (nice to have). Of course even this didn't prevent one  
insurance brokerage company (well known to this list) from getting  
discombobulated anyway and just about blowing the sale, until I found  
one that "got it" (and wrote the policy with the same company as the  
first would have used). Make very sure you are told in writing by the  
insurer exactly what they expect you to correct.
Anyway, I have found the survey and its process very useful.
