The C.A.R. (California Association of Realtors) along with CSI (Costello & Sons Insurance) recently made an announcement that they have joined forces to create RERS (Real Estate Risk Services). The new company brings together a portion of the California Association of Realtors, which currently covers everything from workers’ comp to auto and home insurance. In addition, there will be no obligation risk analysis and an assessment for insurance needs for brokers and realtors.

CSI is looking forward to working with C.A.R. and believe that the goals of C.A.R. are the same as CSI’s. Their plan is to bring together their firms in California, numbering in the thousands, and have them under one umbrella. They also plan to start with a basic service and build on those services down the road.

CSI has already been named as one of the top 25 innovators in the United States insurance industry. Their home office is in Northern California and they specialize in personal insurance and real estate. Just a couple of months ago the Marin Green Business Program certified CSI as a green company, which was largely due to CSI’s business model of being a “paperless” company, by conducting most of its business through their website.
