Obie, insurance platform for real estate investors, has collaborated with Markel, a leading global specialty insurance provider, to expand capacity for its nationwide program. The integration empowers investors with greater flexibility, competitive pricing, and tailored coverage that aligns with their risk profile and investment strategy.  

Expanding access to carriers like Markel gives landlords and real estate investors more control in an increasingly complex insurance market. As rates fluctuate and underwriting tightens, investors need flexible, competitively priced options that reflect their unique property needs and long-term goals. Markel brings decades of underwriting knowledge and experience to Obie’s platform. This expansion comes just weeks after Obie added Hadron Specialty Insurance and Southlake Specialty Insurance to its marketplace, and these options will collectively help real estate investors find dependable, tailored coverage that helps support both protection and profitability.

This collaboration benefits the full spectrum of Obie’s distribution model. Embedded partners gain access to more instant, bindable quotes with their workflows, helping keep deals on track and reducing client drop-off. Insurance agents receive a new competitive option to place business in both standard and challenging markets. And for landlords, it’s one more way Obie delivers choice and control in a space that often lacks both.

“Adding Markel to our platform reinforces Obie’s commitment to giving investors real choice in a space that often overlooks them,” said Judson Taylor, Head of Insurance Product at Obie. “Markel brings quality and flexibility to our growing network of partners, helping our users protect their properties and move their investments forward.”
