Gyula, Irén, Panni and Boti live in the same building – at the general meeting one table showed them what they were deciding on. Pajzsi signals: the shared property is covered.
Not because “everything gets cheaper everywhere” – we make no such promise. But because the decision becomes clear, the sums stay maintained, and the manager's job gets easier.

Several insurers offer condominium packages that differ in content, and the market moves year by year. No renewal is self-evident: what was a good buy five years ago may be a narrow cover or an unjustified burden today. My job as a broker is to collect the relevant insurers' quotes at the same time and put them side by side in a single comparison table – by content, not by brand: scope, sums, deductibles, limits, exclusions.
That way the building doesn't see a single insurer's offering, but competing quotes from several insurers – because the broker acts on the client's instructions, not the insurer's. That makes the decision a real decision, and one that can be defended at the general meeting.
The biggest risk in condominium insurance is typically not “being with the wrong insurer” – it's the sum insured falling behind reality. Construction costs have risen substantially in recent years; if the building's sum hasn't followed, a claim can trigger the rule of proportional settlement: the insurer may pay only part of the loss. That is not scaremongering but a product fact – with an orderly remedy: value maintenance and indexation at each renewal.
If you ask for a review, I also check whether the sums are up to date – so the building doesn't discover the gap when the damage is already done.
The manager's time is one of the building's scarcest resources. Gathering quotes, reading policy terms, answering owners' questions takes many hours – and at the end there's still the “why did we choose this one?” question to answer. This is where I take over the load:
One table the owners can actually read: what, why, with what content. The debate is about facts, not volume.
An annual routine: sum check, indexation decision, claims statistics – so the cover follows the building's real value.
Quote-hunting and organising is my job – the manager's is preparing the decision and representing the building.
Routine claims run fastest on the insurer's channels – but when a case stalls or is disputed, I help the building as its broker.
Because a serious premium can only follow a survey. A condominium premium depends on the building's structure, age, condition, floor area, the chosen scope of cover, the deductible and the claims history – the pricing-factors article walks through them. Anyone quoting a “good price” without a survey is either lucky or not being straight with you. I suggest the former path: a 20-minute conversation, a data list, and a table built on the building's real numbers.
Free of charge, no obligation – by the end you will see the options and the next step clearly.
