Condo insurance Greenville SC and across South Carolina

Condo Insurance Overview

Protect your unit and everything in it
Your HOA’s master policy covers the building and shared spaces—but not your finishes, built-ins, or personal belongings. The Sullivan Agency helps condo and townhome owners in Greenville, Greer, Anderson, and Spartanburg tailor HO-6 condo insurance to match their association rules, from downtown Greenville high-rises to newer developments off Woodruff Road. We’ll review your docs and explain what’s yours, what’s the HOA’s, and how to close the gaps—so flooring, cabinetry, and personal property aren’t left to chance.

Loss assessment

Helps pay your share if the HOA assesses unit owners after a covered loss to common areas.

 If your building sits near creeks that feed the Reedy River or in lower-lying parts of Greenville County, we’ll also discuss separate flood insurance to address rising water—something an HO-6 and the master policy won’t cover.

 HOA Requirements & Proof

Compliant coverage without the runaround

Many lenders and associations require specific limits or endorsements for condo insurance in South Carolina. The Sullivan Agency coordinates certificates of insurance, mortgagee clauses, and any special wording your HOA requests—so closings don’t stall and renewals stay stress-free. We’ll confirm whether the master policy is “all-in” or “walls-out,” then right-size your HO-6 to avoid both gaps and overlaps.

Cost, Savings & Extra Protection

Keep premiums reasonable and coverage strong

Condo insurance is typically more affordable than a full homeowners policy because it covers less structure. We’ll look for alarm credits, claim-free discounts, and multi-policy savings. If you host often, travel frequently, or have higher asset exposure, consider personal umbrella insurance for an extra layer of liability above your condo limits. Planning to buy a house later? We’ll explain how homeowners insurance differs and make the transition simple with the same local team at The Sullivan Agency.

Real-Life Scenarios

Where the right HO-6 really matters

A burst pipe damages engineered wood floors and custom built-ins. A kitchen fire fills your unit with smoke. A guest slips on wet tile in your entry. These common moments show why tailored limits, the right endorsements, and a coordinated master-policy review matter—especially in multi-story buildings downtown or townhomes off Pelham and Woodruff.

 Answers South Carolina homeowners ask most

  • What does the HOA master policy cover vs. my HO-6?

    The master policy insures the structure and common areas. Your HO-6 covers your unit’s interior finishes and personal property, plus your personal liability. We’ll read your HOA documents and align your policy accordingly.

  • Do I need flood coverage for my condo?

    Flood (rising water) is excluded by both the master policy and HO-6. If you’re near creeks, lakes, or in low-lying areas of the Upstate, ask about flood insurance for building improvements inside your unit and your contents.

  • Is loss assessment really necessary?

    Yes—large claims (like roof or elevator damage) can trigger HOA assessments to unit owners. Loss assessment coverage helps pay your portion, subject to policy terms.

  • How much condo insurance do lenders require?

    Requirements vary. We’ll coordinate with your lender and HOA to provide proof of insurance that meets their specific limits and endorsements.

  • Should I raise my liability limits?

    If you host guests, own significant assets, or want broader protection, consider personal umbrella insurance to extend coverage beyond your HO-6 limits.

  • What if I’m moving from a condo to a house?

    We’ll help you transition to homeowners insurance and align coverages (including valuables and liability) so nothing gets missed at closing.
