Bass Underwriters

Bass Underwriters is a managing general agent and wholesale insurance broker founded in 1995. It works nationwide through independent retail agents rather than selling direct, and its office is at 6951 W Sunrise Boulevard, Plantation, Florida.

Commercial and brokerage lines cover property, casualty, excess general liability, workers' compensation, commercial condominiums, vacant buildings and land, and real estate risks including habitational and lessors risk. Professional liability covers allied health programs, architects, and engineers, and specialized industry classes include artisan, construction, and janitorial contractors and restaurants, bars, and nightclubs.

Excess and surplus specialty lines run through access to over 200 markets. Personal lines are underwritten in-house and brokered: high-value homes, HO3, HO5, HO6, and HO8 homeowners forms, DP1 and DP3 dwelling forms, condos, vacant property, personal liability and umbrella, personal article floaters, and enhanced coverage options such as increased loss assessment, law and ordinance, off-premises theft buyback, and water backup and mold. Catastrophe capabilities named on the site include Florida wind capacity and specialized California earthquake coverage, plus wind deductible buyback and private flood, primary and excess.

The firm reports more than 300 carrier appointments, 17 or more locations, and writing capability in 39 states plus the District of Columbia. Agents reach it on 954.473.4488 or through a branch office. Because Bass is a wholesaler, property owners cannot buy from it directly; the quote has to come through their own retail agent.
