McGriff

McGriff is a commercial insurance broker and risk adviser with roots dating back to 1886. It places business insurance, employee benefits and personal lines, and is now part of Marsh McLennan Agency.

Its specialty practices are organised by industry, and Real Estate & Hospitality is one of them, alongside transportation, aviation and aerospace, government contracting, public entity and education, and recreational and specialty vehicles. Business insurance lines include commercial auto and fleet, bonding and surety, cyber, environmental, flood, executive and professional risk, and workers' compensation.

Beyond placement the firm runs risk control consulting, claim consulting, actuarial and underwriting work, and benefits administration technology. Its surety group works with more than 30 active surety markets plus access to nearly every standard bonding company, and more than 300 organisations use one of its captive or alternative risk transfer structures, including employee benefits captives.

The site describes Marsh McLennan Agency as having nearly $5 billion in annual revenue and 15,000 teammates across 300 offices in the United States. Cover is placed on a commission or fee basis; ask which McGriff team would service a real estate account and how the broker is paid on it.
