What We Do

Lee & Mason's programs are designed to minimize the time, effort and expense of monitoring borrower insurance while protecting lenders from uninsured exposure within their collateralized loan portfolios.

Our key consumer products include Blanket Lender's Single Interest (LSI/VSI), GAP coverage, and tracked lender-placed solutions. For residential and commercial lending, we offer online reporting for lender-placed Hazard and Flood coverage, outsourced insurance tracking services, blanket mortgage hazard and impairment insurance or forceclosed property solutions. We are also a leading Managing General Agency (MGA) to provide Insurance Agents Errors & Omissions coverage to agencies nationwide.

Lee & Mason has always operated as a full-service program administrator. We handle underwriting, quoting and binding, policy issuance, premium collection, and most importantly complete claims processing and reporting. Systems technology and data security are key factors in the risk management services we provide to our clients.
