The prompt

Explain how a condo unit-owner policy works alongside the HOA master policy (walls-in coverage, loss assessment, personal property), and suggest the owner review their HOA documents. Under 200 words.

Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)

Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (the type of policy, who the explanation is for, and whether you want an email, handout or script). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team.

Task: Explain how a condo unit-owner policy works alongside the HOA master policy (walls-in coverage, loss assessment, personal property), and suggest the owner review their HOA documents. Under 200 words.

What a good result looks like

A good explanation shows how the two policies fit together: the HOA master policy generally covers common areas and some of the building, while the unit-owner policy covers what the association doesn't, often including interior finishes, belongings, liability and loss assessments. It ends by asking the owner to check their HOA documents.

Common mistakes and watch-outs

Master policies differ a lot ('bare walls' versus 'all-in'), so don't state what the HOA covers without reading the documents. Explain loss assessment carefully, and don't guess at limits. Avoid quoting a price.

How to adapt the prompt

Ask for a version for a first-time condo buyer before closing, or a short checklist of what to look for in the HOA's insurance summary. Add a section on water damage from a neighbor's unit if clients ask about it often.

EXAMPLE output (placeholder data, not a real client)

Condo insurance and your HOA's master policy

Your HOA's master policy generally covers shared areas and parts of the building. Your unit-owner policy can cover:
- Your belongings
- Interior items the HOA doesn't cover (often floors, cabinets, fixtures)
- Your liability if someone is hurt in your unit
- Loss assessments the HOA may charge owners after a covered loss

What the HOA covers depends on its documents. Send us your HOA's insurance summary and we'll help you match your coverage. [Agent Name], [Phone]
