What’s New In Point

Now Calyx Software and Safeco Insurance make hazard insurance easy for your clients — and for you.

Now you can send your client a hazard insurance quote in seconds

Calyx Software and Safeco® Insurance have joined forces to make Point better than ever. Now, you can generate a hazard insurance quote for your client using the Safeco Insurance Home Quote tool embedded in the Services tab of Point 6.1. There are no additional forms or questionnaires to fill out, and best of all, it takes less than 20 seconds. Whether you're in the Services menu or the Interfaces menu, you can easily provide your client with the quote they need, getting them one step closer to obtaining Evidence of Insurance, and a successful closing.

What can you do with the new hazard insurance tool:

Assist your client: Proactively provide your client with a hazard insurance quote and make it easy for them to purchase coverage online or over the phone at any time.

Save time: Your client’s information is automatically entered into the quote form, so there’s no lengthy questionnaire you have to fill out.

Easy to use: Since there’s no login required, generating a hazard quote is easier than pulling a credit report.

Meet your closing date: Help your client obtain Evidence of Insurance earlier, so it doesn’t delay your closing date.


You can access Safeco’s Home Quote tool in the Point program by clicking on Services > Hazard Insurance > Request Insurance Quote and selecting Safeco Insurance from the dropdown menu.
