Clermont Specialty Managers was organized in 1986 as the Habitational Insurance Division of Firemen’s Insurance Company of Washington, D.C. to provide package policies for upscale condominiums and cooperative apartment buildings in New York City.
On February 1st, 2018 Clermont Specialty Managers rebranded their name to Berkley Luxury Group with two divisions; Berkley Luxury Real Estate Specialists and Berkley Fine Dining Specialists. The rebrand is the most visible component of the company’s state by state U.S. rollout. The new name is designed to clearly identify the company as an operating unit of Berkley, one of America’s largest commercial lines writers, and what Berkley Luxury Group offers: tailored, all-inclusive solutions for luxury condo, co-op and rental properties along with fine dining restaurants.
