About

Global Risk Partners is Now a Member of The Liberty Company Network of Insurance Brokers

The Liberty Company Insurance Brokers (Liberty) is pleased to announce its new partnership with Global Risk Partners, a respected P&C firm with a long-standing focus on the Real Estate and Hospitality industries.

Led by Agency Principal Guy Riska, who will join Liberty as Partner and Director of Hospitality and Habitational Programs, Global Risk Partners brings nearly 37 years of experience serving owners, operators, and investors with solutions tailored to the unique needs of both sectors. The agency has built its reputation on strong carrier relationships, a disciplined approach to risk, and a commitment to high-touch client service.

Reflecting on the decision to partner with Liberty, Riska noted that the pace of change in the industry created an important moment for evolution.

“As a first-generation agency owner, independence has always been a core part of our identity. We’ve had the carriers, the client base, and the team to succeed, but the industry is shifting fast. Talent is harder to secure and technology is advancing quickly, and those realities can’t be ignored. After exploring several options, Liberty emerged as the right fit. Their depth of resources aligns with how we want to support our clients, and their culture mirrors the values that have guided our agency from the beginning. Combining their platform with our expertise in real estate and hospitality opens the door to new opportunities for our clients and our team.”

Our Journey Through Excellence

Global Risk Partners is a full service Property/Casualty Insurance Agency specializing in the Hospitality, Real Estate and Senior Living Industries.

With offices located in resort areas throughout the coastal US, our agents can conveniently serve all of your needs.

While our roots were founded in Commercial Lines P&C, our family of affiliates now offer Personal Lines Coverage as well as Life, Health and Annuities. We also provide consulting services for those who are in love with their current agent but still want another set of eyes to review their coverage for added peace of mind.

Our Insurance Carriers, Programs and Private Risk Purchasing Groups help us maintain a unique and dominant presence in the marketplace. Unlike many agencies that are limited in resources and tied to a region we extend our underwriting borders nationally. Our commitment to product research enables us to provide our clients with an array of choices providing stability in both soft and hard markets. We are constantly researching new programs and markets to stay ahead of the competition.

Our Mission

“To be completely independent in our thinking and market representation by providing our clients with the best possible combination of price and coverage for their property and casualty needs”

Helpful Links & Resources

Floods and flash floods happen in all 50 states.Everyone lives in a flood zone. (For more information, visit the Frequently Asked Questions about Flood Zones)

Homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage.

If you live in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) or high risk area, your mortgage lender requires you to have flood insurance. (To find out if you’re in an SFHA, visit What’s Your Flood Risk?)

Just an inch of water can cause costly damage to your property.

Flash floods often bring walls of water 10 to 20 feet high.A car can easily be carried away by just two feet of floodwater.

Hurricanes, winter storms and snow melt are common (but often overlooked) causes of flooding.

New land development can increase flood risk, especially if the construction changes natural runoff paths.

Federal disaster assistance is usually a loan that must be paid back with interest. For a $50,000 loan at 4% interest, your monthly payment would be around $240 a month ($2,880 a year) for 30 years. Compare that to a $100,000 flood insurance premium, which is about $400 a year ($33 a month).

It takes 30 days after purchase for a policy to take effect, so it’s important to buy insurance before the floodwaters start to rise.

All claims and expenses of the NFIP program are funded by insurance premiums, not tax dollars.(Source: www.floodsmart.gov, an official site of the National Flood insurance Program. Visit their web site to learn more)
