California E&S Insurance

Final update: We closed on Friday.  In retrospect, I think the combination it skittish buyers (likely first-timers) and our barely mediocre agent probably meant the first sale fell through when it could have worked out.  It's fine--we got the same price and were back in escrow in about 3 days.  And the second buyers (who made it to close) did have some insurance complications, but nothing drastic.  We had to do about $900 in repairs.  Okay, cool.  And we made it contingent on the removal of all contingencies, so basically, we didn't pay them back for them until they were done and their deposit was locked in.  They said that was required by the insurer (Lemonade).  I'm not convinced that was true, but for >$1000, I didn't care if it was. So the terror from the first time (fed by our not-great agent), was perhaps overblown.
