-The workflow shown above begins by entering basic property details and continues through collecting additional information about the building, coverage options, and flood zone determinations. At the "NFIP Rates" step, highlighted in green, agents can generate a '''preliminary quote''' based on the details provided. This allows the agent to review potential costs before signing the  application and collecting premium.
