Norwell-based radius financial group inc. has begun offering property and casualty insurance, including homeowners, renters, auto and umbrella policy lines, to Massachusetts customers.

"Offering property and casualty insurance is a natural complement to our residential mortgage business," Keith Polaksi, radius principal and COO, said in a statement. "We’re committed to constant innovation in our industry and by streamlining the homeownership process, our clients and referral partners will delight in smoother closings."

radius is one of the few licensed mortgage banking entities approved to offer insurance by the state of Massachusetts. Presently, radius is only licensed to carry insurance in the Bay State, but the company is working toward licensure in other states.
