Is having a long relationship with the same insurance company for master condo coverage a risky business? How often should our community seek other offers?

I assume the policy was written for a specific period of time. If so, then inform them you are going to request bids from other companies using their policy as the guideline. I expect they will say we "might" could do better.
All is fair in love, war, and business.

I would quote it out every 3 years and sometimes change companies. Only way to keep the rate in check.

It's nice to have a long relationship.
However, it's best to always shop around. Shopping around doesn't mean that you have to change companies if you get a lower bid, it simply lets you know what the current market price is.
When we last bid our trash contract, we liked the provider we had but were able to get a much better price ($10,000 less per year) from the same company simply because we solicited bids.
