11/26/2018 Would you sell your home without a real estate agent? Just like a real estate agent, a public adjuster guides you through an unfamiliar and complex industry. While real estate agents guide you through a property transfer, a public adjuster guides you through an insurance claim.

Most insurance policyholders are not insurance experts. However, when your home is damaged in a serious incident – like a natural disaster – you might be preparing to receive a valuable settlement offer from your insurance company.

Unfortunately, many insurance companies take advantage of their policyholders. They might offer a settlement that’s ridiculously low, for example. Or, they could refuse to cover certain things based on “fine print” in your insurance contract.

Public adjusters help you avoid all of these pitfalls. A public adjuster handles your claim from beginning to end. The adjuster will organize details of your claim, pore over your policy, then analyze how much money your insurance company owes you.

At the end of the process, a good public adjuster can alleviate much of the burden and help you obtain a fair settlement that is far greater than what was initially offered by the insurance company.
