Hi, I’m Gerald👋
Your new full-service Xactimate estimator at your service!
If you’re here, it means you understand the value of your property.
However, most insurance companies tend to miss the mark when it comes to giving their insured what they deserve.
They often start with a complicated policy, pressuring you to sign up on their website, bombarding you with emails, and revising them without you ever finding out.
Policy updates often end up in spam, leaving you misinformed and with out-of-pocket expenses.
The truth is, insurance companies aren’t always looking out for you. However, understanding these six key factors can make all the difference:
- Policy Coverage: Know exactly what your policy covers and what it doesn’t.
- Documentation: Keep thorough records of all communications, damages, and expenses.
- Timing: Act promptly to file your claim and respond to any requests from the insurance company.
- Evidence: Gather strong evidence to support your claim, including photos, videos, and witness statements.
- Negotiation: Be prepared to negotiate with the insurance company to ensure fair compensation.
- Expert Assistance: Consider hiring a skilled public adjuster to advocate for your rights and maximize your claim.
Initially, it may seem like a lot, but these are the foundations of a successful claim handling strategy. The good news is that I can help you with all of this.
While most Xactimate estimators achieve a 30–40% success rate for higher claim settlements, I aim to do better. Just as you refuse to settle for average, so do I.
