WHY DO PUBLIC ADJUSTERS EXIST?

"Public Adjusters exist because of the inherent conflict of interest that exists when one person or entity attempts to represent two sides of a financial transaction…Think about it.
How can a insurance company work on your behalf and there behalf at the same time?
When you have incurred damage to your home or business who shows up? Yes, a company adjuster comes out and gives you a estimate of damages and cuts you a check .
Remember the company adjuster works for and was trained by the insurance company and is PAID by the insurance company and his loyalties lie with the insurance company. How do you you know it is a fair price to complete your repairs back to pre-loss conditions.
What happens if they send out a claim killer engineer? Yes they work for and are paid for by the insurance company. In order to receive additional work from the insurance company the results very seldom come out in your favor.
You always need your own adjuster that is independent. Roofing general contractors, remodeling companies can give you pricing and guidance but in no way allowed to negotiate your claim in any way shape or form.The only people allowed to negotiate your claim is YOU the home or business owner, Public Adjuster or an attorney. Having your own adjuster on a large claim loss is essential.
