Brian Roberts, founder of BR Public Adjuster, shared his insights with Buddy Broyles on the Caddo Convos podcast about the unique role public adjusters play in holding insurance companies accountable to policy agreements. Roberts transitioned from coaching high school sports to the insurance field and eventually became a public adjuster, driven by a desire to advocate for homeowners and sleep soundly knowing he’s helped clients navigate claims, especially in hail-prone areas like Prosper, Texas. His business thrives on word-of-mouth referrals, often collaborating with contractors to address claims insurance companies initially deny. Highlighting changes in Texas laws, he explained how recent regulations have restricted contractors’ involvement in negotiating claims, making public adjusters increasingly essential. With a focus on local work, Roberts also emphasized the value of his Caddo Office for balancing work and family life while providing a quiet space to serve clients effectively.
