What to look for when choosing a Public Insurance Adjuster:
When property damage happens, whether from a hurricane, plumbing leak, fire, or roof issue, the insurance claim process can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly when hiring a public insurance adjuster can make all the difference.
A public adjuster works for you, not the insurance company, to make sure your claim is handled fairly and you get the full settlement you deserve. But not all adjusters are created equal. Choosing the right one can directly impact how smoothly your claim goes, and the amount you recover.
Here’s what to look for when choosing a public adjuster in Florida:
1. Verify They Are Licensed And Legitimate
In Florida, all public adjusters must be licensed by the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS). Always verify their license number before signing a contract.
A legitimate adjuster will gladly provide you with proof of licensing and explain your rights as a policyholder. If someone avoids your question or pressures you to sign paperwork right away, that’s a big red flag.
✅ Pro Tip: It’s important that they belong to a professional trade association like Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (FAPIA) (https://www.fapia.net/). You can verify a public adjuster’s license directly on the FAPIA website (https://www.fapia.net/verify-licensees.html).
2. Look For Experience With Your Type Of Claim
Experience matters. Every claim is different whether you have hurricane damage, a fire loss, or water damage, all require different documentation and negotiation strategies.
Choose a public adjuster who specializes in your type of property damage and who has successfully handled claims like yours. Ask how long they have been in business and how many claims they have settled in South Florida.

As a public adjuster handling property damage insurance claims claims, it’s not safe for me to get on a client’s roof in bad weather. ⛈️
This week on my way to the West Coast of Florida to handle an appraisal inspection, which included roof damage from Hurricane Milton, this happened.
After so many hours driving, all I could think of was please please please, let the rain stop so we can get on the roof, conduct our inspection, and settle our clients claim.
Thankfully the sun came out just in time for me to get on the roof with the opposing appraiser for the insurance company.
Rain or shine, our clients always come first and YES I do get on roofs!

I am not an engineer. I am not an architect. I do not remove mold. I’m not a contractor or roofer.
As a Public Insurance Adjuster, I do wear many hats while handling property damage insurance claims. I cannot give advice on what I mentioned above!
I can advise you about your insurance claim and property damage, inspect damage to your roof and property, take copious notes and photos, prepare detailed damage repair estimates, suggest the use of experts when needed, prepare all required documentation for your claim, meet with your insurance company, contact your insurance company, and negotiate the settlement of your claim. The list can go on and on.
I always put my client’s interests first. and stay in my lane, work hard, and I am great at what I do!

Yes multi-tasking at its finest and you don’t want to miss out!!!
As a p***c adjuster and business owner, thankfully I am organized and great at multi-tasking.
The detail that goes into documenting property damage is extensive.
From photographs, copious notes, preparing damage repair estimates, and inspections, I get pulled in multiple directions at once, and thankfully I can pick up right where I left off.
This provides our clients with the personal attention they deserve whether it’s a commercial or residential insurance claim.
Being a strong public adjuster advocate for our clients is a must!
We are in hurricane season and having a super hot summer, so you never know when damage can occur and when you will need our help.

Is being a public adjuster always glamorous?
No, but I wouldn’t change how much I love to help people every day!
✅ Some days I need to get on a client’s roof.
✅ Other days I walk through Fire and Water damaged properties with no power.
✅ Then there are days I am in the office.
No matter which day it is, the details and proper documentation of property damage is key in obtaining the claim settlement my clients deserve.
Yes I get dirty and sweaty, and my days can be long and stressful, but I love helping people, so I can always shower it off at the end of the day 😂
