Top of the YELP List of Best Public Adjusters Phoenix, January 17, 2023

AJR is genuinely honored to be still included at the top of the YELP list of Public Insurance Adjusters of Phoenix, Arizona.

Heading into our 10th year here in the Valley, we have represented many claims ranging from fire, wind, water, and theft.

We found that many people needed to learn about the industry when they began their claims with their insurance company.

As they continued with the claim, as the insurance company notified the insured that they would not be paying for specific items or not as much as the insured thought, we received a phone call at AJR.

The best time to hire a public adjuster is at the beginning of the process when the claim occurs, sometimes even before reporting the claim to the insurance company.

Public Adjusters can jump in and direct the claim correctly to ensure the maximum settlement is received.

Before your subsequent claim, look at some of our testimonials from clients we have assisted with our 30 + years of experience.

With your subsequent claim, give us a call; there is no charge to speak with us to determine if we can assist with your claim.

Like YELP says, call one of the best Public Adjusters in the Phoenix, Arizona area – AJR – 602-795-5227

About AJR Public Adjusters LLC

Bruce and Stacy relocated to Phoenix, AZ from Charleston, SC in 2013 to establish AJR Public Adjusters, LLC After a successful nine years in the Low Country of South Carolina, a decision was made to venture out west and re-establish the company with a new name that more closely describes the services provided.

Tips to follow after a disaster strikes your home or business

  1. Be aware of individuals visiting your home to offer services. Do not get taken advantage of by unscrupulous individuals. Yes, unfortunately, they are out there.
  2. Gather together your insurance papers and mortgage information.
  3. Call a Public Adjuster first, even before reporting the claim.
  4. Make sure to choose a licensed Public Adjuster in your state. Review their testimonials, and ask if you can speak with references.
  5. Confirm the person you are meeting with will indeed be the person at the firm who will be handling your case.
  6. Make sure you understand the responsibilities the Public Adjuster will take care of on your behalf.

When you hire AJR:

  1. The Public Adjuster will bring experts to come in and provide an estimate for the damages.
  2. The Public Adjuster will take a complete/thorough inventory of all personal property items damaged in the loss.
  3. Once inventory is created, items will be priced to present to the insurance company for a full recovery.
  4. The Public Adjuster will utilize the estimate to negotiate with your insurance company for a maximum settlement.

With your insurance property claim, AJR welcomes the opportunity to speak with you to explain further how we can relieve your stress and handle your claim to your satisfaction.

You’ve suffered a property insurance loss, do you know what your insurance policy really covers?

Homeowners purchase home insurance to protect their homes and personal property.  

After an insurance loss is not the time, you want to learn that it will not cover everything you have lost in your claim.

The article attached here explains a little further and discusses some common misunderstandings regarding insurance

https://www.nuco.com/fcs/2021/09/13/understanding-insurance-and-why-it-doesnt-cover-everything/?cmp_share

TakeAways

  1. Insurance is a for-profit industry providing services to those who buy a policy.
  2. Insurance does not pay for maintenance issues.
  3. Insureds sometimes look at cost and don’t look at coverage.
  4. Some agents take the easy way out and tell insureds they are covered for most catastrophic losses without providing details.
  5. Insureds may not understand that their policy is not a replacement cost policy and only covers actual cash value. — this comes into play when settlement is determined.  

This confusion reiterates the need for a licensed Public Adjuster to represent your interests from start to finish with your claim.

We are your A+ rated Better Business Bureau Public Insurance Adjuster here in Phoenix, Arizona, representing clients all over State 48.

How to request a copy of your insurance policy

After a claim occurs, one of the first questions we ask policyholders is, “Do you have a full copy of your insurance policy?”

The reason for this question is this is “the Bible,” letting us know as your potential representative, what coverages you have in your policy that will enable us to assist you with your claim.

There are clauses and information that mean something to AJR, with our 32 + year experience. Knowing where to look in the policy for additional coverages is the benefit of hiring an experienced public adjuster to represent you with your insurance claim.

This policy was probably given to you when you first signed up with the insurance company. Over the years, the insurance company may have only sent renewal letters and not the complete policy again.

A sample letter adapted from a United Policyholders template shows how to request your insurance carrier this policy that is needed to negotiate your claim for you. 

Sample Letter Requesting Complete Copy of Homeowners Policy

NOTE: This letter is a sample that must be customized to fit the facts of your individual situation and claim. All bracketed and underlined portions must be completed or revised before sending. Use this letter to request a complete copy of your homeowners’ policy from your insurance company.

Lower percentage is not always better

Many times prospective clients question our commission charge.

Insureds wonder if they can lower the percentage will they make out better.  We wanted to demonstrate that this may not always be the case.

As they say, you get what you pay for.

See example of a typical claim below and notice the difference to the policyholder when paying a higher percentage fee:

 

Company A                     

Initial Claim Offering                     $50,000

Final Claim Result.                          $60,000

8% fee to Public Adjuster:             $  4,800

Claim Settlement to Insured:    $55,200

 

AJR PUBLIC ADJUSTERS

Initial Claim Offering:                    $50,000

Final Claim:                                      $75,000

15% Fee:                                            $11,250

Claim Settlement to Insured:    $63,750

 

Clearly you can see how AJR Public Adjusters assistance, perhaps at a higher fee still nets the insured a better settlement.  This policyholder increased their settlement by $8,550 even when paying a higher percentage for our services.

By giving AJR the opportunity to utilize our 30+ years experience to manage and negotiate your claim, you can rest assured you will do better in the settlement process of your claim.

Please view our Better Business Bureau A+ rating here.  This may provide helpful information for you to see how AJR should be your first call with your next property insurance claim.

Call AJR first, we even help report the claim and can take over the stress of managing your claim from there.  We can be reached at 602-795-5227, email here.
