343. What’s a Public Adjuster? Why Knowing One Might Save Your Vacation Rental
Today’s expert guest is Gwynne Beatty, a specialist in property damage claims, water restoration, mold remediation, maximizing your claim, and managing the repair process for residential and commercial properties. She's here to pull back the curtain on the claims process and give you the knowledge and tools you need if (and when) you find yourself with property damage.
She’s a public adjuster (don’t worry, we learn all about what that means) and has tons of secrets to share today as she answers critically misunderstood questions like… Should your insurance agent make your claim? What words should you use, and avoid, when inquiring about damage? Who gets paid – when, why, and how much?
Insurance may seem like a dry topic, but you will be blown away by what you learn from this conversation. Gwynne is truly the kind of collaborator, professionally and personally, you want to have in your corner when the time comes to lace up your gloves vs. an insurance giant.
