Seeking Advice on Public Adjuster for Property Damage Claim in ATL

[Jarreau Jackson]

Hope you're doing well! I'm currently dealing with severe property damage on a single-family fifixer-upper in the Atlanta metro area, and my insurance adjuster hinted at hiring a public adjuster.

I'm new to this and could use some guidance. Any tips on finding a reputable public adjuster in Atlanta? Also, what's the typical fee structure for single-family homes?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Jarreau,

A public Adjuster takes over the handling of the claim on your behalf.  Normally, they negotiate with the company and advise you on the loss.  They generally are compensated on a percentage of the final claim amount.  You may have some negotiating room on the percentage.  Generally, once you engage a Public Adjuster, your agent is out of the loop.  So if there is anything you want to discuss with your agent you may want to do that beforehand
