I think a lot of folks on here are influenced by the Rich Dad Poor Dad philosophy.

The mainstream media influences people for sure , so if more and more media comes out saying the housing market is bad or about to crash that's going to influence things.Here is one Wall Street Journal just put out 4 hours ago , also many people just read the headlines. 

I would, however, recommend start reading, "How to win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

I know for myself, your posts and insights have tremendously influenced my REI strategy.  

It may not show direct conversions but I can assure you it helps influence travelers to book with you!

The 200 or so homes in the area nearest the Parkway (commercial/downtown area) is something we can have an influence in.

Glad to see a few people who said that REI did in fact influence their decision to move (or stay) somewhere.

Evan I will not invest in a sponsor that I see either on instagram in the shiny new home, fancy cars etc. or acts as an influencer with all these training programs.

Reasons for claims to be denied include fraud, misinformation, not adhering to the contract conditions (such as securing vacant properties, protecting properties from further damage after a loss, reporting a loss in a timely manner…)So, your usage of the word reasonable in relation to your specific claim is difficult to address without sharing all of the relevant details, but again you can refer to the carrier’s denial, dated May 1, 2014 for the valid and factual reasons your loss was denied.As for us “getting carrier to pay reasonable claims”, we’ve indicated numerous times here, we are the agency, and have no ability to influence a carrier’s decision, as the facts uncovered by their investigation of each claim, stand on their own merit.
