In our more than 45 collective years in the news business, Craig and I never dreamed we would be reporting our own disaster, but the Eastbay Firestorm changed more than our dreams. You are very skillful, Randy; not only because of your encyclopedic knowledge about insurance matters, but also because of your personal sensitivity. Had we been negotiating for ourselves during these two years since the fire, we might have thrown our hands up in total despair, but you stayed at the table and eventually convinced State Farm to do what was fair and just.
My home and all of its contents was either entirely destroyed or damaged beyond repair by the fire…To lose everything is, I think, by any reasonable measure, a deeply traumatic and incredibly stressful event. One is immediately made homeless, stripped of all measure of comfort and placed into what can only be described as extreme financial and emotional uncertainty…Having one’s day-to-day existence, as well as one’s future, thrust into the hands of a major corporation – insurance companies wield enormous control over the claims process – also is extremely stressful…I actually had never heard the term ‘public adjuster’ until I experienced the fire that destroyed my home…The workload, negotiations, process and technical requirements required by insurance companies in order for a homeowner to recoup a loss of this magnitude is nothing short of overwhelming. The average homeowner has neither the professional expertise nor training to work effectively on his/her own behalf to ensure he or she receives the full claim amount due under terms of the insurance policy…I can say with 100% confidence and knowledge that due to Jessica’s professional ability, intellectual capability and tenacity on my behalf, I received insurance reimbursement far beyond what I would have been able to achieve on my own…She was one of the most customer-focused service providers I have ever met…Every email or phone call I made to her was answered promptly. She also was incredibly patient, kind, and considerate to me on a personal level, offering emotional support for an event that was without a doubt one of the most difficult I have ever faced in my life. She was also an aggressive yet entirely ethical advocate on my behalf…As difficult as this process was, there is no doubt in my mind that the process would have lasted much longer and I would have endured much greater personal and financial hardship had I not had Jessica as my advocate. Jessica Bivens literally helped me reestablish my life.
The loss of our home was a devastating experience, financially and emotionally. It did not take us long to realize that we did not have the time and energy to begin rebuilding our lives, deal with the insurance company and their requirements, and still continue to work at our jobs and lead a life that had some pleasure in it. Furthermore, we also realized that we did not have the experience to formulate the inventory list, establish the value of the home we lost and maximize our insurance benefits. It was very obvious that this would be the largest financial transaction of our lives. From our initial contact with The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International to our final dealings last week we have had the pleasure of dealing with consummate professionals…The entire staff was always responsive to our needs and the results are far more wonderful than we had even dreamed. If we had not dealt with The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, we are certain that we would have settled for a great deal less and the consequence would have been that the rest of our lives would have been compromised.
You were there for me when I needed you...emotionally and professionally. You took the time to explain those things that needed explaining and you had the expertise to get the job done...quickly, efficiently and graciously. Your expertise resulted in a 100% increase in my settlement. The peace of mind you gave me as I observed your professionalism and competence in preparing the necessary information needed to resolve my claim had a calming effect and allowed me to go about my business without concern.
I must admit at first I was little doubtful that hiring The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International would help my situation with Farmers. Now that...you have fought on my behalf every inch of the way, I don't believe I could have done it without you...Your patience, understanding and professionalism was truly appreciated.
Not only were you thorough and knowledgeable about the asset listing and the prices, but you were kind, patient, and understanding…I particularly want to point out that you seem to know when Kathy was getting exhausted by the process and called a ‘break’ at that point. Your timing was excellent, and it enabled Kathy to get through a very emotional process without collapsing. I am impressed and amazed at your tenacity and your understanding.
You were right; I should have hired your firm immediately after my fire loss…Jody spent a great deal of time in detailing to the Nth degree all of the personal property items that were in my home. Through her efforts and your excellent negotiating skills with the Farmers adjuster, Sharon Sims, The Greenspan Co. / Adjusters international ended up securing an additional $121,000 on top of the $48,000 that Farmers Insurance had originally measured my personal property loss to be.
We cannot thank The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International enough for the time and effort they put into our claim. We would recommend their services without hesitation.
