The problem is that you can explain all you want to the homeowner (which we do in letters and e-mails and incoming customer phone calls) until you are blue in the face, the majority of them don’t listen to you ,why ? cause they are conditioned by all the dam attorney commercials and third party adjusters companies ,telling you how much additional money they can get you (which is usually a crock anyway) and good old fashioned greed sets in ..That is how they hook you !! They should run some commercials showing what really happens to your home after one of these companies rips through your house and the insurance company refuses to pay for the additional problems that were created ,and your home is now uninhabitable ,uninsurable ,while you await your date in court … Just like Farmers Insurance commercial “been there seen that” I’ve seen it happen twice !!
