Let\\u2019s say you own an apartment building and there\\u2019s a fire that destroys one of the units. Or maybe a tornado rips through your community and demolishes an entire building. What if there\\u2019s an earthquake and your entire property falls into a crevasse?

Extreme examples, I know. And isn\\u2019t insurance supposed to cover those costs anyway?

Yes, but that\\u2019s when your problems really begin. Working with an insurance company to cover the costs they\\u2019re supposed to can be a tricky business. That\\u2019s why you might consider hiring an insurance adjuster who can get you through the process smoothly.

Jack Hanks was awarded \\u201cPublic Adjustor of the Year\\u201d for 2022, so he\\u2019s the perfect person to fill us in on what an adjuster is, why they\\u2019re necessary, and how you can benefit from their services.

We\\u2019re also going to discuss the mistakes Jack sees owners making when choosing their insurance, the difference between actual cash value and replacement value insurance, and why we all need to check our insurance policies now to make sure we have proper coverage.

I know you\\u2019re going to get a lot of great advice from this episode. You can contact Jack via email or his website:
