Boca Raton Public Adjuster FAQs
Boca Raton property owners often have questions about when to involve a public adjuster, what happens after damage is discovered, and how representation fits into an insurance claim. Here are answers to common questions. Contact us for a free claim review.
Does Homeland handle storm surge and tornado claims in Boca Raton?▶
Yes. Irma pushed water about 3 feet up the Intracoastal in Boca Raton, and Ian’s bands produced an EF-2 tornado in Palm Beach County. Homeland documents flood, wind and tornado damage and handles the claim with your insurer; call our local line 24/7 at (561) 473-3777.
Does Homeland handle hurricane and storm claims in Boca Raton?▶
Yes. Hurricane, wind and storm claims are among the losses Homeland handles. Palm Beach County is within Florida’s hurricane-prone coastal region, and we help Boca Raton property owners document damage from hurricanes, tropical storms, storm surge and heavy rain.
I need a really good public adjuster in Boca Raton. How do I pick one?▶
Judge every firm the same way: an active license you can look up on the Florida DFS licensee search, a named adjuster on your file, the fee in writing before you sign, and real results and reviews. Homeland: named licensed adjusters, firm license W818638, serving Florida property owners since 2006, English and Spanish, and a licensed adjuster at your property in Boca Raton.
Who is actually going to handle my case?▶
A licensed Homeland public adjuster, named to you on the first call. Our team: Yeni Martinez, President (Florida public adjuster license P103370), Alberto Enriquez (P112658), Yisel Dieguez (W873884) and Nelson Avila (Florida public adjuster license G332385 · Florida Certified Contractor CRC1331322 · property insurance appraiser and umpire). Each license is linked under Verify Homeland.
What percentage do you charge?▶
Florida law caps what any public adjuster can charge (Florida fee limits). Homeland explains its fee in your written agreement before you sign, so you know it up front. No recovery, no fee. And after you sign, you can still cancel within the period Florida law gives you (your cancellation rights).
Can you get me more money from my insurance?▶
We document every dollar your policy owes and negotiate for the full amount. What we do: inspect and document all the damage, write a line-item estimate, compare it with the insurer’s, and negotiate the claim for you, start to finish. See our published results.
Is there a public adjuster near me in Boca Raton?▶
Yes. A licensed Homeland public adjuster comes to your property in Boca Raton, and anywhere in Palm Beach County, including Delray Beach and Pompano Beach. Our office is in Miami Lakes (visits by appointment), but you don’t need to go there. Call (561) 473-3777, 24/7, in English or Spanish.
My insurance won’t pay. Who do I call?▶
A licensed public adjuster can still help, and underpaid, denied and closed claims are a big part of what we do. We review the insurer’s letter and estimate, inspect the damage and can reopen or supplement the claim within Florida’s deadlines. Read Claim denied? What to do next.
Water got into my house. Who can help?▶
If you safely can, stop the water and take photos and video before you clean up. Then call a licensed public adjuster. Homeland handles water damage claims in Boca Raton: burst pipes, AC leaks, roof leaks and flooding. We document the damage, check which policy applies and handle the claim for you. Call (561) 473-3777, 24/7.
My roof (or my AC) is leaking. Is that a claim?▶
It depends on the cause and on your policy, so don’t guess and don’t throw out damaged materials yet. Take photos and video, keep receipts for emergency repairs, and have a licensed public adjuster look at it. Homeland inspects the damage, reads your policy with you and tells you plainly whether it’s worth a claim. Call (561) 473-3777.
Someone told me about Homeland. Are they any good?▶
Don’t take our word for it; check us. Every Homeland license is listed under Verify Homeland: Florida firm license W818638, named licensed adjusters, BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, serving property owners since 2006.
