Immokalee Public Adjuster FAQs
Immokalee 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 wind damage claims in Immokalee?▶
Yes. Immokalee has taken hurricane-force gusts from both Irma (83 mph at the FAWN station in 2017) and Ian (81 mph in 2022), the kind of wind that damages roofs, mobile homes and outbuildings. Homeland documents the wind damage and handles the claim; call our local line 24/7 at (239) 414-3777.
Does Homeland handle hurricane and storm claims in Immokalee?▶
Yes. Hurricane, wind and storm claims are among the losses Homeland handles. Collier County can see significant wind damage and flooding during hurricanes and tropical storms, and we help Immokalee property owners and small business owners document that damage.
I need a really good public adjuster in Immokalee. 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 Immokalee.
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 Immokalee?▶
Yes. A licensed Homeland public adjuster comes to your property in Immokalee, and anywhere in Collier County, including Lehigh Acres and Fort Myers. Our office is in Miami Lakes (visits by appointment), but you don’t need to go there. Call (239) 414-3777, 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.
Can I see results from claims like mine?▶
Yes. Our results and reviews page shows published claim results by type of damage and area, with client reviews. Ask us on the first call about claims similar to yours.
