Fire at one of my last rental

Now, by you mentioning your related field experience to them, which should be a good thing, even if only subliminally, do you feel that you have gained an insiders favoritism, sort of like how a police officer usually will not write up a fellow officer, even if they are from a different local force?

I too, would use every tool I have available to me, to get the quickest and most favorable adjustment as expeditiously as possible. But, a typical home owner does not have that insider courtesy awaiting them, nor do most roofing and other remediation contractors.

Of course I want to have a hassle free process. This is one of the reasons I feel it so important to keep this going . If I can depart anymore info that is misunderstood the better off everyone is. I thought it was honest to tell everyone in the process .There the chance to perform at an optimum. I don't know what the end result is going to be. I know how the process works. Another thing I did and will continue to do is let everyone in the process that deserve it " Kudos's " both verbal and in writing to each and everyone who can make a difference for me and them. I have already written an email to the first adjuster ( inside ) to let them know that I greatly appreciated their professional and personnel way they handled the claim and me .>>>

I'm in anticipation for my noon appointment with the property adjusters. Here's hoping. I'm using this for a teaching tool not only here also with my son who is an outside adjuster with State Farm . They use exactly the same estimating software that Citizens ..Xactimate.>>>

Ok , now that went very smoothly. The adjuster husband and wife team. They called me to tell me they were going to be approximately half to forty five minutes late due to unexpected time on first claim. Called me fifteen minutes before reaching the property. Very professional and courteous. Spent approximately One hour and half looking over project. Next step , they turn in the claim and the adjustment is made. So far very satisfied with the service. I pointed out some items and they pointed out some to me. All and all I wish I had someone like this team working for me back in the day. The process is working the way it should up to this point with cool heads and courtesy>>>

Ok, This morning I have an appointment with the fire investigator with the insurance company, The fire is suspicious in how it started . I was told by my adjusters I would be hearing from the insurance company .>>>

That was interesting. We went over the site the police reports the investigation . Nice camera. This has been a very interesting experience so far. When I was there I got a call from my storm boss . I'll be heading up to Nashville to pick up the RV and going to Burlington WI for a couple of days. Then to Barrington for a few more back to Nashville. I have another road trip to California mid April and back to Baton Rouge by the end of April or first of May. Back to my rental. Everything has been going like the process was meant to work. I should be hearing from the property side soon.>>>

Because this is a rental I will be collecting lost rents while the project is in progress. Also as stated in other posts I'm keeping every receipt and keeping track of my time cleaning up the place. The next step in progress is having a contractor estimated the project and turn it into the insurance company. The Siclan are on the phone now wanting to know about the fire story. If only I could post it on here ! First question " Hey do you want me to take careof him ? " Whoa you just can't keep a secret from them guys and they are in Italy.>>>

Just had the recorded statement from the inside adjuster . These guys are very professional and informed me of what the process was , ( even though I already know )The bank will receive funds to disperse while the construction is taking place. A structural engineer will be out to look at the structural damage . This is moving along quite smoothly. I figure I I'll start work in about a month. So far other than being a little nervous about the actual working I am quite happy how this is going. I have been handled very professionally and courteously. I'm proud to be part of this industry. I believe a lot of the disconnect , dissatisfaction mumbling etc biatchin is pride and ignorance most of that can be fixed with education.>>>

How's the arson investigation going?

Well as of Friday there was an arrest and a $50,000 bail set. After further police investigations a $250,0000.00 bail was set and a 1st degree Felony Arson charge. Other than that nothing much. Thanks for asking Jet.>>>

Yeah, I was up in Burlington WI when THE LOVELY MRS CIAK called me and gave me the good news. When your away I worry about the LOVELY MRS CIAK no matter she has a weapon and is well trained in it's use. Thanks for the concern JED . Jed I'm in Baton Rouge a number of times during the year, I may stop by and say hey sometime.>>>

I hope it was a random act.>>>
