FIDUCIARY RESIDENTIAL ADVOCACY | MICHIGAN • OHIO • INDIANA
High-Value Homeowners Deserve Uncompromising Claims Representation.
When disaster strikes your primary residence, estate, or multi-family property, insurance carriers dispatch staff adjusters designed to minimize carrier payout. Sharp Indemnity Group provides independent, aggressive forensic policy audits and damage appraisals to recover every dollar owed under your contract.
The Structural Advantage
of Private Claims Representation
Insurance carrier adjusters work for the insurer. Sharp Indemnity Group works exclusively for you.
When significant damage occurs—whether from catastrophic storms, fire, water intrusion, or structural collapse—the burden of proof lies entirely on the homeowner. Preparing a complete, compliant, and defensible claim requires forensic expertise, detailed Xactimate line-item estimates, and strict adherence to policy timelines.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
A: A residential public adjuster is an independent, state-licensed insurance professional hired exclusively by homeowners to evaluate, prepare, negotiate, and settle property insurance claims on their behalf. Unlike carrier adjusters, public adjusters work solely for the policyholder.
A: You should retain representation immediately after severe property damage occurs, before signing carrier releases or agreeing to initial scope estimates. You can also engage our firm if your claim has been underpaid, delayed, or wrongfully denied by your carrier.
A: We operate strictly on a performance-contingency model. There are zero upfront fees or out-of-pocket retainers. Our fee is a small, pre-agreed percentage of the total settlement recovery—we only get paid when you receive your payout.
A: No. State insurance regulations in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana protect policyholders' rights to seek independent professional representation. It is illegal for an insurer to retaliate, drop coverage, or cancel your policy simply because you hired a licensed public adjuster.
