Property claims aren’t just paperwork and phone calls. They’re real stories involving real people, real homes, real stress, and real money.

In this episode of the Happy Homeowners Hub Podcast, I, Fred Turner, share real-life property claim stories from more than 15 years in the home restoration and insurance claims industry. These are not textbook examples. These are the situations homeowners actually face after water damage, storms, and other unexpected losses.

You’ll hear what went wrong, what went right, and the lessons learned that could save homeowners thousands of dollars and lots of frustration. I will break down common claim mistakes, missed opportunities, and smart decisions homeowners made when navigating the insurance process.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How small property issues can turn into major claim problems
• Why poor documentation hurts insurance claims
• When improper temporary repairs can backfire
• Why an insurance adjuster’s first decision isn’t always the final word
• What informed homeowners do differently during a property claim

If you’re a homeowner dealing with a property claim or want to be better prepared before damage happens, this episode will deliver practical insight from real-life experiences.

Remember, the goal here at the Happy Homeowners Hub is helping homeowners become Happy Homeowners with No Regrets.

Severe storms can cause more than visible damage. They often trigger costly mistakes homeowners don’t realize they’re making until it’s too late.

In this episode of the Happy Homeowners Hub Podcast, I will break down the 5 most expensive mistakes homeowners make after a severe storm and explain how to avoid them before they turn into denied claims, out-of-pocket repairs, or long delays.

Drawing from over 15 years of real-world experience inspecting storm-damaged homes, I will be sharing three real-life homeowner stories that highlight what goes wrong after hail, wind, or heavy rain and what smarter homeowners do differently.

You’ll learn:

• Why waiting to document storm damage can cost you thousands
• How the wrong inspection can derail a legitimate claim
• The right and wrong way to make temporary repairs
• What insurance policies really say about storm coverage
• When handling a claim alone may work against you

If you’re a homeowner dealing with storm damage or want to be prepared before the next one hits, this episode offers practical insight to help you protect your home, your claim, and your wallet.

This episode is part of the Happy Homeowners Hub mission: helping homeowners become happy homeowners with no regrets.
