Others have been in Your Shoes
We are proud to share what our residential clients have to say about our services.
“If you’re reading this, then you’ve probably experienced a fire, a flood, ruined property, and worse, the loss of the deeply personal things that tell your story. For this, I am sorry. Having experienced a catastrophic fire in 2017 at our family home in Connecticut where we raised our daughter, I know the shock and confusion, but I also know what you should do.
Hire Sabel Adjusters.
This is not just a recommendation. This is solid advice from someone who’s been there. You can’t do this without them.
They will take care of the practical things that will overwhelm you–like suiting up and cataloguing ruined items. In my case, a list that numbered 1200 possessions—from a 19th century armoire to a tube of toothpaste. Everything has value.
They will stay on the case with your insurance company, sparing you frustration and phone calls, navigating payment from the most recalcitrant of insurance companies, like mine. Our settlement for rebuilding our house required an appraisal process that was eighteen months in the making. In the end, we won everything we’d hoped. But we never could’ve gotten there without Sabel.
Our adjuster, Chris Baxendale—what can I say? I hate to admit the number of times I called him at the weekend. He was always there—a guide, a champion, a therapist when needed, an experienced advocate, wise, relentless in the pursuit of what our policy promised in the event of disaster. Above all, he prevailed. He delivered on everything, and then some.
So, take heart. The destruction of a beloved home is among life’s worst experiences. The good news is, there are good people out there who want to help you. They’re called Sabel Adjusters.
And just to repeat: you can’t do this without them.”
Jane Lancellotti
“We would recommend Sabel Adjusters to anyone unfortunate to have a fire-/smoke-damaged home. This difficult process is made as painless as possible with the professional competence of the Sabel team who handled our contents claim by developing a 120-page, 2,500-item report that correctly priced replacement cost including depreciation. The building replacement cost was handled with great attention to detail. You really want Sabel to deal with your insurance carrier; don’t even think about doing this yourself if you value your sanity.”
John and Nancy O’Donnell
“Sabel Adjusters supported us in our total loss of our ~4000 sq. ft. home to a fire with our insurance company. No one, except our son’s dog (who unfortunately didn’t make it) was at home so we are lucky for that. We rebuilt on the same property and would not have been able to do it if we had not had the help of Sabel. We know nothing about the insurance business or claims. Our insurance company’s loss adjuster seemed to think that if they ignored us long enough, we would just go away. Sabel didn’t let them do that. In addition, without the Sabel team’s help, we would never have been able to, or have had the persistence to really complete our contents list. This is not our business, it is theirs, and they did it fantastically. We were initially concerned about hiring a public adjuster because we didn’t know anything about the issues at hand and quite frankly didn’t know who to trust on that day. We spoke to friends who are lawyers and our insurance agent who repeatedly said that ‘remember, a public adjuster will be working for you, not for the insurance company’. They could not have been more right! We could not endorse anyone more than the Sabel group.”
Rosemarie & John Fisher
“Your efforts in settling my insurance claim not only relieved me of the necessity of bringing a law suit to resolve that claim, but more importantly, your intervention made it possible for me to avoid the professional and public embarrassment that would most certainly follow from a sitting judge having to bring a lawsuit against his own insurance company- one that has appeared in his court on numerous occasions in other litigation- simply to resolve his own homeowner’s claim! Thank you again for a job well done.”
Honorable S. Melville
“Jeff Sabel is awesome!! I don’t know what I would have done without him when a tree fell on my house. He worked his magic with my insurance company and got me way more money than they initially wanted to pay. It was wonderful having someone on my side working with me and advising me along the way. I HIGHLY recommend Sabel Adjusters.”
Kathy Sullivan
“We would highly recommend [Sabel Adjusters] to anyone who has to go through the ordeal of a home fire and, ironically, when a friend suffered the loss of her garage by a fire, we personally referred [them] to her with similarly expected results.”
John and Julie Tympanick
“I am completely satisfied with the outcome of your work and your input into my decision-making throughout the long rebuild process. I would recommend you and your firm’s services to anyone facing any size loss involving an insurance claim.”
Alan Proctor
Manager, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
“The blizzard of 2013 caused a 36-inch diameter tree to crash into our house, the result of which was significant structural damage to our house, making it uninhabitable. [Sabel Adjusters] provided the guidance and skill necessary to quickly point us in the right direction.”
Richard and Marytheresa Parsons
“Jeff and his team were always there when we needed them. He answered every phone call and returned every call in a timely manner. Any issues that arose with the insurance company, he was right there and always solved the problems to our satisfaction. He was always there with his positive thinking and always told us there was a light at the end of the tunnel when we got discouraged. He will fight for you and always be there for you, and as he has become to us, he will be your friend.”
John and Debbie Smith
“I wanted to thank you for the masterful way you patiently guided us through what I trust will be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence … recovery from a fire that had us out of our home for five months. Net of your commission, our 1970s home is now a newly updated house inside and out, brought up to code and enhanced far beyond our expectations that first traumatic day. I would be happy to sing your praises, in detail, to any prospective client facing a similar dilemma.”
Craig and Georgia Williams
“Our sincere thanks to Chris and Allan for diffusing our situation! Hiring you to assist with this whole process was by far the best decision we could have made. You’ve made an incredibly difficult situation exponentially easier. We will be forever grateful to you and the entire team at Sabel.”
Kelly & Chris Wasserman
“Your efforts to restore my home to its original beauty after a devastating water pipe burst were spectacular. Your sensitivity, professionalism, timeliness, and overall positive attitude enabled us to rely on your sense of business and personal touch to get the job done.”
Robert Najarian
“We can’t thank you enough for the swiftness of your help, professionalism, and most important, your personal touch in making us feel that our needs came first no matter what -starting with your talking to us at midnight on Thanksgiving Eve after the fire, and then driving the distance to meet us the next day on a holiday weekend, and in the pouring rain. …Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Patty, Jamie & Julie Yaffa
“Words alone cannot express our thanks for all the time, support, concern and good advice you and Jim provided to us over the course of our claim. What we were able to get from our insurance company was due to Sabel Adjusters’ persistent efforts, hard work, and good advice. I cannot stress enough how important Allan and his team at Sabel Adjusters were to us in the claims process. Both my husband and I agree that Sabel paid for itself at least three times. We could not have done it without them.”
Lisa & David Yarnell
“You and all who work for you have done more than my husband and I could ever imagine. What you accomplished with our claim was outstanding. Your company has proved to be hard working, diligent, and caring for the needs of those you represent. It is nice to know there are still people out there who take pride in what they do, and really care for people and not just what they can get from them. You have shown to be one of these types of businesses. Thank you again for all you have done.”
