When disaster strikes, too many homeowners find themselves battling their insurance companies rather than focusing on rebuilding their lives. In his new book, Don’t Settle for Less: The Essential Guide to Working with a Public Adjuster, Richard Boullon reveals insider strategies to ensure homeowners get the full compensation they deserve. The book will be officially released on April 11, 2025, and aims to educate homeowners on how to successfully navigate the often-intimidating claims process.

A seasoned insurance industry expert turned homeowner advocate, Boullon spent nearly two decades working on the inside for companies like Nationwide and Citizens Insurance. Through his experience handling large-scale property claims—including damage from hurricanes, fires, and plumbing disasters—he saw firsthand how often homeowners were left with unfair settlements. That realization drove him to establish Exclusive Public Adjusting, a firm dedicated to ensuring that homeowners receive proper compensation.

Empowering Homeowners with Industry Secrets

Unlike other insurance claim guides, Don’t Settle for Less provides a unique perspective—offering readers the very strategies that insurance companies use, but turning them into tools for the homeowner’s advantage. Boullon highlights the five key ways a public adjuster can be an essential ally, helping homeowners avoid common pitfalls, maximize their claims, and take control of the process.

“Homeowners don’t realize how much power they actually have in the claims process,” says Boullon. “This book is my way of leveling the playing field—giving them the knowledge and confidence to stand up to their insurance companies and demand what they’re rightfully owed.”

A Must-Read for Every Homeowner

Don’t Settle for Less is a must-have resource for homeowners currently facing an insurance battle, as well as those who want to be prepared before disaster strikes. Readers will gain insights into:

• How insurance companies calculate settlements—and what they don’t want you to know
• The crucial role of a public adjuster in securing a fair payout
• Common tactics used to undervalue claims and how to counter them
• Steps to take immediately after property damage to strengthen a claim

With clear, actionable advice, Boullon ensures that homeowners aren’t left at the mercy of their insurers.
