STELLAR PUBLIC ADJUSTING’S VERY OWN, DAVID HUEBNER, TALKS FIRE DAMAGE AND MORE
Written by admin on July 14, 2015 at 7:14 PM.
We had the opportunity to sit down with David Huebner, one of Stellar’s Public Adjusters and get the inside scoop on how to handle fire damage, hurricane season and more!
Congratulations on all of your service for the people of South Florida!
Thanks, I appreciate that!
How did you get started in this industry?
I started working six years ago for a public adjuster. I saw a lot of customers with houses that really needed help. What I realized is that so many people were getting underpaid for their claims and I could help them, and that I enjoy doing so. I continued further in the industry and then joined Stellar four years ago.
What is your official title?

For example, when the fire department comes and sprays down your house, you have to prevent the damage from getting worse. The water that they spray can end up causing mold. The insured has responsibilities to the property and one of them is to keep the damage from getting worse. If you don’t, the insurance company can hold that against you. After the firemen leave, the first thing you should do is call Stellar. That’s what I tell all my clients. We hold their hand and guide them through all the right steps to take.
