Meet Co-Owner Karen Schiffmiller

You've probably heard the term "public adjuster," but do you actually know what a public adjuster does? A Florida Public Adjuster is licensed and regulated by the state.
 
Public adjusters are insurance experts that work exclusively for policyholders to provide insurance adjusting services. Our team at Reliant Insurance Adjusters have over 76 years of combined experience that make them the go-to experts for your insurance appraisal and claim needs.
 
Meet Karen Schiffmiller
​Karen made the move from New York to the sunny state of Florida almost 30 years ago. She has even more years of combined legal and public adjusting experience than that! In fact, over a period of 37 years, Karen has worked and gained specialized knowledge that gives her the ability to understand insurance policies, and more importantly, the rights of policyholders.
 
As a proud co-owner of Reliant Insurance Adjusters, Karen's fortitude and tenacity enable her to effectively represent her clients by securing all the compensation to which they are legally entitled. She explains all the options under their policy and assists her clients in understanding the challenging insurance claim process.
 
Qualifications
Karen has many certifications and qualifications, and her experience includes adjusting insurance claim losses for residential and commercial property owners caused by water damage, hurricane, fire, flood, sinkhole claims, and more.
 
For insurance claim disputes, Karen is a Certified Property Insurance Appraiser & Umpire (CPAU). She is a member of the Windstorm Insurance Network and the Insurance Appraisal & Umpire Association (IAUA). Karen is a Past President and proud member of the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (FAPIA).
 
Additionally, Karen offers USPAP compliant assessments and values and appraises personal property, including furniture, antiques, and collectibles.
 
Interests and Hobbies
Karen is passionate about giving back to the community and is the President of the FAPIA Foundation. She volunteers and raises money for people in need within local communities. In addition to community, family is very important to Karen. She values quality time with her family and friends and she loves keeping physically fit so that she can continue to provide excellent service to her clients in her sometimes physically demanding role of “professional roof climber.”
 
Karen’s “WHY”
You have probably heard many people talk about their "purpose" or "motivation," the driving force behind the daily pursuit of their goals and aspirations. For Karen, that is and always will be, to help others.
 
“Helping our clients through the difficult and complex claim process is my passion. When I see how insurance companies do not comply with their own policies nor pay claims properly, it makes me work that much harder for our clients to ensure their rights are protected and their claims are fully paid.”
​
​What Makes Karen Schiffmiller Different?
Karen has an uncanny ability to see the big picture and understands how important the timeliness and detailed manner in which she delivers her expertise can be to her clients.
 
Karen believes that creating customer satisfaction is as much about building trust and developing relationships as it is about the actual service itself.  She prides herself on taking a client’s problem and making it her own while delivering the solution with the same level of attention and care.
