Reliant Insurance Adjusters in Boca Raton announces Karen Schiffmiller became President of FAPIA

PRESS RELEASE

Reliant Insurance Adjusters LLC, headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, is proud to announce that Co-0wner, Karen Schiffmiller, became President of the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (FAPIA) in December 2020.
 
Insurance adjusting has traditionally been a male dominated industry but there has been a trend over the last several years of women entering and thriving in the insurance adjusting industry.   As a licensed public insurance adjuster, Schiffmiller is the second woman in the 28 year history of the association to serve as President.  A member since 2007, she joined the Board of Directors in 2014.  Her goal was to make a positive difference in the industry while expanding on her love of helping others.  She became Chair of the FAPIA Community Affairs Committee which focuses on fundraising and making charitable contributions. The Public Adjusters Pay it Forward program has been giving back to worthwhile organizations in communities throughout Florida.

Karen is the principal of her own public adjusting firm, SAS Adjusting Group since 2006.  Karen became business partners with Scott Scovin in 2014 and formed Reliant Insurance Adjusters LLC and they have forged a great team representing policyholders throughout the state of Florida. Karen is also a Certified Property Insurance Appraiser and Umpire. Her winning strategy is to put her heart and soul into the important work she does. She is an insurance professional that will leave no stone unturned when representing her clients with their commercial and residential property damage insurance claims.  Her focus on always doing the right thing is exactly what the membership expects her to bring to her new role as FAPIA President.

FAPIA’s leadership, under Karen Schiffmiller’s direction, works tirelessly to protect the industry and the consumers of Florida. From monitoring and testifying about insurance legislation to building awareness through the media about issues of interest, FAPIA is an important resource of consultation regarding industry issues.  FAPIA offers many business resources to better promote the welfare of its members and also provides outstanding Continuing Education.

“Insurance policyholders often need qualified, licensed and professional insurance claim assistance when they experience property damage to their home or business.  Public insurance adjusters are licensed and regulated professionals that help policyholders obtain full and fair settlements from their insurers”, said Schiffmiller.

Karen has represented thousands of policyholders and helped them recover financially after catastrophic claims such as Hurricanes Wilma, Matthew, Irma and Michael. In addition, she has also represented policyholders with  water, mold, fire, smoke and sinkhole damage claims throughout Florida.  The most common compliment received by policyholders Karen represents is on her organizational skills, attention to detail and how she perseveres on their behalf with their insurance claims. 

“FAPIA members elected her to represent the industry because she is an excellent example of the kind of professional that policyholders should expect and deserve in their time of need”, said Managing Director, Nancy Dominguez.
