Moburkes home owners tree damage insurance policy

You got me there. I don't sell insurance. I don't have the cold heart to do that work.
I'm just an experienced hands-on person that can and does repair a varied number of mundane home projects or highly technical electronics repair work.

Now Mo! You have some moral support out there but you should also have had access to a Law advisor to check out my answer before you responded.

I also heard this ditty in the past: A homeowner can call their insurance company and get funds to remove a bad tree that may save the insurer a lot less in future damages.

This 80 foot dead and rotting pine tree is next door - ready to go. Where it will go?

I used my van and some guy wire to sucessfully pull a similar dead tree down yesterday at a friends home. No damage to the house.

So?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh - bad tree. Now THAT is a completely different story. We weren't talking about a bad tree until that very last post of yours.

I have NO idea what is cold hearted about being able to restore a family to its previous condition (before whatever it was that caused the claim).

I've paid life insurance claims after a person's loved on has died. I couldn't have stopped the person from dying. I was able to, however, provide the son, whose wife was ready to give birth, money for the down payment on their new family home.

I have been able to help people whose lives have been devastated by loss, to be able to slowly pick up the pieces after that loss.

I have no idea what could be cold-hearted about any of those stories.

Up until I moved to a different part of the country, I had previous customers begging me to move their business to my new company - so that they could keep this good agent who worked with them, who tried to give them what they needed - not what would line my pockets. I was never the top seller - because I only wrote good business. I didn't write everything and hope that some stuck.

And now that I train people to become licensed, and I train licensed agents to sell, I teach them about ethics, which is not currently required. I teach them how to do right by their customer - which sometimes means selling less policies or spending extra time with a particular customer.

Your agent must have an attitude like yours for you to feel that agents are cold hearted.

Sorry - you simply need to find a better agent instead of forcing your ignorant opinions on others.

And, by the way, considering that the business is insurance - I have access to all kinds of lawyers - in just about every state. I use them when I need them.

Thank you for the personal history lesson.

Greetings
Spring is here in Georgia. I got some yard work repair done today. I was checking in to see if everybody is still redneck and after my begonias. I also do people right and I that's why I am not financially rich.

On the original post for this subject line: A tree was blown over by high winds or a tornado. We know not if it was dead or diseased though it doesn't take a rocket scientists to inspect the remains.

I said I have one neighbor's tree next door ready to come down. I am not looking for a tornado to take it down, I said - it is ready to go.
It's an 86 foot high dead pine tree leaning my way.
I pulled a 50 foot dead tree down in my yard yesterday. The trunk was 13 inches thick. Had it fell on it's own leaning direction it would have ripped out my house electrical lines and probably ripped open the roof
and house connector pipe.
I repaired this same problem damage for a friend two years ago.
A dead falling limb took out the house supply line and ripped open the roof when the electrical post was forced outward.
A Lodge buddy repaired the roofing damage, and another Lodge buddy repaired the kitchen ceiling damages caused by the rain water.

I have another bad tree in my yard though it is actually over the property line and is the neighbor's tree. It is going to fall on the front of his house and into all of his supply lines. The current angle of the main trunk is 20 degrees. There are no limbs on the up side. but many on the down side.
I would like to posts some pictures. How to do? I told a tenant there today it (the tree) needs to be removed but he doesn't understand and I can't speak spanish or Guatemalian.

So! I shall find the true owner tonight and advise him properly.
