Shortly, reality started to seep in. I was without a home, without a house, without any semblance of my life prior to the holocaust. Gone were the paintings, watches and record collection, expensive classic modern and antique furniture, and my prized glass collection. Everything! Gone were the valuables, the invaluable, the replaceable and the irreplaceable—gone was a lifetime of collectibles. All had either disappeared in the fire or were part of the charred remains…Over the next several weeks, I put my past and present in the hands of a talented Greenspan Co./Adjusters International adjuster. Over numerous visits to the burned-out remains, she patiently helped me recreate, room-by-room, possession by possession, the entire contents of my home. Sandy was to become my 'guardian angel' during an extremely confused and traumatic period of my life. Not only did The Greenspan Co./ Adjusters International help me produce a meticulous list of my possessions, but also helped establish prices on priceless objects and actual prices on replaceable items lost in the fire. They also referred me to several specialized reconstruction contractors and helped obtain estimates for rebuilding my home. They interfaced with my insurance agent and my insurance carriers, and guided me through the maze of paperwork that follows a tragedy. I now wonder how I would have made it through that period without their calm and professional assistance. Thanks to The Greenspan Co./ Adjusters International's professional thoroughness, I received the maximum dollar amount of my coverage, located a competent reconstruction contractor at a price I could live with, and started to piece my life back together again.
