How it works

From "is this right?" to paid in full.

Four steps. You stay in charge of your claim the whole way, and every letter goes out under your name. HomeOwed gives you the tools the adjuster already has.

Takes minutes · free

Scan what you were sent

A real person when you're stuck.

"Your adjuster depreciated a 6-year-old roof like a 15-year-old one. Here's how to ask about it."
Straight talk

When you should hire a pro instead.

HomeOwed is the right tool for most residential claims. When it isn't, we'll tell you, and Pro Match can connect you with licensed help in your state.

  • Your insurer has accused you of fraud or asked for an examination under oath.
  • A lawsuit deadline is within 60 days, or the claim has been closed.
  • The property is commercial or a multi-unit building.
  • There's a six-figure coverage dispute, such as flood versus wind.
  • You want someone else to handle every conversation with the insurer.
Questions

Before you start.

Is HomeOwed a public adjuster or a law firm?

No. HomeOwed is claim software and education. We don't represent you, negotiate with your insurer, or give legal advice. You stay in charge and send everything yourself.

Will my insurance company know I'm using HomeOwed?

Only if you tell them. Letters go out under your name. HomeOwed never contacts your insurer.

What kinds of claims does it work for?

Homeowners, condo, and renters policies: water, fire and smoke, wind, hail, storm, theft, and vandalism.

My claim was already paid or denied. Is it too late?

Often not. Many policies let you reopen a claim for supplements or recover held-back depreciation after repairs. The Claim Scan checks your deadlines first.

What happens to my documents?
