After a commercial fire, the owner, the property manager and the adjuster all make calls. Be the company each of them finds, and the one with the paperwork ready.
How your customers buy
- Who calls: the owner or property manager, often within hours of the fire department leaving. Then the insurance adjuster weighs in, and on big losses a public adjuster may too.
- What they need first: board-up and securing the site, a clear scope, someone who can talk to the tenants, and documentation the insurer will accept.
- What decides the next job: being the vendor the management company already trusts. Fire losses are rarer than water, so the vendor list matters even more.
Where jobs get lost
- “The fire was out by midnight. By 7 a.m. the property manager had a board-up crew from a company that answered the phone.”
- “Your work was excellent. The adjuster never heard your name.”
What matters most
- Get on the vendor list. Fire is low-frequency and high-value, so being pre-approved wins more of it than search does.
- Answer every call.
- Be found first, especially for board-up and smoke odor searches, which come in the first hours.

What a property manager checks

Questions
Fire jobs are rare. Is marketing worth it?
Each one is large. The work is staying visible to the people who’ll call when it happens: property managers, owners and adjusters.
Can you market contents pack-out separately?
Yes. It’s its own search and its own page.
The next emergency is already on its way.
