Seltser & Goldstein Public Adjusters

Avoid Seltser & Goldstein at all costs. As the administrator of a two person condo association, I signed with them at the recommendation of my neighbor who had a fire in the basement of his unit. They were non-responsive all the time I was displaced, and continued to be (at least to the female trustee) throughout the process. They grossly mishandled the dual claim resulting from the fire, while the adjuster for Vermont Mutual Insurance was professional, transparent, and forthcoming. Unfortunately, the supposed advocacy of Seltser & Goldstein (for 10% of all settlement funds) added a nightmare of complications, misinformation and delays. Payouts were held up in their office to pad the claim of one homeowner while ignoring the needs of the other, and I later discovered none of the issues I cited in repeated calls and emails were even reported by them. Their claim handler also helped procure contractors and service providers for one trustee while directing me to find my own. The other unit remains abandoned, untended or repaired despite cashed out funds, while S&G continues to file for upgrades. This no doubt contributed to the master insurance policy not being renewed and the devaluation of the entire property. Perhaps I was naive to accept the other trustee's advice to hire Seltser & Goldstein, but these 19 months of obfuscation and collusion have led to the ruin of my home.
