Ever had an insurance company lowball you after a disaster? In this episode of the DIY Homebuyer Podcast, host Nick Aufenkamp sits down with Andy Rouhafzai, founder of Insurance Claim Hero, to uncover the secrets to fighting insurance denials and winning BIG. After his own home flooded with 7,000 gallons of water (think medium-sized swimming pool!), Andy turned a $20K offer into an $850K claim—and he’s spilling all the insider tips to help YOU save hundreds of thousands on your next claim. From must-know coverage buckets (dwelling, personal property, loss of use) to the sneaky games insurance companies play, this episode could be a game-changer for homeowners and first-time buyers. Learn why “get it in writing” is your golden rule, how to spot a bad policy, and even a genius hack using AI to decode your insurance fine print. Don’t get stuck paying out of pocket when disaster strikes—arm yourself with the knowledge to win! Key Takeaways: • Boost your dwelling coverage by 10-20% • Reassess personal property (you might be overinsured!) • Juice up loss of use coverage for 2+ years • First steps when disaster hits (hint: it’s NOT calling your insurer)Connect with Andy• InsuranceClaimHero.org • Follow his insurance-hating memes on Instagram: @InsuranceClaimHeroHave a claim horror story?
