Out-of-State Property Owner's Guide to Minnesota Property Claims

Disclaimer: This article reflects our experience managing hundreds of Minnesota property claims and is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal or claims advice. Every claim is unique and requires individual evaluation.

Managing a Minnesota property claim from another state creates unique challenges. Whether you own investment properties, a vacation home, or commercial real estate, distance shouldn't compromise your claim outcome. In this guide, you'll learn why out-of-state property owners trust Parker Public Adjusting as their local advocate.

The Challenge of Distance

When property damage strikes your Minnesota property, being out of state amplifies every challenge:

• Who's documenting the full scope of damage?

• How do you know repairs are properly estimated?

• Who's meeting with insurance adjusters?

• Are local building codes being considered?

• Is someone protecting your interests on-site?

• How do you verify claim damage and building details from afar?

Common Claim Pitfalls for Distant Owners

Through managing hundreds of Minnesota claims, we've seen how distance creates unique vulnerabilities:

• Damage worsening before discovery

• Incomplete documentation of losses

• Missed policy deadlines

• Local code requirements overlooked

• Communication gaps with insurers
