ABOUT
Albert Celeste
Licensed Public Adjuster & Licensed Realtor — Long Island, NY
Your Claim — My Fight
Protecting Long Island Home Owners for over 30 Years.
Albert Celeste has been working on insurance claims on Long Island for more than 30 years. In that time, he has handled fires that started while families were on vacation, water damage that escalated into six-figure disputes, storm claims that insurers tried to close for a fraction of their value, and denials that turned out to be wrong.
A U.S. Air Force veteran, Albert brings the same discipline and attention to detail to every claim that he developed in service — and the same commitment to the people he represents.
He is a licensed New York Public Adjuster and a licensed Realtor with Weichert Realtors in Farmingdale. Those two credentials aren't unrelated. A public adjuster who understands Long Island property values, local construction costs, and how damage affects what a home is worth brings a different level of analysis to a claim than someone who only knows the insurance side.
Albert works for the policyholder. Not the insurance company, not a claims management firm — the person whose home was damaged and who is trying to recover what their policy covers.
Pipe break. Fire damage. Wind damage. Vehicle through the fence. Whatever happened — call Albert before you call the insurance company.
What makes Albert different
What 30 years on Long Island actually means
Dual license — adjuster and realtor
As a licensed Realtor, Albert understands what Long Island properties are worth, what repairs cost, and what damage does to a home's value. That knowledge informs every claim he builds.
30 years in this specific market
Long Island has its own insurance landscape — named storm deductibles, older housing stock, and high property values. Albert knows how insurance companies approach claims here and where the gaps tend to appear.
Solo practice — direct access
When you call, you reach Albert. When someone inspects your property, it's Albert. When the insurance company is negotiating, Albert is handling it — not a junior adjuster reading from a file.
Available when you need him
Claim situations don't follow business hours. Albert is available when his clients need him — including evenings and weekends when damage doesn't wait.

What Albert's clients say
The Abdul Family — Fire Damage Claim
"While we were away on vacation over the Fourth of July, a fire broke out at the house next door and spread to our home. We returned to find everything we'd worked for damaged or destroyed. Albert immediately took control of the claim process, coordinated emergency housing for our family, and handled all communication with the insurance company. Thanks to his relentless work, we received the full settlement needed to rebuild our home."
— The Abdul Family, Long Island
The Karcher Family — Vehicle Damage Claim
"When I accidentally drove my car through my own garage, I was sure the insurance company would deny my claim. Then Albert stepped in. He reviewed my policy, documented the damage thoroughly, and explained that under the homeowner's coverage, there was still a valid claim. Against all odds, the insurance company approved and paid for the repairs in full."
— The Karcher Family, Long Island
A.C. — Citibank International Board Member, Pipe Break Claim
"As a member of one of Citibank's International Boards, I take professionalism and trust very seriously. Albert handled every aspect of our claim with precision, communication, and complete transparency. He recovered enough money not only to restore our entire first floor but also to replace our damaged personal belongings. I highly recommend Albert Celeste to anyone who values integrity, accountability, and results."
