4 Replies and 11629 Views Teachings from a \Seasoned\ Cat (Flood) Adjuster    11629  4 Started by  johnpostava By John A.

13 Replies and 4890 Views Ray, how do you really feel ?    4890  13 Started by  Ray Hall On the topic of new people, this is how I really feel. If you have a bachelors degree go to work for a insurance carrier. And, not in claims, underwriting. If you have never been happy doing what you have been doing since you got out of high school and want to get into cat. adjusting, some get lucky, but that 10 is only about 10 (I think). I really think a job you like or can put up with thats in the 5 k per month range with some perks is better than a gross of 150K on the road 6-9 moths ...

2 Replies and 9924 Views Getting Xactimate Level 1 certified  9924  2 Started by  Crunchyhippo I&39;m a new adjuster and figured that, in addition to my claims license, getting a Xactimate Level 1 certification would show someone looking for a field claims adjuster that I have a decent grasp of the program instead of just hoping I know it, or giving me a limited crash course before sending me out. I&39;ve head the test isn&39;t particularly difficult, so would it be possible to learn what I need to about it on, say, Youtube or online vs. paying $300 for an online class before taking th... :No

0 Replies and 2230 Views A question about license training  2230  0 Started by  NReddy Hi, after reading through the forum it seems that the consensus is to try staff adjusting first before jumping into cat adjusting.  I'm at the very beginning of the process.  I've been selling roofs since Katrina and would like to do something different.  I'm going for my adjuster's license in Kentucky.  Does anyone have experience with Agent Broker Training Center  It's an online course for $149.  Is there a better option  Or will any training that succeeds in preparing me for the license tes... :No
