Ive been browsing the board for a few days now and decided to join and make my first post. Obviously Im here b/c im wanting to become an adjuster. Ive been talking with as many people as I can over the last couple of months and searching online for as much information I can find in order to help me out. I first became interested in becoming a home inspector and was really interested. Then a week later IKE rolled through down here in Houston were I live and caused some damage to my home. Needless to say I had an Adjuster come out and I started talking with him and he was really informative. He answered all my questions, told me about some of the pros and cons of being an adjuster and How to go about getting a license. He recommended www.cceducation.com and said to just do everything online and go from there. What Im looking for here is some advice on how to get started after I get my license. I have been working in car dealerships as a parts salesman and bodyshop parts sales. Ive dealt with insurance estimates for a number of years and pretty much know body parts and parts like the back of my hand. Should I simply apply with insurance companies , and try to start off doing automotive adjusting in hopes of becoming a cat adjuster ? Or should i get my license and apply with adjusting firms and go from there ? Im really more interested in doing home ajusting and cat (storm trooper as i told by one source) more so than automotive, but if thats what i would need to do im all for it. Thanks in advance for any advice, Greg Needham

I would love to know the answer to this question as well as I'm in the same boat. Any ideas?

Here's a thought for both of you......................... Take several hours, not necessarily in a row, and use the search engine on CADO and search whatever subject you have a question about. Then, start researching the various IA companies in Texas and other parts of the known universe to see if there might be one that looks like a good fit. Then, start researching the various carriers in Texas and, you know, blah, blah, blah. After these tasks have been accomplished, come back and use the search engine on CADO and search for the rest of your unanswered questions. You might try Google as well as I hear they are a good group. Happy Trails Larry D Hardin

Greg, I agree with Larry. Do as much research on CADO as you can so you understand the nuances of this business. This is not an easy business to be in, however, hard work, discipline, dedication, knowledge, and integrity could make you a great adjuster. You might consider getting on Claims Mentor and talking to Debbie about joining some classes. She is very dedicated to helping newbies and a caring and compassionate lady. http://www.claimsmentor.com/forums/....php Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
