I'm looking at adjusting as a full time career change for myself. I hold a Professional Home Inspectors license in Texas and thought maybe that experience may help some. I see where some are mailing our over 200 resumes to different adjusting firms...do any of them take rookies? I've taken the all lines class for tx and xmate28 training is there anything else i need. Any insight you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bryan

A real estate inspectors license shows you know something about dwelling consruction and damage. What you need is a major hurricane to get your chance. I would try to practice using xmate to estimate wind/hail damage and send this file to a vendor just like it was a real claim for real damage. This file should have a foot print,roof diagram, and diagram of all the damaged rooms. Also type up a cover letter when you send it back to a vendor. Some of these vendors will have an old file or two for you to use as a guide. Good luck.
