Assuming a major hurricane does hit... 3800 6
Started by huntstyle
We all know the forecasts don't always pan out, plus it depends WHERE it hits, but let's assume for a minute that a major hurricane hits south Florida or something. Should that happen, what is the best way to go about getting into CAT adjusting for the storm I've been in insurance restoration for 2 years, and in fact was in Houston for Ike, so I'm familiar with hurricanes, and I use Xactimate. I know to save money afterwards and all of that, and that's not a problem. Onc...

I know that a career in Cat Adjusting is something that I seriously want to do, and I am willing to put in the work to get there. My question is: Is there a way to get started by processing Xactimate claims from my home...

I have read threw some of the post here, man you guys sure are hard on new guys WOW.. I'm sure it has something to do with having to work behind and clean up after some boob, who couldn't tie his own shoe but managed to get an adjuster lic during a horrific storm. But not all of us are like that. I have a very very very strong back ground, in client relations, negotiations, problem solving,time management, and most areas of construction, leaning heavy to res construction. I am extremely detail...

I am seeking some adviced from senior adjusters. I have been in the insurance industry since 1992, pretty much right out of high school.

I am on the 'front lines' as they say at an agents office. I am an associate agent, and basically run the office. I am a licensed general lines agent (both property and casualy, and life/health), and I am a licensed...

Interested in becoming a catastrophe adjuster 4318 10
Started by Charlie D
I'm an experienced (15years) local, independent property adjuster. I'm interested in making the switch to catastrophe adjuster, and would prefer to work for a large insurance company, rather than being independent. I think so, anyway.
I have no idea how to get started, or who to apply with, and I'm just looking for some general suggestions. Thanks to anybody that can help!

Hi, I live in Southern Calif. and have been a general contractor for 28 yrs and in construction for 35. I worked with an adjuster in 2003 after a firestorm wiped out a clients home.
