Recently found your channel and I wanted to say your videos are very informative. I've been a full time private home inspector for 5 years for a firm and have been looking to make a change. Your videos have been a big help to understand what I may be getting into if I make the switch. Thank you.
You can and should be handling daily and CAT when it makes sense. Most without experience will need a big event/CAT in order to break into the industry and start a working relationship with firm(s).
Great video! Super informative, thank you! I would totally go for Cat for all the reasons you stated, however I can’t leave my family for periods of time like that. What do you suggest I do to start so I can land a steady opportunity and gain experience. I’m totally new, just passed my Texas all lines and have no certifications
Hi Crystal, I'm not an adjuster yet, but from what I understand, you'll probably need to take training courses on your own. Also, you have to get work on Cat duty before you can get "daily." Another way to get training is to start out as a "Staff Adjuster", they'll give you training. No matter what, one needs to market themselves to AI firms. Matt can explain this in much more detail. Check out his videos on how to get started. It's not easy, but once you get in, you can do very well as an AI.
You explain it as if doing both is completely impossible? Why not do storm's when their are some and when their isn't any do daily claims, or maybe auto claims and hopefully be within 2-3 hours from home? I mean wouldn't you basically have to, in order to make it through winter?
which carriers send brand new adjusters out to cat claims? the ones i have found say adjusters need to have such and such claims closed, or 6 months of experience. i’m getting prepared to start in this field and i have so many questions i’ve been watching all your videos and i have also bought your audiobooks, and i really like how your breaking everything down, what is the process of scoping? what is the first thing you want to look at when you do get deployed to a site and you start your claims? how do you understand the policy? will you get trained in whatever licensing firm you choose to get your license from? what terminology is on the policy?
I am a property adjuster at Sf. Before starting this role, you will need to get licensed for the state that you live in before you can handle claims. The scope of work is the area that has been damaged by the covered peril such ss wind, hail…
@@highlyprotected1 yeah girl i’m actually on my first big deployment,this is crazy because i left this comment at the very beginning of my adjusting career, now im doing commercial condos for TWIA i been here a few weeks and i love it i love everything about this career, i wouldn’t change it for the world.
@michelereyes559 Good for you. I'm taking the Comercial training from TWIA but I'm a bit nervous because looks like I know the trade and on the same time I don't know. How was the first deployment if you don't mind to elaborate. Thanks
@@MT-ye4xe my recommendation for the commercial twia is knowing the policy a lot of the answers are on the twia commercial policy, my first deployment was amazing i got a once in a lifetime opportunity to get to a deployment that let me take the time i needed to learn how to properly close claims. i have nothing but good things to say about my team i was on a team with 3 other people including my EGA which was basically like my manager, getting to my location i met with my EGA he handed me my claims i literally started calling all my insureds to set up inspection appointments, my EGA walked me through the first few inspections showing me how to properly scope and document damage he showed me how to conduct myself with contractors, because we were doing the master policy and our individual residential claims, i didn’t have to go far for inspections it has all been the same condominium location. i got to see and learn so much. getting on the 3 story roofs was exciting and challenging. i didn’t have the pressure some go through during a cat 3,4,5 storm i had weeks to learn day by day. the money i made was good, but the real thing was learning how to close claims work on policies that for me was the best thing because i have the knowledge to make it on the next storm. i’m excited and ready for my next deployment.
awesome video. I just started doing daily claim and I can assure you is 10x more complicated than CAT lol. Matt whats the best way to find daily jobs in my area? Im daily now but 12 hours away from home

How exactly do new adjusters get the training needed when companies want experienced?
Hi Crystal,

Getting Exactimate certifications will also go a long way in getting your foot in the door.

Great for new adjuster knowledge

This is very helpful. Thanks!
Knowledge is power
Hi so I have 2 years experience of auto claims desk adjusting, are you able to decline just the roof claims? Or would that build a bad rapport
Thanks for this
