    This video is a full walkthrough of how to create an estimate in the newest version of Xactimate: Version X1. I start from the very beginning of the process by showing how to create a new Project and what Profile to use when opening a new estimate.
    I also go over best practices for downloading price lists, how to Sketch a simple room with a door and window and how to build a small list of line items. I show how to finish the process by creating a pdf of the estimate in the new Documents section of Version X1.
    Feel free to ask any questions below about how to create an estimate or changes in the new Version X1.

    I have used Xactimate for insurance and property management companies. I also have used XactRemodel with a couple of different remodeling companies. I am "retired" but still do a few drawings and design work and some estimating. I checked out your videos because someone came to me who was looking for a good estimating program. I recommended XactRemodel and I was looking for some training videos to get them started. I do appreciate your presentation because you go through on a straight line to get them started. When I started with Xactamate they took us through most of the different ways to use the program all at once, THAT was so confusing that we had to almost get rid of all that was said and just find a way to get an estimate done. We didn't realize that there is about 4 -5 ( maybe more) ways to do an estimate, so that wasn't clear when first introduced us to the program, the other guy from our company just gave up and left me to figure it out.

    • @EstimateMastery
      @EstimateMastery  4 роки тому +1

      I'm glad you're finding my training helpful! Sounds like you've been through the wringer a bit on your journey to learn the software - I feel for you as I had to basically figure it out on my own as I went along in the beginning as well. That's also why I started my training company as I witness quite a bit of poor training out there in the industry. Thanks for the feedback - I appreciate you!

    Thanks for the video. I'm an aspiring p&c adjuster (getting my license in a week) and very new to the xactimate program. You've done a great job of taking the anxiety out of learning a new complicated program.
    I know that this video serves as an intro into the estimating process. While there's a lot to this iceberg, your video gave me the confidence to take it on with confidence, efficiently and effectively.
    Since I'm pretty computer savvy with a good background in Microsoft Office Suite, the software seems to be pretty intuitive and easy to learn. Anyway, thanks again for the great work and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

    • @EstimateMastery

      Good job in finding your answers and being confident with the program. Should you desire to take your estimating to the next level we have Xactimate Certification Courses to acquire levels 1-3 taught by our Certified Xactimate Trainer. Let us know how we can help you in the future.😊​
