thank you for info

Could you make, if you haven't already a video that is shadowing a basic claim's paperwork/phonecalls/computer work start to finish and I dont mean the find/document the damage stuff, nor specifics on how to use Xactimate. I just started my prelicense class, and I find myself asking like How am I to know what is In their policy? Ok so a firm calls say would you look at this house, then emails me everything? it pops up as a case on their software? Why are some claims are completed that day and others take weeks of negotiations. Am I negotiating or just answering Q Reporting? Have the feeling this is a once there its pretty obvious but Im curious how it actually works.

I look forward to these podcasts, they are very informative. Keep'm coming. Thanks

Guy needs his own podcast! Please!

This is so valuable, I’m just getting started but this is so insightful. I’m a newly retired veteran and was looking forward to attending Veterans Adjuster school before I found out it was closed

Matt, you were one of the best I ever worked with! Not to mention just being a great dude!

The new in-video ad placements randomly in the video are disrupting the flow and need to be placed during a natural pause not in the middle of a sentence or thought. @3:11.

Too much hand movement. My ADHD is going ballistic.

I’ve been worrying myself sick being a new adjuster walking into the unknown. This video is going to help me sleep tonight. Thank you.

How did he know to charge 11k for that one claim? Based on what do you charge that

There is a lot of work, its just hard to get in sometimes. I got lucky and thanks to everyone leaving for hurricanes, it left a vacuum for daily adjusters in my area and I managed to get on.

They're awful. They went full DEI and then cut the pay. Crap management and Eberls, and EA Renfroe pay like crap and have crap management.

I learned absolutely squat

Getting an LLC as an adjuster is great for building business credit. With business credit, you are able to pay for business expenses like equipment and training. You can also get work vehicles in your business name and apply for business grants.

Had a question, I’m in Florida and looking to get my license, however I did get a DUI in 2022. Was wondering if this cancels me out or if it varies between companies

Thank you for posting this. Drones do happen to come in handy for the tile and metal roofs too. My biggest worry is with AI claim solutions though

I'm super excited to have found this channel, I want to switch my career from a Building Inspector based in Gqeberha (South Africa) to a Loss Adjuster.

That how it was for me , IAL , Pilot ,SF , deploy and sink or swim😂

Is Lenovo still a problem? Is this something I should prepare to contact IT about?

This is a recycled video.... all he did was change the title he made the video 2 yrs ago - and 2 years ago he said the estimate was high (back then he was high in the sky) today even worst... heyyy bud ever hear of inflation

What if I have xactimate training already? Would this additional training help me understand certain things such as the State Farm software? Or am I miss understanding you?

As an IA who started as a roofer and has been adjusting for 8 years now, I really appreciated this conversation. Great conversation for anyone to listen to especially if they’re just getting started or thinking about getting started in the industry.

Hi, does ones reputation hang on one fixable mistake, or a career complainer ? Does the company above protect or harm an adjuster ? Thanks ❤

Step One: Be a soulless scumbag. Step Two: Profit.

What is the base salary for typical IA firms

It’s is a very hard, stressful job.. easier if you have a good boss and more stressful if you have a crappy supervisor

You've got to cross your t's and Dot your eyes and do the prep work that literally no one wants to do anymore that makes any platform that people do work on have a bad reputation which even makes the good people not want to try.

I have employees that are losing the sketch when they upload the project to the cloud. Any tips? I don't have access to program to trouble shoot myself

So by classifying the wind damage as “racked” are we saying it’s an issue with improper installation or is it just a descriptive term?

Your video is very helpful

It seems over saturated and some of the youtubers are saying that it's not a lot of work like it used to be. Before I jump into this, is it really worth it? I'm a trucker and i want to get out of trucking, but i don't want to invest money and time into something that is not as lucrative.

Title is click bait

Ruff or roof 😂

A minute saved is a minute you can’t bill for. Any monkey can take site photos/ drone roof and claims can be desk adjusted. Goodbye field adjuster positions.

If someone gets an insurance license in Georgia. How can they travel state to state as an independent adjustor?

As an independent adjuster, how would you learn the different claim processes ?

Hello, I recently just passed my CA Public Insurance Adjuster Exam and am curious about the 4000 hour experience requirement. Some say its absolutely needed, others say experience in customer service will suffice, others say passing the state exam alone will be enough to be granted licensure, can you help to clarify this situation? I spent hours studying over the past few months and although I don't feel as if I wasted my time, I do feel like I wasn't properly informed about how long the process will actually take. thank you

Great video I hope to be an insurance adjuster in the next 6-9 months

Does it incorporate the labor price in there?

He might need to tighten the mic stand nut.

Farmers insurance has an item on their policies called MARRING of Laminate shingles is not covered on a hail claim.

I'm trying to figure out is this video about storm chasing and his life story or about being an auto adjustor?????

❤

Matt, Great interview! Guy, I hope to meet you someday. You are spot on! I believe veterans make some of the best adjusters, partially because we have been drilled with process and procedure. The military term is “Task to Standard.” In addition, we have learned to adapt in a chaotic environment! In my view, I can only speak for Florida; the industry shot itself in the foot by forcing itself to adopt the task model. This was followed by NO fee schedule increase for 8 years and shorter turnaround times. Then, the carrier began hiring Desk Adjusters with no field experience; DAs are also on a very tight timeline and don’t have time to research things like 3rd party fake or manipulated invoices or inconsistent photos that are not from the same incident provided by the insured. Many IAs have changed to PAs in Florida because they couldn’t survive on the IA fee. Fortunately, this industry survives out of necessity and is somewhat recession-proof. Being an IA, Appraiser, and Building Consultant, I see many failures that could have been resolved in the field if only we had the authority we no longer are granted. And yes, there are so many versions of Prime and Paint 1 coat vs. 2 coats. And now, 1% matching, oh my, is that not going to blow up the industry? You are correct; consistency is key and the result of good training. The IA not only has to earn respect as an Adjuster, but we also need to be compensated for our technical skill set! I am an entrepreneur; my passion keeps me in this business.

Matt- That video is freaking awesome. Who is that Guy Grand :-) Really though, it was such a pleasure hanging with you in Montana. I know many of your viewers might want some extra process training so let them know that after the first of the year, we'll have a new 4-day course on how to follow the VAS Process. Thanks for what you do, you're number 1 now.

The answer: don’t.

Thank you !🙏

So the school isn’t moving to KY? I thought that was the plan. I’m heart broken! I was going to attend the May class but decided to wait until it was moved to KY.😢

Whats the best school or training for auto adjuster and appraisal

So if I receive an offer, would it be smart to accept? I want to get into the insurance industry, and I was laid off from my job a few months ago. The position is for Customer Support Specialist.
