Iâm a desk adjuster. I handle commercial liability claims. I was also a personal auto/property desk adjuster prior to this. Getting licensed will give you endless opportunities. You can NOT go wrong choosing this career path. Especially if you arenât degreed. Becoming licensed gives you the power to either work from home/ a desk/ in the field/ or go into business for yourself. With insurance being a requirement for nearly everything we see, why wouldnât someone pursue a career in it? It is here to stay!
what company do you work for ? I want to be fully remote and work from my home office. Thanks
Thatâs good to know. What kinds of places could I apply for desk/remote
This is a hidden gem why didnât they offer this at the highschool job visits đđ could have done this instead of going into the Marinesđ
Literally me lol
And me

Okay great. Pick a course yet?
Claims Adjuster of the Year Iâm looking at taking the course called âWe train Adjustersâ. Itâs a 40 hour course I believe itâs about 15 courses. This one says that once itâs complete it will exempt me from the state of Florida test. Once completed I will try and get other certs.
Why would you sell all your 18 wheelers I am just curious I am trying to get in the adjusters field as well but it seems like that was a good feel to be in owning 18 wheelers I'm assuming you on them because you say you are selling them I am just curious
@@Stef.Rich78 ????
@@jamaleurings8689 I will answer for Stefan, I did the same thing 15 years ago. I was in the trucking industry for 12 years, I had three trucks of my own and 9 trucks leased to my company. The stress levels are so high in this industry for owner/operators and small trucking companies that unless you have a lot of support it will quickly burn you out.... I lasted just over a decade because I was younger and much more energetic... I did it all by myself with a few employees at home base. The money is great, but dealing with drivers, contractors, brokers, shippers, and receivers becomes so overwhelming at times that eventually you decide to step down, slow down, and reset your life.... Im just guessing, but from my experience and the experience of the other trucking companies I've known in the past, this is what Mr. Stefan is doing. He's ready for a new start, at his own pace.... I too celebrated when the last truck was sold off my yard. Good Luck Stefan! I hope you find less headaches and more money!
Really helped.. Thank you

Thanks for sharing
Thanks Queen đ
I took an online course. It was pretty difficult. Lots of memorization. I did like the fact that I could do it in my own time. I just kept reviewing the quizzes. And there was no video. It was all reading. I would recommend checking that before you buy a course, if you have a preference. It took me just under 4 weeks. I took the test and passed the first time. The problem I noticed was that it was a virtual class. No live teacher. When you have to ask a question, you have to e-mail someone and wait. I think if I did it again, I'd carve out the 4 days and do it live in a class.
How is it going?
@@tamiekahollis5117 Having a tough time getting hired on. They seem to want everyone to go to a storm. Less interested in age + wisdome + life experience and work ethic. I'm 52 years old and not all that interested in sloshing around in floods. I know someone who died from infection from such work.

Hello! First of all thank you for this great video! I currently live in California and I work as a Water Damage Technician. Iâve met several adjusters and I feel like that would be my next step as a career since Iâve gained some construction knowledge through dealing with Water Damage. Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
This was a very thorough and helpful video. I'm a truck driver and looking into becoming an aduater. Wanting to educate myself in something different. I don't know much about construction, do you suggest getting into auto adjusting? I know I'll still have to go through everything to vet ny license.
Hi, Im in the state of PA. I'm new to this but I think from what Ive gathered so far I do need a license in this state correct? And then I can get DHS from the state of Indiana (or FL or TX) right? Like its good to have both?
first i want to thank you for your help and taking the time to make this informative video, iam in california is there a big difference in the actual test or are some states harder then others? thanks
Thank you for the info. Can you do a video on actually HOW to do a claim?
GA - thanks for sharing.
Ok, that's great though but if you don't know how to estimate with exact mate what next? I do hold a 620 all lines but I don't know how to break through I've had it for a year now.
I've worked as an adjuster for 11 years in the Bahamas but want to transition to settling claims in Florida but would need to know how to go about it. Any information to help.

Congrats
I am glad I saw this but wish I saw it before I went to TX for the license! Great information. Who in Georgia is good for just the license?
Cairo Qween Iâm in Texas and I was thinking about going to school for this
I have just recently been thinking of going into the insurance industry. I like the opportunities for growth, the flexibility in schedule (a lot of positions I see are work from home), and of course the pay is good. I got a degree in college that I donât want to use, so this might be a good next step for me.
I have a few questions if you donât mind: I live in PA and I am considering getting a license to have an edge on other applicants and to just learn more about the job/industry. If so, Iâd probably go with the FL license. Is this a good idea? Also, as a claims adjuster trainee, is there a lot of sales/negotiating involved? That is certainly not one of my strengths, and Iâm better suited for the positions that require organizational/high attention to detail skills
Thanks so much for the video! I learned a lot
did you go for it? I also have a bachelors degree (graduated in may) but i need a masters to do much with it. considering getting my adjuster license.
Your videos are very informative. I am a Professional Home Inspector in Texas and have been in business for 2 years. I enjoy what I do, but after 24 years in the Army, I miss traveling and change. I am strongly considering this. What do you feel about the Veteran Adjusting School Program in Sedona, AZ? I would have to get my all line adjuster license first (looking at October)
I have worked in liability claims/commercial/cargo - freight/bodily injury/products liability/general liability for 38+ years. Because I do not have a college degree, I could was never promoted; however, they have placed college degreed people with me for training, then those were promoted up in the company. I have been told many times that If I interviewed for a position, and someone else interviewed, and they have a college degree, the tie breaker would be the "college" degree, whether or not they had experience or not.
I can imagine this to be true. I was in a college accelerator program. Good thing is a degree can be obtained
First step done whatâs next? How many firms should I call. What do I say to them?
Do you have any suggestions on who how I would go about job shadowing this position
Hi ! What school did you recommend for Texas? The video glitches out during this part and I couldn't make out what you said. Thank you!
where do you recommend we find practice questions for the exams? I have some from the U of Central Florida who I'm getting the license through, but no where near 200!

Thank you for all your help and guidance, I'm watching you from Cali...
I have 15 years experience in the water damage industry. I have been working as a lead tech but it's time to move into the insurance adjuster industry...just wanted to know which is the best program I can take in california? I appreciate your help and time.
God bless.
our program at www.majoradjusters.com will help you
15 years? Only lead tech? Damn that much experience should be project manager. I came from service plumbing to the water damage industry. Only 3 months in and Iâm wanting to move to insurance adjuster already. Get the xactimate experience and eventually come back to the water damage industry as an estimator. Or whichever pays more.
I'm in California and am working on estimating losses but I would much rather become an adjuster, from talking to a few adjuster people I know this has really solidified the path I want to take. First, because I am a Profesional estimator, Second I really
enjoy Xm8, and third I want a stable career and focus on what I am good at. Plus it doesn't sound like insurance claims are going away any time soon.
Do you have any recommendations for a good Adjuster school local in the San Diego,CA area that guarantees you will pass?

Iâm getting ready for a career change. Iâm live in Texas and am going to use your advice to take a course and get licensed. So then I would be able to just pay for other states and be licensed there?
Have you heard of TheAdjusterSchool in Texas how do you feel about that it has a combo course for xactimate the licensing and all of that. Total is 600 for the combo course itâs a 5 day course.
Did you try it?
I've heard of the Adjuater School. Thats how I got my license. I'm licensed in every state through State Farm but I'm looking to get into IA. It was a 5 day course, met with my instructor via video. I took the test the following week after I completed the course. I'm also interested in xactimate.

Just became a single mom and ive been raking my brain on a profession i could do that will allow me to fully be there for my kids like drop off and pick up from school . On when their on and home when their home. What your input on this? Thank you so much.
My female friend is a late twenties single mom of an elementary school aged child and is an IA. She took the TX course, got her emergency license here in LA because the recent hurricane and is making amazing money right now. She drops her kid off around 7:45 and gets him by 2:30. Sometimes if sheâs running an hour late Iâll go pick him up from school but sheâs usually getting him from me by 3:30. I had him today and after she picked him up she went to the next town over to do another roof.
Iâm a single mom with no help. I would like to know the daily schedule for a desk claims adjuster. And if itâs family friendly like 9-5 no weekends. Nursing is not family friendly unless you work in a nursing home or clinic
Iâm a single mom of 5 kids! I work from home (8-5) as a desk adjuster. They leave 7:15 each morning and return 3:30. From there, I make sure theyâre occupied for the last 1.5 hr. During my lunch break I prepare snack/dinner so itâs ready when they come home. It can workâŠespecially if you have someone to help. Their school offers an after school program as well. Use you resources!!!
That sounds great. What company is best to apply for remote/desk
