Congrats on your new job!!! 🎉🎊

@@kelatrishaan6435 thanks 😊

Congrats!!! How is it going? Do you have any previous experience with claims? Was it easy to get adjusted?

How was the certification process? Im about to start with SF in June and would appreciate any advice/insight you could provide.

@@kelatrishaan6435 Hey Kela, very informative content. I’m currently waiting for my 2nd interview. I applied as a field Adjuster but the recruiter stated that they have a remote position as a desk adjuster. I do have my adjuster license DHS 70-20. I’m not xacimate certified yet working on that now. And I don’t have my adjuster physically yet. I did the fingerprints a couple weeks ago. What’s your take? Essentially I want to be in the field. But I was thinking if the $ is decent I may accept the desk adjuster.

Thank you for watching!

I hear you. You most likely won’t have to climb even in the field role because we have roofers and better technology these days but the desk option will ensure you don’t have to.

I appreciate that thank you for watching!!

Congrats on your new job and yes I agree I love the flexibility of this industry as well

Congratulations on the new job! It’s definitely overwhelming at first because of all the things you have to learn, processes, etc. I’m happy to provide some insight and thank you for watching! 🌟🌟

Hey girl! I just passed my licensing exam for Texas and it was overwhelming but now we are starting class and I’m nervous but I think I will like it. How do you like it so far?

Are you still with geico ?

Thank you so much and I appreciate you watching! You’re on the right track, learning Xactimate is key and the license will make you more marketable.

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing, I’m happy to help 🙌🏼

You’re so welcome and thank you for watching! Good luck to you on your path to becoming an adjuster 💕💕

This is a top tier comment thank you so much!! 💕💕🙌🏼

I truly appreciate the compliment and I’m happy you enjoyed! I’m the same I prefer the field much better, you definitely stay on your toes in a role like this.

I so agree with you. I'm thinking about going in this field and this was very informative

It’s so overwhelming you’re right! You’re very welcome and thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️

Sending you all the positive vibes it’ll work out with little to no stress 🙌🏼

How is it going for you????

How are you doing??? Any updates?

You’re so welcome! Thank you for watching!

You’re so welcome thank you for watching! I’ve never been an independent adjuster so my knowledge is limited but I will see about getting someone that is one to talk about their experience.

Tamar411 hey thank you so much for watching I appreciate the feedback! And same I had a lot of trouble finding info on the adjuster role so I’m happy to share my experience! Whew 7-10 claims a day I know that life all to well and yes it’s a beast. To answer your question on climbing roofs, the company I worked for we did have climb them from time to time but only 1 story and it had to be 3pt composition (I believe that was the name of the material). Anything more than a story or a different material we had to call a roofer. The training I had was only a day 🤦🏽‍♀️ and they basically just showed us how to hold the ladder, proper way to climb and proper way to open and close. I’m sorry I don’t have more info but whatever route you choose they should provide a safety training and demonstration for climbing 😊

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thanks so much for the response, I really appreciate you taking the time! I'm in the Atlanta market and most homes are 2 story but I understand that there is some drone usage and ladder assist w/roofing companies like you mentioned for virtual desk adjusting. That may be a route also, I'll just keep investing in training, asking questions and see what happens. I just ran across your channel today, watched some vids and vibing with your content. I'm now apart of your subscribe tribe and look forward to your content. Thanks again and take care!

Tamar411 Listen I appreciate you subscribing thank you so much! Yes to asking questions and researching that’s the only way to go. Personally if I did the homeowner role again I’d want to do it virtually (I hated climbing roofs lol). Keep looking though there are a lot of companies hiring for these roles, and also the IA role would be perfect for you since you’re considering law school. You take care as well and again thanks for watching! ✨☺️

Which firms do you work for? How did you get started and what is your schedule like. I am just starting out, and anything helps! Thanks in advance!

Yes, definitely safety training or it could be a claim in itself. Just curious seems there would be some type of company guideline to reference to establish roof damage for an accurate estimate instead of actual climbing. Does the insurance companies have that information for their adjusters to go by? I understand the adjuster has to know the roof material type and the measurements also if it’s not a complete replacement the adjuster would need to know how to write up a repair estimate. How do you know these things or do you get some information from a roofer? There’s a lot of construction materials to cover for damage assessment to reach an estimate. Materials I’m not familiar with but off the top of my head I assume roofing nails, the tarp papering, roofing tar, nails and singles or roof type then checking if the main wood has damage underneath. I am interested in homeowners but the roof estimates are making me think vehicle adjuster instead. And that’s the only drawback for me. I am interested in Homeowners just not the roof! lol Oh, I read one comment mentioning a drone and that seems like a great way to access roof damage safely. Again, in short are their guidelines to help the adjuster reach an accurate estimate? Great information I have liked and subscribed and I will be searching your other videos to help me on my newly found career endeavor. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your other videos.

That’s great congratulations on your insurance journey. It’s definitely a heavy workload at times and it can be stressful trying to keep up with your company goals and please your customers. The best adjusters create a system that works for them to make sure their files stay organized and they handle issues in a timely manner. You’ll be fine once you get the hang of it though 💕💕

Congratulations! I start training 2/28. So nervous!

@@CC-zi5fb hey...how's it going ? My fiance is getting into becoming a trainee for travelers and I wanted to know how it's going

@@CC-zi5fb how’s your adjusting job going?

Of course, and thank you for watching!

I’m so happy to hear that congratulations! Thank you for watching 💕💕

congrats, which license did you get first ?

Hello and thank you for your comment! To answer your question yes there are companies that have a commercial claims department, and typically it would just be an extension of the auto department. Most major insurance companies offer this so you wouldn’t have to look too far if this is something you’d like to do. Regarding licensing, my company actually set me up to study the materials and take the tests, but I’d recommend going on the insurance commissioner website for your state (not all states require you to be licensed) and they will provide you with training facilities and self study options. That’s so amazing your son is a firefighter he’s a special person to do such a selfless job, I know you’re a proud mommy 💕. Thank you so much for watching and let me know if you have any other questions 😊

Hello I know custard insurance adjusters handle boat claims and heavy equipment

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and I appreciate you watching! Good luck to you in your new journey into claims as well. To answer your question, whatever company you work with will definitely give you training on claims investigation and expectations for that particular role. It’s not necessarily a class, but more the intro training you’d get for any job. And I feel you on the roof climbing that’s not where we should be anyway lol!

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thank you for your response 🥰

You’re so welcome thank you for watching!!

Thank you so much! I can’t wait til you get the job too good luck to you 🙌🏼🙌🏼

You’re so welcome and thank you for watching! Good luck to you on your adjuster journey.

Thank you so much. Do you have any suggestions on which companies that will hire people in the process of or who just received their license ?

Hi Joseph thank you for watching and congrats to you on your new claims career! I’m happy to help and best wishes to you too

Which company?

I appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching!! 🙌🏼

Regarding the rooftops and are we required to climb the answer is yes and no. Most companies will want you to climb a one story roof but if you don’t feel safe doing so you can call a roofer. The insurance company will pay for that. There aren’t many situations where a company can’t come out so I’m not sure what would happen in that situation. Inspection just may be postponed until it’s safe to do so. As a woman I use my best judgement and if I feel a situation is questionable I will either inspect it virtually or I’ll ask a vendor to come with me. Managers are good about coming too if they live near. All you have to say is you don’t feel safe and that’s it, they will figure out an alternative because employee safety is first: Thank you so much for watching!

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thanks so much for answering so quickly. I really didn't want to start applying to Trainee roles until I figured which would suit me best. I'll keep watching. I see you are full of insight and appreciate the willingness to share it!!

@@kelatrishaan6435 hi, how do you virtually inspect a roof?

@@ChocGoddess4u you would call a roofer to look at it for you and take the photos you need, then you review their report and photos for coverage.

Do you have a video on reconciliations?

You’re so welcome and I appreciate you watching! Yeah a lot of the info is still the same lol but I do plan to do some updated videos for things that have changed ❤️

That’s great thank you for watching!

I understand the feeling and I’m happy to help!

You’re so welcome I’m happy to help 😊🌟

Ese Onah aww I’m happy to hear that thank you so much for watching! More insurance videos are planned out so stay tuned ☺️🙌🏼

Still doing it? I’m burnt out after hurricane Ian

I’m sorry you had that experience. You’re supposed to be walked through all of this before you start taking claims.

You’re so welcome!!

I have a video where I talk about my journey into the insurance industry, and I have a video about how to ace your insurance interview. Feel free to take a look at those and if there are any additional questions reach back out.

@@kelatrishaan6435 thank you so much!!

@@rachelolmos5925 anytime!! 💕💕

Congratulations and best of luck on getting your license, and I’m happy it helped thank you for watching! I don’t have experience as an IA unfortunately I’ve only been a staff adjuster. From what I know however, just make sure you’re super organized because you’ll be dealing with the policies of different insurance companies which means the way you estimate something on one policy may not be the same as the next. This will save you time from having the insurance company come back to you for revisions, and you can move on to the next project ✨✨

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thank you all the best !

You’re very welcome and same to you!!

I was thinking about applying also how is it going so far?

@@keviaxoxo going good so far, I started out on an auto deployment right after this comment did that for 3 months then worked as a staff property adjuster for 6 months now I’m back on a deployment for auto again now. I do want to mention that it will be super hard and stressful at first but definitely worth it once you get more comfortable with the overall claims process. Definitely can make a career in this field, it’s a lot of opportunity to make really good pay

Thank you so much!

You’re so welcome and thank you for watching!!

Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I hear you I have a 3 year old and working from home gives so much more freedom to move around. So I got trained as an entry level adjuster in auto and then in homeowners. I live in CA so it’s not required for all companies to have an adjuster license but the company im with now does require it since we work on out of state claims. They provided the course for us through Adjuster pro. I’m not sure of all the other online classes but I can vouch for that site. Good luck to you there is plenty of opportunity available in this industry 💕💕

@@kelatrishaan6435 ok thank you for writing back ! That’s the same program I was going to take it through! My son is 4 ! So I’m hoping it all works out !

Thank you for the feedback I’m happy to help! Good luck in your job search ✨🙌🏼

It depends where you live, most companies that hire staff adjusters will hire you entry level. Try Allstate, Progressive, State Farm, etc. I’d also recommend hoping on Indeed to see an overview of entry level adjuster roles/adjuster trainee roles.

@@kelatrishaan6435 thank you so much!!

Is a staff adjuster the same as a claims adjuster? I'm new right out of the gate and when I called State Farm they said that claims adjusters are only located at the corporate offices 🤷🏼‍♀️ I too have no experience in this is very overwhelming but I'm glad that I found you!

I just received my 6-20 license and cannot find a job anywhere.

Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying the content! Yeah I compare it to a call center but it’s usually not as heavy with calls, at least not constantly. Most of the calls I made were outgoing, but you will get calls of people and vendors asking for status and such on their claims. Yes you have time to go handle stuff if you’re at home lol! I’m good for taking a 15 to go load the dishwasher or have a snack, etc. There are metrics, usually customer service, how quickly you resolve claims, following department of insurance protocol, etc.

Honestly I’m not sure about the Cali license my company had us licensed through Florida which can transfer to the surrounding states. I’d personally suggest starting entry level as a staff adjuster or even looking into being an IA and they can provide you with the proper steps to get licensed. Since I got it through my company I just followed their instructions.

​@@kelatrishaan6435 Yes, I am very confused on my states requirements to license. Can you gain a license in another state but use it to work in your residential state? Also can this role be done from outside of the USA?

Hey there! I’m a field adjuster and those are remote roles, we just have to go inspect the damages in person but we do our desk work from home. Some roles don’t require in person adjuster inspections and determinations can be made by reviewing reports and photos which may be what your husband does. I’ve had a desk role as well but I worked in auto. It’s all about preference. I hope that helps feel free to ask me anything else 💕💕

Hi thank you so much for watching!! Personally I’d suggest desk jobs if you’ve never done claims before so you can learn the processes then move into field once you have experience. I’ve never taken any Courses outside of those offered by my companies. Once you get into a role you’ll be provided training so it’s not necessary that you look for courses on your own unless you want to. Good luck to you!

Of course, and Thank you for watching!!

Thank you so much and I appreciate you watching! To answer your question no as a claims adjuster it’s not as heavy on the phones as a typical call center. Depending how busy you are and how many claims you have some days are more heavy than others but the pace is doable as long as you respond timely and control escalations. Also most adjusters do work independently, you get your claims and you handle them per the company guidelines. The only time there will be meddling from upper management is if you have escalated issues like not paying in a timely manner or not returning calls. Hope that helps! 😊

@@kelatrishaan6435 Yes, this helps!! Thanks so much!!! I’m looking to transition to claims adjusting as a 2nd career and have been researching and your channel has helped me learn so much! I have 3 claims adjusting job interviews this month 🎉

Thank you so much I appreciate it! Regarding the roof most places will only want you to get on a 1 story roof with not too steep of a pitch so it’s not that hard. However I myself haven’t climbed in years and usually get a roofer to do their inspection and provide me with the report and results.

Hello, finding a job as an adjuster just starting out isn’t hard at all, a lot of companies offer trainee/entry level roles. As far as the pay it depends what you think is good, in my experience a new adjuster can make between $35k-$50k per year depending on the company and area you live. Yes it can be very stressful sometimes depending on your claims load and type. To do this job and minimize stress you have to be very organized and good with time management. Hope that helps!

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thank you for responding! I have soooo many questions but I will check out some of your videos to help. I live in Texas btw and I don't want to travel at all. I've heard you have to travel for training but I'm looking for completely virtual.

You’re very welcome! That shouldn’t be a problem a lot of companies are offering permanent work from home right now because of all that’s going on and with the labor shortage. Indeed will be your best friend 💕💕

@@cjheaven5686 I work for Allstate and we’re completely work from home.

Only if you’re a white man. Then you’ll need to pay thousands of dollars for a school that is acclaimed as the best. You’ll be better than most adjusters who have been doing the job for years after the training, but you’ll get pissed when you see people with no training and no clue about anything getting hired for a job that a year before you couldn’t even get an interview for. Kanye 2024

You’re so welcome and thank you for watching! I’m a staff adjuster so I can only speak to IA surface level. When I started doing these videos I was a desk adjuster so I have some older videos (2020/2021) for you to reference for more info.

Thank you so much for watching and I’m happy you found it useful! Congrats also on getting licensed and the Xactimate certifications that’s amazing. As far as where that all depends where you live. For example I’m in California and my understanding is some companies have pulled out of our market due to pricing and such so when I’m looking for work, I stick to the basics. Key word searches for the specific role I want, and once I find companies offering jobs I’ll go the specific company’s website for more in depth search. For you since you’re new to the industry I’d suggest search for entry level adjuster and adjuster trainee roles to get your foot in the door. Good luck to you and I hope you find something soon 💕💕

In my experience I’ve never seen a part time adjuster job. I think the reason is because of the amount of work, it’s not really something you’d be able to do part time. You may be able to do part time in a call center of an insurance company where you’d take the incoming calls from people filing a claim, which would expose you to that part, and you can eventually move into an adjuster role when you’re ready to apply.

Correct an independent adjuster is different. I’m referring to desk adjuster vs field adjuster working for an insurance company. I’ve never been an independent adjuster.

No, most companies will give you a vehicle, gas card and also pay for the maintenance.

I don’t know about the best place, but I got mine through adjuster pro.

I have a video where I compare staff adjuster vs independent adjuster vs public adjuster which should give you some insight into the differences. The salary range depends where you live and the company. A lot of adjuster roles start between $40-$50k a year for entry level, after you have at least a year or so of experience you can try for a field role which will pay you more. Most companies are Monday through Friday 8-5pm, but the workload is where you would see those crazy hours. You don’t have to work them but a lot of us will here and there to stay on top of workload. Routines are key to keep work life balance

Thank you so much and welcome to the industry! Yeah absolutely you’ll be getting a lot of practice. I’ll monitor this question for any answers, it sounds like you’re an independent adjuster? I would assist but I’m a staff adjuster so any answers welcome! 💯

Neon Teon I’m not sure about that personally but I will keep a look out for replies and alert you!

Yeah I can put together a video discussing licensing, I’ll put something together.

Hey, good question. I believe personally right now more than ever it’s possible to find a work from home insurance job. I’d research the starting pay though in your area to see if it’s something you can do since it seems you’re already established in healthcare. Check out “remote desk adjuster” roles through indeed, or go straight to company sites of insurance companies that hire in your area to see what’s available. Good luck to you! 💕

It all depends on the company but usually just claims experience of at least a year or two and training for the specific type of job (auto, home, etc)

No worries, I’m in Los Angeles!

A lot of companies will prefer a degree, but I’ve known people that don’t have a degree become adjusters. Some places will require licensing though which is relatively easy to get.

I was a staff field adjuster for an insurance company.

Okay, but the roles are still quite similar correct ?

Yes and no. Typically IAs will do the physical portion of inspecting, and putting together an estimate/report based on the insurance companies guidelines. Then that info is given to whoever the handling insurance company is to go over with the customer, make the payment and follow up. As an adjuster for an insurance company we’re responsible for the physical portion and the customer service part.

Thank you for watching! The pay for either role is based on experience. In my case, when I moved to the field adjuster role it was a lateral move because I had no experience in that department. Now however since I have the experience I can negotiate a higher salary. As far as the hours it’s the same, you just have to be really good at time management in the field because of drive time and physically having to inspect your claims. I hope that helps 💕

Training will for sure help you gain the knowledge, but in my experience you’ll also need to do some research on your own to really understand. Get a mentor, watch KZfaq videos, google the name of key words, etc. It takes time to get comfortable but once you are it’s much less overwhelming 🙌🏼

You’re so welcome and thank you for watching! Yes typically in insurance they will want you to have at least a high school diploma/GED but a college degree isn’t required for all companies. If anything licensing may be required but most companies will with pay for or reimburse their employees for getting it.

Congrats on the new job, I’ve never done commercial claims, but the key for almost claims jobs is organization. The workload can be heavy so have routines in place to make sure you can get to all you need to do and stay on track. Also, be comfortable making decisions. A lot of adjusters get stuck because they get afraid of making the wrong decision, but the sooner you make a decision, the sooner you get to the next claim and if you make a mistake it’s not the end of the world, it’s a learning experience. Good luck to you!

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thank you for advice

Fannie Moore very fair question. The starting range for an adjuster with no experience is about $40-$50k depending where you live. I started on the low end of that. Now I’ve been doing it for some time and I don’t work for the same company so I make a good amount more. You can make up to 6 figures BUT you’d likely have to move around company’s because with yearly raises you likely won’t get there any time soon. Hope that makes sense.

@@kelatrishaan6435 thank you for your response. Taking the lower figure of 40k...that's about $3300 per month...but can increase depending on moving around and pays for different companies...did I get it?

Fannie Moore yes exactly, so basically if you start around $40k most companies give about a 2-3% increase per year. My advice is always to build your experience and after about a year or two in your current role, if your raises don’t match the workload/experience, time to start looking elsewhere where you can negotiate a higher salary based on experience.

@@kelatrishaan6435 thank you. I am in the healthcare field so this is new for me. I am eager to learn and at least see how to or what to expect. I understand that some of the learning will be "on the job"- but I like to research and ask questions so that I am efficient. Have you did a death or commercial claims? Or is there another entity deals with that? Please keep the videos coming. I really enjoy them.

You’re welcome I’m happy to help. I completely agree with doing the research it’s better to be as informed as possible before making taking the leap to a new career. To answer your question regarding commercial and death claims I don’t have much experience with those, they are typically handled by specific departments. I have had claims that include a death, but that portion would be handled by a casualty adjuster.

Thank you so much for watching I’m glad you enjoyed. I’m not familiar with NC but I’d recommend looking for entry level adjuster roles or trainee roles in your area if you’re interested in staff adjuster. That way the courses will be provided by your company and you learn on the job. If you’re looking to go the IA route I’d suggest checking your department of insurance website for resources on course work and next steps.

@@kelatrishaan6435 yes i am so dont take the course yet look for entry level roles

I would say some general advice would be to play up your customer services skills and willingness to work through tough situations, and talk about being eager to learn because there is a lot to learn. Good luck to you!

@@kelatrishaan6435 thank you!

That’s a great question! So it’s more of a task list. You do get incoming calls and some days are heavier than others, but most companies will allow you to set your phone to a sort of do not disturb setting for a small amount of time so you can get your work done, you just have to be sure to return any voicemails if you get them.

thats my question as well, im trying to escape call center environment. i have an interview for an adjuster

@@Glamchic01 good luck to you on your interview! Once you're in there are so many possibilities.

A desk adjuster just handles the claim virtually, from investigation to payment to assisting with setting up vendors.

Yeah you absolutely can work remotely without experience. A lot of companies have entry level roles you can do from home, especially right now with Covid. Congrats on your new degree!

@@kelatrishaan6435 sounds lucrative and thanks for the reply! Great video 👍

You’re very welcome, and thank you for watching!!

A field adjuster inspects the damage to determine if there is coverage. If there is they prepare an estimate for the damages and if there isn’t they prepare a decline letter based on the policy. We also review counter estimates, set people up with temp housing, etc. It all depends on the claim.

Hello, so that I don’t know off top because I’m no longer in the market since I started my new job at the end of the year. I found my jobs however by creating a profile on indeed and selecting the option that I was in the market so recruiters would reach out to me. I also check sites of specific insurance companies that do business in my area to see if they have any open roles I’d be interested in. Good luck to you in your search!

Congratulations on getting your license!! I can understand being hesitant to do an 8-5 especially coming from real estate where you’d make your own schedule. You can go about getting the experience 2 ways: the first would be working for a company as a desk adjuster so you learn claims then after about a year you can transfer to a field role. The other way if you want to get straight to it is look for IA (independent adjuster) roles where you’d be more of an independent contractor. I’ve never been an IA so I’m sorry I don’t have info on how to start, but the ones I know make their own schedule and aren’t tied to an office. I hope that helps and please let me know if I can clarify anything. Thank you for watching! 💕

@Kela Trishaan awe... thanks so much! That is fantastic advice and I actually understand. So much information that I get little overwhelmed. I quit taking notes and simply started listening. God must like that bc then I found you. Again, thank you

You’re so welcome and I appreciate this comment you’re an angel! 💕💕

Have you checked with pilot, Eberl and Worley?

It depends, each claims is different

A quick google search of “desk adjuster” or “remote adjuster” will show you whose hiring in your area.

For me the most challenging thing working in the field was the technical part. It was my first role working from home and my first role working on the home owners side, so I had no idea about construction materials or when contractors/vendors were trying to get over on me. It was EXTREMELY stressful but I stayed in touch with my training team, senior colleagues and I made sure to ask for help because I would have drowned if I didn’t. It got better and I eventually was able to do the job with my eyes closed but it took about a year to 1.5 years for that to happen.

@@kelatrishaan6435 oh wow so by you saying that I am looking over videos on what contractors do to cut corners and roofing terms so that I can understand things alittle bit better

Yes ma’am you’re on the right track for sure. They should offer you extensive training but there will be things you will have to learn on the job. I also suggest being professional friends with the vendors so they will be more likely to help you and not try to take advantage of you. You’ll be fine just prepare yourself and always ask your team questions if you get stuck.

@@kelatrishaan6435 oh ok thank you very much 😊

Typically you would start at as a desk adjuster before going to the field, but it’s possible to go straight in if the company allows it. Personally, I feel it’s better to learn at a desk before jumping into the field so you learn how to adjust and manage your workload. As far as the horror stories, believe them, but also know that not everyday sucks. You’re going to have challenging days for sure but once you are comfortable you’ll learn to manage and get through the tough days. Good luck to you and congrats on your licensing.

Oh and I haven’t heard of any part time roles honestly, it’s a full time thing at most places

I don’t see why that would be a problem, I live in CA and initially got licensed in Florida

Good question…first congrats on your new gig, 2nd no it’s different than a call center which is a blessing. You will have moments of low call volume and you’ll have moments of heavy call volume but you can control it. For example If I’m in the middle of something crucial I will let my phone go to voicemail in that moment unless it’s a call I was expecting to finish what I need to do. Personally I feel it’s perfect if you have kids because you can set up your work in a way that works for you as long as you’re getting your work done.

@@kelatrishaan6435 that is so reassuring! Thank you so much! And thank you for this platform. I’ve been watching all your videos. Lol. All of the reviews are so negative so it’s good to see a realistic pov. That yes it’s hard, but manageable. These videos are REALLY needed! Thank you!

You’re very welcome and thank you so much for watching and supporting! I’m happy to help 💕💕

The exact question I had, I have a 1yr old and wanted to look into desk adjuster so I wouldn’t have to pay high daycare fees!! Thanks for feedback

Hi! I’ve never been an IA, but I would suggest applying for a company if you can so they can sponsor you. Most companies will pay for your license if you work for them or at least reimburse you, so I always suggest that so you can save your money but still get your license.

Thank you so much and I appreciate you watching! Umm honestly that’s a great question but I don’t have a definitive answer, what I will say is this: If this becomes an issue I’d suggest trying to get hired by a company and going that route because the company now becomes the sponsor which may make it easier for you to get the license. As far as other states Florida is another good state to try to get licensed in. If I get more info on this I will circle back, but I hope that helps. Good luck to you!!

I’d recommend checking the website for the Texas department of insurance. That way you can see what the state requires you to have and they should have a list of approved sites you can use for your study materials. Good luck to you!!

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thank you so much!

Very rarely because I’m in Southern Ca, but also we can only get on one story shingle roofs. Most times we’ll call a roofer to get the info we need.

Correct me if I’m wrong but PIP is performance plan right? If so then yes a coaching plan is similar

You are correct.

Sure Statefarm, progressive, geico, farmers

In homeowners 1-2 is reasonable but it can be way more depending on the workload

That depends on the company. It's not hard to get into an entry level position especially if you have customer service experience.

Hi Monica, welcome, happy to have you here! I don’t disclose the company because most companies have a social media policy so I don’t want to include them because it could appear I’m “representing” them when I’m just trying to share my experience.

In this video I’m discussing field adjuster vs desk adjuster at an insurance company. From what I’ve heard (I’ve never been an independent adjuster) it’s possible to work that amount of hours but that can be the case for any adjuster depending on the workload.

@@kelatrishaan6435 oh gotcha my bad. I was confused by the terms. I thought you were hired as a contractor as an IA for the insurance company, didn't realize you worked for the insurance company directly. Do you think the pay is the around the same? I hear IAs make $40-$60(OT) working 60+hours.

@@sagelaw7486 no worries! The starting pay in insurance with no experience is for sure lower in my experience but once you do have experience and depending what department you’re in that pay range is very realistic.

Hi, you actually can. Most companies will want you to get on roofs of a certain pitch and usually only 1 story, but a roofer typically can be used especially if there is a safety or health issue.

@@kelatrishaan6435 Thank you so much. I would hate to do a deployment and they let me go because they expect me be on the roof all the time. Lol. I will give it a try

Field property, when I did auto I was a desk adjuster

Absolutely, it’s not a sustainable workload at all!

You’re so welcome I’m happy to help!!

I’ve never been an independent contractor. I do have a video where I compare staff adjuster, independent adjuster and public adjuster for surface level info on what each role entails.

No for these roles it’s salary or hourly
