To verify if an online Adjuster CE course is recognized by your state, first check the course provider's accreditation on their website. Then, confirm this with your state's Department of Insurance. They maintain a list of approved courses and providers. Additionally, look for course approval codes and check reviews from other adjusters. Remember, requirements can vary by state.
Just helped my boyfriend study for his PA in IL, he’s already working as a project manager at a company and moving into the PA roll. I studied so much with him I want to test and try to make some side money off it without losing my current job Is that realistic? Just as a project manager knocking on doors offering free quotes (for the PA) he’s gotten like 10 sales in a month. Sounds super promising for him once he becomes PA.
Great job, Mary! That's an excellent start! Like him, I began my journey with a networking approach, similar to 'knocking on doors.' I highly recommend maintaining a side job while you're still beginning your journey as a Public Adjuster, as it won't be a successful day every day. Start gradually, and once you feel confident and established, you can shift your focus entirely toward the Public Adjuster role.
I am looking into getting my public adjustments. Because I started my own roofing company. I am really tired of them trying to shave when they are supposed to pay for things. Where I live comma there are not very many public adjusters that I can lean on for guidance. Are there any courses out there that can help teach me the methods and show the tools that I can use to combat the insurance companies with? It is very dog eat dog here, and these guys aren't gonna give anything.
Here it is my friend. Dive into the claims process right away. And if you have more specific questions, you will get access to the groups where you can ask all your questions: university.commercialclaimsadvocate.com/course-order

I'm in Washington state. Started in AR collections. The job grew into water restoration insurance claims coordinator and collections. Essentially the same kind of job...I help the water restoration customer work with the insurance company to get the max payout. I need more in depth knowledge about how to work claims, etc.
Thank you for all the good info. Do you know any companies around KY, OH, IN that are legit and good companies to affiliate with? I currently have my license with a company that I get absolutely no support from. Thank you!
Glad this video helped! There are likely many public adjusting companies in your area. You might want to consider searching for them to find the best match for your needs.
Great question! You can self appoint, but you must be self appointed for one year. If you are appointed to a firm however, it only has to be for six months
The first year of trying to be a PA will really really challenge people and very very few make it pass that threshold . That’s why there’s only 1,800 Public Adjuster in the entire state of Florida currently. Florida has a population of 24.4 million people which that equates to 13.6k customers per one public adjuster. That means there’s tons of opportunities to make money. So it can be done but you must be a true self starter and it can be done but all else will fail. The opportunity is there the question is who will rise to the occasion. It’s the best job like Vince says in another video. Hope this helps.
Hello . Im working my way up to get the license for PA in the state of FL.For the 6 months apprenticeship Im planning to work for a Public Adjuster (not a big company but for an individual). My question is : Do I get pay while in apprenticeship or is at not pay while learning for 6 months?anybody has any information about it? I will greatly appreciate .
Hi Emil. There is nothing that I've seen that states a PA Apprentice cannot be paid. Only that an Apprentice cannot execute contracts. All contracts must be executed by a fully licensed PA.
Should I become a desk adjuster to learn more about insurance before coming a PA? Currently just graduated FSU and I just got a job working for a home insurance company. I know it’s possible to move up in the insurance industry but becoming a PA has definitely spiked my interest.
It definitely does not hurt to work on the inside first, but it's not necessary. If you find the right PA firm to work for, you can learn everything you need and get the onsite experience while working as a PA.
Hi this is Leni and I subscribed to your channel I'm interested in becoming an adjuster I live in Florida Palm Beach I currently have my own business as a hair stylist but looking to expand I would like to know if I can get help from you so I make the right choice 😊 thank you
That sounds great! I am always available to anyone that needs help. We will be offering consulting services in the near future, but we are still working out the details 😁
I’m just a regular individual with a question. I just lost my RV in a fire, is it worth it to hire a public adjuster, if so why . Or I should just file the claim myself ? Thanks.
Really depends on the size of your RV, but in regard to auto claims, hiring a public adjuster just really isn't worth it for you or the public adjuster
Amazing video, thank you so much!! I know you recommend starting your own business, but if we just want to make some extra side cash, do you think it’s a good idea to work as an independent contractor for a big company like Metro Public Adjustment?
Hi Genesis! Sure, that's perfectly fine. You will be paying more taxes by being an independent contractor, but if you're doing it on the side and not making too much income, it might make more sense than opening up am LLC or SCorp
I’m working on getting my license as a PA. Do you have any suggestions on companies that will hire/1099 as an apprentice for training. I’m in NC but willing to relocate to learn.
Any guidance as to getting Licensed as an Auto Appraiser? I Currently hold a NY,CT and NC License as an Appraiser but Im looking to Move to Florida soon but I can't seem to Find much information for Just an Auto Appraiser working for an Insurance Company.
Just found your channel and I definitely was like I need to subscribe. I live in Orlando and I’m doing my course through adjuster pro, do you hire interns?
Hi Angel! So happy you've found the channel and you're enjoying it. We do not have any interns. Feel free to reach out to me any time with any of your questions. Facebook, Insta and LinkedIn are best. Good luck!
Just passed my state exam and finished my apprenticeship. Got a total of 15 clients during that time 👍. thanks for the video very informational great part time gig. I’m a full time fire/medic.
jean ulloa Hi Jean. I just got my license in Florida and the would like to ask you how did you do your apprenticeship? I am completely lost in that one. I had a friend that was able to help but now he doesn’t look like he wants to help me. Thanks for your help
jean ulloa anyway you can recommend how to pass the apprenticeship in Florida. I think it is not needed anymore and now we need to get appointed by a public adjuster an I haven’t been able to find any that wants to help. I guess I am not looking in the right place.
Commercial Claims Show is there a way you can recommend me how or where to look for and adjuster that would like to appoint a new adjuster. Thanks have the 6-20 license but I haven’t been able to find a public adjuster willing to help in that matter. I had a friend that was willing to do it but now how is not.
I'm a Commercial Auto company/desk adjuster & like your first year.. I hate it! So not what I thought being an adjuster was. Now, as I'm researching & learning I'm figuring out there are different types. I like PA over the idea of IA , but have concerns about consistency. What I'm having a heck of a time securing is to become an independent auto damage appraiser since I've all the CA background to get daily work while building the PAv thing. Any suggestions? I don't see many programs or anyone talking about this except one guy from IA Path
Lol, they definitely DO NOT do hair follicle tests. As far as misdeamers, I do not think it's a problem, but I don't know for sure. There is definitely a background check.
Only some IA firms will drug test pre-employment. No major insurance company will drug test as a pre-employment requirement. The only time you may get tested on a major carrier is if you crash a company provided vehicle.
I love your videos! And I appreciate the value that you bring to us! I am interested in becoming an IA, but now I think I am more interested in becoming a PA! I would like to know how I can reach you personally and inquire about your mentor offerings… Do you offer one on one? Or do you do things in group settings? Please let me know! Thanks!
Love your channel and contents. Thanks for sharing Vince, I follow all of your videos. I have one questio: Is there a study guide available to get ready for the test? Thanks and Stay Safe : )
Public adjusters in most cases are terrible for insureds. They take cuts of $ from you claim that you need to get your repairs completed. Most companies will work with your contractor to get you taken care of. Avoid these guys, they like to tell you they are looking out for your interest, but are they? Check the contract, what is their cut? Heck appraisal is actually less costly for an insured. If you have trouble with your insurance company look into the appraisal clause if you have one.
Hey Michael. Thanks for commenting. As you can imagine, I respectfully disagree. Using a PA will normally result anywhere between 50-800% more. I do agree that "most" not all insurance companies will work with your contractor, however in most states, a contractor cannot act as a PA, and therefore cannot negotiate on your behalf, and cannot quote policy language (like a PA will), when trying to successfully win am argument against the insurance company. PAs do nothing else but look our for the policyholders best interest. It is in our best interest to do so. Unfortunately it is not in the insurance company's best interest to look our for yours. The less they pay, the more they make; the more the delay, the more they make; and the more they deny, the more the make. If you'd like take this discussion further, please message me or call me anytime. Thanks again for your comment.

Just signed on with Metro in CA need to be apprenticeship for a year. But feel I may look into a different company.

Any good Referal for apprenticeship
Does a PA also go on deployments?
Absolutely, but you are not sent on a deployment, you get up and go yourself.
Just passed my state exam here in FL time to grind!!
Hey Cristian! That's a good news! Good luck
hello, can you please recommend a home insurance company that you believe is good from your perspective?
Very difficult question to answer. Every claim is different, which therefore makes some claims more difficult than others.
Do public adjusters travel a lot?
I really interested in being a P.Adj. that's why I'm here making decision to be one!

Can a public adjuster apprentice make money?
Hi Emil. There is nothing that I've seen that states a PA Apprentice cannot be paid. Only that an Apprentice cannot execute contracts. All contracts must be executed by a fully licensed PA.
@@CommercialClaimsShow okay so the Licensed PA would take a portion of the claim
@@emilhernandez9380 Yes, it's their name and license number on the contract. Absolutely.

Thank you for the info brother, what licenses do public adjusters require when starting off? Also where can we apply for such licenses?
Only license you really need is the actual public adjuster license. Check with your states Department of Financial Services.
Do most insurance companies for claims adjuster jobs do hair follicle test and do they hire people with misdemeanors? Asking for a friend
Lol, they definitely DO NOT do hair follicle tests. As far as misdeamers, I do not think it's a problem, but I don't know for sure. There is definitely a background check.
Only some IA firms will drug test pre-employment. No major insurance company will drug test as a pre-employment requirement. The only time you may get tested on a major carrier is if you crash a company provided vehicle.

What do you mean when you say i need to get a bond ?
Every state requires public adjusters to have a surety bond. Here's what it actually means: www.nnasuretybonds.com/bonds/public-adjuster-surety-bond
