Kevin, I am in Pennsylvania. No license required, BUT.... firms and carriers want you to have a license, or lots experience. I got Fl and then Tx, for the recip, but I am not 'planning' on working too far away. What I found is that CAT work pays more, but you MUST have licensing for that state. So..... plan ahead guys. I dont feel the need to have ALL the licenses, but I feel you should get lots Exactimate training and lots experience. Even small, local jobs help. And I often offer small, local consult work, sometimes free, to get in with a adjuster firm or carrier or inside adjuster I want more work from. Plan ahead. Research. Watch EVERYTHING on Adjuster TV.
Just started my adjuster pro pre licensing course. Can't wait to get all trained up.
How’s everything going?
I just passed my exam
about to start myself@@KahYAHlahYAH
You just confused everyone
Very thankful to have found your channel is helping me a lot as I’ve just passed my Texas IA exam
hey which exam did you take
@@reubenndungu6420 Texas adjuster school all-lines adjuster exam
@@reubenndungu6420 Have you found a job?
Hi how are you congrats on passing ur exam I live in Dallas TX how was the test
@@lemons9712 the test wasn’t too bad at all, there are good Quizlets online that are pretty much the exact exam.
FL is great state to pick up if you want 90% of your claims to go to litigation and enjoy being deposed.
I use SPEECH to text for almost everything because of bad spelling. That being said I have helped people with Auto Body claims and have done a couple appraisals for others on auto body. I am looking into becoming an adjuster, will my reading and writing disability harm me if I use mainly VOICE TO TEXT for all input??
You are gonna have a harder time, and it will take you much longer to prepare your reports. However, it can be done, if you remember that most of the info is filling out the blanks for the carrier or the adjusting firm you work with. Also, you can get someone to help you with wording. Just use the "buzz words" that are common in you trade. And Exactimate is fill in also.
Very helpful video. Just got approval for ALL lines adjuster in TX 3/6/2024
I need info on Xactimate training?please share. Ty
I dont know if they still offer it but I got my training through Eberl. The training was like $70. I passed my X1 Lvl 1 exam. I would apply to them for a job and look out for their emails for training offers. That's how I saw it.
I just finished my Adjusterpro Course. I am now waiting on my home state to process my license. I am excited to get started but am also feeling a bit overwhelmed. Trying to figure out which way to go in order to get picked up by someone willing to working with new adjusters with no experience.
Congrats ans good luck
Same boat as you, let me know how it turned out for you
I couldn't stop thinking about submitting my eyelashes.
What states recognize Texas requirements
I live in Kansas and have a Texas LLC for consulting. Do I need to get licensed in Texas since that is where my LLC is, or can I do a DHS out of Florida?
You can do your DHS in FL no problem.
Real question why do IA have to have to be licensed but a contractor doesn’t??
Generally, the more complicated an industry is, more regulated it is. Contracting - by itself - isn't that complicated. Especially on a legal POV. Most of what a builder deals with (and repair is even less complicated) legally is the builder's contract. You agree to do X job, at Y place, in Z amount of time, for A amount of money, when you bid a job. The client is protected by building codes, mostly. The contractor has to have a job signed off on by inspectors at given stages of a build. Some places (even the places that do license contractors, because some states do) require new builds to be signed off on by someone with a "more technical" job - an engineer or architect (sometimes both) who shoulders more of the legal liability (and are much more tightly regulated). Insurance is a very technical field, both in math (see the actuarial exams and how notoriously brutal they are, right up there with the Series exams for finance, and many say they're harder and more complicated) and in the legal side of things (there's entire white-shoe law firms devoted entirely to litigating insurance claims and arguing policy minutiae and go through stacks of legal research to do it). For contracts, the rare occasion they go to court at all - tends to be for breach of contract, which is cut/dry as areas of law go. Contracts are simple - because they're made to be, by legal requirements. So because contractors are sheltered by building codes, and rely on the government to approve of their work that way - Texas, at least, doesn't think they need another layer of approval - a license. Whether or not that system works well is another thing entirely. Why do IAs need to be licensed? The autonomy problem (IAs by nature don't have a boss over their shoulder and need to be able to work well independently - why a lot wash out. They like to think they can, but actually can't work well without direction). That gets into signal theory and the license as a way to "prove," that you know what you're doing. Same way degree requirements work. On some level, it's all BS anyway, because education and regulatory signals (the license, a degree) are for bare-minimum competency. They don't train for proficiency (and that'll be why carriers and agencies have something of an unspoken requirement of 2-5 years of field work for their new hires, or someone to vouch for them).
Need advice please. I just tested for adjuster license in California after studying for a month. I failed horribly. What can you suggest for study materials besides adjuster pro?
I don't honestly know of another one besides AdjusterPro. All state tests are pretty hard and I know that AP provides good prep for all states. I hate to say it but it may just require deeper study of the prep materials. It's not uncommon for people to fail those tests. I failed the State Farm cert the first time I attempted it and they had a ton of really good prep for it.
Good info!
Can you get your adjuster license with a felony, or multiple? All drug felonies
I think it depends on the state. The best thing to do is to call the state dept of insurance you're looking to get your home state or dhs license in and just ask anonymously.
@@AdjusterTV public adjusters can have felonies here. Talked to a guy with 8 earlier
Depends on state - most are ok with it, especially with non-violent offenses (like yours), at least that I'm aware of. It may be harder for you to find work with a carrier or agency though - most do background checks, and it's fairly competitive to find work without a record. Not saying that to be a downer or discourage you (we all fuck up sometimes, my man, no shame) - just something to be aware of.
You might consider too (depending on your state) damage estimating and auto appraising. It's much easier to get work in a body shop, say, than with a carrier if you have a record. If your state allows you to be licensed (or like here in TX, you don't need one for it, unless you go into auto adjusting), put in a little while in body shops (or heavy diesel shops) doing estimation, and you'd be an easier hire for the carriers and agencies. We're a strangely egalitarian field .We care a lot about your work quality and ethic, and not really as much about where you come from. As the work goes - it's pretty similar to auto adjusting, and you'll still work a lot with insurance. Something to consider. Especially if you're at all into working with your hands - body shops really appreciate people who are good estimators and can learn how to be a body guy. That hands-on experience translates really well into auto adjusting, too. The best auto people - generally are either reformed mechanics, body people, or general car nuts.
Money isn't quite a good as P&C Cat, but there's still cat claims on this side if you're willing to travel, decent money, usually more work than anyone can handle. It's just like anything else - getting that first job is the hard part.

So. Im totally new..dont know anything and i want to get started. What should i do?
check out adjustertv.com/start All your answers will be answered.
@@AdjusterTV They will answer your answers?
Which license?? 320 or 620?..
Do you offer mentorship?
Hey Kevin! Dean here - wife behind the scenes! Great to have you following along. He mentors students inside his 'Fast Track To Deployment' IA Property Certification! adjustertv.com/certify
Good Evening Dean, thanks for the reply. I just joined the waiting list
Should we take the California and New York license courses to prep for the exams since those require exams or is there a cheaper way to get those done/study for those?
I am a Florida and Georgia license holder. I’m thinking of getting Texas next and South Carolina since texas is helpful but I also have contacts in SC I can stay there for free/discounted cos I used to live there.
@@LindsayBallifwhy is Texas helpful
@@LindsayBallifTexas and Florida are the two best licenses to have as an IA.
@@Nirvana_key_lab We have some of the highest reciprocity of any other state. You get a license here, and you don't have to read exams in a lot of other states (because theirs, basically, works similarly to ours). On a practical level - we're also prone to all kinds of storms. Wind, hail, flood, hurricane, plague of locusts, you name it. And every now and then, we have wildfire issues. North/east Texas and the Panhandle also have a ton of ice in the early part of the year (and thus a ton of auto claims). For the Cat people - they can fairly easily end up here every year. Even beyond the good bit of reciprocity. FWIW though, our exam is all-lines and comprehensive, but most of our policies are heavily regulated (and thus pretty straightforward), so the test isn't bad. Just a lot.
Thank you so much .
You are speaking about Independent Adjuster licenses. Not Public Adjuster licenses. CO does have PA license requirements.
Yes, we don't do PA stuff on this channel. Two totally different things.
I'm a new adjuster. Almost a year in. Resident license is NC. I have a SC adjuster license as well that expires Aug 31. It's costing me more to renew my SC license than it cost to get it last year...is it like that with other states?
No. Every state cost are different. Some more than others
I know every state fee is different, but more specifically, is the renewal always more than the initial state license fee?
The big question is, are you making money or not
@@jcharles1525 Varies by state - but honestly, with most anything needing a license or cert - yeah. Same with trade associations. You usually get a break on your first year, and you pay "full price" starting the year after. There's exceptions, but that's generally the rule to expect. The "why," is that it helps the buy-in medicine go down, and by year 2, you're expected to easily be making enough to cover the re-upping.
NY, CA and HI are TOUGH!
Ok
So which 6 does everyone need to get again 😂😂
Like wtf dude
Simplify it !!!!
Get em all.
Get licensed in your home state first if they have a licensing requirement. Then go for Texas, Florida, New York, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and California. Then go for gulf states. If you have the money, he recommended getting the SE states - TX up through NC (TX, AL, MS, AL, FL, GA, SC, NC). And everything else will basically fall after that.
