Property Examiner

The Property Examiner course is a 1 week class focused on teaching file reviewers, desk adjusters, and examiners how to review completed estimates on damaged residential buildings which have been prepared by other adjusters.  Classroom lecture on building materials, scoping issues, and analyzing claim estimates are the tools utilized in this class. 

While students do not write estimates in this 1 week course, real claim estimates are used to help prepare desk adjusters to find common errors made by field adjusters relating to misidentifying building materials, measuring, procedural mistakes, misapplication of estimating software, and other scoping errors.   In addition, attendees will discuss current issues related to water mitigation, lead and asbestos in certain building materials.
