The Ride Along Home Inspection Podcast

Inspectors always get mistaken for this guy!


Listen Later

There's two different people Home Inspectors often get mistaken for: appraisers...and adjusters. Jessie Hernandez is the second one: a public adjuster from The Lone Star State! So in this episode, we explore the differences between public adjusters and insurance adjusters, the role of public adjusters in advocating for policyholders, and the importance of understanding insurance policies. The conversation also touches on how homeowners find public adjusters and the evaluation process they follow during claims. And since we so often get confused for each other, we get into the intricate dynamics that exist in the cross-over between public adjusters and home inspectors. Jessie also shares his journey from aspiring home inspector to public adjuster. We've all got one thing in common, though... we love bourbon 🥃
