Hear What Our Students Say
What Is Xactimate?
Xactimate is professional property estimating software developed by Verisk and used by insurance companies, independent adjusters, restoration professionals, and third-party administrators. It allows adjusters to create detailed, line-item estimates for property damage claims caused by:
Wind and hail damage
Water damage and flooding
Fire and smoke losses
Storm and catastrophe events
Interior and exterior property damage
Because Xactimate is considered the industry standard, many insurance carriers will not accept estimates created outside the platform.
Why Xactimate Is So Important for Claims Adjusters
For most insurance claims jobs, Xactimate experience is a requirement—not a preference. Strong Xactimate skills can:
Increase your chances of getting hired
Help you close claims faster
Reduce estimate rejections and supplements
Improve estimate accuracy and professionalism
Increase earning potential for independent adjusters
Adjusters who understand how to properly use Xactimate are more competitive, more efficient, and more valuable to carriers.
