  • Field estimating & structure knowledge – Inspection, damage recognition, and policy interpretation are key.
  • Effective communication & empathy – Essential for interacting with homeowners, carriers, and contractors.
  • Time management & physical resilience – Juggling multiple assignments under stress is the norm.
  • Tech readiness – Confidence with drones, GPS, field apps, and mobile estimating tools.
