It’s a fair question, right?

 
First, let me run for cover. I expect hate missiles and possibly even an attempt to be canceled. When we start to discuss Xactimate, it brings out a rainbow of emotions in people. Both love and hate.

It is conference season, my friends. Get ready !!

 

Were you invited? Are only “PRERRERED” invited?

I encourage you to get that new outfit for the 2023 Claims Denial Adjusters Conference.
