Gene Savage
@genesavage
Experienced catastrophe adjuster specializing in Xactimate estimates, inspections, and claims resolution.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced catastrophe field and desk adjuster with extensive work handling hurricane, flood, fire, wind, and large-loss claims across multiple states. I create and reconcile hundreds of Xactimate estimates, perform interior/exterior inspections, manage FNOL, negotiate settlements, and collaborate with public adjusters, contractors, and carriers to close claims efficiently.
I have supported large recovery programs (CDBG-DR, RREM) and served as a government inspector and case manager, validating repairs, preventing duplication of benefits, and ensuring compliance with policy and program requirements. I bring strong communication, documentation, and claims-management skills, and I pursue timely license reactivation as needed to continue serving disaster-impacted communities.
