About Gerald Eddins

Thanks for stopping by my profile. In 2017, my family experienced the devasting affects of Hurricane Harvey with approximately 5 feet of water in our home. The pain and uncertainty of experiencing a total loss was horrendous to go through as a homeowner. The day our insurance adjuster came to the house, I became interested in the job and the insurance industry. Since then, I began a journey learn the adjusting business and be a service minded professional. I have been a licensed adjuster since 2018 and a full-time insurance adjuster since 2020. In that time, I have successfully completed over residential and commercials claims. I have traveled all over the United States working various deployments. Successful completion of these claims required interaction and participation with public adjusters, roofing contractors, water mitigation companies, and countless experiences. Problem solving and estimating skills have been the backbone of my continued growth and sustainability in this business. My end goal in mind as an adjuster has been to make the policy holder whole and provide an accurate work product. In 2024, I moved into insurance appraiser as a by-product of handling difficult claims. I really enjoy the appraisal process. Most of the individuals I have worked with have been awesome and this is where I see myself in this business. Since that time, I have completed appraiser and umpire certification for IAUA, W.I.N.D, and P.L.A.N. My prior experience and accredited training have propelled my into insurance appraisal. My focus is very simple - get the claims done as effectively as possible. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling with my beautiful wife, Sara, and taking care of our 3 dogs. As a Southeast Texas native, I love being in the outdoors such as saltwater fishing and hunting in the Piney woods of East Texas. My wife and I are also active theater actors so we may be working on a musical in and around Conroe, Texas.
