SKILLS

I excel at managing time effectively, delivering

outstanding customer service, and solving

problems with exceptional precision. Completing

scopes and preparing Xactimate estimates is

second nature to me. With comprehensive training

in all aspects of insurance claims, I’m adept at

identifying damage and determining its

cause—whether weather-related, storm damage,

manufacturing defects, or wear and tear due to

negligence or maintenance issues. Plus if damage

was created by someone, I would be able to

identify this. My expertise also extends to

“Teaching,” as I have created an online E-course

A SUMMARY OF ELI KREBS

Work well under pressure

According to my superiors; My

identification of storm damage “hail” is spot

on, determining if it was wear’N’tear or

worn from a nail beneath the tab or old hail.

I have gone to mediation and won during

Hurricanes and opposite party usually

agreed before it actually went to arbitration

on Hail claims.

The scopes I write, I follow a routine to not

miss damage, whether it be from a

photograph or onsite.

Handling Commercial Buildings and

applying the policy to the scope of damage,

dictating letters of denial.

2 story Rope’N’Harness as a one person

team

Over the last 24 months I learned to create

websites, videos, edit videos, add audio,

Marketing on various platforms, obtaining

email lists and marketing to them.

I have learned a way to automate a

businesses social media, to have posts

going out throughout the month and only

spend 1

Day per month on all of your S.M. accounts

to have them run 30 days on their own.

Whether it be managing a job or a team, I

always listen and look at all aspects of how

to accomplish the task at hand. Not

necessarily taking the shortest and cheapest

route but looking at what’s best for all

parties in play including the environment.

Thanks For Your Time;

Eli Krebs

Above is or was a typical month, running claims.

The claims I saw, I closed the same day, but did

not close onsite,

as it would not allow me to the # of claims I

needed to see.

The image above also depicts my work ethics.

Certificate shows how long I have been learning

the trade of Insurance adjusting. This job has

taught me

● Patience

● How to communicate

● Effectively work an estimating program,

“Xactimate”

● Negotiate and come to an agreement if price

is off, “not scope”

● Identify hail VS anything else, I would have

to say that I’m pretty confident in my

determinations

● Image above states how long I have been in

the industry

● Above is my Home State, AKA Texas License

Image below is a message from the: Catastrophe

Section Manager

● They wrote StateFarm Management and it was

forwarded to the CAT site. They were pleased and

felt at ease with the whole process.

● Above is a letter from Policy Holder in Lexington KY, stating that they feel secure knowing their home is covered by StateFarm, due to the way Eli Krebs

handled the claim.

● Above is another letter of recognition

Above is another evaluation of my work for

an entire storm

My most recent letters from P.H. were lost

along with a lot of other valuable items from

my years working, due to moving.

These letters from P.H. are rarely seen,

people don’t usually say anything when a

Great Job was delivered.

On the contrary, if someone was to mess up,

people more often than not, write a letter

expressing their frustrations.

Thank You For Your Time and Opportunity.

E.T.K.
