Matt shares his journey from insurance adjusting to leading one of the most influential networks connecting independent restoration contractors and insurance carriers. He opens up about what makes the CORE Elite membership so impactful — from high-level networking and business growth opportunities to the rigorous vetting process that ensures quality, integrity, and reputation across the board.
We discuss how CORE Group is helping independents stay competitive in a rapidly consolidating market, the importance of relationships in driving success, and what’s next for the restoration industry as technology, training, and claim volume continue to evolve.
