Chris Locascio

San Antonio and South Central Texas

Chris Locascio got his start in public adjusting on the East Coast, where he secured settlements for hundreds of policy holders across Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. In early 2024, he obtained his Public Insurance Adjuster's license from his home state of Texas, where he continues his work. Prior to public adjusting, he worked in real estate for seven years, with experience in both residential and commercial sales, leases, and property management. This foundation in negotiating around contracts made for a natural transition to his most passionate professional endeavor: speaking to the insurance companies in their own language to advocate for YOU! Chris holds a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Christendom College. Outside of work, you may find him in the art studio, under a barbell, or outside smoking up some good ole Texas barbecue.
