Establish the disputed items
Identify where estimates differ in scope, quantities, repair methods, or pricing.
For parties seeking a property insurance appraiser
When the amount of a property loss is disputed, appraisal may provide a way to address the differences. We review the property damage, estimates, and supporting records within the scope of the assignment.
THE WORK INVOLVED
Identify where estimates differ in scope, quantities, repair methods, or pricing.
Consider photographs, estimates, inspection findings, and other documents relevant to the amount of loss.
Present and discuss the valuation with the other appraiser within the applicable appraisal framework.
Appraisal commonly addresses the amount of loss. The policy and applicable law determine the process and its limits; appraisal does not automatically resolve every coverage question.
BEFORE YOU INQUIRE
This service concerns property insurance losses and the amount of damage. It is different from a market-value appraisal for a mortgage, sale, or tax assessment.
Start with the property location, parties, loss type, and a summary of the disputed items. Policy provisions, estimates, and supporting records can be requested after the initial review.
The proposed assignment is reviewed before acceptance. Scope, timing, travel requirements, and fees are discussed before engagement; sending an inquiry does not create an appointment.
DISCUSS YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Share the service, property location, and a brief description.
Please wait for document-submission instructions before sending sensitive claim material. Availability, conflicts, scope, and fees are addressed before engagement.
