Our Appraisal Process Explained

We follow a clear, 8-step process to make your insurance claim easier.

01

Demand Estimate Submission

We assist in preparing and submitting a complete damage estimate that outlines all necessary repairs, forming the foundation of your insurance claim.

02

Demand Letter for Appraisal

If the insurer’s offer is unfair, we prepare and send a formal demand letter to initiate the official appraisal process on your behalf. 

03

Selection of Appraiser

You appoint an independent appraiser. The insurance company appoints theirs. We represent your interests with professionalism and complete attention to detail. 

04

Appraisal Inspection Scheduling

Both appraisers coordinate an on-site inspection. They carefully evaluate the damage, gather documentation, and ensure all loss details are accurately recorded. 

05

Discussion of Damages

Each appraiser compares findings and reviews all documented damage. They discuss repair scope, cost estimates, and aim to reach mutual agreement. 

06

Creation of Positions

After inspection, both appraisers submit final positions—written estimates outlining the cost of repairs based on their independent property damage assessments. 

07

Agreement and Award Drafting

If agreement is reached, the appraisers draft an official award document stating the final settlement amount, which both parties must accept. 

08

Umpire Decision

If no agreement is reached, a neutral umpire is appointed. The umpire reviews both sides and issues a binding final settlement decision. 

Why Appraisal Is Better Than Lawsuits

  • Faster Than Lawsuits 
    Appraisals are completed in a matter of weeks, while lawsuits often drag on for several months or even years before reaching a final resolution. 

  • Less Expensive Option 
    Legal battles can result in high attorney fees and court costs. Appraisals are generally more affordable, with clear, upfront pricing and no unexpected legal expenses. 

  • Less Stressful Process 
    Appraisals avoid complicated legal steps, court dates, and lengthy filings. The process is straightforward, efficient, and far less emotionally and mentally draining for property owners. 

  • Neutral Umpire Involved 
    When both parties disagree, a neutral umpire steps in to fairly evaluate each side and make a binding decision that brings quick resolution to the dispute. 

  • Strong Documentation Support
    Appraisers use detailed, industry-standard tools like Xactimate and Matterport to document damage. These reports are credible and can support future legal actions if necessary. 

  • Avoid Losing Everything 
    Court cases come with the risk of complete loss. Appraisals reduce that risk by ensuring a fair review and a documented, enforceable decision every time. 

     

  • Allowed by Most Policies 
    Most insurance policies include an appraisal clause, giving policyholders a clear and valid alternative to lawsuits for resolving claim disputes over damage amounts.

When to Get an Insurance Appraisal

  • After a Claim Denial 
    If your insurance claim has been denied, an independent appraisal can provide professional documentation to challenge the decision and support your case effectively and clearly. 

  • When the Offer is Too Low 
    If your insurance company offers an amount far below repair costs, an appraiser can provide a true damage estimate to help you secure fair compensation. 

  • For Disputed Damages
    When there’s disagreement between you and your insurer about the damage value, an appraisal provides a neutral assessment and supports a fair resolution for your claim. 

  • Right After the Damage 
    Getting an appraisal immediately after damage occurs ensures all losses are documented before repairs begin or evidence disappears, protecting your rights and maximizing your claim. 

  • Before You Settle 
    Always seek an independent appraisal before accepting a settlement offer. It ensures the amount truly reflects your losses and helps prevent costly undervaluation mistakes. 

  • When You Need Clarity 
    If you’re confused about what your policy covers, an appraiser can explain your benefits, estimate losses properly, and help you make informed claim decisions.
