What is a Residential Property Appraisal?
A residential property appraisal is a formal process used when you and your insurance company cannot agree on the value of a covered loss. Instead of continuing stalled negotiations or pursuing litigation, each side selects an appraiser, and together they may choose an impartial umpire to reach a binding decision.
Disputes often arise when damage is undervalued, key items are overlooked, or estimates differ significantly. During appraisal, we conduct a detailed review of your loss, document all damages, and prepare a comprehensive valuation that accurately reflects the true cost of repair or replacement.
