Understanding the Appraisal Process

The appraisal process is a critical tool in the insurance claims landscape, especially when disputes arise over the amount of loss. It provides an independent evaluation, ensuring fair compensation, protecting your interests, and resolving disagreements efficiently.

Number 2

Triggering the Appraisl Process

When there’s a dispute over the claim amount, initiating the appraisal process is crucial. This step helps move past conflicts toward a resolution. We handle this for you with a simple form, ensuring the appraisal process starts smoothly and efficiently.

Number 3

Selecting Your Appraisers

Both you and the insurance company will select impartial appraisers—experts who independently assess the damage to determine the accurate cost for repairs or replacement. This ensures a fair and unbiased evaluation, essential for a just settlement.

Number 4

Agreeing on an Umpire

The selected appraisers then jointly choose a neutral umpire. If the appraisers disagree, the umpire’s decision, reached in agreement with at least one appraiser, becomes binding as long as there is policy coverage. This final decision ensures a fair resolution, avoiding the need for litigation.

Number 5

Reaching a Fair Settlement

The appraisal panel, consisting of your appraiser, the insurance company’s appraiser, and the umpire, collaborate to establish the true value of your loss. This collaborative approach is designed to settle disputes fairly and efficiently.

“I had an amazing experience. I did not have to worry about my claim as soon as Richard took over communication with my insurance company. He handled my claim wonderfully, I was able to get all damaged items repaired on the outside of my home and all I had to do was read the final documents and wait for a check. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs assistance in the process of a homeowners insurance claim.”

“After my tree fell, my insurance company only wanted to patch the hole. With Farrand Claim Consulting, I was able to get the roof and siding replaced completely and renovated the whole upstairs due to water damage. Highly recommend.”

“Our house flooded 3 months after moving in. Farrand Claims Consulting helped us with the entire process. We were really scared not knowing what to except. We are so happy with everything!! Thank you!!!”

“Richard is the best resource I know to provide representation. It’s pretty simple. Your insurance company wants to pay out as little as possible in your claim and you want your damaged items repaired, replaced, or compensated at their true value. If that doesn’t necessitate the need for professional representation, I don’t know what does. Richard is your advocate.”
