HOW IT WORKS

A disciplined path from demand to award.

We move every file as fast as the facts allow, without cutting corners, to make the policyholder whole.


01

Free consultation call

Before we are engaged, we review the claim for fit and size and provide a quote. Not every engagement or appraisal fits.


02

Demand and documents

The insured signs a demand stating exactly what is being appraised. We organize the file before work begins.


03

Inspection and position

We review the documentation provided, inspect the loss location, and submit a documented position.


04

Negotiation and award

We work toward agreement with the opposing appraiser and, if needed, the umpire. You get regular status updates throughout.
