Insurance Appraisal

Umpire Services

Consultation Services

An insurance appraisal is a way to settle disagreements about the value of property damage or loss. If you're not happy with your insurance company’s offer, with most policies you can invoke the appraisal clause in your policy. This allows you to get an independent evaluation from a certified appraiser, ensuring you’re treated fairly and receive the compensation you deserve—without having to go to court.

An umpire is a neutral third party who helps resolve disagreements between two appraisers during a property damage claim. If the appraisers can’t agree on the value of the loss, the umpire steps in to make the final decision. My umpire services ensure that the process remains fair, unbiased, and efficient, helping you reach a timely resolution.

If you're unsure about your next steps regarding property damage claims, I offer personalized consultation services to help you understand your options. Whether you're a homeowner unsure whether to file a claim, a contractor seeking guidance on project-related disputes, or anyone looking for advice on navigating property loss issues, I’m here to provide expert insights. Together, we’ll review your situation and determine the best course of action to ensure a fair and efficient resolution.
