OUR WORK
WHY IT WORKS
Different Arena of Negotiations
✓ We Invoke The Appraisal Clause
The insurance company then has to hire an independent appraiser to represent them, and we represent you as an independent appraiser also.
✓ Remove Bias
This takes the insurance company and their biased valuation software out of the negotiation completely.
✓ Accurate Value
The value is then determined together by two highly experienced independent appraisers.
THE PROCESS
How we get extra settlement:
1
Get Insurance Offer
Not yet deemed a total loss?
No worries, let's wait for the decision.
If totaled out, we'll wait for the insurance offer to determine if insurance offer is fair.
2
Invoke Appraisal Clause
We invoke the appraisal clause on your behalf and have the insurance company hire an independent appraiser to represent them.
3
Negotiations
We work with the opposing appraiser to come to a fair middle ground value for your vehicle.
Once we have a value, we both sign off on the Appraisal Award Letter.
4
Get Insurance Check
The Signed Appraisal Award Letter is sent to the insurance company for final payout based on the new value.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How do I know if I can get more? Whether you can get more for your vehicle depends on the offer from your insurance company and the actual market value of your vehicle. Give us a call, and we'll do a free appraisal and let you know if there's room for a higher settlement.
2. How long does this take? Once the vehicle is determined a total loss, it typically takes 4-7 business days for our process to complete. It all depends on how quickly the insurance company and their appraisers work.
3. How is the value determined? To determine value we take into account current day comparable vehicles in the local market, and make adjustments for the options/packages, mileage, condition of your vehicle. As well as any recent repairs or maintenance, and aftermarket parts.
4. What are the costs associated with your appraisal services? Our fees vary based on the type of appraisal service and the complexity of your case. We offer a transparent pricing structure, which will be clearly explained during your initial consultation, ensuring there are no surprises.
5. When is payment due for your service? Payment for our services will be due upon you receiving your final settlement check from the insurance company.
6. Can you take the fee out of the settlement check? No, unfortunately insurance company policies do not allow for that. Payment must be made "out of pocket" after you receive the final settlement check.
7. Is there any risk? There is no risk. Your first offer from the insurance company is always yours to keep. As such, you'll never end up below your first offer.
8. Do I need to provide any documentation? The only documentation we will need is a copy of your insurance offer. This most commonly appears in the form of the CCC One Valuation report or the Mitchell Valuation report.
9. Does this apply to Leased Vehicles? Yes! Often times insurance companies will pay out just enough to cover the lease payoff. We can assist you with getting some money back out of the lease vehicle.
