Appraiser
As your appraiser, my role is to accurately assess value to a loss through understanding current acceptable, code compliant, prevailing construction techniques and methodology, ultimately presenting our position on the scope of repairs with supporting evidence to the other appraiser and/or umpire. The appraiser’s role in meticulously vetting and selecting a fair and impartial umpire is equally important. Over the past 15 years, I have personally worked well over 10,000 water, wind, hail, and fire damage claims ranging from a nominal loss to well over $5M to a fair and equitable conclusion.
The appraisers are only to determine value of repairs or replacement. An appraiser should not discuss coverage or any other contractual issues that may exist between parties to the policy/contract.
Whatever the loss, you’ll want an appraiser with experience
