Working for the policyholder Best Interest!
Most adjusters are not EGA-GA, they are roof climbers and contractor appraisers only. They fail to understand the 1st and foremost requirements in Underwriting/ Loss Control/ Rating for a GA or the concept of an NGAA certified Executive General Adjuster. Appraising damages is not an EGA.
*There can be no liability under the policy until all applicable coverage conditions have been defined and coverage confirmed, including invoking the Appraisal Clause when damages are in dispute, regardless how many contractor bids you obtain.
* Our winning solution almost always maximize your recovery.
*We consistently find solutions in appraisals where others have failed with our "proprietary appraisal approach"!
_______________________________________________
We have DECADES claim experience working for the nations largest insurers in multiple states as an Executive General Adjuster. We understand the "Claim Core" process for a successful appraisal outcome fair to both parties.
Our Experience does make a difference in mediation and negotiating a successful appraisal outcome.
There is more to your claim than hiring a contractor to write an estimate. "Navigating the Claim Maze" takes experience.
There is no substitute for experience!
