Desk Appraisal

If the claim review shows your vehicle is worth more than the insurer’s offer, order a flat-rate $550 desk appraisal. Payment is collected upfront, with no percentages or hidden fees.

Field Appraisal

For classic, specialty, antique, or uniquely equipped vehicles, a field inspection ensures all options and accessories are properly valued.

Fair Payout

In some cases, we negotiate directly with the insurer if they assign their own appraiser, ensuring you receive a fair settlement.

How it Works

Free Claim Review

Start by requesting a Free Claim Review. I’ll evaluate the insurance company’s valuation and let you know whether the offer appears fair or if your vehicle is likely being undervalued. Most reviews are completed within just a few hours.

Invoke the Appraisal Clause

If the insurer’s valuation appears too low, I may recommend invoking the appraisal clause in your policy. If you choose to proceed, I’ll provide a formal Letter of Representation along with clear, step-by-step instructions on what to do next.

Full Appraisal & Representation

Once the appraisal clause is invoked, I take over completely. I will prepare a USPAP-compliant report, communicate with the insurer’s appraiser, negotiate for a fair valuation, coordinate the umpire process if needed, and keep you updated. My mission is to secure the strongest possible settlement for you.

Pricing

Flat fee of $550, covering the full USPAP appraisal, all representation and negotiation, communication with the insurer’s appraiser, and umpire coordination if required. No percentage fees, hidden costs, or surprises.

No-Risk Guarantee

If I take your case and the appraisal clause process does not increase your settlement by at least $1,000, I will issue a full refund of the $550 fee. This ensures zero financial risk in hiring Total Loss NW.

Timeline

Most cases are completed within 1–3 weeks. Once both appraisers connect, the process usually moves quickly, and needing an umpire is uncommon.
