A practice built around one question
Most property claim professionals do a little of everything. We chose to specialize. Washington Insurance Appraiser works on one question: what is the amount of loss? Our process, our calculators and our documentation standards are all built around answering it well. That focus lets us serve as your appointed appraiser, review an estimate before a dispute grows, or sit as a neutral umpire on a panel where we represent neither side.
How we work
- Our own scope first. We inspect and measure before we look at anyone else’s numbers.
- Defensible over impressive. An inflated number might look good on day one, but it loses credibility with an umpire. We price what we can support.
- Plain-English reporting. You’ll understand every difference between our valuation and the insurer’s.
- Honest triage. If your situation needs an attorney, a public adjuster or a complaint to the OIC, we’ll tell you.
- Fees in writing. You know what it costs before any work starts.
Who we work with
Homeowners, condo owners, landlords, HOA boards, property managers, business owners, farms, churches, contractors, public adjusters and attorneys across Washington. On any claim we serve in one role only, and we disclose any prior relationship with the other appraiser or the umpire.
What we are not
We aren’t a law firm and we don’t give legal advice. We don’t act as public adjusters or negotiate claims outside the appraisal process. And we don’t guarantee outcomes, because no honest appraiser can.
Statewide, on purpose
Washington’s property risks change completely across the Cascade crest. Working statewide means we see every kind of loss the state produces: windstorm and tree damage in Puget Sound, ice storms in Vancouver and Spokane, wildfire in Okanogan and Chelan counties, and hail and wind in the Columbia Basin. We price each with local knowledge.
