Understanding the Auto Appraisal Process

---

Every case begins with a free consultation. During this review, Emerald Appraisals will analyze your insurance company’s settlement offer, consider comparable vehicles, and review available documentation to assess whether the offer is undervalued. Our auto appraisal services focus on ensuring you receive a fair settlement. If there is a promising chance to enhance the settlement through the insurance claim appraisal process, we will clearly explain the next steps before proceeding with the vehicle valuation process.

If you choose to move forward, Emerald Appraisals will invoke the appraisal provision of your insurance policy on your behalf, representing your interests throughout the vehicle valuation process to ensure an accurate assessment of your auto appraisal services for determining the fair market value of your vehicle.

Emerald Appraisals collaborates directly with the insurance company’s appraiser to review market data, repair estimates, and valuation methodology during the vehicle valuation process, ensuring a fair assessment of your loss. Our auto appraisal services include negotiating on your behalf throughout the insurance claim appraisal process to achieve an accurate and fair settlement. If the final loss value does not exceed the insurance company’s previous offer (including our $500 fee), your fee will be refunded.
