Why we focus on appraisal
Most claim professionals do a little of everything. We chose to specialize. New Jersey Insurance Appraiser works on one question, the amount of loss, and our process, tools and documentation standards are built around answering it well. That focus lets us serve as your named appraiser, review estimates before a dispute escalates, or sit as a neutral umpire on panels where we represent neither side.
How we work
- Our own scope first. We inspect and measure before we look at anyone else’s numbers.
- Supportable over impressive. An inflated estimate loses credibility with the umpire. We price what we can support.
- Plain-English reporting. You’ll understand every difference between our valuation and the carrier’s.
- Honest triage. If your claim needs an attorney or a public adjuster instead, we’ll tell you.
- Fees in writing. You’ll know what it costs before any work starts.
Who we work with
Homeowners, condo owners, landlords, association boards, property managers, houses of worship, business owners, contractors and attorneys across New Jersey. 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 don’t give legal advice. We aren’t public adjusters and don’t negotiate claims outside the appraisal process. We don’t guarantee outcomes, because no honest appraiser can.
Statewide on purpose
New Jersey packs a lot of different risk into a small state: ice and big trees in the Skylands, dense multi-family housing in the Gateway cities, inland flooding in the Raritan basin, coastal storms at the shore and wildfire in the Pinelands. Working in all 21 counties means we see every kind of loss the state produces and price each one with local knowledge.
