Geri contacted us asking for a quote, she wanted to know if her insurance company was giving her a fair offer.

First, we requested a copy of the appraisal report Farmers was basing their offer on. Apparently, CCC was the company they hired.

After a claim review, we told Geri that the Actual Cash value was in fact closer to $12,000 and not the $10,080 she was being offered. Geri ordered an appraisal from us.

Geri submitted our appraisal to her carrier and invoked her appraisal clause.
