Fire losses are rarely one number. A carrier may accept the structure but argue the land, the timeline or the market. Each of the valuations below answers a different question, and we prepare them individually or together in a single report.
An independent valuation to bring to your carrier when the offer does not reflect what you lost and a plain-English explanation of how we reached it.
Litigation-ready appraisals, appraisal reviews and testimony for insurance bad faith, subrogation, inverse condemnation and property disputes.
Independent third-party valuations and reviews on complex or contested fire claims where an outside opinion carries weight.
Date-of-death, estate, tax and portfolio valuations on properties affected by wildfire or located inside a burn scar.
Anyone can produce a number. The work is producing one that stands up when it is challenged by an adjuster, an opposing expert, or a judge.
Based in Beverly Hills and working the affected areas directly. Value in Los Angeles turns on the block, not the ZIP code, and after a fire it turns on which side of the burn line a property sits.
We have testified more often than most of our peers in the Los Angeles market. That experience shapes every report we write, whether or not it ever reaches a courtroom.
Wildfire resets a local market fast. We track lot sales, rebuild activity and buyer behaviour inside the burn scars rather than relying on stale pre-fire comparables.
Clear methodology, disclosed assumptions, documented comparables. An adjuster can follow it; opposing counsel can attack it and find nothing loose.
Claim deadlines and court calendars do not move. Tell us the date you need it and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it before you engage us.
Sometimes the right advice is that you do not need a full appraisal yet. We will say so on the first call rather than sell you a report you cannot use.
One call, no cost, no obligation. You will speak with a certified appraiser who has worked these neighbourhoods for two decades not a call centre.
