This roster is designed for parties, appraisers, public adjusters, attorneys, and carrier representatives looking for a neutral path to move a property insurance appraisal matter forward.

Built to Be Easy to Work With

The roster is designed to present a professional, neutral, and organized option for property insurance appraisal matters. The focus is on responsiveness, structured review, and helping parties move past valuation deadlock.

This is a neutral umpire roster and intake platform. It is not party advocacy and it is not a public adjusting service.
