[WSBAPT] Residential Real Property Appraiser

[Marsha Hudson]

If they haven’t already done so, suggest they hire an insurance adjuster.
They work for the owner, not the insurance company.  They work on a % basis.

Colleagues:



I am working on an estate in which Decedent’s home was completely destroyed
by fire.  The Beneficiaries (surviving children) just received a payoff
proposal from the homeowner’s insurance company.



I am definitely not an expert in determining the cost of rebuilding a home,
but the proposal from the insurance company seems low.



I am hoping that someone out there has worked with an appraiser who has
dealt with this situation.  There is money available to pay for a review of
the proposal, an additional appraisal if necessary, and negotiating with
the insurance company’s adjuster, if needed.  The property is located in
Skagit County.



Thanks in advance.



Jim Dolan
