The story
$5,686. That was the opening offer on a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Woodinville, WA, delivered with the confidence of a valuation report that had never met the car.
So the owner invoked the appraisal clause in their policy. We pulled local comparables and documented every adjustment.
The award came back at $13,688: $8,002 more, up 141%. Same car, better arithmetic.
Nobody had to raise their voice. The comparables did the talking.
