Hiring checklist
Name the insurance intended use and value definition, match specialties and inspection method, compare public FAIR profile signals, then confirm written non-contingent fees and a sample report before work starts.
- Scheduling, replacement-value updates, and claim documentation are different assignments.
- A “certified insurance appraisal” search usually needs a written insurance-purpose report, not a FAIR certification.
- Do not treat listed or verified status as certification of competence or insurer acceptance.
