Total Loss Accountability
Metro Appraisal employs a dedicated Total Loss staff. The staff includes auto industry experts who ensure that correct options and conditions are reported. The Total Loss team handles calling in bids, movement of salvage, tracking total loss and, as requested, total loss settlements. When requested, Metro Appraisal offers full, no hassle, evaluations from the best resources available. Because of our highly developed and experienced unit, carriers save hours on each file for total loss handling.
Expedited Claim Status
Our single point of adjuster contact offers quick access to the latest information. Generally, appraisers are notorious for lack of status reporting and communication. Because Metro Appraisal builds relationships and sustains volume with the appraisers, we are able to leverage quicker status reports and response times from them.
Our staff monitors the progress on a daily basis insuring that appraisals do not slip through the cracks or demand hours of follow-up from the adjuster.
Centralized Billing
Metro Appraisal has the means to bill per file or by bulk. This allows the carrier to save on check and duplicate expenditures.
Because the appraisers are contracted thru Metro Appraisal, all 1099 tax reporting information is handled through Metro. This service eliminates the adjusters' time in gathering tax information plus the possibility of a carrier having to potentially send out thousands of 1099 tax statement letters each year.
Integrated Vendor Services
Knowing appraiser qualifications and their state-required licensing can be a tedious and time-consuming process. Metro Appraisal has dedicated Vendor Coordinators who are responsible for these tasks. The Coordinators interview independent appraiser candidates, review sample work, review and document state licenses, obtain and process appraiser services locations plus ensure that the proper appraisers handle the proper inspection types.
