INSURANCE APPRAISAL

An insurance value appraisal is a professional assessment of a property's insurable value.  This is different from the more commonly known real estate or market value appraisal.   The purpose of an insurance value appraisal is to know how much it would cost, in today’s dollars, to rebuild the building and other insurable improvements, in the event of a catastrophe.  An insurance value appraisal excludes land value and market desirability.

 

An insurance value appraisal prepared by Dreux Isaac & Associates will provide you with an experienced, unbiased, third party valuation of your property’s insurable value.  Our appraisals will provide both hazard and flood insurable values as well as square footages, construction details, ISO classifications, property photographs and floor plan diagrams.
