the expert in the room.

Licensed independent auto appraisers who handle total-loss disputes and want a neutral umpire on standby, research inputs for the appraisals they write themselves, photos of vehicles they can't reach, and a referral program for customers they can't serve. There is no membership fee; each service is priced on its own.

Nothing to become the documented umpire of record — confirmation, the signed selection agreement, document preservation, and both-party access are free. A $248/side step-in fee applies only if both appraisers ask us to render a written determination, collected before valuation work begins. If the two appraisers settle first, we record an Affirmation of Settlement and nobody pays.

No. It is a $199 research package for appraisals you are writing yourself: comparable-market data, condition analysis, and a draft valuation work-up with every input shown. You review the inputs and adopt, augment, or reject them, then form and certify your own independent opinion. The appraisal and the professional judgment behind it are yours.

Consumers buy an Appraisal Research report or our Appointed Appraiser Service, in which we serve as their appraiser. The appraiser package is inputs only — the same comparable-market research, delivered as a draft you finish under your own certification. We never contact the insurer or the customer on an appraiser-package engagement.

Request the vehicle from your dashboard with its location and what you need captured. We dispatch a photographer from our network, and the full image set lands in your dashboard when they upload. The price is $99 to you; set your own customer price for the service.

A way to hand off customers you can't take on — out of your area, outside your licensing, more than you have room for, or a vehicle owner you can't represent because you work for their insurance carrier. You introduce the customer from your dashboard or through your referral link; SecondAppraisal runs the free consultation and all follow-up, and if the customer appoints us we handle the appraisal-clause work. You earn $100 for every customer we help — paid when they hire us, their Appointed Appraiser Service fee is captured, and their settlement lands at least $1,000 above the insurer's offer. Your customer saves $25 on their Appointed Appraiser Service fee, and enrolled appraisers can opt in to receive customers we route to them in their state for $99.

Sign in to your appraiser dashboard and use the Services card. Every request is recorded on our side the moment you click — it does not depend on an email landing — and our team follows up personally to confirm scope and timing before any work or billing starts. There is no self-serve checkout yet.

No. As umpire / third appraiser we represent neither the policyholder's appraiser nor the insurer's — only the evidence. We run a VIN-based conflict-of-interest check before accepting an engagement, and a determination rests on comparable-market evidence, not on which side selected us.
