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 place to trade 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 a full consultation in which we negotiate with their insurer. 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 $79 to you; set your own customer price for the service.

A two-way desk for customers you can't take on. Hand off a matter you can't serve — out of state, outside your licensing, or over capacity — and earn $49. Take on a customer we route to you for $99. When we match a hand-off to a buyer, SecondAppraisal keeps the $50 in between. Honor system, no upfront cost.

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.
