Highly regarded industry credentials
In addition to over 25 years of industry experience, Jim has highly regarded industry certifications including:
Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) – Many insurance company CEOs and senior executives have this designation, it is the most difficult credential to get. Only 2% of professionals in the insurance industry have it and only a fraction of those are diminished value appraisers. A CPCU is widely considered to be an industry expert.
Associate in Claims (AIC) – A certification that demonstrates in-depth knowledge of insurance policies and the technical, negotiation, and communication aspects of good-faith claim handling practices.
Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Certified Damage Analysis Appraiser – Getting this designation requires passing a difficult examination in all aspects of collision repair estimating.
I-CAR Platinum Pro-Level 3 – This is the highest certification level possible for an appraiser and body shop technician. Those who have this designation have received the highest level of training and knowledge of best practices for performing complete, safe, and quality repairs in the collision repair industry.
Licensed Auto Appraiser – This license ensures that your appraisal will be taken seriously.
Insurance company representatives who will review your diminished value claim are very familiar with these credentials. Because your claim will be based firmly on industry standards, it is less likely to be challenged than if you pay for a cheap, canned software report using unacceptable and questionable methods.
When Jim signs your appraisal, the insurance company will know you mean business because they’ll know you’ve hired an expert. If necessary, your diminished value appraisal will also be accepted as a credible way to prove your diminished value loss in a court of law.
It takes highly qualified diminished value appraisers to maximize your claim. For help with your claim, please call us at (850) 201-1950.
