Our Appraisal Process

A clear appraisal-clause process built around an independent Total Loss ACV appraisal for cars, SUVs, diesel trucks, and specialty vehicles.

  1. Free Valuation Review

    We review your insurance valuation report and compare the value against our data sources.

    Send the CCC One, Mitchell, or carrier valuation report so we can verify the offer against real market data.
  2. Hire Brown & Co. Motorcars

    If the value appears low, you hire Brown & Co. Motorcars as your independent total loss appraiser.

    You can share our contact information with insurance when you invoke the appraisal clause.
  3. Receive Your Appraisal

    You receive the completed independent Total Loss ACV appraisal by email for your records.

    Typical turnaround is about 24 hours after we receive the needed documents, photos, and vehicle information.
  4. Insurance Hires Their Appraiser

    The insurance company assigns or hires their own appraiser to build a separate appraisal.

    The process compares two independent appraisals rather than relying only on the original carrier valuation report.
  5. New ACV Is Agreed Upon

    The two appraisers compare the independent appraisals and work toward an agreement on the new Actual Cash Value.

    If the policy requires it and the appraisers cannot agree, an umpire may be used. (Rare)
  6. Award Is Sent to Insurance

    The award is sent to the insurance company so they can process the updated total loss value.

    The carrier processes the award according to the policy and claim handling procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an independent Total Loss ACV appraisal in Houston?
An independent Total Loss ACV appraisal is a market-supported valuation of your vehicle's Actual Cash Value after the insurance company declares it a total loss. In Houston, this can be especially important when the carrier's CCC One or Mitchell report misses options, condition, diesel-truck equipment, heavy-duty truck configuration, mileage, or local Greater Houston market data.
When should I hire Brown & Co. Motorcars as my total loss appraiser?
You should consider hiring us when the insurance company's offer appears low, the comparables do not match your vehicle, options are missing, the condition rating appears incorrect, or your diesel truck, luxury vehicle, SUV, or specialty vehicle is not being valued accurately. We first review your valuation report for free and compare it against our data sources.
How does the appraisal clause process work for a total loss?
After you hire Brown & Co. Motorcars as your appraiser, we prepare an independent Total Loss ACV appraisal and email it to you for your records. The insurance company then hires or assigns its own appraiser. The two independent appraisals are compared, the appraisers work toward an agreed ACV, and the award is sent to the insurance company for processing.
How fast can I receive my Houston Total Loss ACV appraisal?
Most Houston Total Loss ACV appraisal reports are delivered by email within about 24 hours after we receive the needed documents, photos, and vehicle information. Complex vehicles, diesel trucks, heavy-duty pickups, high-end vehicles, or rare option packages may require additional review.
Do you appraise diesel trucks and heavy-duty pickups in Houston?
Yes. We handle Total Loss ACV appraisals for diesel trucks, heavy-duty pickups, work trucks, and high-option personal trucks throughout Houston and Greater Houston. Equipment, trim, engine, mileage, condition, prior use, and local truck market data can make a major difference in the final ACV.
Are your appraisals accepted by insurers for Texas total loss disputes?
Our appraisals are USPAP-compliant and follow recognized valuation methodology. They are formatted for insurance review and commonly considered during Texas total loss ACV disputes and appraisal clause situations.
