Use a Professional Experienced Appraiser to
help establish value and reduce risk! 

There is a distinct difference between the the "Market
Approach" to value and the "Replacement Cost" value
(for insurable purposes). A typical real estate appraisal determines the "market" (approach to) value based on
sales comparables.  A typical replacement cost value is
normally established for "insurable purposes" (loss
settlement basis).  Please refer to the definition below.

How to confidently know that improvements to real estate are properly insured:

It is important to update insurable values
(the loss settlement basis of most policies) in line
with today's increase in building costs.

Most insurance companies now require a written valuation report before the renewal of (or underwriting of) a property casualty policy.

DEPRECIATION (for insurable purposes) in accordance with Florida Guidelines is another major issue: Does your replacement cost report include Depreciation? Call Us - We know the details.

Updated and documented support in the
event of a catastrophic loss is "peace of mind"
for both the property owner and the insurer.
 
It is prudent for both parties to know in
advance what the "replacement cost" is.

Definition: Replacement Cost "New":

(For Insurable Purposes:)
A value, which is the estimated cost(s) to
construct (at current pricing), a building with
utility equivalent, using modern materials,
and current standard design and layout. 
This is normally NOT a reproduction estimate
(a reproduction is an exact duplicate or replica).


Citizens Property Insurance Corp.

license home inspectors.
