Why this letter in inaccurate: Mabry was a class action settlement. The class consisted of “all persons issued in Georgia automobile
State farm admitting that the 17c formula is unfair and that an actual appraisal yields a “great deal more” than the formula! Obviously, unless a “dispute arises”, they will try to sell you on their mabry formula. Tell State Farm NO, you will not accept their settlement offer. Hire Diminished

Would you rather collect 80% of an accurate appraisal or 20% of an inflated one?
Many clients believe that if another appraiser gives them a higher initial estimate, the settlement amount will be equally high. WRONG!
Insurance companies know who the legitimate appraisers are, so don't get caught up in the estimate game. Hire an appraiser based on their credentials and reputation.
