Introducing Joanna Opela- Professional Mediator and Insurance Appraisal Umpire


Are you finding yourself disagreeing with your home owners insurance claim? Most people are not even aware that they have the right to dispute the findings via the Insurance Appraisal Process. 

So how does the appraisal process work and where does an Umpire come into play? 

The Appraisal policy (which can be found within your homeowners insurance policy) allows you to select an independent appraiser to determine the value of your damages, while the insurance company will also select an appraiser. Both Appraisers then select an Umpire. The Umpire essentially works as the arbitrator in the process and if both parties cannot come to an agreement, the Umpire can make the ruling. 

So why chose Joanna Opela as an Umpire?

As a Professional Insurance Mediation and  Umpire, Joanna strives to help people in conflict to find a path to resolution. Entering into an Insurance Appraisal can be a stressful situation. Not only do you want to put your trust in the hands of a competent and knowledge Appraisal, but you also want an impartial, unbiased Umpire to help the process along. The Umpire should be qualified to review the differences between the two parties. 

Joanna's experience with project management, construction, building repairs and materials, and the insurance appraisal process qualifies her as a choice above the rest to act as an appraisal umpire to resolve disputes.
