Maine real estate appraiser Hamilton & Jacobs Appraisal News

06/2007:   Over the past decade, hurricanes and tropical storm systems have caused billions of dollars of damage to coastal properties in Florida, resulting in record insurance claims.  As a result, insurance companies have raised premiums, restricted coverage, canceled policies, or have stopped writing policies in Florida altogether.  As a result many property owners could not obtain insurance coverage.

In response, Citizens Property Insurance was created by the Legislature in 2002 to offer property coverage to Floridians without private insurance options.  Many policies offered by Citizens Property Insurance require an estimate of replacement cost to be provided by State Certified General Real Estate Appraisers. 

The principals and associates of Hamilton & Jacobs, LLC have been providing opinions of replacement costs, or insurable value appraisals for property owners since the 1970’s.  We have the required certifications, and are familiar with the appraisal requirements of Citizens, as well as other insurers.  Our firm has successfully prepared insurable value appraisals on virtually all property types. If you find that you, or your clients are in need of an insurable value appraisal, or appraisal services for any other purposes pertaining to real property, we would be glad to provide you with information on how we can meet your needs.
