We got a few more BUCKS for the NY Bronco. A couple called me from Walworth NY. State Farm tried to put their 2023 Outer banks edition 4WD out to pasture and only pay em $44,495 for their SUV, yep, based on the ever inconsistent lowballing CCC. We saddled up and RO Dee O’d! The Farm put their independent bust Bronco buster up against Billy the kid. Well you know what I did. I Cowboyed up and I went 8 seconds. When the dust settled their cowpoke was no joke. We shook hands and agreed the Bronco was actually worth $46,600. Sakes alive that’s an additional $2105. You know me I’ve got a $600 flat fee. They netted an extra $1505. I think that’s a decent little ride. Never look a gift horse in the mouth, and Never let the Farm determine how much money they owe. Yes it’s a total loss so please don’t ask how or why. It’s totaled… end of story.

Oh HAIL no! The bad neighbor State Farm tried the ice one of their own customers when their 2017 Ford Escape SE with 83,469 miles was beat up and totally by hail. Well the Farm used - you guessed it- CCC to try to justify them only owing them $9768. That was cold! We knew it was worth more than that. The customer hired me using the appraisal clause in their policy. They were from Missouri and said they were in a hurry. I said they really didn’t know me so of course they said you’re gonna have to show me. I said “they won’t mess with the kid ,so show them is what I did.” I negotiated with the Farm’s appraiser. Luckily, he wasn’t a storm chaser. We agreed the Ford was actually worth $12,500. It wasn’t just luck I was able to get em $2732 more Bucks. Never trust the people who owe you money to determine how much money they owe you. We never fail getting customers more money when it comes to Hail.

tried to cheat a gunny Sgt. I said not on my Watch. A veteran wrecked his 2022 Ford Super Duty F-350 Platinum Crew Cab 4WD with 64,888 miles. Of course they used the same ole unreliable “industry standard” one sided CCC market valuation report. They said “ according to US we only owe you $61,019.” The Gunny said “you are funny. Ain’t no way USAA, I’ve hired Billy, and he’s gunna make you pay.” They hired a very respectable appraisal company that was extremely close to my valuation. We made a slight compromise and agreed the truck was actually worth $70,000 Bucks. That’s almost $9,000 more. The gunny was so grateful he almost jumped for joy. Now wouldn’t that have been be funny seeing a jumping for joy gunny. Never ever trust the people who owe you money to determine how much money they owe you. Even when their commercials tell you they protect the military.

After a little R&R, I’m back in the game, as you can guess the insurance companies still have no shame. Here’s another victory on a total loss claim. They were ready to sound the Alarm because their insurance company was the bad neighbor State Farm. I told the customer from Missouri not to worry. Their 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE with 81,833 miles was rear ended as you can see. Good old Snake 🐍 Farm once again used the used the manually manipulated valuation company CCC. They told their own customer it was only worth $23,128.00. That offer was thousands of dollars short, and a day too late. They hired me after they invoked the appraisal clause. I busted on them right out of the gate!! Their independent appraiser started negotiating with me and like as I said when I started.. V I C T O R Y! They offered her $23,128, but I got him to agree it was actually worth twenty seven eight! ($27,800). Winning with us is predestined, just like your fate. She trusted us to do what we do. I got her an extra $4672. Never trust the people who owe you money to determine how much they owe you!

A customer called me from Charlotte NC. His 2020 Audi A7 with a little over 53,000 miles was hit by Driver insured by State farm, they paid $21,650.67 to repair his vehicle. That’s half the value of his car. We submitted a Diminished Value demand for right around $12,000 State farm hired an Independent appraiser after they had originally offered $4000. State Farm’s Independent Appraiser sent me his report saying he thought that Diminished Value was $8000. After one email I got him to agree to a Diminished Value amount of $10,000. With our professional team he got an additional $6000. Never trust the company that owes you money to determine how much money they owe you!

Deception, ignorance and incompetence. One of my closest friend’s wife was rear ended and they totaled her 2023 Honda Odyssey Elite van with 90,422 miles. The person who hit her had National General (ALLSTATE) the same insurance as them. Here is where the wheels came off and things went south. They offered her $28,498.43 based on the same unreliable CCC vehicle valuation company that almost every insurance company uses. We ran the value and found out it was worth $35,525 in my opinion. That’s a difference of $7027. I told Tracy you need to invoke the appraisal clause and hire me. So he did. I always does what I say. He actually does the opposite of what I say usually, but he trust me 110% when it comes to my business. The adjuster said “ I’ll see if you can do this?” This is not your on your insurance…..(Incompetent or deceptive?) I responded of course he can, put it under his coverage. They finally did. When he did they immediately turned on him. More deception and incompetence ensued. Dominique tried to say “typically” and “company policy” requires that I have to provide her with my paperwork before they engage and assign an appraiser. I immediately called BS and sent a spirited email. She then doubled down, saying her boss and the appraisal company said she was correct. He manger Kerri S. Thorp tells Tracy I was correct and Dom was wrong. Dominique then says Rvest ( the appraisal company) was hired and they would be in touch. More Lies .. I know the folks at the appraisal company we work together daily. When I inquired they said they had NO assignment. Enter the 3 “Ds” Defend, Deny, Delay and LIE. A couple more days go by and they finally get an appraiser. He is a very knowledgeable and professional person. Within 2 emails we quickly agreed the van is ACTUALLY worth $35,384. That’s an insane amount of $6,886 more. Just think how many people every day are cheated by an insurance company… even when it’s the insurance company you pay to protect you!! NEVER TRUST THE PEOPLE WHO OWE YOU MONEY TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MONEY THEY OWE YOU, and never trust a single word they speak. You need to say, SHOW ME WHERE IT SAYS THAT IS IN MY POLICY.
