Insurance & Casualty Loss Appraisals

After a fire, storm, or other casualty event, property owners and their insurers or advisors often need a supported opinion of the property's value — both before and sometimes after the loss. A casualty loss appraisal documents that value in a defensible report. The appraisal establishes value; it does not determine your insurance settlement, which is governed by your policy and the claims process.

SC Real Estate Appraisals prepares residential valuations for casualty situations across Flagler and Volusia counties. The appraisal documents value; it is not a repair estimate and does not assess the cost of remediation.

Before and After the Loss

Many casualty assignments require a "before" value reflecting the property's condition immediately prior to the event and, where relevant, an "after" value reflecting its post-loss condition. The appraiser analyzes comparable sales and the property's specific characteristics as of the relevant effective date. The scope and effective date depend on the assignment and, where applicable, your insurer or advisor's guidance.

Comparable sales are local. Our coverage spans Flagler and Volusia counties, so we understand how values differ between established Daytona Beach neighborhoods, beachside communities, and inland towns. That local familiarity supports credible comparable selection for your assignment.
