For the past two years Metropolitan Appraisal Services has searched the country for appraisers and collaborated with Collision Quest and Apptrak Appraisal Management to build a network management system.
The company can offer auto damage, heavy equipment, marine, and motorcycle appraisals as well as property damage adjustment to all of clients nationwide. Lawrence Kostant, owner and senior appraiser, said Metropolitan Appraisal Services does the appraisal correctly the first time, and the finished product is guaranteed to be accurate, thorough and detailed. The turnaround time is 2.5 days.
The company's goal is to help control claims severity, reduce turn around, rental costs and storage charges. Claim status can be viewed directly in real time, with a direct link to Metropolitan Appraisal Services and the appraiser handling the file. This system is designed to reduce the time it takes to get statuses on files by eliminating phone calls and emails.
