Appraisal, by contract

What an Appraisal Is

The appraisal clause is a contractual method for resolving disputes regarding the amount of loss. It does not determine coverage, cause, or liability — only value.

  • The insured selects an appraiser.
  • The insurer selects an appraiser.
  • If appraisers disagree, an umpire is involved.
  • Any two signatures form a binding Award.

Cloud Claims Consulting operates strictly as an independent appraiser — not a public adjuster, attorney, or claims negotiator.

Andrea Pietri-Diaz

Andrea is a multi-state insurance adjuster with a strong background in property restoration, claims management, and real estate operations. Her career has been focused on helping clients, carriers, and investors protect, restore, and grow their assets with precision and care — especially when a loss disrupts normal life or business operations.

Since becoming licensed in 2017, Andrea has worked as an independent adjuster, managed a public adjuster’s office, led claims operations for an energy company overseeing a $1 billion recovery effort, and managed claims teams for national insurance carriers.

Her experience spans residential, commercial, and catastrophe losses, with a particular focus on property damage assessment, valuation, and fair, well-documented outcomes.

What Andrea brings to every appraisal:

  • Deep field and desk experience with residential, commercial, and catastrophe property losses.
  • Background in property restoration, construction scopes, and cost evaluation.
  • Leadership over complex claim portfolios and high-value recovery projects.
