Total Loss Appraisal Clause. Getting Your Real Market Value.

We don’t just write a Total Loss Fair Market Value appraisal like some companies. Our Total Loss auto appraiser will also negotiate with your insurance company’s appraiser to get a fair value for your totaled vehicle. This is included in the price of your appraisal, you won’t be upsold later on like some companies. ALERT! If you pay for an appraisal, and the appraiser charges you an additional amount to negotiate the claim, you may only be reimbursed for the cost of the appraisal only. That’s why we include claim negotiation at no additional charge with all of our total loss appraisals. 

Auto Appraiser

Over 14 years as an Oregon Licensed Auto Appraiser #V34-075

Negotiator

Ken Nix has over 40 years of negotiation experience, with 30+ years in the automotive industry, and over 14 years negotiating Oregon Total Loss Claims for Oregonians. We specialize in Oregon Total Loss claims so you don’t have to.

Only Works For Consumers

No conflict of interest here. While other appraisal companies may claim to work only for consumers, we really do. We only work for consumers, not insurance companies. I’ll state my reputation on that. – Ken Nix

Detailed Specs

In Oregon and Washington, if you feel you’ve been offered an unfair amount, you’ll normally have an appraisal clause in your policy that allows you to dispute their offer. The appraisal clause allows you to hire an independent auto appraiser to produce an appraisal and your insurance company will also have to hire an independent auto appraiser to produce one for them. The two auto appraisers will negotiate the value between them, if they can not come to an agreement, then an Umpire will decide which appraisal is more credible.

In Oregon, if we increase the value by one cent more than the last offer your insurance company offered you, they have to reimburse you for the cost of the appraisal.

If your claim is with your insurer, you may have the right to an appraisal if your policy
includes an appraisal provision. Your insurer must reimburse your reasonable
appraisal costs if the final appraised value is greater than the insurer’s last offer. This
provision applies to all new policyholders on or after January 1, 2010 and to current
policyholders upon the first renewal of their policy that occurs on or after January 1,
2010. Ask your claims adjuster or the Insurance Division for more information.

Lowball offers from CCC One are more common than you may think. In the case of Buratovich v. Farmers Insurance, documents obtained during discovery, reflected that Farmers Insurance had selected CCC One solely due to it’s evaluations having the lowest payout in regards to a Total Loss Claim. CCC has also recently come under fire in Georgia where consumer advocates claim they have substantially lower valuations than other companies.If your car, truck, RV, motorcycle, or other wheeled vehicle has been totaled, before you accept the insurance company’s total loss offer, you should speak to an Auto Appraiser.

There have also been several Class Action Lawsuits filed regarding Mitchell / J. D. Powers and Associates Total Loss Valuation Methods. This valuation has been involved in several cases where consumers have sought class action lawsuits against State Farm and Progressive for using Mitchell and J.D. Powers valuations.

My first car and my first car accident. My Kia had 10 more years in her, and Ken made sure I got paid for those years by negotiating for $3K more on my reimbursement. He's timely, he's communicative, he's clear about what details can help or hinder your case, and it was real nice talking with him. As of now, my only loss was my stickers.

Ken Nix amazed me with his positivity and his results. Not only did he make the appraisal process quick and easy -- he also made it profitable. I love a good win-win-win! My 2017 Rav4 SE hybrid ended up being totaled after we were rear-ended. I loved that car and it only had 85k miles on it. Most of all I loved its 2 tone cinnamon interior -- very rare! State Farm's appraisal suspiciously did not use the same model car as mine and the averages just did not average out, so I contacted Ken. In exactly one week he delivered an appraisal that was $1833 higher than the initial offer! There is absolutely no reason NOT to contact Ken at Leverage Auto Appraisals. He does admirable work and you will never regret it! Insurance company: STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANIES Vehicle: 2017 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid Insurance offer: $22,217.00 Final settlement: $24,050.00 Increase: $1,833.00 (+8.3%)

I can't give more than 5 stars, but i would if I could. Our 2002 ford f350 super duty with the 7.3 engine was stolen. We knew within 2 hours of it missing. Called cops, they did a report, daughters and myself flooded social media with pictures. We've lived in our town for 35 years. We owned the truck 21 years in this town. We got over 10,000 shares in 36 hours! Well truck was returned trashed! Insurance did their "appraisal" and offered us $12,108. Well we know what we had before it was stolen. I told them I would not accept their offer. So I called a personal appraiser LEVERAGE AUTO APPRAISALS out of the Portland Oregon area. Oh boy am I glad I did! Ken Nix what an amazing man. Very professional. He told me he could get me at least 10k more than their offer. We talked for a long time, I sent him everything I had, plus before and after pics of our truck. Boy within a week, he worked his magic and got us 10+ K additional. Boy am I glad a called that guy!! I highly highly recommend calling him if you feel insurance is being less than fair. He will be straight forward with you, if he can't help, he will tell you that right up front. No games with Ken. Thank you Ken, you are an amazing man and we appreciate you!

I cannot express how HIGHLY I recommend Ken at Leverage Auto Appraisals. He was up front with me when I first contacted him, even before hiring him, on what I should expect throughout the process and what his thoughts were on my appraisal / valuation. He gave detailed information to back up his claims and why he'd fight for me. Ken delivered on his valuation and his hard work showed! Here are the details of my appraisal: Insurance company: STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANIES Vehicle: 2023 Toyota Tundra 4WD Limited Insurance offer: $46,933.00 Final settlement: $50,000.00 Increase: $3,067.00 (+6.5%)
When we didn’t see eye to eye with the insurance company on the value of our totaled vehicle, Leverage Auto Appraisals fought for us and got us over $4,000.00 more than what the insurance company was trying to pay us (plus a refund of his fee). Ken is experienced and knowledgeable about the industry, and he’s a pleasure to work with. He truly made it a painless process.

I’m so glad I found Ken at Leverage Auto Appraisals! My insurance company's offer for my truck was so low, I knew that it wouldn’t come close to being able to replace it with something comparable. Ken responded quickly, reviewed my valuation, and took on the appraisal process. He was honest about what he thought he could accomplish without making promises. The final settlement was an increase of 149.4%! I’m in Bend, and working with Ken was absolutely worth it. Having someone knowledgeable handle the valuation dispute was such a relief and the results basically speak for themselves. If you’re questioning your insurance company’s total-loss offer, I highly recommend reaching out to him. Thank you, Ken!

my local sm town agent found Ken with Leverage Auto Appraisals , online 3 mo. ago just after my jeep was hit and i was getting bullied and terribly abused by 2 insur. co's claims adjusters. . Ken was super knowledgeable, honest and caring and gave me alot of hope and support from day 1. ; he explained what's really going on in my case, like Insur co's: --data manipulation, how co's rush customers aggressively into accepting very low car value, slapping on their vehicle a salvage 'tot loss' title unfairly, such BS. ...the insur co's are not telling the drivers about the "more options" legal rights they have when cornered to just accept ' a tot loss title ' or to invoke the appraisal clause." Ken is a brilliant sharp very experienced auto appraiser and negotiator. He is super strong in character, trustworthy and super confident, finally after he came to help me i could finally get some rest, sleep better, let go of so much pressure and harassment . Ken is honest resilient and just took over like a massive warrior protecting me against the insur co. ( I was overwhelmed and feeling lost --July car accident: the driver that hit my jeep resisted to report it to her insur co State Farm then lied blaming me upon which they closed my claim case instantly with no proof from her. I had lots of proof and reports. then I had to get my new co. Lib. Mutual involved and a Candace O. claims adjuster, has been nonstop manipulative, a liar aggressive and unprofessional, worst exper. ever. since day 1 she has used incorrect data to rush me to accept $4300 and a Salvage or tot loss title. I was so upset and shocked! my jeep was in top shape, super nice before this minor accident - estim to fix it 2700+-) ken said he would definitely succeed in getting me more $$. and he did. Finally Lib mutual settled with ken (almost 3 mo later) he got me 7k, orig Insurance Offer: $4,361.88 Settlement: $7,000.00 Increase: $2,638.12 I highly recommend KEN, he is so sharp, highly intelligent and thorough like an 'einstein' and a lawyer in one. . dedicated to truth and doing the best he can for his clients. I am very grateful and respect him highly! I wish him all the best, thank you Ken.

Ken was a great relief to me. I did not have to worry about anything. Ken just handled it. My 4Runner was rear ended and because it was so old the insurance company immediately totaled it. They offered me originally $9200 ish I said no and they upped the offer to $9,722. I let Ken do his thing and he ended up with a settlement for $13,250. Unfortunately this is not my first wreck. I know they’re several “wanna be” appraisers out there. Ken is one of the good guys. Thank you Ken.

I cannot recommend Ken enough. I reached out to him after weeks of dealing with Progressive over the total loss of my 4Runner and feeling like I was constantly getting different answers, changing numbers, and being pushed toward a settlement that did not accurately reflect the value of my vehicle. From the beginning, Ken was incredibly easy to work with. He listened to what had happened, explained the appraisal process in a way that actually made sense, and took the time to properly account for my vehicle and the things Progressive had overlooked. Most importantly, he advocated for me when I felt like I was fighting a huge insurance company by myself. Ken successfully got the value of my 4Runner increased, but what impressed me even more was that his support didn't end once the appraisal was completed. He has continued to answer my questions and help me navigate Progressive and the final settlement process. After everything I had gone through with this claim, having someone knowledgeable in my corner who genuinely cared about getting a fair outcome made such a difference. Ken didn't let Progressive steamroll me, and I am incredibly grateful I found him. If you're dealing with a total loss and feel like your insurance company is undervaluing your vehicle, call Ken. Seriously. Having someone who knows this process and is willing to stand up for you is worth every penny. Thank you, Ken, for not only getting me a better and fairer value for my 4Runner, but for continuing to have my back through the entire process.
