Appraisal (Risk Consulting) is a critical service that we provide for our personal lines’ insureds. Our Risk Consultants have a unique opportunity to conduct on-site inspections of some of the most architecturally significant residential properties in the country. During these visits you will be expected to identify and assess policyholder vulnerability to a variety of threats and then develop a customized plan for reducing the potential for loss. Additionally, you will be evaluating all structures on the property and establishing a pre-loss estimate for replicating their features.

Additional Risk Consultant responsibilities include:

• Conducting a specified number of inspections each month and routinely contributing to the profitability of the business;
• Balancing this productivity with adherence to time service and product quality measurements;
• Serve as a technical resource for our underwriting team on a range of personal security, loss prevention and collections management issues;
• This expertise is conveyed to our policyholders and agents on-site and through successful execution of our personalized risk engineering and consultative based reporting services after each visit;
• As a Risk Consultant you will be entrusted with immediate authority, work autonomously, and be directly accountable for your work product, all within the collaborative framework of a growing, stable and highly successful organization.
