Places of Worship Remote Appraisal
We are expert church appraisers who perform church appraisals on hundreds of properties throughout North America each and every year. This remote service is a strategic combination of telephone, internet, fax and direct mail. We gather comprehensive interior and exterior information about places of worship from the most reliable source: the trustees or church members.
By knowing the "right" questions to ask and how to ask them Lewin, Wright & Company can provide accurate valuations quickly and inexpensively for a universe of properties or a single place of worship of any size. Once accurate internal and external characteristics of the building are obtained, a risk specific valuation is calculated using specialized software and a comprehensive replacement cost database. All results are reviewed under the strictest quality control standards.
Once completed a CARES report can be re-valued automatically so that new coverage limits reflect specific structures, not broad-based generic factors that have nothing to do with the individual risk insured.
This approach to estimating church replacement costs is simpler, more precise and provides a greater degree of ongoing consistency and accuracy.
How It Works
You can order the CARES program from this web site, or by our toll free number. Once payment is received for the CARES program we will send out our data input (click link to see sample form)package complete with instructions. The CARES program also comes with toll free technical support. If during the data collection process you are not sure or have a question about some aspect of the data your are collecting just give us a call and we will walk you through the process.
When the CARES input forms are received in our office we will review them for completeness, if there are any questions we will contact you for clarification. Once the review process is complete we will calculate the replacement cost new of your church using specialized software and a comprehensive replacement cost database.
