The property insurance appraisal process has become an interesting dynamic. Somewhere along the way, labeling of appraisers included the term "opposing", i.e. "opposing appraiser" or "OA". "Oppose" is defined as: "Disapprove of and attempt to prevent, especially by argument; actively resist or refuse to comply with (a person or system); compete against (someone) in a contest." While there are bound to be certain disagreements between appraisers, how nice would it be for appraisers to drop their biases, approach with the impartiality and objectivity the process requires, and work alongside each other through competent consideration. Not to "win" or to "lose", but rather to simply establish a fair, accurate, and just settlement.
