Dear not wrecked yet

1. Go westy offers an appraisal
2. There are others who do the same thing - offer written appraisals-
3. Do not lie to insurance co just to get reduced rates -
4. Get insurance co to write policy on agreed values as stated by appraisal

Shop around - and around -
The guy who is selling you insurance may not actually be the underwriter -
Ask that question --

Caution - do not buy policy written for stated value - on stated value you
pay premiums for what you said -- they pay out on what they say

Good luck 🍀
