Independent Diminished Value Appraisals in Florida
We specialize in one thing: diminished value.
Precision DV is an independent, owner-operated diminished value appraisal practice serving Florida vehicle owners and attorneys. Every report uses independent market analysis to evaluate and document any loss in vehicle value following an accident.
About the Owner
15 Years of Insurance Claims Experience
I'm Michael DeMauro, owner of Precision DV. I bring 15 years of experience handling, evaluating, and managing insurance claims, with a background spanning insurance carriers and government risk management.
Throughout my career, I've evaluated vehicle damage claims and seen firsthand how insurance companies assess losses, review documentation, and determine claim values. That experience gives me a unique perspective on what makes an appraisal thorough, credible, and well-supported.
I started Precision DV to put that knowledge to work for vehicle owners and attorneys. My reports are built around actual market comparables, documented adjustments, and clear valuation analysis. The goal is simple: provide an independent appraisal backed by evidence, not just a number generated by software.
Precision DV focuses exclusively on diminished value, with reports built using real market data and claim-specific analysis.
Who We Are
A Focused Practice. A Single Specialty.
Unlike general appraisers who handle a range of vehicle-related services, Precision DV focuses exclusively on diminished value. This is the documented reduction in a vehicle's resale market value following an accident, even after complete repairs.
This singular focus means our methodology is refined, our comparable research is thorough, and our reports are built to support your claim with the insurance company.
We serve vehicle owners and attorneys across all 67 Florida counties, providing independent appraisals with a documented, market-supported conclusion.
Our Methodology
Market-Based. Transparent. Independent.
Our appraisal methodology is grounded in real-world comparable market data rather than proprietary software or an unverifiable formula.
We identify vehicles comparable to yours in year, make, model, trim, mileage, and condition, then compare identical vehicles with clean titles against those with accident history. The resulting price difference, adjusted for market variables, is the documented diminished value.
This approach produces a transparent, line-by-line appraisal that shows our reasoning at every step.
