The Award Review Process
Send your award to the opposing appraiser for review before signatures.
You think you have a deal. The opposing appraiser nodded on the phone, agreed on the dwelling number, and said the contents figure "works." But verbal agreement is not the same as a signed award. If you draft the award letter, send it for signatures, and then the other side comes back with "wait, that is not what I agreed to," you have wasted a signing cycle and the relationship gets prickly.
The Award Review step is a soft handshake before the hard one. You send a simple Agree-or-Decline page with every line item laid out. They click, you see their response, and only then does the formal signature flow begin. If something is off, they tell you in writing before the document is locked, and you fix it without burning a SignWell envelope or starting an awkward "can we void this?" thread.
This is most useful when you are working with an opposing appraiser you do not know well, or on a larger award where mistakes are expensive, or any time you want documented agreement in the file before you involve signatures.
