Start an Assignment Call 901-289-7834RiskAxis Solutions serves Olive Branch, Mississippi and DeSoto County as an independent property insurance appraiser and umpire. One of the fastest-growing cities in Mississippi, Olive Branch has seen major residential and industrial growth — and with it, a rising volume of property claims that sometimes deadlock on the amount of loss.
Olive Branch's large distribution and warehouse footprint sits alongside newer subdivisions, so disputes range from single-family roof and water claims to commercial and industrial losses. The DeSoto County market shares Memphis's exposure to wind, hail, and severe spring storms. When the parties can't agree on damages, scope, or pricing, we resolve it through the appraisal process, on the merits.
Being minutes away from our Memphis base means quick local inspections; remote estimating and review are available where the file allows.

In Olive Branch we work everything from single-family wind, hail, and roof claims to commercial and industrial losses across the area's large warehouse and distribution base. Scope and pricing on newer and large-footprint construction is a frequent point of dispute — where certified estimating and building-consulting credentials on the panel earn their keep. Drone and thermal documentation available.
Counsel evaluating an appraisal file needs a technical appraiser who can separate estimate noise from the real amount-of-loss issues. RiskAxis organizes disputed scope, repair method, quantities, pricing, photos, reports, and Xactimate line items into positions that can be reviewed, challenged, and explained without turning the assignment into a coverage opinion.
When appraisers, counsel, or a court need a neutral umpire candidate, RiskAxis starts with conflicts, role discipline, and the appraisal clause. The umpire work is limited to damages, repair scope, methodology, quantities, and price. Coverage, liability, policy interpretation, and legal entitlement stay outside the assignment.
CV, fee schedule, availability, inspection plan, and document requests are handled early so the panel can move. The goal is a clean amount-of-loss record: what is agreed, what remains disputed, what evidence supports each position, and what number the supported repair requires.
RiskAxis Solutions does not sell insurance. Appraisal and umpire assignments address amount of loss under the applicable policy process. RiskAxis does not provide legal advice, interpret insurance coverage, or render coverage opinions. Coverage and legal questions belong with qualified coverage counsel, the insurer, or the appropriate licensed insurance professional.
Appraiser and umpire work in Olive Branch addresses amount of loss only — damages, repair scope, methodology, quantities, and pricing. Advocacy is for accurate damages and proper repairs, never for a party.
