Specialized Insurance Support Services
Certified comparative rental market analysis for property loss addresses — establishing the fair rental value of the displaced homeowner’s residence and identifying verified luxury replacement housing in the current market.
A Fair Rental Value (FRV) report is a formal comparative market analysis conducted by a licensed real estate broker that establishes the current market rental value of a property — specifically used in the context of insurance claims to determine the appropriate ALE (Additional Living Expenses) housing benefit for a displaced policyholder.
When a homeowner is displaced by a covered loss, their insurance carrier is required to provide ALE coverage for temporary housing that is comparable to their primary residence. A Fair Rental Value report provides the documented evidence that establishes what that comparable replacement housing should cost in the current rental market.

A certified Fair Rental Value report gives you the documented market evidence to support your client's ALE housing claim — establishing that the current replacement housing cost is reasonable, market-supported, and aligned with your client's pre-loss standard of living. Strengthen your claim file with independent licensed broker analysis.
Establish a defensible, market-supported ALE budget for high-value policyholders with confidence. Our Fair Rental Value reports provide independent third-party documentation from licensed real estate brokers — reducing disputes, accelerating settlement, and providing a clear basis for ALE housing cost determinations on complex luxury property claims.
If you believe your ALE housing benefit does not reflect the true rental market value of your home, a Fair Rental Value report provides the independent licensed broker analysis needed to document your position. Essential for coverage disputes, bad faith claims, and litigation support involving ALE housing benefits.
Sample Report Summary
* This is an illustrative example only. Actual report values vary based on property characteristics and current market conditions at the time of the report.
A Fair Rental Value determination is not a Google search or an online estimate. It is a formal market analysis conducted by a licensed real estate professional with direct access to active listing data, recent lease transactions, and current market conditions in the specific submarket of the loss property.
Licensed brokers have direct access to MLS data, active luxury rental listings, and recent lease transaction records — the actual data that establishes what comparable properties are leasing for right now in the specific market where the loss occurred.
Selecting valid comparables requires professional judgment — adjusting for differences in size, location, finish quality, and amenities. A licensed broker applies the same methodology used in formal appraisal and market analysis to ensure the comparables are genuinely similar to the loss property.
A report signed and certified by a licensed real estate broker carries professional weight in claim negotiations, coverage disputes, and litigation. It is not an opinion — it is a documented market analysis from a licensed professional that can be presented to carriers, arbitrators, and courts.

Complete the request form below with the loss property address, property details, and your relocation market. If you have an existing appraisal or prior market analysis include that information too.
Subject Property Analysis
Our licensed brokers analyze the loss property address — researching the neighborhood, property type, size, finish quality, and pre-loss rental market positioning to establish the subject property’s fair rental value.
Comparable Market Research
We identify 3 to 5 verified luxury rental comparables currently active or recently leased in the policyholder’s required relocation market — analyzing pricing, adjusting for differences, and establishing the current replacement rental market range.
Report Preparation & Delivery
We prepare a comprehensive written report documenting our analysis, methodology, comparables, and conclusions — signed and certified by a licensed real estate broker. Standard turnaround is 48 hours. Rush reports available within 24 hours.
To prepare a complete Fair Rental Value report we need the full loss property address, basic property details (bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and a general description of finishes and amenities), the policyholder’s preferred relocation market, and the required number of bedrooms in the replacement property. If you have photos of the loss property or a prior appraisal, those are helpful but not required.
A formal property appraisal establishes the market value of the property for sale or purchase purposes. A Fair Rental Value report specifically establishes the current rental market value of the property — what it would lease for on the open market today — and identifies comparable replacement rental properties in the required relocation area. They serve different purposes and are prepared using different methodologies, though both require licensed professional analysis.
Yes. Our reports are prepared and signed by licensed real estate brokers and document our methodology, data sources, comparable selection rationale, and conclusions in a format that can be submitted as evidence in coverage disputes, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. We are also available to provide expert testimony in support of our reports when required.
Rental markets can shift — particularly in high-demand luxury markets. If a significant amount of time passes between the report preparation and the actual placement, or if the adjuster or carrier requires updated data, we can prepare a revised report reflecting current market conditions. Contact us to discuss updated report pricing and turnaround.
Report pricing depends on the market, property complexity, and turnaround time required. Standard reports start at a flat fee with rush pricing available for 24-hour delivery. Contact us at 424-235-4468 or info@theluxrelo.com for current pricing — we provide a quote before you commit to anything.
