Mortgage Financing
Whether you are purchasing, refinancing or tapping into your home’s equity, our appraisal services can help you and your lender determine the market value of your home in a fast and efficient manner. We work with hundreds of lenders from across the country and all of our appraisers are licensed by the state of Texas as well as FHA certified by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Tax Appeals and Disputes
Each year the county appraisal districts tend to raise the tax values on real estate higher and higher, leaving many people facing inflated tax bills. With our help, we can accurately place a value on your home that will not only assist with the current year’s taxes, but for all future years as well.
PMI Removal
Many times when a home is financed with less than 20% equity, the lender will require a type of insurance known as Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI. Over time the value of your home may appreciate. Couple this appreciation with your monthly payments and your overall equity in the home may be at or above the required 20%. At this point canceling the PMI is just a matter of submitting an appraisal that reflects this. For instance, if your home is worth $200,000 and you only owe $160,000, you are now below the 80% threshold and most likely eligible to remove your PMI.
Estate / Divorce Proceedings
Unfortunate circumstances sometimes require that the value of a piece of real estate be decided for legal matters such as divorce, separation or estate planning. In these times you want an accurate appraisal that reflects the true current market value of the real estate.
Listing Appraisals
Whether you are a homeowner attempting to sell your house by yourself, or you are a Realtor looking to have an expert opinion of a home’s value, at Choice Point we can provide you a solid appraisal on any residential property. Likewise, an objective opinion can be a valuable tool when negotiating with prospective buyers and sellers.
Investment Properties
Whether you are looking to purchase a foreclosed property, renovating a classic Heights bungalow or just thinking of purchasing rental property our appraisal services can be highly instrumental in helping you decide the true value of your investment.
Appraisal Reviews
Often times lenders will request that another appraiser review the work of his peers. We are pleased to be an objective party when called upon for such services.
Insurance Purposes
The market value of real estate sometimes comes into question when insuring property. Once again we can provide a sound value for purposes of assessing a reasonable insured value.
Commercial Real Estate
Our commercial appraisal experience spans the spectrum of property types and includes apartments, office buildings, industrial buildings, mobile home parks, residential subdivisions, retail buildings and shopping centers.
