Condemnation – Eminent Domain

When the State of Texas, a local government body, or a statutory authority is exercising the power of eminent domain to take or condemn a property – whether for an easement, right-of-way, redevelopment or any other scenario – there is typically a need for condemnation appraisal services.

Impacted property owners often obtain an independent and unbiased appraisal in order to verify the fairness of the initial offer put forth by the condemning authority. Independent valuation addresses property-specific features, real estate market conditions, highest and best use considerations and other value drivers that will result in fair market value of the property.
