Helping insurance companies keep their promises...one claim at a time.

Raymond Christopher Choate

Construction experience includes 23 years of working in the field including new construction and remodeling of commercial buildings, multi-family homes and single family homes, from minor repairs to complete ground up new construction.

In 2001 I started Choate Custom Homes where we specialized in building new custom homes in the North Texas market. In 2005, I became a licensed insurance adjuster and in 2006 I became a licensed insurance agent. Since 2005 I have been heavily involved in adjusting, inspecting, photographing and estimating damaged properties throughout the United States. I have inspected and adjusted properties at various levels of the market for both property owners and insurance carriers. I have received extensive training from Allstate and Pilot Catastrophe Services in analyzing wind, hail and water losses. I have inspected and adjusted well over 3500 properties during my career documenting wind, hail, and water damage and the effects of that damage on the various building materials.

My extensive construction and insurance background allows me to easily navigate through the insurance claim and repair process to properly address each loss on its own merits.  This experience allows me to seamlessly participate in insurance claim consulting and adjustment as well as the appraisal process, for both my corporate clients as well as individuals.
