Right-of-Way & Eminent Domain
Public agencies, utilities and property owners rely on our valuations when land is acquired for public use. The practice is led by an MAI with the Right of Way Appraisal Certification, and our assignments meet the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions when a project requires them.
-
Full and partial acquisitions for highway, transit, utility and other public projects, including before-and-after analysis of damages and benefits to the remainder.
-
Permanent and temporary easements for utility, pipeline, transmission, access and construction purposes.
-
Technical reviews of acquisition appraisals for agencies and property owners, under USPAP and applicable agency and federal standards.
-
Expert testimony and litigation support in condemnation proceedings, built on the same standards as the original appraisal.
