Planning & Estimates

Involving a real estate professional early in your project planning process, when you anticipate that your project will require real estate, normally saves time, money, and headaches from complications as your project progresses. A consistent point of public contact for property owners and residents directly impacted by the proposed project is invaluable, from project inception to completion. This provides consistency in the dissemination of information, as well as giving the property acquisition and relocation agents the opportunity to get to know and develop rapport with those very important persons that your agency will be seeking agreements with in order for the project to progress with a minimum of conflict, political controversy, and litigation. Early involvement also allows you to proceed with realistic budget estimates and implementation schedules.
