What is Right-of-Way Acquisition
Right-of-way acquisition is an activity handled through a licensed real estate agent to conduct several processes with a property owner before another entity can acquire it. Some of those activities include title review, land rights review, determination of just compensation, cost estimating, valuation, appraisal, eminent domain support, closing coordination and relocation assistance. Meridian simplifies the acquisition process with document preparation for distribution of affected landowners who may even need to relocate due to being displaced because of a project needing the property for right-of-way.
What does acquisition mean in real estate?
Today, most acquisitions are fee-based, and land is purchased to complete a project that impacts an owner of property. For example, one of the most common acquisitions is widening a roadway. To start the acquisition process, public meetings, meetings with officials, and meetings with landowners are crucial so property owners are informed of the coming changes. Meridian Engineering’s qualified real estate agent is armed with the proper knowledge of Right-of-Way Acquisition standards as it pertains to the consistency in applying state and federal code and, in addition, understanding the fundamental mediating factors required to manage and create trust with property owners. Bestowing respect is vital in maintaining good public relations, Meridian’s real estate personnel offers compassion and expertise ensuring relationship growth with each property owner and their community.
