Right-Of-Way/Easement Appraisals
Highland, IL & Surrounding Towns
At DJ Howard & Associates Inc., we specialize in Right-of-Way and easement appraisals for accurate project assessments.
REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL
Our team of specialists in right-of-way and easement appraisal boasts extensive experience in conducting appraisals for acquisitions that vary from straightforward strip easements to complex partial takings. We have successfully completed hundreds of assignments for projects funded by federal, state, and local agencies. No matter the funding source or the intricacy of the assignment, we adhere to the Uniform Act, ensuring that our appraisals are crafted within the established guidelines—be it the Federal Land Acquisition “Yellow Book” standards or the Illinois and Missouri Land Acquisition Manuals.
APPRAISAL REVIEW
For us, the appraisal review is not merely a “rubber stamp” in the Land Acquisition/Easement process; instead, it acts as an important layer of assurance that the Uniform Act is adhered to, thereby safeguarding the project’s funding. Our aim as review appraisers is not to complicate the process with unnecessary details, but to ensure that the valuation process is robust, that we consider the critical aspects of the property both before and after the partial taking, and that the appraisal is thoroughly documented. We recognize the significance of the Appraisal Review, yet it is essential that this review is completed swiftly to avoid causing delays in the project.
NEGOTIATION
The negotiation phase of a project often proves to be the most time-consuming of all stages. By leveraging our expertise in the valuation process during negotiations, we empower property owners with a clearer insight into how their compensation offer was formulated. Demonstrating respect and professionalism towards property owners lays a strong foundation for fruitful negotiations.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Management is often an overlooked aspect of the entire process; however, it is crucial for transitioning a project from designs and blueprints to construction efficiently. Our extensive experience in evaluating large projects has led us to create a seamless administrative system that ensures every step of the process flows smoothly, without any interruptions. While it may appear straightforward, an effective project manager can significantly influence the success or failure of a project.
