ACQUISTION
Our skilled negotiators can acquire easements, supplemental easements and any other agreements required for your project. We can complete the entire process from start to finish or just handle the parts you need help with. We can also acquire fee parcels if necessary.
ROUTE SELECTION ASSISTANCE
We can assist in selecting a route for your project by analyzing land values, parcel size, congestion and other factors that may influence the project.
TITLE WORK
Whether you need to simply identify landowners affected by a project, or you need a full title search identifying mortgages, liens encumbrances and easements on parcels affected by your project, Midwest can handle all your title needs.
PERMITS
We can obtain permits required by public agencies, governmental bodies, municipalities, railroads and others.
DOCUMENT PREPARATION
Our agents can prepare all documents needed for a project, allowing your staff to concentrate on more pressing issues.
LANDOWNER CONTACTS
Companies find that projects proceed more smoothly when the affected landowners are made aware of the plans. With many landowners only available in the evening, or not living on the property, it is difficult for any already busy staff to make the contacts. We can identify and notify landowners, and provide contact reports detailing the conversations and any special conditions to be aware of.
