A right-of-way agent negotiates property rights for government or private industries, estimating property values and communicating with project managers. They work with engineers, surveyors, and scientists to survey the property and must have good communication skills and knowledge of legal issues.
A right-of-way agent works to obtain property rights from owners for use in government or private industries. Their job is to negotiate the purchase of a property or reach an agreement so that the entity can use the property for its specific needs. In addition to negotiations, a right-of-way agent works with a variety of other professionals, including engineers, surveyors and scientists to survey the property. Other duties of a right-of-way agent include estimating property values, going to court if an agreement cannot be reached, and communicating with project managers.
Right-of-way agents must go to different properties to assess how much money a piece of land is worth. They do this by researching nearby land prices, as well as looking into the specific properties of the land they are interested in buying. At that time, they communicate information to the person or organization interested in acquiring the land, to find out how much money they are willing to offer. If the land is too expensive, the ticketing agent may be asked to find different land that can be purchased at a better price.
If a buyer needs a specific property, it is the duty of the passage agent to negotiate the price with the landowner. This sometimes occurs when land is being used for government purposes, such as building a new road, and must be done in a specific location. The right-of-way agent offers a fair price for the land based on the research he or she has previously completed. It may be necessary for a right-of-way agent to work with others to obtain the price, so engineers, surveyors and property appraisers are sometimes asked to help provide information about land value.
It is important for a right-of-way agent to have good communication skills because he or she works with many different people on a daily basis. Communicating with landlords, managing entities wishing to buy real estate and other trained professionals is one of the main tasks of the job. Knowledge of legal issues is also important, as an individual undertaking this work must be able to handle deed and title transfers, zoning, and construction that occur on the property.
