THE MISSION
Public works teams, city and county maintenance crews, parks departments and local utilities - these are the designers and keepers of community.
Along the way, land and building needs become essential components in keeping these public missions thriving. For over two decades we've honed our brokerage craft toward understanding the inner workings of public agency boards and councils, their respective political pressures, funding constraints, environmental risks and due-diligence processes. In short, we sought to bring the rigor and technical expertise of the brokerage task to the spotlight of the public agency.
OUR SERVICES
In an increasingly complex, niche industry, a strategic, team-integrated knowledge of compliant and market savvy acquisition planning is rare. Our award winning team continues to meet the demand.
PUBLIC WORKS, UTILITY STATIONS AND OPERATIONS FACILITIES: SUPPORTING THE TEAMS THAT BUILD OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
Property searching for increased staffing needs, new neighborhood lift stations, maintenance shops - all have unique needs and risks. Whether your site is being funded by WSDOT or through local or federal funds, or whether you're building from vacant land or chasing down leads from unlisted properties - you need local experts that understand your agency's timelines, constraints and objectives.
SCHOOLS AND PARKS: SECURING THE SITES THAT CREATE OUR COMMUNITIES
School and park acquisitions are unique as neighborhood safety, transportation access and economic demographics each play a critical role in the search process. A well-connected, local brokerage that can communicate the vision to stakeholders, boards and councils is essential in getting a property acquisition across the finish line.
TRANSPORTATION, AVIATION AND TRANSIT: LEADING THE WSDOT OR FEDERAL FUNDING CERTIFICATION OBJECTIVE
Our wheelhouse. Building and managing acquisition and relocation programs, negotiating and securing property rights and managing complaints, claims and construction easements through project completion. We'll set the program up to mitigate schedule delays, stay within the federal and state guidelines, and represent your agency with care and professionalism to the affected public. Over 2,000 settled negotiations and 25 years experience in - we'll be cutting the ribbon with you.
WHY GOODMAN STRATH?
Partners in building sustainable communities.
Every local agency has its own unique challenges and constraints. We believe in the necessity of asking the right questions and getting to the bottom of each risk and concern that stands in the way of accomplishing the acquisition objective. It's what we call the Partnership Directive, and it gets to the heart of what we understand an agency advisor to be.
