My people can handle this. Why do I need to hire Martyn?
A move to make way for a public project may seem like it’s a simple thing. But when you learn what the process entails and how many hours of staff time t will involve, it makes more sense to leave it to a professional, someone who knows how to navigate the system. Martyn will save you time, money, and stress by finding you the right relocation property or helping you develop the best plan to minimize the impact of a project on your business’s bottom line.

How much is it going to cost me out-of-pocket to hire Martyn?
Hiring Martyn will put you ahead of the game. Most, if not all, of his fees are fully reimbursable under state eminent domain guidelines. Martyn’s business clinets have found over and over again that his investigations usually uncover more expenses they should rightfully be compensated for, so you get more money back than they would have.

The public agency’s relocation agent seems knowledgable and willing to help. Can Martyn really do any more for me and my business?
Relocation agents are normally friendly, capable people. But they do not necessarily have your best interests of your business at heart. The agent’s goals are to move your business off the right-of-way, advise you on the basic eligible benefits, and help you file your claims. Making your business whole again is not one of those goals. Martyn can help you avoid The Top 10 Eminent Domain Business Relocation Mistakes, saving you time, money and unnecessary headaches.

The relocation guidelines look fairly simple. Why would I need a consultant?
A successful relocation involves going beyond the parameters of the basic guidelines. It requires extensive knowledge of business operations, budgeting for cost reimbursements, scheduling, developing property leases, building and site design, construction, and a whole lot more. A good eminent domain consultant will help you make full use of your relocation benefits, in a way that makes a positive impact on your business’ continued success.

I have plenty of time. Why don’t wait and see if I need Martyn when it gets closer to the move?
This is one of the biggest mistakes businesses make in an eminent domain situation. When you make the move in emergency mode, there is no time for planning a strategy and you will likely just get minimal reimbursement. If you contact Martyn in time, you’ll have a better chance of getting every allowable expense you deserve.
