Stateside Right of Way is a certified Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) by the state of Texas and a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE/WBE) by the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency. Stateside was established in Dallas, Texas, and we’ve managed and worked many high-profile road, transportation and utility projects across the state.
Our goals are to manage land acquisition programs in accordance with the highest professional standards, to work conscientiously to minimize the stress on everyone involved in the process – from public agency personnel, to those who must sell their property or relocate for the benefit of the general public – while at the same time respecting our fiduciary duties in the use of public funds.
We are extremely proud of our low condemnation rate. Our agents use a variety of techniques to acquire property – each designed specifically to the parcel, the owner and the issues at hand. We’ve found that an informed landowner is typically a more cooperative landowner, so communication is key to keeping all parties moving in the same direction. We believe that kindness and listening can solve many landowner issues.
Stateside has made and maintained long-term relationships with many of our clients over the years due to our professionalism, ability to deliver a high-quality product while maintaining a positive public image, and ability to stay on or ahead of schedule. Staying on schedule is very important to us and we achieve this in several ways, by:

She has an outstanding track record of putting together remarkable teams who work well together for the success of the project. Our team has combined right of way experience of more than 100 years, and we take great pride in our strongest asset, our right of way staff.
