Just what is our story? We are about the Land...its use, its changes, its re-use. Keeping it in its highest and best use for its owner!
It all starts out as a land rush and an area is settled, then farmed, and then it becomes an undeveloped tract...over time things change. The farm is sold and subdivided into smaller lots. Various companies need access for electric lines or roads, pipelines or fiber for phones. If you are really lucky, oil and gas or other minerals are found which means wells need to be drilled and transportation lines installed. Then development pushes in on you, zoning changes, taxes rise, a cell site needs to go in, then water and sewer lines.
James C Karo Associates has been a part of these changes in land use, working from the Mississippi River to the California coast, for major companies and landowners alike. As Landmen, we know the ropes, the regulations, the process and the players. The West has continued to grow in boom and bust cycles which has allowed us to keep our skill set diversified, sharp and expansive.
We buy oil and gas leases for oil companies, tracts of land for subdivision developers, run title and interpret ownership, acquire rights of way, easements and cell tower sites, we route pipelines and acquire land for facilities, both big and small. Sometimes we even design and build those facilities too! Our clients have an idea...a business model they trust, and we do the foundational work to make their plan a reality. Call us today, you will be amazed at what we can do for you!
