Just to let you know, I work for a company called Environmental Group Services Limited, (EGSL). We have been around for over 25 years at this point. I have been in the industry here in Chicago for just over eight years. By now I have a pretty good handle on things and can answer pretty much any question when it comes to contaminated property, and developing a strategy to minimize the impact on the property owner or purchaser of land. As a licensed Realtor I also have a pretty good handle on real estate transactions and how they tie into environmental due diligence and how environmental issues can affect the financing of deals.
We work alot with banks and other lenders to reassure and protect them of environmental liability.
We also work a lot with sellers of property, especially when a seller has not been able to sell their land due to contamination.
Alot of property owners think that we are the EPA when we show up to their sites. If a client has an accountant, that is more similar to our relationship, the IEPA is our IRS, we are the environmental equivalent of accountants, with a bit more humor.
