(HIG) helps our clients limit their liability by providing them with relevant, cost-effective historical property use information and current environmental data. HIG’s products are used nationwide for commercial real estate environmental risk assessments and due diligence, transportation and energy planning, brownfield assessments, urban planning and legal proceedings. Our offerings include city directory research, historical aerial photographs, topographic maps, fire insurance maps and real estate atlases, georeferenced aerial photographs and maps, area-wide brownfield assessment tools, local property record reviews, environmental lien/activity use limitation searches, chain of title reports and regulatory database reports.

We give you more information presented in an easy-to-use way so that you can spend your time advising your client rather than searching for your site on maps that don't match in size or layout.

HIG always strives to give you the most information available so you have the most accurate picture to give your client.
