We are land acquisition and entitlement specialists.
We collaborate with landowners to make the selling process simple, understandable, and financially rewarding.
Where To Start
Owning valuable land should feel like an opportunity, not a burden, but the sheer number of options can feel overwhelming. It’s often hard to know where to start, what path to take, or how to analyze and compare the various options already in front of you.
Selling your property is more than a transaction; it is a major decision tied to financial goals, personal priorities, and long-term impact. We’ve found that most owners share a few common goals, priorities, and concerns when it comes to selling their property.
Common Landowner Priorities.
Reducing Time Commitment: Minimizing the time and effort required for the process.
Getting The Best Price: Achieving the highest possible price for your land.
Minimizing Closing Costs: Reducing fees and closing costs, so you keep more of your money.
Increasing Closing Confidence: Understanding what closing hurdles the buyer faces that could prevent a smooth closing.
Establishing Clear Timelines: Setting Clear timelines for the design and entitlement process and understanding what factors could impact them.
Securing Fair Compensation: Gaining assurance that if the deal falls through, you will receive fair compensation for the time and effort you invested in the process.
Sharing In Future Appreciation: Ensuring your property continues to work for you by retaining a share in future appreciation.
Protecting Your Legacy: Securing your family’s financial future and preserving your legacy through the sale and thoughtful development of your land.
A Simple Approach
The foundation of our approach is simplicity and alignment. We start by providing you with a clear, actionable offer right from the beginning. No vague “what ifs,” no uncertain “we mights,” and no time wasted. Just a straightforward offer for you to consider.
Next, we want to meet with you, ideally over a cup of coffee or a meal, to listen and learn what matters most to you.
Once we have a clear understanding of your priorities, we work closely with you to shape an agreement that achieves your goals and aligns our interests. In many cases, we use our unique Purchase-Partner structure to fully align our interests towards maximizing the value of your property through the entitlement process. (Please note that the Purchase-Partner option is not available for all properties.)
Throughout the process, we emphasize clear and proactive communication. Before entering into a contract, we will walk you through any potential entitlement challenges. Once under contract, we provide consistent monthly updates so you are always informed about our progress.
Even if we are ultimately unsuccessful in obtaining the necessary entitlements, we ensure the process still brings value to you. In addition to any cash you retain under the contract terms, we will provide a complete summary of all work done on your behalf including zoning research, platting progress, utility coordination, and any other development related approvals. You will also receive copies of surveys, engineering reports, and a list of all builders and developers we engaged with regarding your property.
