Think of us as your “outsourced Director of Land Acquisition.” We will investigate purchases and perform due-diligence by visiting the site and reviewing the zoning implications. We can represent the smaller developer who may not have the capacity to hire a full-time land acquisition person. We fill this void by either negotiating new purchases or by assisting with an assemblage or relocation that may be stalling your current project. We also provide preliminary cost estimates.
