Land Brokerage
We are expert real estate brokers with a singular focus on residential land. From raw unapproved tracts to finished vacant lots, our team has brokered, developed or advised clients on more than ten thousand residential homesites.

We have long relationships with buyers of land such as local and national homebuilders, land developers, and land conservancies throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.  We are leaders in regional homebuilding organizations,  The Urban Land Institute , The Congress for New Urbanism, and other industry and advocacy groups committed to the responsible development of land.  We also have long relationships with  owners of land such as families, lenders, and not-for-profit institutions.

Land is a complicated real estate asset that demands specialized brokerage expertise.  We understand the arduous process of approving land developments.  We understand that land value is a residual value derived from land use rights and improvements costs.  From securing wastewater permits to value-engineering proposed highway improvements to building support from local citizen groups, we understand the land development process because we have lived it, as brokers, developers, and advisors.

Advisory Services
Through our affiliate Arcadia Development Services we deliver a range of land consulting services for clients prior to marketing. Our mission is to enhance the value of our client's real property assets by creating and implementing market-driven and fact-based development strategies.

Our advisory work typically follows a three-party framework: project assessment, value preservation, and recovery.

We normally begin our consulting services with a Project Assessment, a comprehensive due diligence investigation that documents a property’s status, its land development approvals and agency permits. We perform an in-depth market study, estimate likely improvement costs and determine a proposal’s land residual.  The second stage, Value Preservation, is where we attempt to maintain the current value of the property by preventing the loss of valuable development rights (e.g., Township approvals, PNDI clearances) or the creation of expensive new liabilities (e.g., damage to public improvements, fines for permit non-compliance) that cost money and erode the property’s marketability. Finally, the Recovery stage is about disposition strategy: how to recover the greatest value, in the shortest period of time, for our client.

Lender Representation


Based upon the due diligence and lender input, we will prepare a custom marketing plan that suits the lender’s preference for amount of capital recovery, timing of capital recovery, and tolerance of development risk. The target buyers, the marketing channels, and even listing prices will vary depending upon these preferences. There is no one-size fits all approach to the disposition of distressed land.
