• Proven Deal Maker: Minimum 7+ years of experience in single-family residential land acquisition with a track record of successfully acquiring land.
• Market Knowledge & Network: Deep understanding of land opportunities within your markets with strong industry relationships.

• Strategic & Hands-On: A mix of big-picture thinking and tactical execution, with the ability to roll up your sleeves and drive opportunities to execution.

• Growth-Oriented: Committed to continuous learning and professional development in the evolving land development space.
