• Assist in multiple stages of the acquisition process including feasibility reviews, offer letters, negotiations, contract execution, due diligence, third-party coordination, and transaction timelines.
• Engage with a wide range of stakeholders — brokers, developers, investors, attorneys, consultants, and public officials — representing the company with professionalism and insight.
• Collaborate with HOAs and maintain accurate records of all land-related activity.
• Keep detailed and organized land files, spreadsheets, and databases to track acquisition progress and position status.
