Our Proven Marketing Strategy
The Postcard That Works: After 20 years of testing, we’ve found that simple, consistent direct mail to out-of-state landowners remains the most effective method. When life changes occur – parents pass away, tax bills become burdensome, or maintenance becomes overwhelming – property owners remember our consistent presence.
Long-Term Relationship Building: We maintain contact for 2-3 years with property owners, understanding that timing is everything. When they’re ready to sell, we’re the natural choice.
Builder-Focused Approach: 90% of our vacant land buyers are seasoned builders and investors who need quick decisions and clear information. No emotional appeals – just facts, numbers, and opportunities.
Cape Coral Development Expertise
Unit-Specific Knowledge: We maintain detailed databases of Cape Coral’s development units, tracking ownership patterns, development history, and future potential. When builders target specific areas like Units 67 and 69, we’re ready with comprehensive owner lists and market data.
Cycle Timing: Understanding that we’re currently finishing a boom cycle with numerous unfinished spec homes, we’re positioning for the next development wave in 3-4 years when builders will again be actively seeking land.
Municipal Knowledge: Deep familiarity with City of Cape Coral development processes, zoning requirements, and infrastructure planning that affects land values and development potential.
Current Market Opportunities
With Southwest Florida’s construction market in transition and numerous unfinished spec homes in foreclosure, we’re seeing unique opportunities for strategic land acquisition:
– Discounted Inventory: Out-of-state owners facing carrying costs without development activity
– Strategic Positioning: Acquiring in anticipation of the next development cycle
– Builder Relationships: Maintaining connections during the downturn for future opportunities
– Tax Sale Opportunities: Increased delinquencies creating acquisition opportunities
