Land Acquisition Analyst

We've been buying rural land since 1999. We acquire 40+ acre tracts across 13 states, subdivide them into recreational lots, and sell them to people who want a piece of the country. Acquisition is the engine of our entire company — and right now it's the function that needs the most help. We're looking for someone to take over the front end of finding and evaluating land, working directly with our Director of Sales and Land Acquisition. Over time, you'll grow into running realtor relationships and first-round negotiations on your own. What you'll actually do Source potential acquisitions through realtor outreach, our internal scraper pipeline, and direct research Map properties using GIS tools, pull parcel data, check flood zones, assess access and topography Talk to realtors — ask the right questions about timber history, easements, minerals, access, surveys, and seller motivation Run deals through our underwriting framework and surface the ones worth pursuing Grow our realtor network across 13 states Manage inbound seller inquiries from our PriceYourLand channel

Eventually:

lead first-round negotiations with realtors and sellers Improve the systems we use to evaluate deals — we're not looking for someone to follow a checklist, we're looking for someone who'll make the checklist better What we need you to be good at Analysis. This is the #1 skill. We need someone who looks at a property and asks the right questions without being told. Pattern recognition. "Something's off about this one" instincts. If we send you a pinpoint and ask what you think, we want a real answer, not a map. Negotiation. Comfortable being direct with realtors and sellers. Knows when to push and when to walk away. Independent judgment. We want someone who shares their real read on a deal or a process, even when it's not the easy answer. Thoughtful disagreement is part of the job. Creativity. The good deals usually have something weird about them — access issues, split parcels, timber timing, motivated sellers in unusual situations. We want someone who can see angles other people miss. Process-building. You'll be inheriting a function that's been run by one person doing too much. We want you to build it into something better, not just keep it running. Background we're open to Licensed real estate agent (especially RLI / land specialist background) who's tired of commission-only — this is probably the most natural fit Land brokerage analyst or junior acquisitions person at a similar company Someone with rural real estate, timber, ranch, or agricultural land experience Strong analytical people from adjacent fields who can prove they pick this up fast This role moves fast. You'll work directly with our Director of Sales and Land Acquisition, who runs a high bar and expects new hires to ramp quickly. The first 90 days are heavy on training and asking questions. By month six, you should be running realtor calls on your own. By month twelve, you should be evaluating and pursuing deals with limited oversight. What it's like to work here We're a team of 17 based in Allen, TX, with seven people in your immediate department. You'll know everyone by name within a week. Family-owned since 1999. Flexible schedule within reason, approved in advance. Real ownership of your function. You won't be one of fifty analysts. You'll be the analyst. Direct access to the Director, with clear expectations on how decisions flow. Team lunches for birthdays A collaborative team culture
