As a real estate developer in Florida, the more you know, the more deals you’ll close. 

That means having access to accurate and comprehensive site assessment data, like Future Land Use and Hazards, but it also means knowing who owns what and where.

That’s where our latest feature, Owner Portfolio search comes in.

 

What is an owner portfolio?

An owner portfolio refers to the collection of properties owned by a single individual or entity.

Having an understanding of these portfolios is crucial to success. This knowledge can empower you at each stage of the development journey, particularly when it comes to strategic planning, assembling large parcels for development, negotiating better deals, conducting thorough due diligence and managing risks more effectively. 

Understanding owner portfolios will give you a significant advantage in the always-competitive real estate market, and we’re about to tell you how.

Why understanding owner portfolios is a game-changer

1. Bulk purchasing power: Think of it like Costco, you buy in bulk and your wallet thanks you. By identifying multiple lots owned by the same owner, you’ll find yourself in a better negotiating position - and this can lead to some major cost savings and a more efficient acquisition process.

2. Land Assembly: Go big or go home, right? Knowing the extent of an owner’s property means you can easily identify adjacent lots and assemble larger parcels of land for more ambitious projects. Combine this knowledge with data that gives you key insights into market demand, like Demographics, and you’ll have hit the jackpot. 

3. Tailored proposals: Everybody wants to increase the likelihood of a successful deal, and there's nothing quite like a personalized approach to help you do just that. If you understand an owner's entire portfolio, then you can use this to tailor your proposals and negotiations effectively.

4. Mitigating risk: Larger deals, completed faster and crucially, with less risk. With a complete knowledge of an owner’s property portfolio you can conduct more thorough due diligence and identify areas of concern before you part with your cash. Plus, if you understand ownership patterns and strategies of existing landowners, you can make more informed decisions and avoid speculative risks when it comes to your own strategy.

5. Long term relationships: Building rapport and forming relationships with owners of multiple properties can lead to one thing and one thing only: future opportunities. Just because it isn’t right for you now doesn’t mean it won’t be right for you later, and that’s always something to keep in mind. Knowing who these owners are and making an effort to connect means that when the right opportunity does come along, you’ll be well placed to approach any negotiations with the backing of a strong relationship and a full understanding of the owners strategy.
