Elevate Your Land Investing with GIS Technology
GIS technology offers a powerful tool for visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting geographical (location) data. For land investors, this means being able to make more informed decisions based on comprehensive spatial analysis.
When we first started investing, there was no great place to easily access GIS data. We had to use physical plat maps from the county to find where properties were. That’s why we created ParcelFact to instantly map properties – it has completely “changed the game” for investors.
Key Benefits of GIS in Land Investing:
- Enhanced Property Analysis: GIS allows you to overlay various data layers like topography, zoning regulations, flood zones, and infrastructure. This integration helps you assess the initial potential of a property more accurately than ever before.
- Efficient Deep Dive Due Diligence: Streamline your due diligence process with GIS by quickly accessing and analyzing critical data such as legal descriptions, previous transactions, and environmental factors all in one platform.
- Targeted Marketing: Use GIS data to identify and target potential buyers based on specific criteria such as proximity to amenities, land features, population density, utilities, and more.
Why Does this Matter for Sales?
The most important part of sales is the acquisition process. It’s easy to think of sales as primarily about closing deals and interacting with buyers, but the truth is, successful sales strategies begin much earlier. Effective acquisition is the backbone of any sales operation, especially in land investing where the initial selection and securing of properties can make or break your business success. By focusing on refining your acquisition strategies, you’re setting the stage for smoother transactions and better sales.
We also see far too many land listings that do not include accurate location information. Without accurate geographical data, potential buyers may struggle to locate, evaluate, and ultimately decide to purchase your property. Ensuring your listings include precise GIS coordinates and clear location details is essential for attracting serious buyers and closing deals.
