  • Once we’ve established your ideal building lot and location, we will identify a target property to acquire for your next custom home.

  • Once we’ve identified your perfect building lot, we will take care of preparing an air tight contract that includes an offer to purchase as well as any diligence and contingencies including soil analysis, surveys, architectural reviews, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore frequently asked questions about our real estate advisor service

IS THERE A FEE FOR REAL ESTATE ADVISOR SERVICES?

Real Estate Advisors are paid based on professional services rendered. For land acquisition, fees are generally 3% of the gross sale price.

WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS ARE BEST FOR REAL ESTATE ADVISORS?

Real Estate Advisors are best positioned to help you find a building lot or parcel for your next custom home, and may be achieved through acquiring raw land, tear downs, or building lots in real estate developments. Real estate advisors may also be employed to put together market data and analyses, which may be helpful during the process of searching for a building lot or identifying opportunity in a local market.

I ALREADY WORK WITH A REALTOR, MAY I ALSO EMPLOY A REAL ESTATE ADVISOR?

Real Estate Advisors operate under the ethical and legal guidelines that underpin all Realtor activity in the United States. As such, a Real Estate Advisor may not provide professional services with a customer who already has a formal relationship with a Realtor. Real Estate Advisors fully support the principles of the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Opportunity Act.

I AM A REALTOR. HOW CAN I BECOME A MEMBER OF YOUR REAL ESTATE ADVISOR PROGRAM?

Realtors are welcome to reach out to inquire about becoming a Real Estate Advisor, particularly if they are a member of the Sotheby’s International Realty network and have a demonstrated track record of success in one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s major markets, such as Washington, D.C, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, West Virginia, and North Carolina.
