Who else uses GIS to market to owners and increase deal flow?

[Kyle Ferguson]

The core of our business is our GIS platform. We use GIS to screen for and find the right properties that we want to acquire. We target the properties through our GIS platform and export a list of the property owners names along with addresses to a list so that we can then send a letter, cold call or knock on their doors to get their attention. Our system looks something like this: 

Set site Criteria > FInd sites that meet that criteria on our GIS platform > export a list of landowner names and address >. mail to every landowner > talk with landowners about selling or leasing their land> qualify the landowner > close on a lease or purchase option agreement.
