Question For Residential Developers

[Eddie Auguri]

Hey all! First post, very excited. I have a question for residential developers on here.

How often do residential developers work with converting land zoned agricultural? I understand that the rezoning process can be difficult, but if I (as a real estate agent) happened upon a larger plot of land with dozens of acres, how much sense would it make to find a list of residential developers here in OK as well as surrounding states to market that land to? 

Thanks y'all!

It very common, at least in my experience in Texas.  The large metro areas continue to grow outward, and for developers interested in building subdivisions needing larger tracts, the raw land on the outskirts of the city is frequency zoned agricultural (and actually being used as such). 

It has happened in 2 of larger subdivision projects in DWF area and outside San Marcos. 

If you're talking about buying land and speculating a developer would be interested, knowing the growth patterns of the area would be a must.
