SERVICES.

Services for Smarter Land Use Decisions.

We provide expert guidance on land use and entitlements, helping developers and investors navigate complex zoning, planning, and approval processes. Our services identify potential risks, outline mitigation strategies, and deliver actionable insights to maximize project feasibility and value.

​Owner's Representation.

Managing the entitlement process is complex—filled with consultants, agencies, and shifting timelines. As your Owner’s Representative, we act as your dedicated advocate, guiding your project from concept to approval while protecting your time, budget, and vision.
This service ensures:
  • Centralized coordination of planners, engineers, architects, and surveyors
  • Strategic oversight of the entitlement process
  • Advocacy focused solely on protecting the property owner’s interests

Regulatory Due Diligence.

Our Regulatory Due Diligence Report gives development professionals a clear, upfront understanding of the zoning, land-use, and regulatory constraints that shape a site before design or investment decisions are made. It distills complex requirements into a practical, decision-ready brief so teams can move forward with confidence.

Entitlement Risk Assessment.

Our Third-Party Entitlement Risk Assessment gives project owners an independent, third-party perspective on entitlement projects, proactively identifying public, political, and agency-level risks that may have been overlooked. We uncover blind spots, provide actionable strategies, and help you improve your chances of a smooth approval at the public hearing, keeping your project on track and moving forward with confidence.

Consulting.

Sometimes you don’t need someone to manage the entire process—you just need the right strategy and insights. Our consulting services provide clarity and actionable guidance to help you navigate public hearings and entitlement challenges effectively.
We help you:
  • Understand the public hearing process and requirements
  • Identify political, procedural, or community constraints
  • Communicate persuasively with staff, elected officials, and the public
"Mike completely over-delivered as an owner's representative for our 38-paper lot entitlement approval. He is not just extremely knowledgeable, but you can tell the city staff, engineers, etc. treat him with an extra level of respect because of the way he effectively and professionally handles conversations. The fact that he has 20+ years of experience in this field is very obvious from the time he starts consulting until the time you hear him communicate with key players. He really went to bat for us. My only regret about working with Mike was not bringing him in sooner into our project. Before Mike stepped in, we were struggling with an unresponsive engineer and unresponsive city staff in a project that turned into a stalled nightmare. Mike came in and turned it around for us over a few months. Can't recommend enough." - Alfredo E.

"The value in this subdivision bundle is in the 25+ hours of personal history and experience that is imparted. The subdivision process is fairly easy to understand, particularly after the first one or two. But all the little "gotchas" that municipalities put into their ordinances trip the unwary, and the "death by a thousand paper cuts" that he has experienced helps all the rest of us avoid the paper cuts." - Jim H.

"The information that Mike and his team compile is invaluable. I've worked with Planning & Zoning departments in two states in a few counties, but once I reviewed some of Mike's material, I realized I was only looking at a little square of gray leathery skin. Meaning this exception list showed me the proverbial full elephant that I was really staring at, and the opportunity that that body of knowledge represented nationwide. Intelligently written and not sales-y, this product can't be found anywhere else, and applied correctly can be worth a ton of money." - Alicia P. 

"Love the underutilized properties course. Makes you see a whole new world of possibilities. Overall,a great course that could only add value as an investor."  - Martin Z.
