01 / WHY THIS MASTERCLASS
Learn to see what others overlook.
Development land brokerage requires a different way of thinking. A site is not valuable simply because a policy permits more density; it must also work geometrically, financially and commercially. The right sequence of ownership conversations matters as much as the right parcel map.
This Masterclass connects municipal planning, site geometry, developer economics, ownership research, exclusive engagement, negotiations and transaction execution. Foundational concepts are explained clearly, while experienced Realtors are challenged with sophisticated real-world decisions.
See what we'll cover02 / COURSE CURRICULUM
From the first idea to execution.
A comprehensive, practical curriculum. Detailed lesson sequencing will be finalized as course development is completed.
▱
Understanding the actual site
Move beyond headline FSR. Work through lot geometry, usable density, frontage, road dedication, physical constraints and the risk of orphaning parcels.
◫
Thinking like a developer
Understand feasibility, municipal charges, project costs and residual land value—why a development-site asking price cannot be established by residential comparables alone.
⊞
Ownership & prospecting
Research parcel ownership, identify decision-makers, plan owner outreach and build a purposeful prospecting sequence before approaching a potential assembly.
◎
Assembling the owners
Navigate confidentiality, exclusive listing approaches, owner expectations, pricing, holdouts, sequencing, objections and opportunities that stall.
⤴
Negotiation & transaction structure
Explore commercial negotiation, offer structure, conditions, timing, deposit and extension considerations, and where experienced legal advice is essential.
◇
Developer marketing & tendering
Package opportunities for development buyers, understand their underwriting questions and learn approaches to confidential marketing and controlled tender processes.
▤
Due diligence & closing
Recognize key risks involving servicing, environmental and geotechnical work, surveys, entitlement, legal documentation and the path from conditional offer to completion.
✧
Cases, failures & application
Use realistic assembly scenarios and instructor-led debriefs to decide which opportunities to pursue, which to change—and when to walk away.
COURSE DEPTH Development feasibility and the logic of residual land value are central. Any dedicated Excel proforma workshop or take-home financial model will be identified in the final syllabus before registration opens.
03 / THE APPROACH
Real sites.
Real decisions.
Real lessons.
Why an otherwise promising assembly may fail. Why one holdout can change everything. Why zoning potential does not automatically mean financial feasibility. And how to recognize when to advance an opportunity—and when to walk away.
The focus is on practical decision-making, not just terminology.
01
Real-world case studies
Examples grounded in actual development-site challenges and transaction experience.
02
Practical frameworks
Learn how to assess opportunities systematically instead of relying on assumptions.
03
Breakout exercises
Small-group discussion of case scenarios, followed by instructor-led debriefs and an examination of what actually happened.
04
Practical application
Leave knowing how to start identifying and evaluating potential opportunities in your own market—not just what the terms mean.
04 / THE LIVE EXPERIENCE
Serious instruction.
Active participation.
This is a live, three-day online intensive—not a video library or a passive webinar. Expect guided analysis, real-world cases and conversations about the decisions that make or break an assembly.
