Course curriculum

01

What a land consultant does

Land advisory sits between brokerage, planning and finance. This lesson maps the work: who hires a land consultant, what decisions they need help with, and where the role ends and licensed or engineering work begins.

02

Parcel due diligence

Most land deals fail on facts nobody checked early. Here you build a due-diligence checklist covering title and easements, access, boundary and survey issues, floodplain, wetlands, soils and environmental history.

03

Zoning, plats and land use

Zoning decides what can be built. This lesson covers reading zoning codes and maps, permitted versus conditional uses, setbacks and density limits, and how plats and subdivisions work.

04

Utilities, access and infrastructure

A parcel without water, sewer, power and road access is worth far less than one that has them. You learn how to confirm utility availability and capacity and estimate the cost of bringing infrastructure to a site.

05

Highest and best use and land value

Land value follows what the land can legally and economically become. This lesson walks through the four highest-and-best-use tests and residual land value math at a screening level.

06

Advising the client and writing the report

Your work is only as useful as the recommendation it supports. You learn how to structure a land advisory memo, present risks honestly and set scope and fees for land engagements.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Run a structured land due-diligence process from title to utilities
  • Read zoning, plats, surveys and environmental reports with confidence
  • Screen a parcel for highest and best use before anyone spends on design
  • Explain how entitlements and infrastructure drive land value
  • Package findings into a clear recommendation for a buyer, seller or lender

Who it’s for

  • Real estate professionals, investors and career changers who want to advise on raw land, acreage and infill parcels.
