What NLR GIS Can Do For You

August 25, 2017

If you could build your dream property from scratch, what would it include? Would it have a fully stocked pond? Would it have hundreds of acres of pine trees? What about a five-bedroom cabin that sits right beside a trout stream? The possibilities are truly endless.

While we can’t create the perfect property for you, we can help you find it. How is this possible? With the help of our Land Professionals and our technology that’s revolutionizing the land brokerage industry.

Looking for land can be a lengthy and draining process. Traditionally, the search would start with the buyer telling an agent their specifications, then waiting until a property that matched those requirements became available. This could take months or even years of waiting without any guarantee that the buyer will find an ideal property. Fortunately, those days are long gone when you work with a National Land Realty (NLR) agent.

When a client selects NLR, they are choosing to work with the most innovative land brokerage in the country. Our unique marriage of mapping with parcel and sales data allows us to create customized, one-of-a-kind Targeted Acquisition Platform (TAP) to locate properties all over the U.S., even those that don’t have that “For Sale” sign yet. Whether you’re looking for a recreational tract with plenty of timber, or that 10-acre farm with a stocked pond, TAP takes your specific criteria and allows our agents to find properties that match your needs.

NLR's GIS team has developed a proprietary mapping software to quickly screen and identify opportunities for land buyers and sellers.

How do we achieve this? Our experienced group of data and GIS professionals continually scour the country to bring a multitude of sources together into one, comprehensive database. This proprietary database includes parcel information, hundreds of thousands of comparable sales, land classification data, and much more. It’s a one-stop shop that allows our Land Professionals to quickly identify tracts that meet your goals and successfully deliver results.

NLR Land Broker, Greg Greer, recently used our GIS technology to help a land buyer achieve his goals.

“When I had a large client searching for a statewide conservation project, the GIS team quickly provided the sites that met the parameters like no other land brokerage had been able to do. They couldn’t believe what we were able to produce and on such short notice when the timing was crucial for their funding approval. The GIS team is a tremendous asset and tool to our agents. The support and turnaround time on projects they provide are essential when it comes to meeting our clients’ specific needs. We truly have a capability and competitive advantage no other land brokerage can provide to buyers and sellers. It’s what really distinguishes NLR from the competition.”

Our interactive mapping applications allow clients to instantly view important information about a property such as boundaries, topography, and soil types.
