If your role is to find land, for an industrial or logistics development, a truck stop, a storage facility, a hotel or motel site, a data centre, or a battery energy storage site, your biggest constraint usually isn't capital or approvals. It's visibility. The best sites in regional South Australia rarely reach a listing portal. They're sold quietly, direct from the owner, often before an agent is ever engaged.
I find those sites.
I am a licensed South Australian real estate agent working on acquisition-side mandates. I don't list, market, or represent sellers on the properties I source for you. My job is simple: you give me a brief, I go and find the land that matches it, off-market, direct from the owner, wherever possible. I BRING YOU THE OPPORTUNTIES you won't be able to find yourself.
Take a clear acquisition mandate, location parameters, site size, zoning requirements, access/services requirements, budget, and timeframe.
Search South Australia's regional and metropolitan markets for vacant land and development sites matching that brief, including sites not currently on the market.
Approach landowners directly where a suitable site isn't listed, to establish whether they'd consider selling.
Present you with opportunities as they're identified, site details, ownership situation, and an initial read on price expectations and seller motivation.
Work sector-specific mandates, sourcing land suitable for:
Industrial, logistics and employment land
Transport hubs and truck stops
Residential development sites
Hotel and motel development sites
Childcare Centres
Warehouses and storage facilities
Commercial shops
Broader commercial and industrial land acquisition
Data centre sites (power availability, land scale, connectivity corridors)
Battery energy storage system (BESS) sites
What I Don't Do
To be direct about scope, so there's no ambiguity in how we'd work together:
I don't source tenanted or going-concern businesses, this is a land and vacant site acquisition service, not a business or investment purchasing service.
I don't prepare feasibility studies, valuations, or due diligence reports. I identify and present sites, your team (or your consultants) handle assessment, due diligence and prepare settlement.
I don't act for both sides of a transaction on a mandate site. If I've sourced it for you, I'm working for you.
Deal Flow You Won't Find Elsewhere
I run an active, ongoing direct-outreach pipeline into regional South Australian landowners, averaging a dozen direct seller enquiries a week through channels most buyers agents and acquisition teams aren't operating in. Very few people are working this space the way I am, which means mandates I take on are being matched against live, current seller interest, not a cold search starting from zero.
Why South Australia, Why Regional
Regional South Australia is where the visibility gap is widest. Metro industrial land is contested and well-tracked by every acquisition team in the country. Regional sites, the ones with the right zoning, power access, road frontage, or scale for transport hubs, a data centre, a BESS project, or a logistics hub, are far more likely to be sitting quietly with a landowner who hasn't engaged an agent, hasn't listed anywhere, and hasn't been approached.
That's the gap I work in. Local relationships, on-the-ground and online presence across regional SA, and a direct-approach method that gets to landowners before a site is ever publicly marketed.
I put land deals together direct from the owner, to you, the client.
I connect you directly with landowners to uncover the right land opportunities.
Brief. I define exactly what you're trying to acquire: location, size, zoning, services, budget, and any deal-breakers.
Search. I work the mandate across on-market and off-market channels, including direct landowner outreach where nothing suitable is listed.
Present. As I identify sites that fit, I bring them to you with the essential detail you need to decide whether to pursue — you and your team take it from there.
Repeat. Mandates can run as a single acquisition or an ongoing search across multiple sites and locations.
There’s no upfront cost to engage me to search for your land acquisition mandate, the only initial fee is the AML/KYC compliance process required to onboard you as a client.
I work on a success-fee basis, meaning my fee is only payable when a successful transaction is completed in accordance with the agreed mandate.
Beore I start searching, we agree the terms upfront, including the success fee, mandate structure, exclusivity period or rolling arrangement, and geographic scope.
I operate exclusively across South Australia, sourcing both on-market and off-market land opportunities.
You give me the brief. I find the land. You only pay on success.
