Notable Projects
Unlocking Value from a Landlocked Deal
9+ Acres, 3 Owners, 1 Creative Solution
What began as a straightforward land sale quickly became one of the most complex transactions of my career—and one of the most rewarding.
The project involved the sale of 9 acres of commercial land in the high-demand Texas submarket of Northeast Montgomery County. But as we got deeper into due diligence, a critical issue came to light: the property was landlocked. Access was blocked by an adjacent 3-acre parcel whose out-of-state owner had previously refused to grant a roadway easement.
Most deals would’ve died there. But I don’t walk away from a challenge.
After a year of negotiations, setbacks, and countless pivots, I was able to structure a creative solution: the out-of-state owner agreed to sell the 3 acres to the seller. The transaction was structured in a way that triggered the roadway easement and protected all parties legally and financially.
The Result?
The original seller closed at full value and gained 3 acres on the front end of their property
The buyer gained both access and expansion frontage
And the previously uncooperative 3-acre owner walked away with a profitable, clean sale
This was more than just a land sale. It was a masterclass in strategic negotiation, patience, and creative problem solving. Deals like this are why I love what I do.
