Why Targeted Prospecting Is the Smartest Move for Land Acquisition

When it comes to land, every wasted minute and every dead-end lead costs you. Whether you're hunting for off-market deals, sizing up new markets, or sourcing the right build sites—casting a wide net without clear targeting drains time and budget.

That’s why Acres.com built targeted lead lists into Acres—available for Pro or Enterprise subscribers—so you can spend less time chasing and more time closing.

Here’s how targeted prospecting changes the game—and why it pays off.

1. You Eliminate the Cost of Irrelevant Leads

Mass outreach might feel productive—but when you’re paying for duplicate data, mailing to unqualified owners, or following up with parcels that don’t fit your deal criteria, you’re bleeding time and budget.

Acres’ targeted lead lists include built-in auto de-duplication, so you only pay once for the data you need. No wasted mailings. No redundant contacts. Just clean, actionable leads.

2. You Focus on the Right Landowners, Not Just Any Landowner

Generic lists leave you guessing. Acres gives you precision filters to define exactly who you’re looking for: by land use, acreage, entity name, owner address, location, and more.

You’re not just reaching out. You’re reaching the right people, the ones who actually fit your criteria.

3. You Control the Map

With Acres, prospecting starts on the map. Draw shapes, select parcels, or define areas by address or region. Then layer in filters to build a list that’s laser-focused on your target market.

If you’re on Acres Enterprise, you can take targeting to the next level with powerful map-based filtering.

Using layers like zoning and future land use, you can define market areas not just by geography, but by strategic potential. Want to find landowners in areas zoned for commercial development? Or parcels marked for future industrial use? Just turn on the relevant layers, select your target area, and generate a lead list that aligns exactly with your investment or development criteria.

No need for third-party GIS tools. No wasted outreach. Just hyper-focused lead generation, backed by real land intelligence.

4. You Get There First

Land moves fast—especially when it’s priced right or primed for development. Targeted lead lists in Acres give you a critical edge: faster outreach, more relevant pitches, and less time wasted on unqualified leads.
