Real Estate Support for Houston Infill Developers

Compean Group helps developers decide what to build, and what it will sell for, before construction starts. We review land deals, floor plans and finish selections from a buyer's point of view, then price, market and sell the finished homes.

Before you buy the land

• Lot values. We track lot sales and current lot listings, so you can judge a land price quickly.
• Feasibility problems, early. Surveys that don't match the plat's building lines or easements, fences that encroach, historic district rules and deed restrictions: we raise them before your option period ends.
• One home or two. We review land kits and site plans that show whether a lot can be subdivided, and compare the numbers both ways.

Before you build

• Plan and finish reviews. We comment on floor plans and finish boards with what Houston buyers pay for, such as a full bedroom downstairs, an upstairs layout that works and a vaulted ceiling in the primary suite.
• A realistic sale price. We estimate what the finished homes will sell for from comparable new construction and recent resales, so your budget matches the market before you commit.

When you're ready to sell

We price each home on its own, market it with HDR photos and 3D tours, report buyer feedback on a schedule, and handle the contract through closing. Details are on our page for builders.

Questions developers ask

Can a real estate agent help with a land purchase for development?

Yes. We pull lot comps, check the survey against the plat, flag deed restrictions and historic district rules, and negotiate an option period long enough for your feasibility work.

Do you review floor plans before construction?

Yes. We review floor plans and finish boards from a buyer's perspective and tell you which features help a home sell at your target price.

How do you estimate what a new build will sell for?

From recent sales of comparable new construction and nearby resales, adjusted for lot position, features and current mortgage rates.

Can you sell lots as well as finished homes?

Yes. We list single lots, finished homes and multi-unit projects.
