Navigating Initial Contact When Exploring Non-Listed Land Parcels for Sale

By Garrett Byrd


In the field of real estate and self-storage investment, opportunities often arise in unexpected places, including parcels of land not actively listed for sale. Whether you're an aspiring developer, investor, or entrepreneur, the potential of acquiring such land for various purposes, including commercial ventures like storage facilities, can be enticing. However, initiating contact with landowners of these non-listed parcels requires a delicate and strategic franchise system approach.





We'll explore the key steps to navigate the initial contact process effectively.


  1. Keep It Simple: When reaching out to landowners of non-listed parcels, simplicity is key. Begin the conversation with a concise and respectful inquiry about their potential interest in selling the land. This initial contact sets the tone for future interactions and establishes a foundation of trust and openness.

  2. Gauge Interest in Selling: Upon initiating contact, the primary objective is to determine whether the landowner is open to the idea of selling their property. This can be achieved through a straightforward question about their willingness to explore potential opportunities for sale.

  3. Request Information: If the landowner expresses interest in selling, the next step is to gather essential information about the land. Inquire about any available documentation, such as boundary surveys or maps, to gain insights into the property's dimensions and layout. Understanding the total area of the land is crucial for assessing its suitability for your intended use, whether it be for a storage facility or another development project.

  4. Seek Permission for Property Review: To further evaluate the property's potential, politely ask the landowner if you can walk the property to conduct a thorough review. This on-site visit allows you to assess various factors, including terrain, accessibility, and surrounding environment, which are instrumental in making informed decisions about its suitability for your investment objectives.

  5. Delay Pricing Discussions: While pricing is an essential aspect of the negotiation process, it's advisable to postpone detailed discussions until after the second call or meeting. This allows both parties to conduct initial investigations, gather necessary information, and establish rapport before delving into pricing considerations. Approach pricing discussions with caution and professionalism, ensuring that they align with the value proposition of the land and your investment goals.

  6. Utilize Mail Communication: In cases where direct contact isn't feasible or preferred, consider reaching out to landowners via mail. A simple and well-crafted contact letter can serve as an introduction to your interest in the property and pave the way for further communication and exploration of potential opportunities.



Navigating the initial contact process with landowners of non-listed parcels requires a blend of diplomacy, curiosity, and professionalism. By keeping the conversation simple, respecting the landowner's interests, and approaching discussions with diligence and respect, you can lay the groundwork for fruitful negotiations and potential partnerships in your quest for property acquisition and investment success.
