• Present new opportunities weekly to the executive team in acquisition meetings, clearly articulating the opportunity, zoning potential, ownership dynamics, and strategic angle
• Track outreach efforts, pipeline, and owner communications
• Be active in the field — walking neighborhoods, meeting owners, uncovering opportunities before competitors
