Christopher Burtner, V.P Development - Mill Creek Residential

Austin and the FCPG Land Team have continued to be one of our closest partners in getting deals done in Florida and were instrumental in our Narcoossee Rd development (377 luxury units plus retail in the Lake Nona region).

Their commitment to excellence, tenacity in following up, and quick ability to build relational equity has helped us find high quality opportunities we would have not otherwise found. My job is easier having someone  like Austin on our side.

Stephen Gerhard, COO, 2nd Wave Development

Competition for multifamily land has become increasingly competitive, which is why I’m glad we have FCPG’s Land Team in our corner to give us an edge. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Whether it’s sourcing off market opportunities or providing insight into the latest market developments, they anticipate our needs and have gone above and beyond for us. Additionally, their professionalism, infectious energy, and relatability have helped us build relationships with sellers and navigate sometimes difficult conversations and negotiations.

Dave Greenberg, VP, Investments at Catalyst Development Partners

Austin is an incredibly insightful broker who can foresee issues before they come up. Austin and his team are the boots on the ground extension of our own acquisition that we need, filtering and thinking critically before presenting us with opportunities. Austin’s hard work, and willingness to roll up his sleeves, has been an instrumental in our acquisition process, finding off-market sites and working thoughtfully with multi-generational owners to elicit a sale. While I hope this recommendation provides other potential clients insight into Austin’s work ethic, I hope that competitors don’t believe it so that we can keep Austin to ourselves!
