A day in the life of a Land Acquisition Manager:
Life as a Land Acquisition Manager is exciting and different every day as it’s your job to maintain the company’s pipeline of potential land deals while helping manage key players on the Land Acquisition team. Your expertise is crucial to the Division’s market strategy which includes assisting with financial analysis, quarterly reporting and budget reviews. You will be responsible for sourcing land leads, assembling feasibility packages, assisting with financial reports and monitoring acquisitions. Your day may start researching new land parcels and establishing target markets, building relationships with local developers, builders, brokers and landowners. The rest of your day could then consist of building financial models, identifying underutilized properties and ensuring contract compliance for current land deals, all in a hybrid work environment.

Martin Alloy and Stanley Halle created Stanley Martin in 1966 in the Maryland suburbs outside of Washington, D.C. Early on, we began innovating with fresh new designs and quickly expanded our portfolio of homes to include various sizes and townhomes as well. Our innovative designs, commitment to quality and strong customer service quickly led to significant growth.
Stanley Martin expanded into Northern Virginia in 1971, Charlottesville, VA in 2013 and both Richmond, VA and Raleigh, NC in 2014. In 2017, Stanley Martin joined the Daiwa House Group, which provided the opportunity to expand into Atlanta, GA and Charleston, SC in 2018 and again in 2020 into Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC among other metro areas on the east coast. We are proud of our 50+ years of success and look forward to helping homebuyers find their dream home every day.
