Some of Our Methods
Vote Probability
We have archived and analyzed tens of thousands of commissioner meeting minutes, rezoning hearings, and board decisions across New Hanover County. That data lets us extract development trends by district, identify patterns in how individual commissioners vote, and estimate the probability of approval on a seat-by-seat basis before you ever file an application.
Evidence Backing
Every submission we prepare is backed by real evidence. We have access to thousands of recent, publicly accessible documents and data points across New Hanover County - assessment records, transaction histories, zoning rulings, permit filings, and hearing transcripts. When we file an appeal, submit a rezoning application, or present a case to the city or county, it comes with the data to support it. Not opinions. Not estimates. Documented, sourced, cross-referenced evidence.
What We Do
Rezoning Applications
We prepare and present rezoning cases backed by market data, comparable analysis, and financial modeling. We know what the planning board wants to see - and we can estimate the likelihood of approval before you file.
Variance Requests
When a project needs dimensional relief - setbacks, height, lot coverage - we build the case and manage the process from application to approval.
Land Use Advisory
Highest-and-best-use analysis for any parcel in New Hanover County. We quantify what a site can support and what it is worth under different zoning scenarios.
Due Diligence
Zoning verification, entitlement risk assessment, and regulatory review for acquisitions. Know exactly what you are buying before you close.
