Dirt has a narrative, but you have to know how to read it. While other agents priced this Live Oak lot strictly on its outdated cottages, we looked at it through a developer's lens. By leveraging the county's RM-2.5 zoning update, we unlocked a massive equity delta. As Evan put it: "Most agents missed that angle entirely."
