How Local Knowledge Will Make You More Money in Land Investing with Land Specialist Dustin Pavelski

You’ve done your research, crunched the numbers, and found the perfect piece of land. But something critical is missing - local insight.

In this episode, I talk to real estate salesperson and land specialist Dustin Pavelski about the untapped value of working with a local expert.

Dustin is a seasoned land agent with deep roots in Northeastern Pennsylvania. He has a unique background that gives him an edge in understanding the complexities of land deals, from oil and gas rights to navigating the renewable energy landscape.

His expertise and others like him with immense local knowledge could be the difference between a successful land investment and a costly mistake.

Local agents know the land inside and out; they can spot the red flags that aren’t visible on a computer screen.
