Summary

Acres began as an internal solution to disjointed and complicated land deal processes. Recognizing shared pain points with clients, the team built a comprehensive platform making land data transparent and accessible—no GIS expertise required. Now, Acres empowers everyone from home builders and brokers to agricultural managers and recreational land users with real-time data on elevation, zoning, utilities, and more.

A key differentiator is Acres’ people-centric approach. The team partners deeply with clients, bringing their feedback directly to product development. Their dedication ensures that users not only get robust datasets, including the largest sold land database in the U.S., but also hands-on guidance through every interaction.

The episode also highlights recent innovations like recreation layers and AI integration, which enhance decision-making with seamless data delivery. Whether you’re a developer, investor, or curious entrepreneur, Acres’ story exemplifies how listening to customers and continual iteration can turn internal pain points into industry-wide solutions!
