Bill Eshenbaugh, Founder of Eshenbaugh Land Company, was recently featured on the Voices of Land podcast, hosted by Justin Osborn, ALC. The episode dives into one of the most critical—and often misunderstood—aspects of land brokerage: smart site selection.
Known throughout the industry as “The Dirt Dog,” Bill shares insights drawn from decades of hands-on experience representing landowners, developers, and investors across Florida. During the conversation, he discusses how successful site selection goes far beyond location alone, combining market knowledge, entitlement awareness, infrastructure planning, and data-driven analysis.
The episode also explores how today’s land professionals can leverage modern tools—such as GIS mapping, demographic data, and market analytics—to identify opportunity earlier, advise clients with greater confidence, and stay ahead of shifting market cycles. Bill emphasizes that while technology has enhanced the process, experience and local knowledge remain irreplaceable when evaluating land.
