A private land desk for luxury builders
Estate land, matched to your numbers before you ever see it.
Most lots that reach a builder were never measured against that builder's numbers. We work the other way around. You tell us your finished sale price, land cost, build cost and margin once. We look for off market teardowns, estate lots and acreage in north Fulton and Cherokee County that can work, and we send only those.
No obligation to review a match. No pressure. Your buy box stays private.
How it works
Your numbers first. Land second.
You set the box once
Seven answers: where you build, what you stay away from, what would make a lot an absolute yes, what it sells for, what you pay for land, what it costs to build, and the margin you need. That is the whole intake.
We look for land that fits
We work off market, through private conversations with owners of teardowns, estate lots and acreage. We aim to bring you land only when it matches a box we hold.
You get 72 hours
When land matches, you receive a first look under a confidentiality agreement. The owner's identity stays private until those terms are agreed.
You decide
Pass if it is not right. No obligation, no pressure. If it works, the contract is assigned to you and closing runs through the title company or closing attorney.
Plain terms
Plain terms. You should know exactly who you are dealing with.
ELD works as a principal. We put land under contract with the owner, then assign that contract to the builder it matches.
ELD is paid an assignment fee at closing through the title company or closing attorney.
The offer itself is built from your own numbers: finished sale price, cost to build, margin and a safety cushion.
Please review any contract with your own attorney. Georgia closings run through an attorney. Erika Gilbert is not a licensed real estate agent or broker.
Erika Gilbert, principal
Meet your land concierge.
Erika learns what each builder partner needs, and sends land only when it fits. Your buy box stays private.
Erika has spent more than 18 years in operations and more than 7 years sourcing off market properties. She brings discretion and a concierge level of care to matching each builder partner with land that fits.
Why it matters to a builder
What you gain from a land desk built around you.
You are not hiring a stranger to find land. You are working with someone who has spent her career in the rooms where high value deals are won, and who has brought that discipline to every match.
High ticket negotiation
Years in high ticket sales and negotiation. Erika approaches each owner conversation with your numbers in mind.
Operations that run quietly
More than 18 years in operations. A clear process, a confidentiality agreement, a 72 hour first look, and closing through the title company or closing attorney. We aim to leave no loose ends for you to chase.
A handpicked off market team
Erika personally handpicked her off market team and has coached off market professionals for more than 6 years. Sourcing is held to the standard she sets.
Discretion, by design
Owners stay private. Your buy box stays private. Every match is handled with the care of a concierge, not the pace of a sales floor.
The benefit to you: land that has been sourced, negotiated and handled with care, then matched to your numbers.

Thank you.
I have what I need. When a site fits your criteria, I will send it to you privately, with the price and terms in writing. If it is not right for you, I will step aside.
Questions builders ask
Plain answers to what builders ask first.
Who is Estate Land Desk?
A private land desk for luxury builders in north Fulton and Cherokee County. We find off market land, put it under contract with the owner, and offer that contract to the builder whose criteria it fits. Estate Land Desk is a trade name of US Real Estate Relief LLC.
What would I be buying?
The right to buy one specific property under a signed purchase contract with the owner, through an assignment. The price and the key terms are in front of you before you commit. The sale closes through a Georgia closing attorney or title company.
How do you get paid?
Through an assignment fee that is paid at closing through the title company or closing attorney. You pay nothing up front, and the fee is earned only if the sale closes. Your assignment agreement spells out exactly when.
Are you a broker or agent?
No. We work as a principal, buying under a contract and assigning it. A licensed real estate agent supports our marketing and works only for us. Neither of us is your agent, and we never ask you for a commission.
What will you send me, and how?
A short private brief: location, lot size, what we have checked (restrictions, utilities, flood, title), the price and key terms. We send only sites that match the criteria you gave us. You get a first look before it goes to another builder.
Do you share the owner's name or contact them for me?
We keep the owner's identity private until you agree to confidentiality terms. We ask that you work through us until closing, which protects the owner, you and the deal.
How much time do I have to decide?
Your agreement gives you a review period to inspect the site, check title and walk away. We set it so it ends before our own deadline with the owner.
Do I have to buy anything you send?
No. You can pass at any time before an agreement is signed. If you tell us why, we send better matches next time.
What is the ten minute call?
The same short questions as the form: the lots you want, what you stay away from, the prices you build to, and how you buy. Nothing is sold on the call, and you can end it at any time.
What happens to my information?
It is used only to send you sites that match. It is not shared with other builders, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
