A love of the land that gets deals done
A love of the land that gets deals done
Whether it’s urban infill or wide-open undeveloped land, you need a local brokerage
team on the ground and in the know to make complex land deals happen. That’s
Eshenbaugh Land Company.
Our collaborative team of experienced brokers blends deep knowledge of all things
land, trusted relationships with all the local players, and an ethical, down-to-earth
character inspired by our founder’s cowboy roots.

Jack Koehler
At Eshenbaugh Land Company, it’s our rare knowledge of all aspects of land that gets
deals done – and gives our clients confidence and a sense of ease every step of the
way. We walk the soil of every property we represent. We know about diverse wildlife
and their habitats on the land, about environmental characteristics, about easements
and entitlements, and about the history of the sites. We know what to ask to uncover
issues, what the value should be and who to go to for bringing deals together. And we
do it all with respect for our clients, each other, and the land itself.
Great land deals happen because Eshenbaugh Land
Company was involved.

The Five E’s
The 5 E’s
At Eshenbaugh Land Company, we’re inspired by a simple yet significant handful of guiding principles – our 5 E’s. It’s what
we bring to every relationship and what you can expect in every interaction with our team.
1. Ethics: Inspired by founder Bill Eshenbaugh’s cowboy virtues of always doing the right thing and trusting your gut,
ethics always comes first at Eshenbaugh Land Company. It’s our Number 1 priority, always, period.
2. Education: Our credentialed team constantly stays informed and in-the-know, tracking trends and monitoring the
marketplace. We are sought-after industry speakers and respected subject matter experts. We are bell ringers of shifts
in market valuation. Our comprehensive compilation of deals and trends – the quarterly Eshenbaugh Land Company
Report – has become THE source of local land updates and market insights. And most of our brokers impressively hold
dual designations of CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Broker) and ALC (Accredited Land Consultant). Those
who don’t hold one or both are enrolled in the designation programs.
3. Experience: No other commercial real estate firm in the Tampa Bay area focuses so intently, completely and deeply on
land, specifically land for future development. Our team has a combined 75+ years of experience and we have closed
more than $876 million in transactions since our firm’s founding two decades ago. In 2013 alone, we closed $92 million
in 60 land deals.
4. Enthusiasm: We love what we do and are excited to be able to sell land in Florida. We each share a love of the land
because it’s our greatest teacher – it has shaped who we are and has greatly influenced the culture of our firm.
5. Empathy: We’re really good listeners. We always take the time to understand our clients’ goals and objectives and any
issues or concerns up front. We look at things from your perspective before shaping any solution.

Our Team
a
A Local Team of
Land Brokers
The land business is about more than dirt – it’s about relationships. Three of our
brokers are second generation Tampa real estate professionals in commercial and
land real estate. People do business with people they like, trust, know what they’re
talking about, and who do the right thing. Period. That’s Eshenbaugh Land
Company.
Our land-centric brokerage firm is the only true land brokerage team in the area.
We offer a full spectrum of brokerage and commercial real estate services,
including site selection, buyer and seller representation, consulting and strategic
planning for real estate assets. Our firm has earned a stellar reputation not only by
the clients we serve, but also through a high degree of individual involvement in
many industry associations, continuing education and professional designations.
Together we are multifaceted, multitalented, multigenerational and, most
importantly, work together well for the benefit of our clients – from sharing trend
insights to collaborating on complex deals. Our many repeat clients and respected
reputation in the industry speak volumes about what we do best – as does the
many accolades our team has earned, including numerous “Land Deal of the Year”
awards.
Most recently Eshenbaugh Land Company was named 2014 "Brokerage
Company of the Year" 2014 Pinnacle Award FGCAR and “Best Brokerage
Firm” by NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. The
Company also was honored with the “2014 Crew Excellence Award”.

Bill Eshenbaugh, ALC, CCIM
Bill Eshenbaugh, ALC, CCIM – Active in brokerage and land development in the Tampa Bay area
for more 30 years, Bill has weathered and prospered through several real estate cycles and has a
keen ability to see and forecast trends ahead of the curve. Tenacity and a fervent passion for the
business have earned him the nickname, “The Dirt Dog.” “With land deals, you need to know a little
about a lot of stuff,” Bill explains. “We can put together complex deals because we’re so
knowledgeable. When we walk on a vacant piece of property, we have a checklist a mile long – we
understand all of those issues. We know how to ask those questions and guide people through the
process. If you bring us a piece of land, we know how to identify the issues that get the deal done.”
Bill is a frequent industry speaker, teacher, active board member, has been a director or officer in
most of the major real estate organizations, and has been honored with numerous “Broker of the
Year” awards. Most recently he earned the prestigious Florida 2013 Board-Certified “Land Broker of
the Year Award” by the World Organization Land Federation Advisory Board (WOLF) and “The
Henry Blanton Lifetime Achievement Award” by the Florida Gulfcoast Commercial Association of
Realtors (FGCAR) for his many years of leadership.
