Want to live in community but don’t know where to start?
Own land and want to build community in a way that works for you?
Have a small or large community project and need experienced real estate perspective?
I specialize in complex projects involving multi-unit properties with a dedication to community.
Creating an intentional community of any type and scale is an inspiring and monumental task. Groups greatly benefit from someone who deeply understands the terrain and the many choices that you face on your community adventure. I will help you understand what is possible given your vision, your location and your resources. Over the last ten years, I have worked with dozens of groups to move their conversations and dreams forward down a grounded and productive path.
GUEST AT YOUR
MEETING
Invite the key players of your project and bring your burning questions. I’ll get an overview of your project and the questions I ask will help you understand what you know and what you need to know for effective next steps.
When you bring me in on the ground level of your process, we can set a clear course of action. In person or online, this is a low investment strategy opportunity to inform and clarify where your group is at and where you want to go.

TESTIMONIALS
Cassandra pairs passion and knowledge for community land stewardship and acquisition expertise for the perfect bundle of skills that you will want if you’re looking for land with others.
I remember when we first starting thinking about buying land as a group of people over a decade ago, when I first met Cassandra. Lo and behold, she was the thoughtful and encouraging agent that ended up co-brokering our land purchase in 2016! We couldn’t have done it without her!
Cassandra may have been our real estate agent on paper but really she was so much more than that. She is probably better described as a real estate midwife because she guided us through a long and challenging process with many twists and turns and at the end of it all we became the stewards of a place beyond our wildest dreams! She helped us to make sense of a very unique and complex mixed-use property and was not deterred at all by the uncertainty of our fundraising to make it happen all along the way. She called us forward into possibilities we didn’t realize we were ready for, and when it seemed like we hit a barrier she helped us to reorient and connect back with our creativity. Her steadiness, enthusiasm and ability to consider possibilities outside the box is a big reason why the magic was able to flow and the pieces were able to fall into place in the end. Thank you Cassandra!
Cassandra is a unicorn. She has both the practical real estate knowledge and the community skills needed. Cassandra came to us at a time when we were struggling. She held the direction of our group consistently for many months and helped us evolve to the next level. What I like the best about Cassandra is that I never doubted that she was on my side.
Cassandra was essential in helping my team’s project go from vision to reality. In addition to connecting us to the land that we would eventually purchase, she helped us get connected to the many other resources that are needed for community creation. Her care, thoughtfulness, and thoroughness were guiding lights in what can otherwise be a tumultuous process. I couldn’t recommend anybody more highly.
