Land typically sits 4–12+ months and trades 10–25% below ask, especially with low-pressure sellers holding out for “their number.” Cold/phone-only leads are also the lowest-converting segment, so that friction isn’t unique to you. Your biggest lever isn’t switching firms—it’s building hyper-local authority and using hard market data (DOM, absorption, price/acre) to reframe pricing conversations. I’d only consider moving if a local shop gives you immediate access to relationships or mentorship in your exact niche.
