Land Link

What Land Link does

Land Link LLC is a commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in residential land transactions, founded in 2009 and headquartered in St. Charles, Illinois. The firm serves homebuilders, developers, real estate investors, and banks/financial institutions, providing services spanning acquisition, disposition, due diligence, receiverships, and land development advisory. The leadership team—principally Founder and Managing Broker Richard Konstan and Senior Broker Stuart Spaeth—brings combined experience of nearly 40 years with prior tenures at D.R. Horton, Klaff L.P., Janko Group, and Hoffman Homes, supporting a track record cited at $250 million+ in career property acquisitions, 1,200+ lots acquired, and 1,000+ homes developed across multiple Illinois communities. The company operates without a proprietary technology platform or software product; its work product is broker-led, relationship-driven deal sourcing and advisory.

Land Link's revenue model is transaction-based, earning a 3.5% commission on gross sales price for both improved and unimproved real property, with gross sales price defined to include all consideration including assumption or release of existing liabilities. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct: brokers engage homebuilders and developers through tailored property criteria matching, serve sellers through product repositioning and disposition advisory, and support banks through receivership and troubled-asset disposition consultancy. Distribution channels include the company website with listed properties, LinkedIn presence, direct phone inquiries, and e-brochure-driven marketing. Geographic footprint covers the Chicago metropolitan area (headquarters in St. Charles, Illinois) and the Phoenix Valley metropolitan area in Arizona, where the company established operations in April 2020 under Branch Manager Monica Shumway, with stated coverage including Gilbert, Tempe, Surprise, Queen Creek, and Scottsdale.

The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped with no institutional investment or external funding disclosed. It is structured as an Illinois LLC and operates with a small team of approximately 4-6 personnel across both markets. Customer segments are diversified across three primary groups—land buyers/homebuilders, land sellers/property owners, and banks/financial institutions—which mitigates single-segment dependency but also means revenue depends on transactional volatility tied to land deal flow in two Sun Belt-adjacent regional markets.
