Brenda J. Yates, President

 Yates & Company provides Planning and Project Management services for financial institutions, land owners, builders, and developers throughout the State of Florida, specializing in large scale mixed-use developments and complex approval processes. With over 25 years experience, our team manages all aspects of a project, from the initial site evaluation and project design through the master planning, permitting, and management of the final constructed project.   

To assist in the evaluation of your site, Yates & Company will prepare a Comprehensive Due Diligence Analysis summarizing the property’s characteristics, entitlements, permits, infrastructure and financial needs. With the expert knowledge of local planning and zoning procedures, we can identify the steps necessary to achieve the best use for the property.  We understand the development process and will coordinate the project consultants through the land approval and permitting process to achieve the client’s goals in a cost effective and time efficient manner and ensure that projects are delivered on-time. 

 Licensed in both Florida and North Carolina, we can provide Commercial and Residential real estate brokerage services to achieve a successful closing on your purchase or sale of land.
