# Retained Site Sourcing: A Standing Land Search | FOUND

A standing search across the North Carolina counties you name. FOUND keeps reading parcel records and local decisions, and brings you candidates as they surface.

## A search that keeps running

Good sites surface on their own schedule, and local rules change between board meetings. A retained search watches both.

## What stays on

- **The parcel search.** County records in your target counties, read against your requirements.
- **The local calendar.** Moratoriums adopted, extended, and expired; ordinance drafts; rezoning cases; hearings.
- **Utility and infrastructure news.** Announced substations, lines, and large projects that change what a location can support.
- **Your short list.** Candidates are re-read when something around them changes.

## Why a standing search finds more

A one-time search is a photograph. A county that was closed last spring may have adopted standards you can meet. A tract that failed on access may sit beside a road project that is now funded. The sites that fit are often the ones that changed.

## How it works

1. We write your requirements down once: use, scale, counties, and what ends a site for you.
2. New candidates reach you with the record already read and the open questions marked.
3. We review the requirements with you on a regular schedule and adjust them.

## Who it suits

Developers with a pipeline to fill, builders who need a steady supply of lots, and buyers who want first look without building a research team.

## Questions

### Can requirements change during the search?

Yes. Most do, as early candidates show what matters.
