About

Built by People Who Sourced Land the Hard Way

Pearson Partners finds land that works. We source and measure residential build sites across the Wasatch Front and put that work in the hands of the builders and investors who act on it.

The company exists because we spent years doing this by hand. Sourcing against a buy box means driving lots, pulling parcel records, and eliminating most of what looked promising on paper. The elimination is the work — and it does not scale. Measuring an entire county once, and keeping only what survives, is the same job done in a way that does.

Land wholesaling, ADU site leads — Pearson Partners keeps innovation the focus.

Colby Pearson, Founder

Colby spent five years sourcing land for builders across the Midwest and Pacific West through the construction boom, working against builder needs other people had given up on. Pearson Partners finds the data that leads to success when no one else can.

That work sits on top of a decade inside Utah real estate and commercial property deals. Licensed in Utah, he spent five years as a regional property manager before joining a team working on commercial tenant projects — time on the ownership side of that work shapes how we produce data from an angle most forget: with the owner in mind. The other five years has been focused on commercial property condition assessments. The very key eye for detail that was developed looking at condition assessments for big investors is now being applied in every product Pearson Partners produces.

His technical skills came from building programs and systems for problems that resisted simpler tools — SQL infrastructure for large and complex datasets, and Python pipelines that refresh, reconcile, and validate data at volumes no one wants to check by hand. What carries over is a bias toward the final product and the process that created it needing careful calibration and refinement. At the end of the day, data that can start in a computer and end in a phone call is worth something. A spreadsheet of parcel numbers or raw data is just more homework.

Important Disclaimers:

Pearson Partners measures, we do not entitle. Everything we ship is a physical measurement of a parcel and its structures, plus public ownership record. A measured pad means a rectangle of that size fits inside the setbacks after existing buildings are removed. It is not a determination that a unit can be permitted on that lot. Zoning interpretation, utility capacity, easements, soils, floodplain, fire access and impact fees are settled at the city counter, and nothing here substitutes for that.

We are not your architect, engineer, attorney, lender or agent. Nothing on this site is legal, engineering, appraisal or brokerage advice, and no client relationship is created by reading it or by licensing a territory. Confirm every rule with the city and every professional question with a licensed professional in that discipline.

The October 1 statement describes state law and city ordinance status, not any individual lot. Utah Code § 10-21-304 takes effect 2026-10-01. Our reading that seven covered cities do not presently permit a detached accessory dwelling unit is research into published ordinances as of that review, not a legal opinion, and cities amend their codes. The statute preserves city authority over setbacks, unit size, height and lot coverage, so a lot that satisfies the statute can still be limited by local rules. No specific parcel is represented as eligible, approvable or permitted.

The data is a dated snapshot and it is not guaranteed complete. Parcel geometry, structures and ownership come from county and state sources current to 2026-08-05. Properties sell, buildings go up, records carry errors, and coverage varies by county. Figures on this page are measured from the shipped file on the date stated. We correct errors we find, but we do not warrant that any row is accurate, complete or current, and territory licenses are sold on that basis.

Contact data carries obligations that pass to the licensee. Owner names and mailing addresses are compiled from public record and are provided for the licensee's own outreach. How you use them is your responsibility, including telephone, text, email and do-not-contact rules. We do not screen contacts against any do-not-call registry and we do not provide telephone numbers.
