Listing feasibility studies for real estate agents
James Kehl Architects prepares feasibility studies for real estate agents with residential lots in good Ohio neighborhoods that have sat on the market. A buyer sees what the lot allows under zoning, a design for what could be built there, and renderings and a short walkthrough of it, all prepared by an Ohio registered architect. A lot that has not sold usually has one problem: buyers cannot picture what they would build there. The study answers that question.
What is in a listing feasibility study?
A short, clear study an agent can put in the listing and hand to buyers:
- a zoning summary: the district, setbacks, height limit, lot coverage and the uses allowed, with the source named;
- a site diagram showing the buildable area, the drive and the best spot for a house or addition;
- one design for what could be built: a plan and an exterior, sized to the lot and the neighborhood;
- photoreal renderings of that design, and a short walkthrough video;
- a one-page summary in plain words, with what a buyer should check next (survey, utilities, review boards).
Who is it for?
Agents with a residentially zoned lot in a good neighborhood that has been on the market longer than it should: a wooded or sloped lot, an odd shape, a setback or easement question, or land in a town with design review, such as New Albany, Granville or Upper Arlington. The study gives buyers a house they can see on the land and gives a tired listing new pictures to relaunch with.
How does it work?
Send the address, the parcel number and the listing photos through the inquiry form. JKA checks the zoning and the parcel, agrees the scope in writing, and delivers the study in a set number of days agreed up front. A site visit is added when the lot needs one.
Is the design a promise of what can be built?
No. A feasibility study shows what the lot appears to allow and one way to use it. A buyer still confirms the survey, utilities and approvals, and a final design is drawn for the buyer once they own the property. The study says so plainly.

Short answers
How can I sell a lot that has sat on the market in Ohio?
Show buyers what they could build there. James Kehl Architects prepares listing feasibility studies for Ohio agents: a zoning summary, a site diagram, one design sized to the lot, and renderings and a walkthrough a buyer can see.
What does a lot feasibility study include?
What the zoning allows on the lot (setbacks, height, coverage and uses), where a house or addition fits, one design sized to the lot, and renderings of it, with what a buyer should check next.
Is a feasibility study the same as a design for the buyer?
No. It shows one way to use the lot so buyers can picture it. Once a buyer owns the property, JKA can draw their own design and the permit set.
