About Harvey McMurray Jr.
Institutional Experience, Applied to Land
Before founding Terra Preta Partners, Harvey worked across private markets, investor relations, business development, asset management and investment banking. His experience at StepStone Group and Invesco included alternative-investment education, portfolio analysis, diligence, reporting and client relationships. That background shapes Terra Preta’s approach: study the parcel, explain the material assumptions and communicate clearly from initial evaluation through closing.

How Harvey Evaluates Vacant Land
Vacant land can look simple while its value depends on details that are easy to miss. Terra Preta reviews county and deed records, title information, legal access, zoning, minimum lot requirements, utilities, septic feasibility, topography, wetlands, flood exposure, taxes, recent comparable sales and local buyer demand. Every parcel receives an individual review, and owners are encouraged to compare net proceeds, certainty, timeline and required effort before choosing how to sell.
