Hi, I’m Shema.
I’ve always been the person who loves solving problems most people avoid.
Those career tests? They all said the same thing troubleshooting was my lane.
The truth is, I feel at home calling the county, digging through zoning codes, and piecing together feasibility puzzles.
I built Empyrean Development to be the go-to due diligence resource for Arizona land because when you know exactly what you have, you can move forward without second-guessing.
Today, I’m actively sourcing off-market land and guiding owners and investors with due diligence blueprints to uncover opportunities but..
Entitlements are an area of real estate I truly value, and one I aspire to handle more directly as my business evolves.
While this isn’t my primary focus at the moment, it’s a part of the land process that I treasure. There’s something deeply rewarding about helping land move through the approvals and planning stages that ultimately shape how it will be used.
To me, entitlement work is about creative problem-solving, understanding the opportunities and challenges within a property, navigating the layers of process and policy, and helping unlock potential that aligns with both builder goals and community needs.
As I continue building trusted relationships and deepening my understanding in this space, I maintain connections with experienced partners, especially for larger entitlement plays, often 40 acres and above, and I approach each opportunity with genuine curiosity and care.
It’s a part of this work I’m eager to lean into more over time, a space where careful planning and collaboration can help land reach its best potential.

Rural land holds so much promise—but without clear answers, it’s easy to feel stuck.
Can I build here? What will it take? Is this really the right fit for the life I want?
Even land with great potential can sit idle if the path forward feels uncertain.
That’s where due diligence comes in—zoning clarity, feasibility checks, and grounded insight to help you make aligned decisions without second-guessing.
Because when your land plans are rooted in truth, not guesswork, you can move forward with peace of mind.
