About Us
A vanguard is a group that leads the way in new developments and ideas—and that's exactly how we approach land acquisition and project support. We're not just here to get the job done. We're here to raise the bar for what collaborative land solutions should be.
From renewable energy and oil & gas to utilities, infrastructure, and telecommunications, we serve the industries shaping the future. Our nationwide network and responsive team model give clients the flexibility, consistency, and clarity they need to keep projects moving forward.
Vanguard was founded by Jon Yoachim on the belief that land acquisition is fundamentally about people. Relationships with landowners, communities, clients, and teams are at the core of everything we do. We know those relationships don't just happen. They're built over time through honesty, hard work, and follow-through.
We're not a faceless firm. We're real people who care deeply about delivering exceptional results and doing things the right way. While our team and network of key partners come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, we share a commitment to integrity, professionalism, and progress. Whether we're supporting early-stage site development or navigating complex title issues, we bring a spirit of innovation backed by real-world experience.
Rooted in Midwestern values and operating nationwide, we bring a rare mix of grit, agility, and forward-thinking solutions. Clients count on us for our ability to scale when needed, without losing the personal touch that sets us apart. Every project matters, and no client gets lost in the shuffle.
We also believe in building teams that reflect our values and your project's needs. Our careful onboarding and vetting process ensures you're supported by the right people with the right skills, right from the start.
