In this episode, the co-founder of Pebble REI and host of the Land Investing Business Secrets Podcast reveals how his platform now serves both land investors and mineral rights companies. Discover the striking parallels between these two real estate niches, from direct mail campaigns to county records research.

About Jessey Kwong
Jessey Kwong is the co-founder of Pebble REI, a comprehensive land acquisition platform that has revolutionized how investors and companies manage property portfolios. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Jessey also hosts the “Land Investing Business Secrets” podcast, where he interviews industry leaders and shares strategies for scaling real estate businesses.
Jessey’s entrepreneurial journey began with a background in business from the University of British Columbia and art school, where he developed his creative skills in design. He discovered real estate investing and made his first land deal in Bend, Oregon, closing the transaction via Facebook Marketplace. That initial $500 investment, which he flipped for $5,000 in just weeks, launched what would become a successful land investing career.
Recognizing the inefficiencies in traditional land investing workflows, Jessey co-founded Pebble REI to streamline the entire acquisition process – from data management and direct mail campaigns to due diligence and deal tracking. What started as a tool for land flippers has evolved into a platform serving all types of land investors, from mineral rights firms to traditional land acquisition businesses.
