Chappell’s Maggie Sparling Announced As LandCon Panelist
Chappell [Powered by Compass] is proud to announce that Maggie Sparling, Vice President of Land Acquisition, has been selected as a featured panelist at this season’s highly anticipated LandCon event, hosted by WithersRavenel.
LandCon, a premier Triangle-based forum for land acquisition professionals, brings together top talent from across development sectors to exchange ideas, analyze trends, and foster strategic collaboration. The invitation-only panel recognizes leaders shaping the region’s real estate landscape, and Sparling’s inclusion is a testament to her trailblazing work in residential infill and land development throughout North Carolina.
“I’m honored to be joining this year’s LandCon panel and to represent the incredible work our team is doing at Chappell,” said Sparling. “Our goal is to transform raw land into thoughtful, connected communities. That means being equally focused on feasibility and the long-term impact our developments leave behind. I’m excited to share our approach with fellow leaders and to keep pushing the land conversation forward in a meaningful way.”
Since joining Chappell, Sparling has played a critical role in identifying high-potential opportunities and guiding acquisition strategies across a range of residential projects.
A leader in site feasibility, entitlement navigation, and long-range planning, she brings a rare blend of technical knowledge and vision-first thinking to each opportunity. Her insight has positioned her as a trusted voice in the Triangle’s evolving development landscape.
The upcoming LandCon event will feature a focused panel titled “The State of the Land Market,” where Sparling will share her perspective on the current challenges, trends, and opportunities shaping land acquisition in the region.
“Our goal is to transform raw land into thoughtful, connected communities. That means being equally focused on feasibility and the long-term impact our developments leave behind.”

“Maggie is an innovative leader who’s not afraid to challenge the status quo and approach acquisition with equal parts data and intuition,” said Johnny Chappell, Owner and Founder of Chappell. “Her ability to identify opportunities where others see obstacles makes her an incredible asset to our team and to the broader development community. We’re proud to have her representing our team and the work that we’re doing here in the Triangle and beyond.”
Founded in 2024, LandCon was created by WithersRavenel’s Jed Byrne to fill a need in the marketplace for land-focused dialogue.
Unlike broad development conferences, LandCon provides a dedicated platform for land acquisition professionals to connect, collaborate, and share ideas. The event attracts leaders from homebuilding, multifamily, retail, flex industrial, medical, and office sectors across the Triangle.
One of LandCon’s defining features is its open, conversational format. Audience participation is encouraged, creating an environment where attendees can speak candidly about challenges, lessons learned, and best practices. The result is a more authentic and practical exchange than what’s typically found at industry events.
Sparling’s upcoming panel appearance highlights Chappell’s growing leadership in residential development across the Triangle. Her thoughtful approach to land strategy reflects the company’s broader commitment to delivering purposeful communities that serve both market demand and long-term livability.
