Leadership
Tackling a problem like real estate vacancy — and the long-term blight, stalled registries, and investor over-purchasing that come with it — is not something most local governments were ever equipped to solve alone.
You are the one managing a growing vacant property registry, trying to move parcels out of limbo, protect neighborhoods from decline, and make sure families have a fair chance to buy homes before investors do.
You’re doing this with limited staff, fragmented data, and systems that were never designed to prevent vacancy — only to react after the damage is done.
That’s where we come in.
Our team brings together experts in real estate development, technology, law, and government who have faced these same challenges inside communities like yours.
After seven years and nearly $4 million invested in research, testing, and real-world deployment, we built the world’s first automated land banking platform — so you don’t have to invent this solution yourself.
Kevin Ra
CEO and Founder
Kevin is a local government "brat" with two parents that were lifelong public servants. First, his father, Charles Ramsey, Sr., was Cleveland's Commissioner of Community Development in the mid-1980s, leading Cleveland to multiple "All America City" designations and helping to lay the foundation to what would later become the Cuyahoga Land Bank. Second, Kevin's mother, Marty, was a leader in state government as the Assistant Economic Development Director for the state of Ohio under both governors Voinovich and DeWine. Kevin is also the god-nephew of legendary political leader George L. Forbes who served for 16 years as president of Cleveland's City Council.
Kevin is a Cleveland-Ohio based real estate investor, litigation consultant, licensed lobbyist and former Windows NT network engineer. As a real estate developer specializing in distressed real estate, Kevin purchased and sold over 300 vacant properties and closed over 4,000 distressed transaction sides over a 20-year career. Thereafter, he authored three U.S. Patents for improvements to methods necessary to complete the transfer 7of real property, including the COVID-19 Neighborhood Stabilization Model created to stabilize property values and create sustainable investments into the nation's poorest urban and rural school districts.
Prior to founding Parcel Revenue in 2018, Kevin ran a boutique litigation consulting firm that specialized in preparing solo law practitioners to litigate real estate and probate cases against the largest banks and financial institutions in the world. He also founded and directed two Cleveland-area non-profits aimed at reducing blight and housing inequality in urban communities.
As an expert litigant, Kevin personally argued the largest lawsuit ever filed (a defamation case) against the state of Ohio ($1.6 Billion) to the Ohio Court of Claims and Tenth District Court of Appeals.
