The language in your deed is known as a right to first refusal. This means that you need to first make an offer to the original seller to see if he or she is interested in repurchasing the land. If he or she accepts, then you've found a buyer and you can start negotiating the terms of the sale. If he or she declines, then you are free to put the property on the market. If you don't take this step, however, you may be liable for breach of contract because you've effectively promised to give the original seller an opportunity to repurchase the property from you.
