Land vs residential real estate, with Wayne Dunson
Friday Sep 22, 2023
Friday Sep 22, 2023
Real estate agents, once licensed, can work on a variety of transactions. Those transactions may be commercial, residential, agricultural, or merely just land. The differences between those specializations are drastic and there are numerous credentials that solidify the specialty of a real estate agent. While National Land Realty has a highly successful commercial division, we are here today to talk more about rural land, or as we call it, land professionals. What makes a land professional different than a residential real estate agent besides the name? We are here to today to talk with Texas land professional, Wayne Dunson about exactly that.

Friday Sep 15, 2023
People who work hard and find success often get labeled as lucky. It’s easy to become jealous of those who are successful because it is hard to quantify exactly what effort it took for that individual to find success. Today we are talking with three successful land real estate agents who have worked hard to get there. Part of that work is the Accredited Land Consultant designation, which requires a plane trip, several days of coursework, and countless study hours. Ashley McCraney, Jim Fleissner, and Nicholas Ardis attended the Real Estate Land Institute’s ALC training as well as the APEX awards. Here’s the thing, they did not expect that one of them, Ashley McCraney, would win one of the most prestigious awards of the evening. Ashley was awarded as APEX 2022 National Broker of the Year in Agribusiness Sales by the REALTORS® Land Institute. This is a story of hard work from people who are doing it. This is a story of success. Don’t call these people lucky.

IRS Section 1031 is one of the most powerful exceptions in the IRS tax code for landowners.

Today, Mac Christian talks with David in-depth about 1031 exchanges when to use them, when not to, the politics around 1031 exchanges, and how they can benefit landowners. Disclaimer: This is one of our longer episodes. I completely lost track of time because this is absolutely fascinating information and this runs over an hour. Don’t let that distract you, this episode is full of EXTREMELY valuable information for landowners. Do not miss this.

Exploring land virtually: the future of selling land
Friday Aug 11, 2023
Friday Aug 11, 2023
Today we are talking about a revolutionary piece of technology for land sales, Land Tour 360®. This is a piece of technology developed by National Land Realty so it’s a bit of a plug. Don’t let that fool you though, this is a game changer for selling land. Land Tour 360® gives you the ability to tour land, whatever the size, from the sky, in a true interactive experience, and it’s free for National Land Realty clients. Land Tour 360® enables viewers to view a 3d image of your land, zoom in to points of interest, and even zoom to walkthroughs of buildings on that land. This gives prospective buyers the ability to tour the land before their boots ever touch the ground. In some cases, we have even seen buyers make the purchase without ever even seeing the property in person. Today we are talking to Jeff Phelps, the director of all things Land Tour 360® to get the ins and outs of this technology.
