It’s not every day that your boss gets to sit you down in front of an audience and let you validate your existence. Today is that day. In this episode, the CEO of National Land Realty gets to ask me anything on his mind about how we do things at National Land Realty. Ronnie Richardson is today’s host and he has worked with land real estate long enough to have sold properties in the original 13 colonies… “I’m probably getting fired for that comment but it was worth it.”
Ronnie is one of the best land agents in the country and today he gets to ask me what the heck we do for our agents. If you’re an agent and you want to know how companies like National Land Realty work, or if you are a land owner and you are curious how land agents market your property, this episode is for you.

Today Mac Christian is talking with the crew from Buckventures! Cole Cannon, Jeff Danker, and Daniel McVay are here and we are tackling a controversial topic, shot placement and hunt ethics. Now, we have to put a disclaimer on this, because there is no shortage of opinion on this topic. Shot placement and hunting ethics are personal standards that hunters must put on themselves. It’s a line that you draw personally and we aren’t judging anybody else’s standards. We are discussing our own standards here and it’s a line we have all established for ourselves. However, make sure to find National Land Realty’s social media post on this podcast to chip in on this conversation, we’d love to hear your opinion. Also in this podcast, we discuss charitable causes and volunteer efforts that the Buckventures team are engaged in. That is something with absolutely zero controversy, the team is doing amazing work with kids. There’s a lot of great content here.

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. Wayne actually works with both residential and rural land real estate which provides terrific insight on the differences between the two.

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. This exception allows the postponement of tax on the gains created from the proceeds of land or investment property if the proceeds are reinvested in a similar land or investment property. David Gorenberg is the Director of Education for Accruit, a 1031 exchange intermediary. David has made a career out of building 1031 exchange programs and providing 1031 education for more than 30 years, which makes him one of the leading experts on 1031 exchanges in the United States. 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.
