Different Backgrounds. Different Paths. One Place to Build a Career. There’s no one “right” path to a career in land. Whether you’re coming from a land-focused industry, a development background, residential real estate, or something entirely different, National Land Realty was built to give you a place to grow. But don’t just take our word for it. Hear from some of our National Land agents who took different paths to get here and how their experience has shaped their careers with us.
If your background is in…
Forestry... The same relationship-building skills that helped me grow my forestry consulting business—securing clients, marketing timber sales, and earning repeat business through trust and referrals—have translated seamlessly into real estate. Many of my forest management clients will eventually need real estate services, and my association with National Land Realty has allowed me to better serve them throughout the entire lifecycle of land ownership. I chose to become a Broker with National Land Realty because of their industry- leading support, advanced technology, and strong national presence. Their team provides access to experts across all areas of land real estate, giving me valuable resources to better serve my clients. The Customer Relationship Management tools help me stay connected with buyers, sellers, and long-term prospects, while their ongoing education and referral network continue to create new opportunities for growth.

Development... I have a sales background in the building and construction industry, and this professional experience has tethered me to developers, home builders, and large land buyers. NLR has several tools that make it easy to identify and connect with landowners that I can introduce to my existing network. Tools like Commercial TAP make it easy to map and select high-value land targets, and our continued investment in data gathering allows me to focus my efforts around existing developments. Marketing tools like Storymaps and our partnerships with platforms like Crexi and Costar help both sell and identify commercially focused properties. Also having elevated access to mapping and GIS programs like Acres make it easier to analyze and sell land, no matter the intended use.

Residential... Since switching to National Land Realty from a locally owned brokerage that was heavy in residential listings, the quality of my clients and listings has gone up drastically. Not only have I represented sellers in more land transactions in the last year and half, but my buyer quality has improved and they are more serious and looking for more substantial properties. National Land Realty has not only the tools to take me to the next level but also the support. From marketing and GIS to the auction, commercial, and agricultural departments there is something for every situation. National Land provides everything I need to be prepared and professional when working with my clients.
