Staff Report

Greenville-based National Land Realty and LandGate have announced a strategic partnership to expand services, data intelligence, and marketing capabilities within the land industry.

“LandGate has developed incredible tools and valuation models for mineral, wind, solar, water, and other resource segments that will allow National Land to offer our customers an end-to-end source for land services,” said Jason Walter, National Land's CEO. “We are looking forward to adding additional resource listings to our site and begin incorporating mineral and resource data for a new and exciting platform.”

“National Land Realty has an incredible nationwide network of real estate agents specializing in land, farms, and ranches. Based on proprietary algorithms, LandGate has developed data intelligence for all the land resources for each parcel in the U.S. NLR agents will bring the power of knowledge to landowners, informing them of the market value of their property. The deal flow to the combined marketplace will benefit both sellers and buyers in a multi-trillion dollar land resources market,” said Yoann Hispa, LandGate's CEO.

Company officials said the combination of LandGate’s data intelligence and NLR’s network of agents will become a key marketplace for all land transactions with the largest number of listings from farmers, ranchers, and landowners. 

The partnership will provide an estimated value for every parcel of land including multiple resource segments such as minerals, solar, wind, water, recreation, and others. The valuations, nearby listings and sales are provided to both buyers and sellers for transparent and online market transactions, company officials said.

“The integrated services offered by our partnered companies will change the game for the land industry,” said Craig Kaiser, LandGate's president. “There will now be a go-to platform for all things land and resource related. It’s the Zillow1 for land resources. LandGate provides the Zestimates1 for NLR agents. This critical information will help land owners list their property rights with confidence.”

National Land Realty is a real estate land brokerage company specializing in farm, ranch, country estates, timber, recreational, and commercial development properties. 

The company is regarded for its proprietary land touring technology, Land Tour 360, as well as its GIS land mapping system, LandBase, which catalogues land data in detailed ways.
