LandLeader has once again secured its place among the elite in land real estate this year, earning the prestigious badge of “Best Brokerage” by The Land Report for the 12th-straight year. As a trusted source in the land industry, The Land Report annually recognizes only the top-performing land brokerages nationwide as part of their spring issue—making this recognition not just a badge of honor but a testament to LandLeader’s continued leadership and excellence in rural real estate.
Why LandLeader Stands Out as a Best Brokerage
In 2024, LandLeader delivered impressive results across the board:
- $651 million in listings represented
- 111,863 acres sold (over 306 acres per day)
- Nearly 900 successful transactions
This data reflects not just volume—but consistent, high-quality service in a challenging real estate landscape.
Historic Deal of the Year: California Outdoor Properties
As part of the LandLeader network, California Outdoor Properties was awarded the “Historic Deal of the Year” by The Land Report for the sale of Reservation Ranch. This deal is a major highlight from the 2025 Best Brokerages issue and represents the kind of high-caliber work that defines LandLeader affiliates.
In addition to this historic deal, California Outdoor Properties has maintained an incredible run—earning a spot on The Land Report’s Best Brokerages list from 2011 to 2025, a 15-year streak that reflects unmatched excellence in the industry.
Market Resilience & Buyer Adaptability
Despite economic uncertainty and tight inventory, LandLeader reported a strong surge in buyer and seller activity in early 2025. Financing and negotiation complexities persist, but LandLeader’s national network has continued to push through obstacles with professionalism and precision.
Notable Achievements in 2024
With affiliates covering regions coast to coast, LandLeader specializes in:
- Luxury ranches
- Hunting and recreational properties
- Timberland and waterfront real estate
- Farms, homesteads, and income-producing acreage
The Land Report: The Voice of the American Landowner
Often referred to as The Magazine of the American Landowner, The Land Report is a premier publication that shines a spotlight on the people, properties, and brokerages shaping America’s land market. Each year, their Best Brokerages list is highly anticipated, providing an authoritative look at the country’s leading land real estate firms.
The annual rankings are based on total self-reported domestic land sales through traditional brokerage channels, with data collected in early 2025. The Land Report editors select brokerages that demonstrate not only strong sales figures but also integrity, regional expertise, and a reputation for excellence.
Being named a Best Brokerage by The Land Report reflects more than just numbers—it reflects trust, credibility, and leadership in a highly competitive space.
The Outlook for 2025
With market activity already strong in the early months of 2025, LandLeader expects continued growth in land sales. While inventory remains tight and some financing challenges persist, the company anticipates a more positive market landscape compared to the second half of 2024.
Land continues to prove itself as a resilient and valuable investment—and LandLeader is proud to help Americans across the country buy and sell their piece of it.
A Best Brokerage With a Proven Track Record
Being named a Best Brokerage by The Land Report is more than a yearly accolade—it’s a reflection of LandLeader’s lasting impact, trusted relationships, and unmatched results.
