  Jul 31, 202645 minS4

  What makes a piece of land truly valuable? For Texas REALTOR® Jenna Searcey, the answer goes far beyond acres and price per acre. Land represents family history, stewardship, opportunity, and a responsibility to leave something better for the next generation. In this episode of The American Land Seller , Koby Rickertsen sits down with Jenna to discuss growing up in a family whose roots in Knox County, Texas date back to 1887, and how that history influences the way she serves landowners today. Together they explore the emotional side of buying and selling land, why water remains one of the most valuable resources in rural Texas, and how local knowledge can make all the difference in a successful transaction. They also discuss: • Multi-generational land ownership • Stewardship versus simple ownership • Water, soil, and agricultural production • Farm and ranch insurance, including pivot irrigation coverage • Helping families navigate inherited land • Why relationships still matter in rural real estate • The value of the REALTORS® Land Institute and continuing education • Advice for new land professionals Whether you're a landowner, REALTOR®, farmer, rancher, investor, or simply someone who appreciates rural America, this conversation is a reminder that land isn't just an asset. It's a legacy.

  Family, Land, and Legacy: A Generational Transition in Real Estate

  Jun 19, 202651 minS4

  What happens when a successful land broker starts preparing the next generation to take over? In this episode, Koby Rickertsen sits down with Jeff and Cody Switzer of Rocky Mountain Ranch & Land to discuss one of the most important and least talked about topics in rural real estate: succession. Jeff shares lessons learned from decades in land development and brokerage, while Cody offers the perspective of a younger broker stepping into a leadership role. The conversation covers family business dynamics, mentoring the next generation, the evolution of land marketing, Sports Afield's role in their business, and why so many landowners fail to prepare for transition until it's too late. If you're a broker, landowner, rancher, farmer, or business owner thinking about legacy and long-term planning, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
