Our People

RLI members know the value of being part of The Voice of Land.

• 

  Joining REALTORS Land Institute and earning my Accredited Land Consultant designation has truly shaped who I am as a land professional. In a state with more than 21,000 real estate brokers and agents—many of whom focus on residential work—RLI gave me the knowledge, confidence, and credibility to specialize in what I’m passionate about: land. The education is designed specifically for land professionals, and the networking is invaluable. Being surrounded by colleagues who understand the economics, trends, and unique challenges of land real estate has made me better at serving my clients and helping them reach their goals. But what I value most about RLI is the community. It’s a group of people who encourage and support one another, who share ideas, who collaborate, and who genuinely want to see each other succeed. The personal and professional growth I’ve experienced through RLI is something I couldn’t have found anywhere else. If you work with land—or want to—you’ll find your people here. RLI is where land professionals grow.

  Shortly after becoming a licensed REALTOR in 2016 I discovered the REALTOR Land Institute through a colleague. RLI Upper Midwest Chapter has sponsored several learning opportunities that have complemented my real estate career working on the edge of the Twin Cities suburbs in Minnesota. Coupled with my previous career working in marketing and communications for farmer-owned organizations, and my continued ownership in the family farm, RLI is providing me with knowledge and relationships that make me a better REALTOR for the future.

  “As a broker focused 100% on land transactions, I was in search of an industry group made up of like minded professionals. I found that in RLI. I was optimistic that it would present the opportunity to grow both my network and my skillset and RLI has continually delivered in both categories. My only disappointment is that I didn't join years ago!”

  "If you want to further your land career, gain more education, and network with other land professionals, you need to join RLI! What you don't know, you don't know. After joining RLI, I realized quickly how much I could grow professionally from realizing better ways to showcase a property, to identifying aspects of a transaction that I need to be more aware of when representing clients. This is a fabulous organization that comes together to ensure everyone succeeds."

  "I joined RLI because I was deeply interested in learning more about practicing land real estate at a high level and it was clear from the start that RLI was an authoritative voice in the field. Moreover, the network of real life, experienced land agents willing to help me was staggering. The knowledge, sincerity, camaraderie, and fun I get out of being an RLI member is invaluable. I say often that it is the best professional organization I have associated myself with, regardless of local, state, or national scale."
