#123 - The $10M Land Deal That Almost Left Us Working for Free: The Risk Every Land Agent Faces with Jeff Fern
3/6/2026
On today's episode of The American Land Man Podcast, we are back in the studio with Jeff Fern. We discuss:
Buyer agency agreements matter more when seller-paid commission is uncertain.
Local market knowledge helps investors avoid overpriced land deals.
Profit in land investing is usually made when the property is bought right.
Overpriced listings can sit for years when sellers ignore real market data.
Large tracts require a specific buyer with capital and a clear strategy.
“Trophy managed” is often overstated when the habitat work is not there.
Hunting land buyers often expect food plots, water, trails, and blinds.
Extra homes can hurt value when buyers do not want landlord headaches.
Sellers price with emotion, but buyers usually focus on numbers and data.
Sometimes the smartest investment move is walking away from the deal.
And So Much More!
