Founded in 1986, the original focus of LRM was on farm management services for local and absentee landowners. Since the early 1990’s it has evolved to include real estate sales specializing in farmland and hobby farms. We have agents who specialize in farmland sales and have expertise with 1031 exchanges.
As experts in farm management, we work closely with owners to identify their goals and explain the options they may consider. Once a plan is selected we locate the best operator for the owner and negotiate the agreements. We take care of details in a timely manner, such as paying the taxes, making sure proper insurance is in place, monitoring the conservation practices, and overseeing any capital improvements to the property to optimize the return to our land owners. Communicating with the operator and owner to maintain and improve the quality of the land is key to our success.
