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.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every industry, and land brokerage is no exception.

In this episode of the American Land Seller Podcast, Koby Rickertsen sits down with Steve Atkinson, Principal Broker at Fay Ranches and the creator of Pathcrest, a technology platform built specifically for land professionals.

Drawing from years of experience representing farms, ranches, recreational properties, and investment land, Steve shares why the land industry needed technology designed around the unique challenges of rural real estate instead of adapting tools built for residential sales.

Together, they discuss how artificial intelligence, mapping technology, and better property data are changing the way land is bought and sold, while also helping landowners, investors, producers, and brokers make more informed decisions.

Whether you're a land professional looking to work more efficiently or a landowner wanting to understand how technology is changing the marketplace, this conversation offers practical insights into where the industry is headed and why relationships will always remain at the center of great land brokerage.
