Wanted to share something from our team at Landman.io, because it captures exactly why we love this business. In mid June we closed on a buy for $712,000, sell for $1.6 million 270 acre parcel in Grady County, Oklahoma, as a JV partner. We split it into 11 individual lots so more buyers could find the fit that worked for them, everything from smaller acreage tracts to a lot with its own pond. Within the first two weeks, our first two lots sold, both at full asking price Along the way we also ran into a real issue, an old mineral operator had left some soil staining and berm erosion on part of the property. Instead of cutting corners, our broker on the ground handled it the right way: repairs, remediation, documentation, all of it, because the people buying this land deserve a clean start. Now a few more lots are actively closing, and we are in conversation with a group interested in the remaining acreage for a larger project. None of this happens without the right people around the deal. It is a good reminder of what is possible when a JV is built on trust, clear communication, and doing things properly even when nobody is watching. If you are working through a subdivision play of your own, or thinking about your first JV, happy to talk through what we learned on this one. Always glad to connect with others building in this space.

Listening to a podcast from October 2025 where Clay recommends pebble I’m wondering if that still stands true in January 2026 for a newbie? Let me know what y’all are experiencing today.

Is there a current code for an extended trial with landportal.com? I’m thinking there is one for 30 days or maybe even 90 days that maybe Clay indicated in recent podcast - I’ll have to go back and listen.

Quick pause before the weekend. What’s one thing you learned this week that actually moved the needle? Land deals, systems, mindset, routines… anything that made you sharper. Drop it below.Someone here probably needs to hear it today.

What is everyone's experience with realtor fees -- flat rate v percentage? I know the normal commission rate is 6-8% depending on the deal size but I had one recently say he does a flat fee anything below $100K. I have a parcel with a market value at $70k-$72K and his flat fee is $6,000. This is clearly higher than 6-8% but I also understand where the realtor is coming from. I also believe a GOOD realtor is worth their weight in gold which I believe this one is. What are your thoughts?
