Company History
Our company was founded on the passion of what makes up most of Iowa, land. Our motto is “Iowa is our factory, land marketing is our craft farmland, transactions are our product, and the people are what make up our business.” Iowa Land Company was founded in by the four Skinner brothers with one goal in mind, making the sales process easier for our clients. Our native Iowan team across Iowa is passionate about land sales. We want to help you as a client get a fair and transparent chance for a successful no stress farm sale. We service your needs and desires as a client, our definition of a client is “a partnership between Iowa Land Company and a person or persons who we are helping sell a farm.”
Our goal is just this, satisfy our clients needs, and help ease the emotions of the land selling experience. At the same time, we advise the client the best we can with our years of experience and expertise in the land brokerage business. With our local presence, Iowa Land Company agents can best serve our clients in a timely and knowledgable fashion. Allow our team and marketing staff to put our years of experience and success into action for you.
Over the past four years, our land business has grown rapidly as we have become the fastest growing land brokerage brand in the state of Iowa. Also, in that time, our team of land agents and land brokers have transacted 30,000 acres to new ownership. Along with that success, we have gained national recognition in 2020 and 2021 for being recognized as one of the best land brokerages in the Midwest by The Land Report.
We have connected land sellers with local farmer land buyers, first time farmers, state and regional land investors, and national investment groups. We sold land in 70 of Iowa 99 counties, that number continues to rise weekly. It is humbling that our clients have connected with our team in such an aggressive manner.

MISSION STATEMENT
WHAT WE DO
OUR CLIENTS ARE TALKING
“My entire experience with Iowa Land Company was very impressive, from start to finish. We contacted Iowa Land Company and the very next day Luke and Matt traveled many miles to the property located in extreme Western Plymouth County, Iowa. They were very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend this company, so grateful we chose them. They were always willing to go above and beyond my expectations. This company gets 5 stars on every aspect on the sale of our 2 properties.”
-Hummel Estate – Plymouth County
“Iowa Land Company was the right decision for us when we decided to sell our family farm. Cody and the rest of the team at Iowa Land Company were knowledgeable and professional from appraisal to closing. Their attention to detail and expansive advertising insured that we received the best outcome from the farm auction. They are a family business that always consider your best interests.”
– Duane Patterson – Mitchell County
“Everyone at Iowa Land Company was so great to work with during a difficult time for our family. We trusted them with our family’s land and they didn’t let us down. Selling farmland is a specialty…but getting top dollar is an art and that’s what they did. I would highly recommend Iowa Land Company!”
– Delong Estate – Calhoun County
“When I started this process for my family, I was a real novice. I didn’t know whether to sell my parents’ farm by working with a real estate agent or by selling by auction. Nick Skinner answered my questions simply, but with much-needed details. I could always rely on Nick to respond to my calls quickly and thoroughly. My siblings and I found it very easy to make the decision to auction the property with Iowa Land Company. They were professional, yet down to earth and friendly. My family highly recommends the four Skinner brothers and the Iowa Land Company!”
– Grunder Estate – Cedar County
“Luke and Matt did an excellent job marketing and selling our family farm in Wright County, Iowa. Their marketing material including a drone video was excellent. Luke and Matt were very professional and responsive and overall it was a pleasure working with them.”
– Dibben Family Trust – Wright County
“After meeting with Iowa Land Company, we knew they were the professionals to use to sell our land. They brought preliminary research and shared what we could expect. Nick and Cody Skinner communicated all details required for the auction and met our timeline. They worked with me on final details for two closings and all went perfect. I definitely would refer them for any land sale or auction.”
– Sandy McDonald – Keith Windus Family Trust
“Luke and Matt did a great job selling our family farm in Sioux County, Iowa. It was a complicated transaction that involved seven sellers living out of state. We appreciated their timely response to our questions and their polite and professional manner.”
– Jennifer Dejong – Sioux County
“Our family recently entrusted Cody and his colleagues at Iowa Land Company to sell our farm. From the beginning, Cody was professional and very knowledgeable in answering our questions and concerns regarding this emotional undertaking. Selling a family farm is stressful and Cody gave us the sense and confidence we needed to move forward with the process. He communicated each step to ensure we did not experience any surprises. He was very responsive to any questions I had during this journey. We had some apprehension and anxiety during this period of Covid-19 and Cody was appreciative of our concerns and made every effort to make sure we were comfortable in our decisions. We were very fortunate to have Cody lead us through the process and highly recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling at this time.”
– Grant Benson
“We can’t say enough good things about this company. They were on top of everything from start to finish. When we decided to sell our farm and house we contacted them and they came right out and took care of everything. It sold in 3 weeks and we could not believe it. We highly recommend them. We would give them 10 stars if we could.”
– Mark & Barb Lillie – Adair County
“I want to thank Cody Skinner, and the entire team at Iowa Land Company, for their help selling my farmland in Grundy County Iowa. As an absentee landowner, I had many questions and concerns about market conditions and the various methods and strategies of selling Iowa farmland. Cody provided detailed market analysis and comparable sales information (over several years) without imposing any pressure to sell. When I decided it was time to make the sale, Cody explained various sale strategies and the pros and cons of each alternative. I decided a live auction would be the best choice and Cody quickly began the advertising process. I was impressed by the quality of the aerial photographs, flyover videos, and narratives produced by Iowa Land Company. These were used to produce postal mailings, handouts, videos on their website, and even a YouTube video. I was kept up to date on all pre-sale activities and all questions, concerns, and requests for needed information were quickly resolved via text and/or email. Cody assembled a group of interested buyers and organized a live auction at the local American Legion in Conrad. I was provided with real time updates throughout the auction process, and Cody sent me a video of the entire auction, as I was not able to be there in person. Cody followed up on post-sale activities ensuring all paperwork was completed and funds were received. There were no surprises and the selling process was easy, comprehensive, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Iowa Land Company and will use them for any questions or concerns I have regarding Iowa farmland in the future.”
– Joel Hall – Grundy County
“Having been a residential broker in California with some experience in real estate marketing but none in farmland – my wife wanted to find someone who could appreciate her parent’s farm and would market it with consideration and respect for the other local farmers.. We checked with several other agencies- Iowa Land Company was our choice. They exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have been a better experience from start to finish. Matt was our broker, a pleasure – thanks again Matt!”
