Agent Bio

A native of Northwest Iowa Luke grew up in a farmhouse surrounded by farmland for as far as they eye could see. Starting his career in residential real estate investing/ renovating he learned the craft of investing in the right deals to earn a return on investment. Learning this robust atmosphere at a early age has helped Luke relay his investment knowledge with clients in the farmland sector. Invest in a tangible investment is the smartest, most rewarding, and safest investment in today’s market.

Following his early stint in investing into real estate Luke transitioned into farmland transactions and more direct farmland auctions. Luke has attended World Wide College of Auctioneering in Mason City, IA. He currently holds the lead auctioneer and auction director duties at Iowa Land Company. Here is where he leads a full service in house land auction team. It is his goal to be the most advanced land auctioneer in Iowa. Understanding the auction marketing method can be hard to keep with. The market is ever advancing and it takes the right eye to fill the gaps in the land industry. Staying ahead of the curve in marketing takes a team to manage.

Luke spends his work week in northern Iowa and south central Iowa. Sharing both time in our Fort Dodge office and Indianola office. Wether you are looking to settle a farmland estate or acquire land to add to your investment portfolio contact Luke for your land interest.

Testimonial

I worked with Luke and Matt on the sale of some of my land in Buena Vista County. I was impressed by not only their knowledge but also their professionalism in the marketing and then the sale of this land. A lot of great compliments after the auction on their professionalism. I would recommend the Iowa Land Company to anyone who is either looking to buy or sell.
– Ellrich Trust – Buena Vista County

We had a great experience with Luke and the team at Iowa Land Company. They are diligent and responsive to any issues. They provided an excellent service and communicated very clearly with us about our property, offered great advice, and eventually helped us sell and close our farmland in Dayton. The closing attorney Luke recommended to us for the sale was also able to aid us with miscellaneous legal matters which was a plus. Taking care of 2 birds with 1 stone. I highly recommend Iowa Land Company. Thanks Luke.

Luke and Matt Skinner did an excellent job in the sale of my farm. Would use again if I needed a realtor! Highly recommend!

My entire experience with the 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 Ranch – Plymouth County

Luke was easy to work with. He sold my land quickly for the price I was asking. Other realtors advised me my land was worth less than half of what I was asking but Luke was able to sell it for what it was worth.

Luke met me the very next day, and we spent unhurried time walking the 40 acres. As an outdoorsman himself, Luke pointed out numerous animal signs I had overlooked. I had several questions about the cabin on the property, and his attention to detail and personable manner made it easy to make decisions. He was able to answer all of the questions that day.

Since a group of people was selling this great piece of land, Luke had many tasks to coordinate in our land negotiations. He proved to be trustworthy, efficient, and readily available. As a busy person, my phrase is, “I want things done yesterday,” and again, Luke was there to make it happen. I now own my dream land, and my wife and I plan to enjoy peaceful weekends there with our family. Thank you, Luke Skinner and Iowa Land Company.

Phil Hamman – Sioux City, Iowa

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!

I was impressed by not only their knowledge but also their professionalism in the marketing and then the sale of this land. I would recommend the Iowa Land Company to anyone who is either looking to buy or sell.
