About The REALTORS Land Institute
The REALTORS® Land Institute is an affiliate of the over
million-member National Association of REALTORS®. It is the only branch
of the REALTOR® family focused on land brokerage transactions of five
specialized types:
(1) farms and ranches
(2) undeveloped tracts of land
(3) transitional and development land
(4) subdivision and wholesaling of lots
(5) site selection and assemblage of land parcels.
Originally named the Farm & Land Institute, it was organized in
1944, and has been dedicated for over six decades to improving the
professional competence of its members in land brokerage. In addition
to brokerage of the five main types that are unique to the Institute,
its individual members frequently engage in other land specialties such
as agribusiness, appraisal, consulting and management.

estate professionals interested in the improvement of their

is carried out through various programs. As a leading land education
