Denver, CO - REALTORS® Land Institute (RLI) has partnered with LandGate as its exclusive educational partner to teach real estate professionals about land resources: property rights, valuations, and transactions associated with solar farms, wind farms, oil and gas, minerals, and more.
“What we’re seeing is a greater emphasis on land resources impacting the value of land transactions. LandGate is the leading provider of data and an online marketplace for US energy commercial real estate. It allows land professionals to easily access the value of
each of these land resources anywhere in the US, and to sell or lease them for landowners” said Aubrie Kobernus, CEO of RLI. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with LandGate to equip our over 1,600 land professionals with additional tools for them to be successful in a rapidly growing energy market” she continued.
Yoann Hispa, CEO of LandGate commented, “RLI has the largest network nationwide of real estate agents specializing in land and we are excited about the opportunity to expose all of their members to the booming energy industry. The RLI network will increase deal flows to energy investors, and accelerate the renewable energy revolution.”
In the past, energy transactions required several technical professionals for months to evaluate a property and locate deals in a complex and opaque market. Today, the revolutionary technologies developed by LandGate will open up the $5 trillion a year commercial real estate energy market to RLI’s vast network of REALTORS®.
“Land real estate agents are the feet on the ground in America. They are in the best position to help landowners monetize their land resource value, and greatly benefit from it. The herculean task we needed to accomplish was to present the very complex energy data in a simple dollar per acre lease or sell value. This Resource LandEstimateTM, proprietary to LandGate, is derived from running accurate engineering studies for each land resource on every parcel in the US, just like an energy investor would but automated and constantly updated. It’s an honor to be selected as RLI’s exclusive educational partner for land resources,” Hispa concluded.
The course offered to RLI members will be ready by Fall 2021. For more information, contact Amanda Morrone at amorrone@nar.realtor.
