For sellers

Sell your land the way you’d want to be treated.

Quiet, member-first, and closed under one roof — with the tax and legacy questions handled right alongside the sale, not tacked on after it.

01
Off-market first look

Your land goes quietly to 500 vetted Nebraska members before anyone else hears about it. No public listing, no drone photos on the internet, no coffee-shop talk.

02
One number: 3%

Seller-paid, all-in — roughly half the 5–6% a conventionally marketed listing costs. On a $2M farm, that difference is about $60,000 staying in your pocket.

03
Not sure you even want to sell?

Ask about keeping the ground and deferring the tax. The same intake covers all three paths — you don’t have to have decided before you call.

04
Closing under one roof

Consumer Title & Escrow — an NFN company — can handle title and closing, so the whole transaction stays inside the network you already trust.

05
One human, start to finish

No call centers, no hand-offs. Lindsey Feuerborn is your single point of contact from first walk-through to recorded deed.

What it costs to find out

$0. A conversation and a valuation cost you nothing. You only pay the 3% if and when your land sells.

The usual three ways

How land usually sells — and the quiet fourth way.

Once selling is the decision, most ground moves one of three ways. Each one trades something. Worth seeing side by side before you sign anything.

List it with an agent

Wide exposure and competitive bidding at its best. The trade: commissions and fees often run six percent or more, the sign goes up in the yard, and listings can sit for months — sometimes years — while the neighborhood watches.

Take a cash offer

Fast and certain: investors and land-buying firms close in days, no commission. The trade: the speed is priced in. Cash buyers buy below market — that’s their margin — and the ground goes to whoever flips it next, not to whoever farms it next.

Sell it yourself

No commission at all. The trade: every call, every negotiation, every zoning question, and every page of paperwork is yours, and your buyer pool is whoever happens to find the listing.

The network sale

Off-market, member-first: a private first look to five hundred vetted producers, brokered by Lashley Land at a flat 3%, no sign, no public listing. Priced as ground to farm, not ground to flip — and when a member doesn’t take it, Lashley’s broader buyer network does, still quietly.

And if none of these feel right

If the comparison talks you out of selling, that’s not a dead end — it’s the fourth door. Not selling is its whole point: keep the ground working, defer the tax, and pass down an interest a family can actually divide.

Two ways to sell your ground

Money is the least of the differences.

A conventional listing
Through the network
Lever 1Who sees it first
A public listing. Drone photos on the internet. A sign in the yard. Everyone at the co-op knows your business.
→500 vetted members first. Off-market. No public listing, no drone photos, no talk.
Lever 2Who buys it
The highest bidder. Could be a stranger, an out-of-state fund, someone who doesn’t know a fence line from a field road.
→A like-minded producer first, then Lashley’s broader buyer network. The buyer most likely to keep the ground working.
Lever 3What it costs
5–6% commission, plus the marketing spend on top.
→3% flat, seller-paid. About $60,000 kept on a $2M farm.
Lever 4Time on market
90–180 days is normal. Price cuts and buyer-financing fall-throughs are part of the game.
→30–60 day close targets on member and off-market sales.
Lever 5The tax conversation
After the sale. Your problem, spread across three advisors who have never met each other.
→During the sale. Same intake, same team. If keeping the land makes more sense, we’ll say so before you sign anything.
Lever 6What happens after
The land goes wherever. The operator loses their lease. Another piece of ground to who-knows-who.
→Land stays working. Mission continues. Family stays whole.
Curious what your ground would bring?
Start with a private valuation — no listing, no obligation, no sign in the yard.
