Residential and Commercial Realtors, do you know where to do an online search for rural properties in your area? If you just said your MLS, and you limit your search to only what is found there, then you are probably missing out on a significant number of land listings.
Many times brokers will advertise their properties in the MLS if they are members of a local association, but have you ever noticed that many rural areas do not have an association of Realtors close by, or it is not feasible for a land company to join two or three associations. The way many land companies handle this is by advertising on sites dedicated to advertising land.
What are the top land sites on the web? I advertise on all of these and have received quality leads from potential buyers from every one of these sites: LandWatch, Landflip, LandsofAmerica, LandandFarm, Loopnet.
If you are searching for land for sale in Alabama, you should try AlaLandCo's site, as we currently have over 340 different land listings across the state. If you are specifically searching West Alabama, you can check out my site for some quality tracts.
This post is meant to help you put a few more tools in your belt as you serve your customers. Many AR agents work with buyers who are looking to purchase rural land, and these sites can help you locate a suitable property or a competent land agent to send a referral.

I use loopnet here in my market to a small degree of success.
This is a great list. I was unaware of some of these resources... I'm going to check them out.
John- I have had limited success with loopnet as well. It seems that it is geared more for commercial properties than rural land. Thank you for reading the post.
Thanks for the tips! The things I learn from ActiveRain!
Joan- Thank you for reading the post. I have found these sites to be very helpful, and buyers in my area are using them daily.
Lisa- AR has been good to me since I joined 2 weeks ago. I love how everyone shares info with others, and in that spirit I hope this post is helpful. Thanks for the comment.
