Craig Brown

As a Land Broker selling for National Realty, I specialize in helping landowners, farmers, and investors navigate the complexities of buying and selling land. Whether you’re looking to sell a generational farm, acquire an investment property, or maximize tax advantages through a 1031 exchange, I bring the expertise and market insight to ensure a seamless transaction.

One of the biggest challenges sellers face is managing tax consequences, which is why I educate my clients on tax-deferred strategies like the 1031 Exchange and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs). Instead of selling land outright and paying taxes immediately, a farmer can exchange their farmland for a passive investment, such as a DST, and enjoy tax-deferred income. By taking a consultative approach, I ensure my clients make informed decisions that align with their financial and legacy goals.

Beyond real estate, I have a passion for photography and am an FAA Part 107-licensed drone pilot. I believe great imagery is more than just a marketing tool—it tells a story, evokes emotion, and captures the essence of a property. Using high-quality aerial and ground photography, I help bring listings to life, attracting buyers and maximizing exposure. If you appreciate striking landscapes and unique perspectives, I invite you to visit www.skycliffstudio.com to explore some of my work.

My wife and I live in southwest Missouri, where we enjoy the outdoors and spending time with our two golden retrievers. Additionally, as one of over 1,800 members of the Realtors Land Institute, I have a nationwide network of land experts. If you’re looking for a trusted real estate professional in another state, I can make the right connection for you.

Whether you’re selling, buying, or exploring investment strategies, I’m here to help. Let’s talk about how I can support your real estate goals.
