Looking to buy or sell hunting land? Many of you are, and there’s an exciting new player in this highly competitive market—with a goal of making the process faster (and easier) than ever. Are you looking to buy or sell recreational land? AcrePro stands ready to help with a comprehensive high-tech approach.
AcrePro helps buy or sell hunting land, and was formed to make these land transactions quick and painless. In addition, this growing company will help you put more money in your pocket along the way. Intrigued? We certainly were, and so we dug a bit deeper into what makes AcrePro different.
Story Behind the Brand
According to the company website, the genesis of AcrePro, which is currently in its first year, was all about supply and demand.
“AcrePro’s origin story is pretty common: we grew out of customer need,” the company says. “Through our sister company AcreTrader, we found more quality land opportunities than we could service. So, we began to thoughtfully weave proven technologies through fertile, typically disconnected data sources to develop a rich ecosystem of tools and services that would support top land sales specialists and their unique customers (you!).”
“While our story may be common, our results are not,” the company says. “Every AcrePro land specialist is exceptionally equipped to provide the expertise to identify and negotiate the best deal for you, and the service to get the deal done with certainty and convenience.” AcrePro grew out of customer need. Through its sister company AcreTrader, it found more quality land opportunities than it could service.
Dealing with the Competition
If you’ve been paying attention at all to outdoor-based land sales recently, you know names like Base Camp Country Real Estate, Whitetail Properties, and Mossy Oak Properties are heavy hitters in this space.
So how does AcrePro differ from other real estate businesses operating in the hunting land world? There are several distinguishing factors, according to Liz Slape, chief marketing officer.
“The outdoor land industry will benefit from access to more technology and data; we’re a tech-enabled company that allows us to truly understand a new property quickly. We have in-house proprietary tools for providing transparency to all the facets of land that help buyers and sellers understand value.”
A Rapidly Growing Company
Slape said AcrePro is currently specializing in tracts of 80-plus acres and is licensed in 17 states and is expanding rapidly, even as you read this.
As stated, things are moving fast for AcrePro, which has been in business for just one year. But even the near future looks bright indeed. When we spoke to AcrePro in late May, the company was planning for rapidly growing the real estate agency to be operating in 48 states by the end of 2022. In addition, supporting that effort in May were 22 land sales specialists/agents, and that total was expected to climb to 100 land agents by Dec. 31. AcrePro is a tech-enabled company that allows it to truly understand a new property in minutes, benefitting both buyers and sellers.
Supporting Its Land Agents
As you might guess, AcrePro is currently on the hunt for “high-volume” land agents who are looking to work with some truly cutting-edge support technology. In addition, Slape explained, agents are supported in their efforts during every step of the sales process. AcrePro is streamlining the entire land-transaction process.
“With most land brokerages, agents are mostly on their own with things like marketing and administration, but with AcrePro, we can handle most any need in-house,” Slape said. “We offer complete transaction management that really streamlines the process, for both our agents and clients.”
Looking to Buy or Sell?
Who needs to consider working with AcrePro? Anyone looking to sell or purchase land tracts for a variety of outdoor uses, including hunting and other outdoor recreation, or even farming or ranching. AcrePro is currently specializing in tracts of 80-plus acres and is licensed mostly along the Mississippi River corridor states, but that is expanding rapidly, even as you read this.
“Maybe you’re looking to sell or buy land exclusively for outdoor recreation, or maybe you’re a farmer or land manager who would like to grow your land-leasing opportunities,” Slape explained. “AcrePro agents can provide helpful advice and insight into that entire process, and help them buy other lease opportunities that make sense.”

To further hammer home AcrePro’s ability to take land sales technology to the next level, the company is set to launch its own internal digital mapping tool this summer. The feature will be called “Acres.co.” It will allow users to learn extensively about a property in just a few minutes. It’s just one more example of AcrePro flexing its land-technology muscles. There will be more innovations to come.
