Quick Answer

Why Choose Dakota Plains Realty for Land?

Buying or selling land involves more than looking at the number of acres. Property access, land use, location, improvements, water, agricultural potential, and recreational opportunities can all affect how a property should be evaluated.

Dakota Plains Realty works with buyers and sellers throughout North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota, helping them understand their property options and the steps involved in a land transaction.

Local Knowledge

Our team serves buyers and sellers across North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Local knowledge can be especially important when evaluating rural communities, agricultural areas, recreational properties, and growing markets.

Experience With Different Types of Property

Land is not one-size-fits-all. A farm, hunting property, lake property, commercial lot, and rural home can each require a different approach.

Help From Start to Finish

From evaluating a property and preparing it for market to marketing, negotiations, paperwork, and closing, our team can help guide you through the real estate process.

At Dakota Plains Realty, we specialize in connecting buyers and sellers with the finest properties across South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. Whether you’re looking for farmland, ranches, hunting properties, or lakefront estates, our team is dedicated to helping you find the perfect match.

As a family-owned real estate company based in Fargo, ND, we look at land the way landowners do: acreage, tillable acres, water, access, and rights.

North Dakota Land & Real Estate

North Dakota real estate centers on farmland, cattle ranches, and hunting and recreational land, with residential and commercial options in and around Fargo. Our listings show acreage and, where applicable, tillable acres, so you can compare tracts quickly.

South Dakota Land & Real Estate

South Dakota real estate ranges from cropland and grazing pasture to hunting ground and rural homes with acreage. Buyers here typically weigh access, water, and hunting potential alongside price per acre.

Minnesota Land & Real Estate

Minnesota real estate includes lake property, farmland, and country homes, with the Twin Cities market within reach. Lakefront properties are usually valued on shoreline, lot features, and access as well as acreage.

Buying Land in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota

Before purchasing land, consider how you plan to use the property and what characteristics are important to you. Depending on the property, this may include acreage, access, zoning, soil, water, improvements, utilities, recreational potential, and nearby development.

Our team can help you search current listings and identify questions to investigate before moving forward with a purchase.

What to Look for in a Real Estate Company for Land

The right real estate company for land combines local market knowledge, land-specific marketing, and clear terms. Land is priced differently than homes, so your agent should be comfortable with acreage, tillable acres, soil and water, access, and mineral rights, and should explain listing versus auction honestly.

  • Local sales knowledge: recent tract sales in the county, not just statewide averages.
  • Land-specific marketing: aerial photos, maps, video, and trail camera images for recreational tracts.
  • More than one way to sell: traditional listing, auction, or lease.
  • Terms in writing: commission, marketing scope, and timeline before you sign.

Thank you so much, Darin, for helping me sell our land. We received much more than two other realtors attempted to get for us. You are the best realtor I've ever had the privilege to work with.

Worked with Luanne White and the experience was everything you'd hope for in looking for a home. Luanne listens and provided me with some vision and feedback. I've worked with other realtors, but none as thorough. I felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the experience. She was available, she listened to what I wanted and when we closed she made sure any concerns were addressed. I wanted someone I could trust, who knew the area and market. Highly recommend.
