Artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every industry, and land brokerage is no exception.

In this episode of the American Land Seller Podcast, Koby Rickertsen sits down with Steve Atkinson, Principal Broker at Fay Ranches and the creator of Pathcrest, a technology platform built specifically for land professionals.

Drawing from years of experience representing farms, ranches, recreational properties, and investment land, Steve shares why the land industry needed technology designed around the unique challenges of rural real estate instead of adapting tools built for residential sales.

Together, they discuss how artificial intelligence, mapping technology, and better property data are changing the way land is bought and sold, while also helping landowners, investors, producers, and brokers make more informed decisions.

Whether you're a land professional looking to work more efficiently or a landowner wanting to understand how technology is changing the marketplace, this conversation offers practical insights into where the industry is headed and why relationships will always remain at the center of great land brokerage.
