About LandVest
LandVest is the nation’s leading broker of institutional timberland. In addition, its real estate brokerage team has achieved the highest accolades and consistently sets state records for residential property sales. LandVest’s roots are in advising owners, buyers, institutions, family offices, and fiduciaries whose assets include houses in town, country estates, exceptionally located land, and timber tracts. LandVest is one of New England’s largest independent real estate firms, with residential sales volume of more than $800 million and timberland sales volume of over $1.2 billion in 2022. As LandVest evolved to meet the needs of its client base, the firm became a leader in the luxury residential marketplace. It joined the Christie’s International Real Estate global luxury network as an exclusive affiliate in 1995.
LandVest consultants provide valuation, subdivision, and conservation planning, as well as planning for the acquisition and disposition of complex real estate assets. For properties that combine timberland with recreational amenities, LandVest’s foresters and timberland brokers partner with their luxury brokers to provide sound advice and exceptional results.
