The Riverview Group
Your Clients Own Land.
We Help You Protect Their Investment.
A one-stop land real estate solution for financial advisors, estate planners, and trust officers who advise clients holding land.
The Challenge
Land Is the Most Misunderstood Asset in Your Client's Portfolio
When clients hold farmland, timber, hunting ground, recreational acreage, or land with commercial development potential, the standard residential playbook doesn't apply. Pricing is nuanced. Buyer pools are specialized. And when the time comes to sell — whether for estate settlement, portfolio rebalancing, or a generational transition — the process demands expertise most brokerages simply don't have.
That's where The Riverview Group and Trophy Properties and Auction step in.
Why Partner With Us
Solutions Other Brokerages Can't Offer
Auction Process
Our internet auction platform (iAuction) creates competitive, transparent bidding that works exclusively for the seller. It establishes true market value — not an estimate, not a guess. For estate settlements and fiduciary situations, auction provides a defensible, documented sale process that protects your client and protects you.
Deep Land Expertise
We know land — timber, tillable ground, waterfowl habitat, hunting properties, recreational acreage, and transitional ground with commercial development potential — across Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois. We evaluate properties on the features that actually drive value: soil productivity, water access, timber quality, terrain, wildlife management potential, and highest-and-best use.
Fiduciary Alignment
You have a responsibility to your clients. So do we. TPA's process is built around transparency, documented valuations, and competitive market exposure. When you refer a client to us, you're putting them with professionals who operate at the same standard you do.
Beyond the Obvious
Commercial Doesn't Just Mean Concrete and Asphalt.
Land currently in crop or timber can carry exponential value as future commercial or development ground — and most advisors never see it coming. A row crop field near a growing interchange. Timber ground at the edge of an expanding suburb. These properties are often valued purely as agricultural assets while sitting at the front edge of something worth significantly more.
What We Evaluate
Highway and arterial access. Proximity to growth corridors. Utility availability. Zoning classification and variance potential. Comparable transitional sales. We look at both the land's current value and its highest-and-best use — and we tell you the difference plainly.
We Speak Both Languages
We can evaluate a tract as farmland and as a development opportunity in the same conversation. Transitional ground attracts a different buyer pool — developers, investors, commercial land speculators — and reaching them requires a different network. We have it.
The Auction Advantage
Why Auction Is the Right Fit for Your Clients
Traditional listings rely on the asking price being right. Auction lets the market decide — with full transparency and competition working in your client's favor.
Property Evaluation
We assess the property's features, market position, and optimal sale strategy — auction or traditional listing.
Marketing Campaign
Professional photography, targeted digital advertising, and multi-channel exposure put the property in front of qualified, motivated buyers.
Competitive Bidding
Our iAuction platform creates competition among buyers. The seller sets the terms. The market sets the price. Every step is documented.
Defined Timeline
Properties sell on a set date — no indefinite waiting. Your client gets certainty, and you get a clear timeline for estate or portfolio planning.
When to Call Us
Common Scenarios Where We Can Help
Estate Settlement
Heirs need to liquidate land holdings. Auction provides a fair, documented, defensible process that satisfies all parties — and the court, when applicable.
Portfolio Rebalancing
A client holds significant acreage and needs to convert to liquid assets or diversify. We deliver market-rate outcomes with a defined timeline.
Trust & Fiduciary Sales
When you're acting in a fiduciary capacity, the sale process matters as much as the outcome. Our auction process is transparent, well-documented, and built for exactly this situation.
Land Acquisition
Clients looking to purchase hunting ground, farmland, or recreational property benefit from our network and market knowledge across four states.
Transitional & Commercial Ground
A client's farmland or timber tract near a growing corridor may be worth far more than its agricultural value suggests. Most advisors never see it. Most brokerages aren't looking for it.
We evaluate highest-and-best use alongside current land value, and we position the property to the right buyer pool — whether that's a developer, a commercial land investor, or a speculator watching the same growth trend your client is sitting on.
We Help You Help Your Clients
Whether your client is selling a generational farm, settling an estate, sitting on transitional ground near a growth corridor, or acquiring their first piece of land — The Riverview Group has the expertise and process to deliver results.
