Buying and selling property is always a significant decision, but when it comes to land, the stakes and the opportunities run deeper. I’m Koby Rickertsen, Founding Partner, CEO, and Managing Broker of Ironhorse Land Company, a multi-state brokerage specializing in farm, ranch, recreational, and development land. I’m a Nebraska native with deep agricultural roots, raised working on my family’s farm in Lincoln and Dawson Counties. My connection to land started early, from agronomy classes before I was ten years old to scouting fields for a dollar an hour. That hands-on upbringing, combined with 13 years in the U.S. Navy Submarine Force, shaped my work ethic, discipline, and respect for the people who earn their living from the land. Over the years, I’ve built, led, and sold multiple successful businesses, including RE/MAX Home, Farm & Ranch. Today, through Ironhorse Land Company, I lead a team of elite land professionals united by a single mission, helping landowners, investors, and buyers make informed decisions and build lasting legacies. As an Accredited Land Consultant (ALC), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and proud member of the REALTORS® Land Institute, I bring practical expertise, straight talk, and integrity to every transaction. I am licensed across Arkansas, Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Whether you are buying your first parcel, selling a generational family farm, or evaluating land investment opportunities across the Midwest and Great Plains, my objective is simple, to ensure every acre you own, buy, or sell reaches its full potential.
