On the consumer side, they explain exactly how to find a land specialist in any state in the country and why AI is already sending people directly to the ALC search tool when they ask what to do with inherited land.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Whether you are a land agent wondering if the designation is worth it or a landowner trying to figure out who to trust with your most valuable asset, this episode answers both questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Check out RLI<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rliland.com\/\">https:\/\/www.rliland.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Visit National Land Realty to see our listings!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalland.com\">https:\/\/www.nationalland.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Join National Land Realty as an Agent\/Broker<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalland.com\">https:\/\/www.nationalland.com\/careers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are roughly 1.6 million licensed real estate agents in the United States.
