Don’t just take our word for it

Read what our clients have to say about us.

Bravo Francisco, that's a great result in record time. Thank you for all your hard work.

L.D., Owner, Family Office.

The Land Group operates our property to the highest standards, ensuring transparency every step of the way. They totally get us. Our trust in their team is unparalleled.

W.B., Owner, Family Office.

Hats off to The Land Group! They facilitated our exit from an underperforming investment and guided us through the acquisition of a remarkable 9,000-hectare property. The team played a crucial role in restoring this historic property to its former glory before orchestrating a successful sale that provided us with the liquidity we needed.

C.B., President, Insurance Company.

The Land Group helped us acquire a prestigious agricultural property that produces high-quality grass-fed beef, soybean, rice, and pulpwood. Their skilled team runs operations efficiently, focusing on innovative farming methods that regenerate the land. Their hard work is improving the farm's productivity by the day, unlocking its full potential while minimising its environmental footprint.

L.A., Owner, Family Office.

Francisco, Joaquín and their team have overseen our farms since 2017, consistently demonstrating the highest level of professionalism. Despite the geographical distance separating us from our investment, we find absolute reassurance in their competent and diligent management. This certainly helps me sleep at night.

J.T., Owner, Asset Management Firm.

We engaged The Land Group in 2018 to turn around the management of 30,000 hectares of farmland we acquired in South America. Their work had an immediate impact on the profitability of our investment, leading to the successful disposal of a third of our portfolio. We value highly the work ethics and competence of the team.

V.N., Director, Family Office.

We hired The Land Group to improve a struggling investment. We were impressed by their proactivity and determination in restructuring operations, and the expertise they demonstrated in managing such a complex case. As a result of their efforts, we managed to sell most assets and recover our capital in a timely manner.

F.N., Owner, Family Office.
