Listen Later

Planning to sell your farmland but dreading the tax bill? The 1031 exchange might be your golden ticket to preserving wealth and unlocking passive income, and in this episode of The American Land Seller, we’re breaking down how it works with Heath Bandars of Clark Wealth Strategies.

Whether you’re navigating retirement, succession planning, or just looking to shift from active farming to hands-free income, this conversation is a must-listen. Heath, an Exchange Liaison and CE-certified 1031 educator, unpacks this government-sanctioned tax-deferral strategy that’s helped landowners reinvest and build wealth since 1921.

💰 What’s inside:

  • How a $10M farmland sale turned into $50K/month in passive income
  • The 45-day and 180-day rules every seller must know
  • Why Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are becoming a go-to option
  • What land agents should be doing right now to help clients plan smarter
  • The critical role of qualified intermediaries—and how to avoid mistakes

Heath also explains Clark Wealth Strategies’ fiduciary, client-first approach—no cookie-cutter options, just personalized solutions built around your goals.

📈 Whether you're a landowner thinking about selling or a broker wanting to better serve clients, this episode could change the way you think about equity, retirement, and long-term financial security.
