Hawkeye Farm Management & Real Estate

What Hawkeye Farm Management & Real Estate does

Hawkeye Farm Management & Real Estate is a privately held real estate brokerage headquartered at 1010 South Clinton St., Albia, Iowa, operating as a franchise of United Country Real Estate under broker Ryan Ammons. The firm transacts farmland, hunting and recreational land, country and luxury homes, commercial property, self-storage facilities, and businesses-for-sale across more than fourteen counties in Southern Iowa (Monroe, Lucas, Appanoose, Wapello, Mahaska, Marion, Clarke, Davis, Decatur, Van Buren, Union, Keokuk, Audubon, Marshall) and into North Central Missouri, with active listings priced between roughly $31,000 and over $4 million.

The business runs on United Country's Bullseye CMS website platform (uciowa.com) and syndicated listing infrastructure, complemented by HiBid online auction tooling and Realtree-driven hunting-property marketing. Distribution relies on direct agent-to-client relationships, scheduled property showings, and live plus online auctions; brand reach is amplified through partnerships with conservation organizations (Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Potlatch), agricultural brands (John Deere, Realtree United Country), and professional affiliations (Realtors Land Institute).

Revenue is generated almost exclusively on a transaction-fee basis — traditional real estate commissions on closed sales plus auction fees on farmland and land disposals. There is no disclosed subscription, SaaS, recurring service, or management-fee revenue stream; commission income varies directly with transaction volume and property values, exposing the firm to farmland-cycle volatility. No institutional capital, M&A activity, or restructuring events are disclosed in the available data.
