Larson & McGowin Properties LLC

What Larson & McGowin Properties LLC does

Larson & McGowin Properties LLC is a privately held, full-service real estate brokerage firm specializing in timberland and recreational property transactions across the southeastern United States. The firm is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, with additional offices in Mobile and Greenville, Alabama, and its brokers are licensed across ten states including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Its customer segments are timberland investors (primary), recreational property buyers, and landowners seeking disposition services; the firm provides acquisition, disposition, and market research services, with active listings ranging from small recreational tracts at approximately $125,000 to large institutional timberland assets at approximately $7,500,000 (e.g., Desoto Timberlands at approximately 3,361 acres).

The business is built on a human-expertise model rather than a technology platform: the named team comprises President Robert J. Foster (35 years of forest management experience), Qualifying Broker Chandlar Graham, and Broker William Ireland, all trained in forestry at Auburn University, supported by additional registered foresters. Revenue is generated on a transactional commission basis on each closed sale; commission rates are not publicly disclosed. Underlying technology is standard real-estate-brokerage infrastructure — a WordPress website with property listings, Google Maps and Google Earth (KMZ) integration for property visualization, Constant Contact for email marketing, and a Silvics-hosted secure data room for registered users. There is no public-facing API, mobile application, or AI/ML capability disclosed.

The firm operates as part of a three-entity family of companies alongside Larson and McGowin LLC (forest management services) and Silvics (data and technology services for property information), enabling bundled brokerage-and-management offerings to institutional timberland clients. The company is privately held with no evidence of external funding, no parent company, and no M&A history in the available data.
