The Zenith Experience

Joe Schmitt - Founder & Principal

"I founded Zenith Land Company to make land ownership and sales accessible, transparent, and fair for everyone."

Unlike many land specialists who come from traditional real estate backgrounds, Joe brings a unique analytical perspective to land transactions. With a Master's degree in Organizational Leadership and decades of experience solving complex problems in IT and business consulting, Joe approaches each property situation with fresh eyes and innovative solutions.

"What drew me to land was its beautiful simplicity and accessibility," Joe explains. "While many buyers push for quick, one-size-fits-all deals, I believe each property and owner deserves a customized approach. Whether it's navigating probate challenges, resolving title issues, or structuring creative payment options, we find solutions that truly work for the seller."

This methodical, client-first approach has helped countless property owners since 2017. Joe's background in teaching at several Minnesota colleges also shows in how he educates clients about their options, ensuring they fully understand every aspect of their transaction.

When he's not helping landowners, Joe can be found exploring the outdoors with his two teenage sons – rock climbing, trail running, paddling, and camping across the country. This firsthand experience with diverse terrains and properties adds another layer of practical knowledge to his work.
