Joe Benton

Joe was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, where a deep connection to the outdoors has shaped his lifestyle and career. A passionate outdoorsman, you’ll find him in the woods or on the water year-round, chasing whichever game is in season.

Before joining Crosby Land Company, Joe built a career in marketing and brand development within the outdoor industry. That experience gives him a strong edge in positioning land for maximum exposure and return. Today, he specializes in investment-grade, transitional, and recreational properties, helping clients navigate everything from hunting tracts and timberland to farmland and development tracts.

With a hands-on approach and deep local knowledge, Joe takes pride in connecting the right buyers with the right pieces of land, always with honesty, integrity, and long-term value at the forefront. He also sees his work as an opportunity to share his love for the Lord by forming genuine relationships and serving others purposefully.

Outside of work, Joe enjoys life with his wife, Lauren, their son, James, and their two spaniels, Molly and Sage. He proudly serves clients across South Carolina and Georgia, combining his passion for land with a greater purpose that guides everything he does.

Testimonials

Client

“As a first-time land buyer, I came into this process with very little knowledge, and I’m so thankful I found Joe to guide me through the process. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient in answering questions and providing advice. He was generous with his time and willing to walk through all aspects of a property with me. When you work with Joe, not only do you get a wealth of information and someone willing to go the extra mile, you gain a friend. I couldn’t recommend him enough.”

Tyler Sorenson

Client

"It was truly a pleasure working with Joe to sell our land. He was a professional in all aspects of our transaction. His knowledge, integrity, and work ethic were second to none. He communicated in a timely manner any activity concerning our listing and ultimately sold our land for a very fair price. Really, a very pleasant experience working with Joe to get a very unique piece of property sold. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their property."

Debbie Tripp

Client

“I am a Realtor of 21 years in both GA and SC. When it came time to sell 2 of my properties that were large acreage timberland, I knew it was outside of my scope of real estate, and I needed a land specialist. Joe was that specialist. He did an amazing job of advertising my land and quickly producing buyers. I got top dollar on both properties and from start to finish things went smoothly. Joe is an excellent communicator and stayed on top of everything. I would definitely use Joe again and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. 5 stars across the board!!!”

Realtor

“Joe was a delight to work with. Although land deals are not my expertise, Joe worked with me to make it an easy, smooth transaction for our clients. He always responded quickly to my inquiries, gave me good referrals, and made the extra effort to keep us informed, educated, and ready to close on time. I would gladly do another transaction with him.”

"Joe did a great job for me. Our property sold within three days of listing at an excellent price. The bank wanted a new survey, and he handled everything smoothly and quickly. Closing went well also. Thanks, Joe."

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joe Benton for an outstanding job selling our property. He did, within a few months, what other real estate companies and their agents couldn’t do for several years. It was a pleasure to work with him. Thank you again.”
