Real Estate – Poplar Land Company

Billy Parker brings a decade of hands-on land brokerage experience to Poplar Land Company, with deep roots in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and the Virginia border counties. Previously with National Land Realty, where he served as the North Piedmont office broker, Billy built one of the most decorated track records in the region, closing hundreds of transactions across agricultural, recreational, residential, and commercial land categories.

Billy’s background is anything but typical. Before real estate, he spent years in the outdoor television industry in marketing and advertising, which has given him an uncommon ability to position land for the right audience and tell a property’s story compellingly. That storytelling instinct, paired with a genuine love of the land itself, is what sets him apart. He’s the broker who shows up with his sleeves already rolled up to walk properties, coordinate soil scientists, meet with zoning offices, and build full marketing packages before most agents have scheduled a showing.

Among his clients, he is known for being responsive, honest, knowledgeable, and tireless. Billy shows up in person, stays engaged through every step of closing, and follows up long after the deal is done.

Billy is licensed in both North Carolina and Virginia and works across both states. Whether you’re selling a family farm that’s been in your name for generations, purchasing acreage for a future home site, or navigating a complex multi-party land transaction, Billy brings the market knowledge, professional network, and personal accountability to get it done.

He lives in Statesville, N.C., with his wife Laura and their two kids. When he’s not working land deals, he’s working his own farm or chasing smallmouth bass.

As founder and owner of Poplar Land Company, Forrest is the Broker in Charge, project manager, and single point of contact for clients. He takes a hands-on approach to evaluating legacy properties and maximizing your return on investment, while bringing his knowledge of what’s possible for the land to your property search or sale.

Forrest grew up in the Yadkin River Valley of Northern Davie County, North Carolina, where he learned how to work the land and manage natural resources. He has since specialized in the sale and purchase of wildlife, agriculture, and timber tracts and has sold thousands of acres.

Now, Forrest combines his real estate experience and land management expertise to guide clients through a uniquely comprehensive process of identifying, enhancing, and maintaining the value of legacy properties. (Fun fact: We’re pretty sure he’s the only real estate broker in the state who is also a certified prescribed fire burn boss.)

Previously, Forrest founded and ran Highest Peak Media LLC, a multimedia content creation company that took him all over the United States and across the globe to work beside some of the most innovative professionals in the industry. His past land brokerage experience was with Carolina Forestry and The Shipley Co. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Catawba College and resides in Harmony, N.C., with his wife Elizabeth and three children.
