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.
Billy worked tirelessly on our behalf. His work ethic, skill, knowledge and expertise is second to none! Couldn’t be happier!
Billy Parker was exceptional to work with. I had a large tract of land (63 acres) that I wanted to sell. Billy got the job done in a very short amount of time and got the full price that we were asking. He exceeded all of my expectations. I would highly recommend Billy Parker if you have any land that you want to sell. He went above and beyond the call of duty and handled everything in a very professional and timely manner. Thanks Billy!
We had a great experience working with Billy Parker on our recent land purchase. From start to finish, Billy was extremely knowledgeable about the process and the local market, which gave us a lot of confidence in our decisions. He was always responsive whenever we had questions and made sure we understood every step along the way. What we appreciated most was how fair and straightforward he was throughout the entire transaction. It really felt like he had our best interests in mind. If you’re looking for a realtor who knows the business, communicates well, and treats you honestly, we would absolutely recommend Billy Parker. Five stars!
I feared how quickly we would be able to sell this land. Then, we met Billy Parker. He immediately advertised our land both locally and nationally, culminating in many potential buyers. He let us know what to do and when. As a senior citizen, I really appreciated the simplicity with which he made the process. I don’t know how he made the sale so easy and fast but I am truly happy we had the opportunity to work with Billy.
Billy Parker worked hard to nationally market my property, highlighting my property’s unique assets. Billy consistently offered honest and knowledgeable advice, which made me successful in selling my property within a short period of time.
Billy was excellent to work with from the very beginning. He came out to my home and met with my family. This was a family plot of land and discussed in detail what he could do and listened when we told him what we wanted. It was a very difficult piece of property to market, but he did an excellent job. He went above and beyond to market and sell the property. He even stayed with us after the sell to aid in any questions we had about taxes and making sure everything worked out as we had hoped. He is excellent at what he does, and I would use him again and again. Highly recommended.
Billy Parker is a knowledgeable land broker who enjoys what he does. He is quick to roll his sleeves up and do whatever it takes to get the job done. Billy was there from start to finish and guided us through the entire process.
Billy Parker was not only very responsive and a real partner to us … he demonstrated incredible knowledge, skill, and wisdom in finding the right buyer. .. and ultimately getting a deal done that we (the sellers) were very happy with, as was our buyer! That is the textbook definition of a 5-star land broker. Thank you, Billy.
Right off the start from the fi rst meeting, Billy put our best interest as his first priority, listening to what we said while writing notes. He took his weekends to show us over 17 properties and had it all mapped and planned out ahead of time. Billy’s skills, knowledge and resources were the right combination for making this land purchase possible. Billy found us our perfect property that wasn’t even on the market; that says a lot about his resources and work ethic. Billy also assisted us in our financing needs, connecting us with Landline Lending while performing all the land tasks that needed to be performed. All the way to the closing table, Billy was always available or on site working hard for us to make sure we were satisfied with all the details of buying land.
Billy Parker was very communicative and available throughout our entire buying process. We didn’t realize how much work goes into buying a property, but Billy worked hard as our broker and made things run smoothly all the way to closing. He helped us out every step of the way. Very good experience.
