Eric Schlutz, with Ruhl Farm & Land from Muscatine, Iowa, has been recognized as a part of the APEX 2024 Producers Club by the REALTORS® Land Institute as a part of the RLI APEX Production Awards Program, sponsored by The Land Report. Eric was recognized by RLI CEO Aubrie Kobernus as well as The Land Report's Co-founders Eddie Lee Rider Jr. and Eric O'Keefe at a special awards ceremony on Tuesday, March 18, during RLI's 2025 National Land Conference (NLC25) in Tucson, AZ.
"It was an honor to be recognized by this great organization. RLI is the premier organization for land professionals, with the education and networking being responsible for much of my success," said Eric Schlutz, ALC, upon receiving the award. Schlutz has been active in land sales for the last 21 years in eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
"We are proud of Eric and all of our members who were recognized as part of our award programs for their accomplishments in 2024. They truly are the most accomplished professionals with the highest levels of expertise in land real estate," said RLI's CEO, Aubrie Kobernus, MBA, RCE. Top award winners will receive national recognition in The Land Report's Spring Magazine, RLI's Spring issue of Terra Firma magazine, as well as additional promotions throughout the year.
"Eric's recognition by the REALTORS® Land Institute is well-earned and a reflection of both his exceptional results and the respect he's built within the land industry," said Chris Beason, President of Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors. "As a past president of the Iowa Chapter of RLI and the leader of our Farm & Land division, Eric exemplifies integrity, professionalism, and deep agricultural expertise. With over 20 years of experience and a background rooted in farming, he brings unmatched value to his clients and our team. We're proud to see his work recognized on a national level."
