Working directly with landowners and families across the Sioux Falls region.

Selling land is rarely just a transaction. For most families, it’s the end of one chapter and the beginning of another — and the people you choose to work with matter.

For more than three generations, Ronning Companies has been building homes, developing neighborhoods, and helping families put down roots in the Sioux Falls area. When you sell your land to Ronning, you’re not selling to a broker, a flipper, or an out-of-state investor. You’re selling directly to a local family that’s going to build something there.

We’re a builder. Not a flipper.

We’re not buying your land to resell it. We’re buying it because we have plans for it — homes, neighborhoods, places for families like yours to grow up. Many of the neighborhoods we’ve developed — Copper Creek Estates, Copper Creek Heights, Briarwood Estates, Parkwood Estates, Roosevelt Park, Hidden Valley, Prairie Vista — started as a conversation with a landowner just like you.

When you choose Ronning, you can take comfort in knowing your land becomes a place where new families will make memories of their own.

What we’re looking for

We consider parcels of any size, from small infill lots to large agricultural tracts. We’re especially interested in:

• Land within or adjacent to the Sioux Falls metro
• Parcels with residential development potential — single-family, townhomes, or multifamily
• Acreage with annexation potential, or already zoned for residential use
• Commercial sites along established corridors

If you’re not sure whether your property fits, reach out anyway. We’ve often found opportunities in places others overlooked.

How the process works

1. Start a conversation. A short phone call or message. Tell us where the land is and a little about the situation. No pressure, no obligation.

2. We walk the land together. Or you walk us through it on a map — whatever works for you. We come prepared to listen first.

3. We make a straightforward offer. Written, transparent, and ours to honor. If the numbers don’t work for you, that’s fine — we won’t push.

4. We close cleanly. We work with established local title companies, and we move at your pace, not ours.

Why families choose Ronning

Local. Headquartered in Sioux Falls. The same family has been building here for decades.

Direct. No middlemen, no broker chains. You’ll speak with someone from our team — often a Ronning family member — from the first call to closing.

Respectful. We understand that land often carries history, memory, and family meaning. We treat every conversation as confidential and every landowner with the respect their property — and their story — deserves.

Patient. We’re not in a rush, and we won’t put you in one. Some of our best partnerships started with a conversation that took two years to become a sale.
