02

03
The hunters pay
Card, ACH, or four payments with Affirm.
04
Insurance, if required

The landowner signs
The lease is not in force until this.

Protection that works both ways.

For Hunters
Verify once, book anywhere
Your LandKey badge follows your profile to every listing, message, and booking request.
Split the season into four payments
Affirm financing spreads a lease across four payments. The landowner is still paid for the season in full.
The deal is in writing
Acreage, access and dates are written into the agreement you sign, so what was promised is on the record rather than in a text thread.
For Landowners
Paid to the account you connect
Payouts from a LandKey lease land in your connected account rather than arriving by hand.
Insurance stays your call
Insurance is not part of the lease. The hunter is emailed directions for obtaining it from an outside provider, and you decide whether to require it.
Know exactly who's on your ground
Hunters can complete ID verification on their profile, and the LandKey badge shows you who has.
Word of Mouth

Take it from the gate side.

“HLRBO made leasing my 100-acre property easy and stress free. My advisor (Heath) answered all my questions, helped with establishing a price point since this was my first go at leasing, and also helped with the contract. I would highly recommend HLRBO for landowners.”
Nadine DuFour
Landowner · Ohio
“Listing my lease on HLRBO has been a great experience. It was easy to list, they were very helpful and quick to respond when I had questions. I have felt secure in my communications with them. I will be using HLRBO any time I need to lease from now on. Great company!”
Margaret · Landowner · Indiana
“I listed my property here and I had a great experience. My property was leased within 11 days. I highly recommend HLRBO.”
Jill Dorman · Landowner · Texas
“I recommend these guys 100%. I had an issue that I reached out about and can honestly say they went above and beyond my expectations.”
Conrad Helmuth · Hunter · New York
“I had recently moved to a new state and was not sure how I was going to find anywhere to hunt for the next season. Luckily, I found HLRBO and was able to connect with someone who had land available. HLRBO is a great service that connects hunters with landowners. Highly recommend!”
Thom Johnson · Hunter · Virginia
“Great experience! The listings were accurate, clear, and communication with the landowners was smooth. Plenty of options to choose from, and the process felt secure. Definitely recommend for hunters looking for convenient land access.”
Brian Carleton
Hunter · Minnesota
Fair Questions

Asked at every tailgate.

Straight answers to the questions hunters and landowners ask before their first LandKey lease.

Still curious? Talk to the team

Nothing extra. LandKey is built into every HLRBO lease. Landowners pay no fees or commissions on a lease that runs through HLRBO, and hunters pay the lease price plus the marketplace fee at checkout. The agreement, the e-signatures and the payment record are part of the deal, not add-ons.

Yes. Every lease closes on a state-specific hunting lease agreement, e-signed by both parties and stored in both dashboards. E-signatures carry the same legal weight as ink under federal law.

The agreement you both signed records the acreage, access and dates the lease was sold on. If what you find on the ground does not match it, message the landowner through HLRBO so the exchange is on the record, and contact us if the two of you cannot resolve it.

Insurance is not part of the lease and HLRBO does not provide it. The hunter is emailed directions for obtaining coverage from an outside provider, and the landowner decides whether to require proof of it before signing.

Payouts go to the account the landowner connects to HLRBO once the lease is executed. If the hunter pays over four installments with Affirm, that's between the hunter and Affirm. The landowner still gets the full amount up front.

Yes, and it's the most common way landowners start. Invite your hunter, drop your existing terms into a LandKey agreement, and both of you get the e-signed agreement and the payment record without changing the deal you already shook on.
