Client Testimonials

Holly M. - Illinois

"Nick brokered the sale of our family farm that spanned generations. He approached our legacy farm with care, genuine concern that the family's interests were met, and attention to even the smallest of details. He is a fantastic communicator, and diligently managed the process from many different angles: working with the current operator, keeping the family up to speed on the progress, and professionally marketing the property, all of which went beyond my expectations. He has a deep moral character, which comes through when working with him, and he clearly respects the land."

Cindy C. - Maine

"Nick provided a very thoughtful and factual approach to the sale of our property. His communication with us was excellent and he developed and implemented a phenomenal marketing plan for our farm. It was easy for us to tell early on that Nick truly cared about the interests of ownership and he did a great job of keeping us fully informed every step of the way. Nick was also professional, considerate, ambitious and diligent throughout the auction process."

John M. - Wisconsin

"My overall impressions of Nicks' work are very positive. He's gotten up to speed quickly on our property and established a rapport with the operator. Nick communicates well and frequently, both important attributes in someone we rely on. His reports are easy to read, timely, provide suitable detail with pictures and give us a good indication of how things are going. He's also been very responsive to our questions and concerns. Finally, Nick is very personable and a pleasure to deal with, whether on the phone, in-person or via email."

Paula B. - Illinois

"I am truly grateful to Nick for keeping us so informed and protecting the value of our farm. Nick does a fantastic job. Working with all my cousins can't be easy, not because they're not all great people, but I can only imagine the difficult time he must have obtaining feedback from all owners to generate a farm decision. If it weren't for Nicks' superb coordination and communication skills it would be much more difficult for all 10 of us to each maintain a piece of ownership of the family farm."

Joyce F. - Arizona

"Nick does an excellent job of managing my farm and has been able to substantially increase my rent with the existing farmer. Having Nick as my farm manager has been a huge load off my shoulders and provides great piece of mind knowing that someone is looking after my property."

Ann G. - Colorado

"As a new client I instantly had a great sense of appreciation for the level of attention Nick has given our farm as well as for the timely and thorough reports he provides. Not only has Nick been an effective communicator but he also was able to negotiate a lease with our long-time farm operator that provided quite an increase in our gross farm income during the first year of management."
