Zack – You did a terrific job selling my farm in only about 6 weeks and for the price I was asking. The previous company that had the property for 24 months and never had a firm offer close to what I was asking, they wasted my time. Again you and the LandGuys Company did a GREAT job. If I get the opportunity I will highly recommend you and the LandGuys company.
Thanks again,

To successfully sell a remote piece of property you must work with an agent who understands the unique nature of this type of transaction. When we recently listed our cabin with 35 acres, pond and shed we selected Zack Sisk from The Land Guys after careful consideration of our options. We were extremely pleased with every step of the process and Zack was able to immediately find us a buyer with a great offer. Zack was a great communicator and took care of all the needed items to ensure a close. Because we lived 4 hours away we couldn’t be there for inspections, walk-throughs and other important elements of a sale. We had total confidence in Zack and he delivered.
I would urge anyone looking to sell recreational or farm land to work with Zack. We are so pleased that we met him and thankful for making the entire process easy for us.
-Michael Frosch
Zack was fantastic. He was available anytime I needed him immediately. Amazing job and will most definitely be using LandGuys in the future.
-John Bellantuono Burr Ridge, IL
After 40 years in the real estate business, I am not easily impressed; but I can’t say enough good about the services you provided selling the Custer Park property.
A lot of brokers “list and forget”. I was a little concerned because you lived so far away, but you worked and showed the property more than the other realtors who live in the same county as the subject property.
Your professionalism and constant communication is a rarity in today’s age, and I want you to know how much I respect the work that you have done. You will always have an excellent reference from me.
– Jay Wilmington, IL
From the start Zack made himself very accessible via call, text or email to answer questions on the property I was interested in. When he showed the property he was willing to walk every yard of the 60 acres with me. Zack was instrumental in the negotiations to bring the deal together. He ensured everything was taken care of allowing for a smooth closing on a trophy whitetail property!

Don and Chase were very professional in how they handled our property and the unique structure of ownership involved with it. Their ability to work through multiple owners while presenting the property on the market to qualified buyers with a comprehensive marketing approach was beyond expectations. Don and Chase understand this type of property and coupled with their network, they produced a successful outcome for both the buyers and sellers. Thank you LandGuys!
-Karen Shadid Victoria, IL
Don is awesome. He’s been involved in two, soon to be 3 transactions for me and was very professional and knowledgeable in each situation. I’ve employed his services both as a buyer and a seller, and would not hesitate to hire him again. He is a great resource for hunting advice, food plot recommendations, and habitat management. I consider Don a good friend of mine and contact him frequently for advice and to share photos/stories. I have and will recommend Landguys to anyone who expresses interest in buying/selling property in Illinois.
-Chip Paddock Machinaw, IL
I would like to take this platform to thank Chase Burns, Landguys, and Don Wagner for doing a great job selling my property . I wish the new owner the best of luck this year. This property was very special to me and the sales team as well as the buyer have been flat out awesome!!! As we transition to Missouri , I wish I had these guys guiding me to my new farm. God Bless every one of you.
If you are buying or selling, go with Landguys!
-Jason Soseman Aledo, IL
I purchased two properties using Don Wagner and the LandGuys! Don made both purchases go smoothly! Great guys to do business with!
-Ken Sparks, Kenn Motors Ottawa, IL
My father and I have always hoped of own a hunting property close to home. Landguys, and specifically Don Wagner helped make that possible. We shared our goals with Don and he spent many hours on the roadshowing us what was available. He educated us about things we never considered. When we found a property that was too good to be true, his work didn’t stop. He met us there several more times to walk the property, share his vision of how he would set us up, and hang trail cameras. Months later I still talk to Don about hunting strategies, deer activity, and what’s been going on in the woods. The group at Landguys are passionate about what they do. Thanks to them my father and I will have years of great memories to come!
-John Caywood Champaign, IL
Buying property should be an enjoyable expressionce. Don from LandGuys made sure it was. He was there every step of the way with answers to our questions, and was very helpful in the whole process.
-Pete & Susan Hermes
Your agent LT Taylor just closed the deal on our farm at the end of August for us. We are just here to attest to his expertise. For one year he was constantly in the loop. Never once, did he fail to return a phone call, text or email. He is a consummate professional!
Thanks,
-Randy & Janet Cornmesser
Our experience listing a home and property through The LandGuys was professional from start to finish.
Every detail flowed smoothly, starting with exceptionally high quality photography through closing arrangements, as a result of effective communication and attention to detail.
Our LandGuys broker immediately made a connection with our family and property, assuring the strongest representation and best price.

I have purchased 2 properties in the last year through Chase in Mercer county. Chase is a very relatable humble guy. I did not know Chase at all before purchasing my first property. Hes a great guy. Helpful and always is quick to respond to calls, texts and emails. He makes the process very simple and he is very up front. I like that. With today’s economy in some situations you have to get a little creative on marketing, presenting for both buyer and seller. Chase has been wide open to new ideas on dividing up properties and making them more appealing and affordable for young lower income people like myself. He gets the job done. Over all great experience and has helped my dreams become a reality.

Chase Burns did an outstanding job of helping us find our dream farm for our family. Very professional and highly knowledgeable when it comes to farming and wildlife!
James Zerfahs Knox County, IL
Chase helped our family purchase a recreational property. First and foremost, he was excellent at communication and very engaged throughout and after the process. If we had concerns or questions, he was quick to help us out, and made sure to meet us at every property we were looking at- walking all over with us. He was also family-friendly which was helpful as our kids are young. Another great thing about Chase is his extensive knowledge of land management- he helped us see the potential our land had and had ideas or contacts on how to make that dream a reality. We worked with a few other brokers early in our search and Chase was just so much better to work with. Overall – very satisfied!!! He helped us find our dream property and was very supportive the whole process through!
– Tracy Schrauben
My husband, Tim, and I met Chase during our search for land. We required wooded acreage with a building site suitable for our future home. We came out of the process very satisfied. His knowledge about trees, wildlife, and forestry was impressive. He willingly shared his knowledge and advice on each piece of property we looked at. Ultimately we found the right piece of land and Chase followed through on every detail from our first phone call to closing. I was impressed with Chase’s depth and breadth of knowledge, his professionalism, and especially his follow-though. His reliability and honesty are unmatched by any other agent I’ve ever met. His people skills are just a bonus. He communicated thoroughly and made our experience a positive one. I would work with Chase again on any future land purchases and will recommend him to anyone looking for property.
-Annette Kiesewetter Marketing Strategist & Landowner Washington, IL
I met Chase by responding to one of his recreational land listings. Having worked with a number of uninspiring agents, what I found in Chase completely changed all of my expectations for professionals working in this field. Chase’s knowledge, experience and expertise are second to none. What I most appreciate in Chase are his personal skills – he is honest, dependable, hard working, a great communicator and is 118% genuine. He is committed to his customers, his industry and professional growth – he loves what he does. For me, Chase has created a new “high bar” standard for those I seek to work with in this industry – so far, he is in a class all by himself.

Chase Burns defines “Above and Beyond”. My husband and I moved to Illinois from California, in the middle of an extended winter. Chase was amazing. We described the little farmhouse with acreage that we were dreaming about, and Chase found it. But, he didn’t want us to fly all the way to Illinois without seeing interior photos and having a full report, so he went out of his way to tour the property and sent us tons of pics and a full review, including info on the septic, roof and plumbing. We fell in love with our farmhouse and put an offer in within five days of the house being on the market. We have lived here and enjoyed our property for three months, now. Two mini-horses, three baby goats, 18 chickens, four cats and two dogs later… We are so in love with our hobby farm! Chase has freely shared his knowledge and contacts for land, hay, property upgrades, remodeling, ect. He is not only a professional realtor and an invaluable resource, he has also become a great friend. We have family planning to move to Illinois in the next year, and Chase’s services will be highly recommended to them! Thank you Chase for making our dreams come true.

I wanted to pass along a note and say thanks to Matt Cox and Landguys for helping me buy my first piece of ground. Matt Cox is a first class land broker! I have been looking for over 2 years and Matt has done a great job showing me the right pieces of ground. I know we would could have found something a little sooner, but I was pretty picky on what I wanted. Also, there are more buyers than sellers, so the market is tight.
Matt did a lot of pre-work and was able to identify quality properties by looking at plat books, aerial maps, and topo maps. That really helped my focus on just the quality deer hunting farms. What really made me feel comfortable is that Matt had a good idea of the hunting opportunities in given areas, hunting pressure, and local landowner information. This helped me focus on the right properties and I was able to buy a property in the Golden Triangle.
Also, Matt’s knowledge on going prices really helped me find the right piece of ground at the right price. This is especially hard in a seller’s market.
When we walked the land matt was able to identify funnels and pinch points that would make for ideal stand placement. We also talked about the practice of QDMA and strategic food plot locations. Also, with the opportunity of income from tillable, CRP or harvestable timber Matt helped frame up the pricing discussion and potential land cash flow opportunities. He also provided me with detailed land and hunting improvements that will add value to my property.
All in all Matt was a huge help in my land purchase. He made the 2 year journey easy and enjoyable. I look forward to this deer and turkey season here in Illinois.
Thanks, Jeff Rogers
We want to thank Matt Cox for the great job helping us sell our home. Matt was very professional and was very prompt in answering any of our questions. We also want to thank the camera man Don, for his fantastic representation of our house and land. We would definitely recommend Matt to all of our friends and family.
– Terry and Connie Freidinger
We had a great time working with Matt. He was very helpful when it came to locating people for inspections and being there when we weren’t able to be. We had some good laughs and some frustrating times but got through it great..
– Mary and Casey Richardson
Buying a home, especially as first-time buyer, can seem like a daunting task. But having LT and LandGuys assist us made everything simple and as straightforward as possible. We cannot say enough good things about LT and all his guidance and assistance during this process. He is knowledgeable, extremely attentive, and incredibly generous with his time. He made the extra time to answer every question we had, to sit down with us and explain every form, and made sure that this process was clear for us from start to finish. LT worked really hard to make sure that we would end up with a really nice piece of property that we could invest in and be happy with all for the best possible price. I would highly recommend LT and LandGuys.
-Dennis & Calla Stroh Steward, IL
The best properties, the best service, and the most attentive company I have ever worked with!
