Chase Burns

Buyer

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

“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!”

Buyer

“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.”

Buyer

“I used Chase to help me purchase my 1st IL farm. When I started the process, I contacted Chase to get his thoughts on what I wanted to accomplish. In the process, I learned that Chase has a background in habitat improvement and wildlife biology. Further, Chase has also been in real estate and construction most of his career. As a professional, he’s more than qualified, extremely credible, and an avid hunter (so he knows where all the big bucks are!) As I went through the property review process, Chase was super helpful and applied his expertise across a broad range of properties pointing out the value tracts, unseen opportunities, hidden gems and the best opportunities. In a short period of time, we identified our best opportunity and were able to smoothly secure it. In addition to the buying process, Chase adds value after the sales. As an avid hunter and wildlife biologist, he can help develop your land/property management strategy and identify your greatest bang for your buck. Whether you are a habitat – deer hunter, farmer, or a home buyer, Chase is a reliable source that can steer you in the right direction. Anyone looking at real estate in Western IL is lucky to work with Chase.”

Buyer & Seller

“This is my second time working with Chase Burns. I’m new to buying and selling recreational property. The prospect of buying land can be stressful for newbies. The first property I bought was listed by Chase. He answered all my questions promptly and scheduled time for us to walk the property. I told him I was interested in making an offer and he helped me put one together. He also introduced me to 1031 exchanges. I closed on the property soon after that. Fast forward a few years and I was ready to upgrade. I found a property I really liked and made an offer prior to selling my farm. Buying before selling can be stressful if you need the proceeds to finance the new property. Chase provided guidance on how much to offer on the property I wanted to purchase. He also provided a pricing strategy for my property to maximize profit. Chase was patient with me. Clock was ticking to close on the new property and we needed to sell mine quickly. Land Guys put together very strong marketing materials and we were able to close on both properties within days of each other. Everyone in the land real estate business knows each other. They all want to make a deal work. It’s in your best interest to work with someone like Chase to set up a deal that works for you. I highly recommend Chase and Land Guys to get top dollar for your farm and strong marketing support to get it in front of potential buyers fast and efficiently.

“The dream of purchasing a farm is daunting if you have never done it. You can second guess just about every step if you don’t have a the right people surrounding you. This is where Chase steps in and shines. His knowledge and understanding of the market and properties for sale in west central Illinois gave us the confidence to move forward and realize our dream. You will also learn very quickly walking a property that he knows land management and what it takes to work a farm to meet the goals you have for it. We could not be happier with the decision to work with him, If you are interested in buying a farm or need help managing your current one, you need to contact Chase!“

Buyer

If I had to choose words to describe Chase, I’d start with patient. We got connected with Chase a few years back as we began our search for our slice of heaven. We missed on a piece back then, but it was great to meet Chase and walk the land with him. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of this land buying and land-management process. The road to this point has been long and winding. Chase has been ever-patient as we debated looking in other states and areas. He always answered our questions no matter where we were looking, and put up with our indecisiveness. Fast forward to 2023 and Anchor Point Farm is a reality. We were excited that Chase was the listing agent. We couldn’t have done it without Chase’s patience and leadership through this process.“

Seller

“Chase Burns listed and sold our house and was very professional every step of the way. He led us through several complicated issues, provided the pros and cons and helped us make good decisions. We would recommend his services.“

Buyer

“We met Chase several years ago on our path to owning a small farmstead. There was an instant ease as he sought to understand the type of property we were searching for. If you are considering a land realtor, do yourself a favor and read Chase’s complete bio. You will find that he has A LOT of expertise in many facets of land management. We found his knowledge of properties and access to professional resources absolutely invaluable! Chase handled not only the purchase of our farmstead, but also the sale of a small acreage we owned. We had so many questions through the whole process! However, Chase was a call or text away and ever so patiently, clearly and concisely explained our options in each situation. We really feel like we had the VERY BEST possible outcome in both transactions. We recommend Chase–he really does want to be your ‘land guy’

Buyer

"We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with our land buying experience with LandGuys, Chase Burns, & Don Wagner! They were excellent every step of the way. Our questions were answered and the process went very smooth. We would definitely recommend.“
