Testimonials

Wapello County, Iowa

Danny was great to work with. He patiently showed us many parcels of land over a two-year period, until we finally found the one piece that was right for both me and my wife. He made it possible for us to see the properties with the use of his side-by-side vehicle. My wife has bad knees, so without the use of his ATV we wouldn't have been able to really see the land; and, therefore, we wouldn't have purchased the property. He was easy to work with, without pressure, and helped us through the entire process from A to Z. We were looking for a wildlife/hunting property. HIs knowledge of the ins and outs of this type of land in Iowa was excellent. As a former wildlife biologist, I greatly appreciated his expertise. I highly recommend Danny to anyone searching for that right piece of property. He is honest, hard working, and won't steer you wrong. Sincerely Jim Sweeting

“Gail and I wanted to thank you for the time and effort you gave to show us the three properties we looked at. We feel that we received a true education regarding deer properties and how to evaluate them. You were patient, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the whole visit. As a former wildlife biologist, I really appreciated your attention to detail as a hunter and habitat manager… Again, thanks so much for the awesome service.”

Why Early Spring Is Perfect for Exploring Farmland

Early Spring Land Exploration: Uncovering Land’s True Potential By Danny Fane, Iowa Designated Managing Broker, LandGuys I believe early spring land exploration is the ideal time to discover a property’s hidden story. Every February and March, I head out when the trees stand bare, and the land reveals its true character. Clear deer trails, defined deer signs, and even the way deer navigate the fields provide unmatched insights for anyone looking to buy or better understand a property. Discovering Nature’s Clues When visiting a property, taking my time becomes essential. I walk the land deliberately, scouting for deer sheds and natural markers that unveil a farm’s potential. Each acre prompts me to wonder what makes it truly unique—whether it's an unusual drainage pattern, old tree lines, or a natural slope hinting at the land’s history. I capture detailed notes and photos to record nature’s subtle clues. These insights help me gauge the property’s charm and envision its future possibilities. Assessing and Connecting with the Land This season offers a unique opportunity to assess both farms I own and those I plan to purchase. I study the soil and analyze the layout while appreciating every natural detail that defines a property’s character. Observing how sunlight falls on different parts of the land, noticing subtle shifts in elevation, and understanding natural water flow all contribute to a richer perspective. Each visit deepens my connection to the land and fuels my passion. I take pride in helping others find their perfect slice of nature. Early spring provides the ideal chance to learn the true rhythm of a property and uncover its hidden potential. I encourage you to step outside, explore every corner, and embrace the beauty and mystery that each piece of land holds. Join me on this journey as we celebrate new beginnings and the unique potential that early spring unveils in every piece of rural land. Don't forget to follow me on Facebook!
