Testimonials

“Good service and responsive to all questions.Transactions went smoothly and super easy. I would definitely do business with Toby and LandGuys again.

“Toby did a great job. We had been looking for our first farm for several months. Toby shared one with us that wasn’t yet listed and was able to help facilitate a deal with the seller. I travel a lot for work so the flexibility Toby offered along with remote closing etc helped make it a very smooth process. He also got some info for us like buck history, tree plantings, past food plots, shed hunting, general deer movement etc to help us get a jump start learning the property.

“If you are in the market for high quality hunting ground in IL, IA, or MO, I strongly recommend you call Toby Stay. He has a gift for finding incredible farms. My experience working with Toby was professional, seamless, and enjoyable.

“So many people call themselves land specialist, only for you later realize they are not. Toby Stay is actually the best Land Specialist/Realtor I have ever met. In fact I trusted him enough that when he called me and said I have found exactly what you were looking for I bought the farm sight unseen! I was floored when I finally walked the property after closing and I couldn’t be happier!!! If you are looking for real estate in Illinois or Iowa I would only call Toby. I have been in and around the real estate industry via banking and insurance for the last 27 years an I assure you he won’t let you down!!!.

“I’ve purchased three properties with Toby, and his knowledge, not only of the market, but of hunting and land management, are exceptional.  He’s also very humble, and works hard, which, overall, makes for a great combination in assisting one’s search for hunting properties.  If the opportunity presents itself to utilize Toby’s expertise, I’d highly recommend doing so

Chris Sonetz

“Thank you for all you did for us! Toby went above and beyond what any real estate agent has ever done for us before, between looking for a new house and land to the negotiations process to the fine details of closing. I would use Toby again for sure.
