Jan 7, 2025 Every Acre Tells a Story Every Acre Tells a Story Every Acre Tells a Story: Legacy Properties and the Families Who Call Them Home Written by: Jenny Anderson, Director of Operations, LandGuys As I kick off my 10th year with LandGuys in 2025, I reflect on how much I’ve learned since I joined the company. From the start, it was clear that this company was about so much more than just buying and selling land. It was about understanding the deeply personal stories tied to every acre. Whether working closely with our agents to improve processes or supporting their training and development, I’ve always been inspired by the connections our clients have to their land. These aren’t just transactions—they’re legacies. Each year, we have the privilege of helping families write new chapters in their land stories, and 2024 was no exception. Rapid Sale with Multiple Offers “All I can say is if you have a property for sale you need Danny Fane! From the cutting edge high-tech drone video used to show every square inch of the property to his wonderful and knowledgeable expertise in how to market it on social media. My family was so impressed and within 4 days of listing we had 4 offers on the table!” — Duane and Susan Mooney The Best at Showcasing Recreational Properties “Jason Bredemann and his team are the best at showcasing recreational properties. His marketing skills, understanding of outdoor lifestyles, and commitment to both buyers and sellers made the entire process seamless. He found the perfect buyer for our cherished property, and we couldn’t be happier.” — Todd Richards Guidance Through Multiple Transactions “Chase Burns has guided us through three land transactions with unmatched knowledge, character, and work ethic. Whether buying or selling, he was the calming voice we needed every step of the way. Chase has helped our family achieve opportunities we didn’t think were possible. He’s the guy to call.” — Alex and Katy Carlson Seamless Guidance During Transition “Scott Schoenherr’s guidance and help throughout the phases of the house sale were greatly appreciated. He made an unexpected transition incredibly smooth and stress-free!” — Amanda Blaskowski Professionalism and Client Care “Ross Sorensen did an unbelievable job in listing, marketing, and closing on my farmland. He is professional, knowledgeable, and cares deeply for his clients. I would highly recommend Ross above any other rural property agent in the area!” — Julie Rayburn Exceptional Service and Expertise “Nathan Cumpton was able to find me a property that fit perfectly with my plan and answered all my questions along the way. His professionalism and helpfulness made the process seamless. I’d definitely recommend Nathan and LandGuys to anyone looking for property!” — Chris Stefani Expert Marketing and Quick Sale “Selling our cherished property was a difficult decision, but working with Luke Wessel and Justin Bernklau made the process seamless. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and the stunning media production showcased our land perfectly. Within six days of listing, the property sold at asking price with no contingencies. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend LandGuys!” — Kelly and Carol Heibel Knowledgeable and Easy to Work With “If you’re looking for a farm, Toby Stay is your guy. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. And if whitetail hunting is your desire, you hit the jackpot. Toby’s knowledge of whitetail habitat and hunting tactics is an added bonus.” — Bill Walden Creating Memories on a Hunting Retreat “My father and I have always dreamed of owning a hunting property close to home. LandGuys, and specifically Don Wagner, helped make that possible. Thanks to them, my father and I will have years of great memories to come!” — John Caywood, Champaign, IL Finding the Perfect Hunting Ground “Matt Cox is a first-class land broker! He identified quality properties and helped me find the perfect hunting farm in the Golden Triangle. His knowledge made the process easy and enjoyable.” — LandGuys Client Local Expertise and Smooth Transactions “Andrew Huber helped me sell a property in rural Peoria County. His local roots and family’s decades of real estate experience set him apart. Andrew’s positive demeanor and excellent people skills ensured a smooth closing process for everyone involved. I highly recommend Andrew for any real estate transactions; you won’t be disappointed.” — Roger Lawson Carrying Stories Forward These stories are a testament to the incredible experiences and relationships we’ve been privileged to be part of at LandGuys. For me, it’s about more than managing operations—it’s about ensuring that every agent is equipped to help their clients navigate these meaningful transitions and that every client feels heard and supported throughout their journey. As we look ahead to 2025, I’m excited about the opportunities to continue honoring the legacies tied to the land we represent. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply dreaming, LandGuys is here to help you write the next chapter of your story. Your land has a legacy, and we’re honored to help carry it forward. Let’s make 2025 a year of connection, trust, and lasting memories.
