FAQ
Most real estate companies do what we like to call "of course" marketing.
"Of course" marketing is what every company does. Exposing your property to buyers on LandWatch, Land.com, Land And Farm, Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, the MLS and Facebook.
"Of course" we do that too.
In addition, we produce engaging videos showcasing your property and get it in front of more people through social media and paid advertising.
Most buyers begin their property search online. On a regular basis we create local, value-based videos that attract buyers in their research phase.
Not only are they seeing our educational videos, they are also seeing your property.
Our goal is to make sure that any potential buyer for your property will see it.
The answer to this can vary greatly. Many times it comes down to one main factor, price. There are other factors, like market conditions, desirability of the property, marketing and how many buyers your property is exposed to.
What we can tell you about timing is, if your property is priced appropriately and marketed well, it will sell efficiently.
Going with an agent that promises the highest price is not always the best option. The longer a property sits on the market, the greater chance it has to become stigmatized, where buyers ask themselves "what's wrong with it?"
Our job is to prioritize what's most important to you in the sale - many times that means making you the most money possible. We are consistently able to bring top-dollar for many sellers we work with. That starts with pricing appropriately (strong but not too high) and putting together a listing that activates buyer enthusiasm.
Increased interest rates have reduced what some buyers can afford. However, buyer demand is still high. You can still anticipate strong demand and a strong sales price. We have not seen demand soften to the extent that prices are decreasing. If we anticipate or see this happening, we will keep you informed.
It sounds broad, but the best answer we can give you is, it varies. Vacant land here in Southwest Wisconsin is selling anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000+ per acre (*this range does not include wetland). There are many factors that determine what your property is worth - location, size, terrain, number of tillable acres, soils and land use/capability. Even if you don't anticipate selling for several years, it is important to know what your property is worth so you can plan. Contact us for a free value report to check what your property is worth.
As land sales professionals, we help you understand what to expect when selling. Usually the best time to sell is when is right for you. We will discuss your individual situation with you to determine timing that works best.
Some properties may be better suited to sell different times of the year. For example, with hunting properties we notice an increase in buyer enthusiasm late Summer, early Fall and late Fall through Spring. This is because hunting season is top-of-mind.
No matter what time of year it is, our job is to get your property in front of the most amount of buyers so you get an offer at the price and terms you want. We list, show, and sell properties year-round.

Aaron Ewing
Richland Co, WI - Spring 2024
I worked with Luke and Justin from the LandGuys team to sell my property in Richland County. I’ve worked in real estate for over ten years, so I considered selling the property on my own. After one meeting with Luke and Justin I realized that these guys could market my property far better than I ever could. They took the time to understand what made my property special, and they did an outstanding job displaying that on the market. What impressed me the most was how knowledgeable they were and the amount of time they dedicated to my property. I felt like they knew the property just as well as me when it was listed. The communication was excellent and the transaction went smoothly, bringing me top dollar. These guys are the best in the business. I look forward to working with them again.

Crawford Co, WI - Spring 2024
Justin and Luke did a fantastic job listing and following through on the sales of our 2 properties in Northern Crawford County this spring, 2 relatively smooth cash sales in good time. I would highly recommend working with them. We were particularly impressed with the excellent communication from them. After a number of real estate transactions that we have done we have not come across better communication from a realtor ever than either Justin or Luke. Very good work and very happy with the outcome.

Monroe Co, WI - Spring 2023
I met Luke and team at the Turkey spring. I was looking for land in SW Wisconsin. Luke was able to meet me at the land the very next day, UTV ready, and happily spent two hours showing us every corner of a beautiful 139 acre property. Of course we had to buy it! Luke and team were responsive throughout the transaction and even afterward. I highly recommend these guys!
