REVIEWS BRENDA DAVIS

LEVI BAPPE

To say that Whitaker Marketing Group performed a great finale, assisted my every need, answered my every question, responded promptly and courteously to my phone/text/e-mails for the auction of a unique horse ranch can not even closely express the professionalism and knowledge this company provided. Their hard work, to the auction day, was evident with the final bid received. When it came time to sell sell this unique property, as Trustee, I was referred to David and Ann from a company who appraised the property. From my first phone call and our first meeting on the property site, they were very informed with their input and in answering my questions regarding auctioning off the ranch and also the household property.

With their knowledge and support I was able to receive a very blessed high bid which I’m still pinching myself when I talk to others about the auction. I will always be greatful for their professionalism and also their kindness and support (and humor!) during this process. They may not miss my phone calls but I will definitely miss visiting with them. I highly recommend Whitaker Marketing Group for anybody’s real estate and auction needs.

Working with David and his team is pretty straight forward, with plenty of communication prior to the auction and after all the way to closing. I also believe the auctions were very successful for our 2 properties. I highly recommend Whitaker Marketing Group to anyone looking for auction services!

JUDY THOMPSON Working with the Whitaker Marketing Group has been nothing but a stellar performance from beginning to end. From the moment I arrived for the initial consultation I was met with professionalism and a very positive attitude. They had already completed their homework and had a brochure prepared containing their proposal to move forward. Their communication was very proactive in that they anticipated and answered my questions before I could even ask. Once the contract was signed they continued to communicate their progress regarding advertising and inquiries right up to the date of the sell. The entire staff exuded the same positive attitude as Dave and Ann. If there were complications they took care of them before coming to me. Both Dave and Ann had marketing insight and knowledge that was right on target with our outcome. I would not hesitate turning any sell into their hands. Our family was extremely happy working with the Whitaker Marketing Group. Thank you so much for all that you did for us.

SHARON CORDNER I am truly grateful to David and Ann Whitaker and the marketing team! Selling the family farm was truly a difficult and emotional time. From the very first phone call, I knew we picked the right team. David spent so much time talking with us, explaining the whole process of auction, how land value is determined and so much more. He truly put our minds at ease. Both he and Ann were always in contact with us during all phases of the process. If we had questions they were always willing and available to answer.

The auction itself was handled wonderfully, reaching a very good sell price. Everything thereafter flowed seamlessly, escrow, closing etc. I highly recommend the Whitaker Marketing Group!

4.9 Rating COREY HILLEBO Whitaker Marketing helped me both on the selling and the buying side for farmland in 2024. Everything went smoothly and deadlines were met. Their professionalism and knowledge of farmland was truly a huge value! 5/5 recommend!

JIM JOHNSON They are the best! Their marketing was second to none in selling some farmland for my family.

Extremely thorough and professional from our first meeting to the in person/online auction.

Communication was constant and the result couldn’t have been better. The eventual buyer made a point after the sale to tell me that we had really picked the right people/company to sell our land. She was so impressed with the marketing. Thank you David, Ann and your staff.
