Success Stories

  • Boyce was great to work with, the land was just as advertised and the professionalism that he brought to the table and the willingness to work with us went a long in making our decision to purchase this property. I highly recommend to people looking for a great piece of property to contact him.

  • John,
    I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your help and input throughout the entire process of making my first land purchase.  Every time I called with questions you were always quick to get back with me.  You kept in close contact with me, the sellers and the title company to make sure things went smoothly. When closing day came everything went well, we didn’t run into any problems or issues at the table.
    If an opportunity arises for another purchase I certainly would not hesitate to get in touch with you.  I certainly would recommend your services to anyone who is interested in finding the ideal hunting place or land investment.
    Thanks again

  • We thoroughly enjoyed our farm purchasing experience with Derek.  It is a unique opportunity to look at properties with an individual who is so knowledgeable on whitetail hunting, deer management, and the local deer herd.  So often, farm realtors know farming but not the depth and type of information important to someone passionate about trophy whitetails.  It was both useful and enjoyable to exchange ideas about QDM type farm development and hunting strategy with Derek.  Derek’s knowledge, however, did not end with the deer aspect of the purchase.  He was very keen to all the facets of our farm purchase and kept us informed during the process.  Furthermore, his ‘no-pressure’ approach to closing the deal was very much appreciated.  In short, a person will be glad of their decision to use Derek Grimsrud in purchasing their dream Midwest property.

  • Dear John,
    We are so pleased that you were able to sell our church camp property that was severely damaged in May of 2009.  Even with the large trees down and logged and most of the buildings damaged, you helped us determine what direction we needed to go.  You helped us identify what buildings should be demolished and how to get the place cleaned up such that it could be shown, with minimum work.
    You saw great potential in what we thought was a disaster.  Sure enough, in relatively little time, you had many interested buyers.  Even with the delays of surveys and title work, loan officers and minute details that were bothersome, you hung in there for us.
    What a joy is was to work with you through this process.  You had the uncanny ability to know just how to proceed.  And how fun it has been to get to know you on a personal level.  Certainly we would recommend you to any who might inquire.

  • I listed and sold my land in Marinette County, Wisconsin with Kitslaar Real Estate in 2011.  I was very impressed with all facets of the selling process, from the initial meeting on-site all the way through to the closing.  The staff were professional, responsive, detail oriented and friendly.  They helped me work through a few difficult issues and provided excellent advice.  I highly recommend their services.  I was amazed at how quickly they sold my land and I achieved a high price for the property.

  • Brian... I want to thank you for your assistance in the sale of my cabin and hunting 40 in Shawano County.  After talking to two other local real estate agents, it was an easy decision to list my property with you and Whitetail Properties.  The exposure that I got through your website was amazing. 

    You were the only agent that took the time to walk my entire property (several times) to become familiar with it and take photos that highlighted the features that deer hunters would be interested it.  Your help and advice about all the little things that go into getting a property ready to show were invaluable.  All these things resulted in many showings and a sales contract in a very short time in a tough general real estate market. 

    Thanks again,
