Testimonials
"I am delighted to write this letter on behalf of Brian Utecht and Mike Harris. During the past two decades I have occupied four houses, owned two parcels of land and interacted with eight realtors over a four-state area. I can say without reservation Brian, and especially Mike, have been the most personable, professional and communicative realtors I have experienced.
My first contact with Mike was what I would label a “cold call”. I had contacted two other realtors prior to Mike regarding property in Missouri, and neither followed up with me. Mike, on the contrary, immediately responded to my call and began looking for a parcel that would appeal to me. Mike took the time to get to know me personally and understand my needs, budget and preferred location for the property. His extensive knowledge of rural Missouri was invaluable because he is extraordinarily familiar with the topography and surrounding communities.
After looking at several parcels of land, we settled on twenty acres near Lebanon, Missouri. Again, Mike’s incredible knowledge of the community was helpful because he seemed to know everyone personally. This enabled Mike to assure my wife and me that we would be a good fit and welcomed by everyone. Mike was present for our closing and totally supportive of us during the entire process, including communicating with the listing agent and title company representative. He made the process seamless.
Mike’s work ethic and strong faith should make him a valued employee of Whitetail Properties. Even though our purchase was relatively small compared to the mega properties listed by Whitetail Properties, Mike made us feel like we were valued and essentially the most important client he was representing.
My wife and I are most appreciative of the gift Brian and Mike sent us. The drink cups are exceptionally good quality, and the hats are amazing. (My wife knows I love hats, so both are in my possession.) Based on our experience we would use Whitetail again and wholeheartedly recommend Whitetail Properties to others without reservation."
