What My Clients Are Saying
THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF A few years ago I started dreaming about trying to acquire a recreational or getaway hunting property. With four kids ages 8, 10, 15 and 19 I thought this would be a worthwhile achievement for family enrichment as well as a good investment. Exactly 10 months ago I finally put together a wish list; half wooded, half tillable, a creek, river or pond, less than an hour away from my home, and many other ‘wants’ as well. Next, I made a list of four real estate agents who advertise that they specialize in such properties. I reached out to each agent via a mailed letter of introduction and similar email asking them to call me to verify they received the list of my goals and hopefully to tell me about any available properties that might fit the bill. Out of the four agents I contacted only two called back. And of those two only one called again (ever) and suggested we meet face-to-face so that we could both share our goals and objectives, as well as to get a chance to meet each other. That agent was Brent Grosse of Whitetail Properties. Not only did Brent immediately begin the task of assessing my goals and professionally educating me about the process, he also shared numerous beneficial insights into what it would take to achieve my goals. Within a matter of days Brent began sending me meaningful information on available properties; maps, pictures, pricing, and much more. Soon we were riding his ATV through various farms exploring properties while all the while Brent was carefully accessing what drew me towards certain properties and what turned me off. It wasn’t long before Brent had such a good idea of what I would accept that he would only send me data on properties which really did fit my bill. Yet even when I said no, he never wavered but on the contrary encouraged me to not settle for something I did not feel comfortable with and to hang in there and not get discouraged. Then one day Brent informed me he felt he found the perfect spot. It was a truly picturesque property partially wooded, partially tilled, with a beautiful meandering trout stream running through it and was filled with deer, turkey, pheasants, coyotes and more. As we neared making an offer and up to the time of closing Brent provided me with the type of excellent advice that only someone with his years of experience could provide, advice that would prevent future pitfalls and regrets. But it did not end at the closing. Indeed, as soon as the deal was done, Brent was placing trail cams on the property and mapping wildlife movement for me. He even helped me find contractors and land movers to ready a building sight and build trails- all after the deal was closed. One day while visiting my newly acquired property with my two youngest children, in the distance the kids saw Brent moving around checking trail cameras. My daughter asked, “Dad, who is that man?” I said, “honey that’s the man that helped find this place for us.” To which my daughter replied, “So what does he do daddy?” After pausing for a few seconds it dawned on me what Brent Grosse really does do and so I earnestly replied, “Honey, that man makes dreams come true, that’s what he does." While the cabin is at present only in its beginning stages, and there is still much work to do, we have already been able to enjoy fresh trout taken from the stream as well as many pheasants harvested by my son and I. Better still, I can’t express what it was like a few weeks ago to be with my son when he harvested the first deer off our own place. And I too quite enjoyed the following week when I bagged a nice 8-pointer off my own property. As I was sitting in the deer blind the other day enjoying nature I remember being overcome with a deep sense of gratitude, of feeling so blessed by the Almighty that this farm had somehow come to fruition. And then it immediately dawned on me that had it not been for Brent Grosse it would never have happened. It happened because Brent Grosse truly loves what he does, genuinely understands the outdoors and hunting, and most important cares so very deeply about his customers. In short, Brent has a passion for doing good, and helping others and it clearly shows. As an owner of a business with clients worldwide, I think I’m pretty good at reading people and certainly know the energy and effort it takes to ‘get the job done.” As such, I can say without any hesitation that if someone in Northeast Iowa is looking to achieve what I was able to achieve, then they need look no further than Brent Grosse. I would recommend Brent to anyone because I know that he is a consummate professional, a true gentleman and results oriented, or like I told my 10 year old daughter, Brent Grosse makes dreams come true. Sincerely yours,

Over the past three years I have had the opportunity to work with Brent Grosse of Whitetail Properties on both purchase and sale of hunting properties. Brent has proven to be a valuable resource given his in depth experience of the local markets that he serves, as well as his customer service forcus. Where other real estate brokers will push their clients to a "price point" just to get a transaction to close as quickly as possible, Brent will offer facts and advice based on what is best for his client-this could include the decision not to buy or sell at a particular time. For anyone looking to purchase or sell prime hunting land in the midwest, I would recommend you to speak with Brent Grosse.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Brent on my first land purchase. Brent was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Brent combines his real estate expertise and love of the outdoors with a genuine passion for serving his clients. I highly recommend partnering with Brent and Whitetail Properties.
John Jensen, Client
Brent Grosse was the consummate agent. Besides being the only agent to return my inquiry, Brent followed up by meeting and touring our property within weeks of our initial contact. He walked me, my wife, and brother through the listing process and he helped us work through some legal issues that arose at the time of disclosure. Brent was very approachable and knowledgeable and had our family interests at the top of his priorities. His real estate skills, interpersonal skills, and contract knowledge are second to none. We will and would recommend him to anyone we know trying to sell hunting or recreational property.
Ken Rued, Client
I Could not have had a better agent. Brent represented me in such a way that always had my best interest first and foremost. He provided sound, logical advice and suggestions. He was also open to suggestions, and was willing to discuss the pros and cons. Brent, while approachable with a sense of humor, knows his business and works hard at it. He maintained a quality report with all involved--buyers, sellers, would-be buyers, and other agencies involved. An outstanding professional!!
John, Client
Brent's professionalism, knowledge and caring demeanor are the main reasons he was chosen to represent my sister and I in the difficult task of selling a portion of our family farm. Throughout the entire process he communicated effectively with both of us so we were informed of every detail even though one of us lives in MN and the other in IA. I greatly appreciated his love for the land, and his diligence to find a buyer who would care for it the way I would. He will definitely be my first contact if realtor services are needed again.
Cris Miner, Client
Brent was excellent! I immediately felt comfortable working with him. I think he was more excited about my getting the property than I was. Brent repeatedly made it known that if I ever had questions or needed help, he would always be available to assist me. I also appreciated the help and communication provided by his secretary, Mary.
Michael Freeseman, Client
Brent was wonderful to work with! His knowledge and appreciation of our property during the selling process was refreshing and reassuring. He was extremely respectful of myself and my sister and was a great teacher when it came to unfamiliar areas. I would recommend Brent as an agent to any land seller or buyer in a heartbeat!
Cristee Miner, Client
Brent did a great job, and I was impressed with the options he gave us in order to sell the property. He went out of his way to make it less stressful on us. We are now looking for a new property and look forward to seeing what Brent can find for us.
Julie Gibson, Client
I wanted to let you know what a great experience it was working with Brent Grosse. He did an excellent job for us. He offered us ideas to get our property sold quickly. He also went above the call of duty and took our abstract to Elkader, I don't think that is normal. Now we are looking for a hunting property to buy and we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with Brent as he looks for a property for us to purchase. Thank you also for all the things you did to pull the exchange together. Thank you and have a great day!!
