Testimonials
"I looked for hunting property in western Kentucky for about a year, found a couple I liked, but never sealed the deal. Then I started working with Matt Young and things turned around. Matt listed the perfect property, in terms of location, acreage, quality of the landscape, a decent cabin, etc. Matt worked tirelessly to help me secure the property and is a true dual agent looking out for the interests of both the buyer and seller. He did everything I asked in a timely manner, and I give him my highest recommendation without reservation. Owing to Matt’s help, we now own a beautiful hunting property in western Kentucky that will be handed down to our descendants for generations to come. We couldn’t be happier, and we owe a lot to Matt’s skill as a realtor specializing in recreational properties. As far as I’m concerned, Matt Young and Whitetail Properties can’t be beat when it comes to finding hunting property that matches a client’s budget and inclinations - they are a first class operation. Plus, I made a friend in Matt that I feel I can call on for land management advice.
