I would like to take the opportunity to relay my overwhelming gratitude for your company and specifically one of your land specialists, Greg Graczyk. I truly cannot begin to explain what he has meant to my family, but I can give you a little background and hopefully you will get an idea. I grew up in Cokato, MN and my wife and I have been looking for land there to build a home so our children will have the opportunity for a lifestyle similar to what I experienced growing up. We had been looking for quite a long time but could never find a property that had all we were looking for in the right location. Upon my return from a military deployment in November last year, we came across the property we ended up buying. We first looked at it just after Thanksgiving and felt we found "the one". I called Greg first thing on Monday, Dec 1st to express our interest. As it turns out, he was set to meet with the seller later that day with 2 offers in hand and that we may have missed our opportunity. I immediately gave a verbal offer and expressed our sincere interest and asked that he pass it to the seller. Fortunately for us, the seller was willing to give us 2 days to get everything in order for a formal written offer complete with financials, etc. This is where it gets interesting. On the evening of December 1st, my wife went into labor and we were off to the hospital. I then proceeded to spend the next two days between delivery room, phone calls, emails and paperwork signing. Greg was there every step of the way. There were literally dozens of emails and phone calls late into evenings and early in the morning, and Greg never missed a beat. It would have been very easy for him to just do the minimum (after all, there were already 2 good offers) and we would have never been able to get everything in order in those 2 days, but he went above and beyond. On the morning of Thursday, December 4th, as I pulled into the garage with my 3 day old son, Greg gave me a call. After first expressing his congratulations on my new child, he said he would keep the vibe going and let us know the seller accepted our offer. We were going to have our dream land and our new son would have a new world to explore as he grows up! Needless to say, my wife and I were elated. I could tell Greg was sincerely happy for us, but he wasn't done yet. There was a mistake made over 20 years ago when the road leading to our property was surveyed. A simple number transposition, but because of the mistake, there was no building entitlement for the property. Greg worked tirelessly with the seller and kept us informed of all of the ramifications with every update or change. All of the new survey work and recording was not complete at time of closing, and Greg proved to be a great, honest voice that was truly looking out for our best interest. The closing went off without a hitch, but a few days later, Greg was still making phone calls to the county to ensure everything was cleaned up. He is also staying in touch offering his knowledge of Green Acres tax incentives and his experience in land planning, knowing our desire to enter some of the property into a Conservation program. The deal is done, but he keeps on giving. Prior to this purchase, I can honestly say I had never heard of Whitetail Properties. I will say that after the service that was given to us, I will be one of its biggest advocates. The hats that were graciously sent to us will be worn with pride and I will absolutely be telling people why I am proud to wear it. On behalf of my wife and family, thank you to Whitetail Properties for hiring great people like Greg Graczyk and for the service you all provide.
