My name is Derek Linton. I would like to share my experience of purchasing my first farm through Kirk Gilbert and Whitetail Properties and why they receive five stars across the board. First off, I would like to say working with Kirk on this deal was fantastic. He made the whole process very easy and enjoyable. Kirk was very informative and his work ethic is unparalleled. Not to mention he is a great guy and I have now gained a friendship for life. They will find the right property for you and teach you how to give your property the most potential for scoring a trophy year after year. All I can say is if you are halfway thinking about buying/selling hunting property; don't take my word for it, come find out for yourself why Kirk Gilbert and whitetail properties make a deadly combination. Happy Hunting.
 
                        

“Purchasing land through Whitetail Properties was a very enjoyable experience and I attribute that to my agent, Matt Holmes. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and answered all my questions, keeping me informed of where we were at during negotiations. Being a first time land buyer, I was a little hesitant and overwhelmed, but Matt did a great job explaining everything about the process.  Thank you Whitetail Properties and Matt Holmes. I love my land!”

As retirement grew closer for me, I wanted to sell my ranch land. I suspected it would take a couple of years to get it sold. I contacted Dean Anderson with Whitetail Properties to inquire about a listing. Dean took my information and traveled to my ranch to view it for himself to get a better idea of what the property would need to sell it. Dean spent several hours at the ranch and took a lot of pictures. He told me that he thought he could sell the ranch within 30 days. I was somewhat skeptical of this, since I had a second house for sale for almost two years! I listed the ranch with Whitetail Properties and was impressed with the listing and photos Dean had taken. Much to my amazement the property had an offer come in the first day and within less than a month it was sold!
 

I don't provide endorsements for many folks, but Blake Farrar is a rare exception. With regards to Blake as a person, Blake is an honest, straightforward, very likeable, easy to communicate with, and most responsive individual. Beyond that, he is very knowledgeable with regards to hunting properties. He strives to learn what his client truly desires, what their budget is, and why they want what they want.

After learning these things, he promptly goes to work. He endeavors to get the best and most fair deal for all parties involved. Further, if a deal on a particular property is not to be made, he quickly moves forward in his search of other properties to still accomplish the desires of his client. He did exactly this for me in mid-2013 when he helped me acquire a 116-acre hunting property in Throckmorton County.

Bottom line, Blake is just a good guy. I trust what he tells me and believe he is always working in my best interest. You will find your partnership with Blake to be an enjoyable, productive, and satisfying one.

Joey Bellington was a true pleasure to work with. He first listened to what I was looking for, and was very careful to not waste my time with properties that did not fit the criteria. As a first time property buyer I had many questions around what to look for in a rural property. He was tremendously informative and even connected me with third party companies to give me advice and further services. This was truly a great experience and would highly recommend Joey and the Whitetail Properties team!

Joe was great to work with and I will recommend him to my friends and family. It was a great experience!

I would like to thank Carl Miller for all of his help in our purchase of the Robertson-Mason property. My wife and I really love the area. I told Carl when we first met that he seemed more like a friend than a realtor. We still feel the same way and hope that if I ever choose to do something like this again, he will be able to assist us. We were really impressed at how well Carl knew and explained the property boundaries. It seemed like he wanted to make sure that we understood every detail about the place. Believe me his presentation was very reassuring. My wife and I felt confident that we were getting what we wanted. Thanks again, Carl is a good guy.

Jason and my path crossed several years ago while I was attending an auction. It was during those few minutes that we discovered we had quite a bit in common, a passion for hunting and enjoying the beauty of the Loess Hills in Western Iowa. As I got to know more about Jason I felt very fortunate to have stumbled across this walking encyclopedia and was amazed at the knowledge he possessed about hunting and his enthusiasm to share this with me. During our discussions I began to understand the relationship a landowner / hunter must have with his property, the care it takes to improve wildlife habitat in order to maximize its wildlife potential as well as identifying the key elements which will make a property one that you will want to own for a lifetime.  Last year I contacted Jason about several properties that I intended to sell and asked for his assistance. Despite the short timeline Jason responded quickly and worked tirelessly to market these properties. Jason didn’t just stop at getting the listing and turning the property over to other sales people, he spent hours learning and understanding the property so that he could explain the potential of it to who ever he showed it to.  It amazed me at his ability to match the ideal buyer(s) for our property. He not only spent time to understand our property so he could point out the highlights and potential but he also spent additional time with each potential buyer to understand what the buyer was searching for to ensure that their purchase would be that “once in a lifetime opportunity.”

That first year I committed to hunting as much as possible.  67 days were spent hunting 3 specific bucks that were captured on trail camera.  I was able to harvest two of the bucks with my bow that both scored in the 170’s, and a third buck with my muzzle loader that scored in the mid-160’s.

Whitetail Properties and Gabe Adair were kind, courteous and very professional while listening to what our requirements were to purchasing a farm.  They were able to fulfill those requirements and help us purchase the farm we had been dreaming about for years.

Thanks to Whitetail Properties and especially Gabe Adair for helping locate my family’s piece of whitetail heaven.

Todd has found his true calling. I took my best ever bowkill on a Kansas tract he found for us! A 178" B&C bruiser! Todd knows what it takes to find tracts with all the ingredients for big deer.
