Matt Rhodes

Advisor, Appraiser, Broker

Advising Landowners & Farm Families

Areas of Expertise

“As a farmer and landowner, I understand the intricacies of buying or selling the family farm, as I’ve had to do. It is my goal and duty to help families in a time of need reach their goals, whether maximizing values or working with the long-time tenant. I have established buyers throughout my territory to meet the needs of my clients, including sale-leaseback situations for farmers. I enjoy nothing more than learning about my clients history on their land and helping them through every step of the buy or sale process.”

Wetli Family | 194 Acres

We highly recommend Geswein Farm & Land. Their knowledge of real estate & perhaps equally importantly, their sensitivity to people’s memories and experiences make them an outstanding listing agent. They are most knowledgeable farm and land real estate brokers I have ever worked with and ALWAYS available to answer questions and offer help.
