"They are most knowledgeable farm and land real estate brokers I have ever worked with"
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.
Benson Family, 144 Acres
"Working with Johnny was a real pleasure."
We highly recommend their services to sellers. Working with Johnny was a real pleasure. He was knowledgeable, respectful, proactive when things began to happen quickly and thorough when we worked towards and ultimately through closing. My sisters and I appreciated his gentle heart towards us in light of the circumstances of our sale. He kept in close contact with us from the onset right through to the day we closed. He has even checked in a few times since then to see how we are doing. We highly recommend his services to a potential seller (or buyer for that matter!)

"Skilled, Caring and Professional; we highly recommend them."
We live in California but own a farm in Indiana. We found Geswein Farm & Land online and we sure are glad we did. We had a significant family ownership challenge with no easy answer. At first, we were hesitant with the proposed solution, but it turns out they were right. Now our family is on good terms again. Their team is skilled, caring, and professional; we highly recommend them.

"Experienced & Proactive Advisors & Brokers"
This team took care of every aspect of the sale including appraisals, management of the process, and negotiations on our undivided interest farms that are over 1,500 miles away from where we live. As an out of state landowners, we were impressed by the way they kept us informed and involved in every step of the process; their knowledge and experience in farmland sales in this region as well as their ability to interact with every member of our family was instrumental to the successful sale of farmland assets.

"Prompt with Communication & Thorough in Details"
My family and I had a great experience with Geswein when purchasing our property. We would highly recommend Chris Turnbell. Chris was prompt with communication, thorough with specific details, and left us feeling like we could count on him. He is refreshingly down to earth, level headed, and knowledgeable in his field. He worked hard to get needed information quickly, and made us feel like a priority.
