CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

“Thank you again for making the sale a success! I appreciate that you were always available for our questions and concerns. Please thank your associates as well. I found them to be professional as well as personable! I will sleep well tonight.” -- Lisa M

“The farm that I was the buyer of closed this morning. Darwin Thue did a nice job throughout the process, especially since he was limited to how much he could correspond with the FSA loan officer. He spent a considerable amount of time trying to navigate this deal to closing. I had 1031 deadlines that were starting to come into play, but everything worked out fine. I wanted to pass this along as I know he had a lot more time invested in this thing than what he is going to get paid for.” -- R Roetman
Regarding a recent farm sale: “Thank you very much Darwin, this turned out even better than we anticipated! Very Much Appreciated!” -- Paige S. Gumm, Real Estate Property Manager-Trust Real Estate, UMB Bank

“Thank you both [Darwin Thue and Doug Bergemann] for doing a great job [farm sale]. I am extremely satisfied with the results. My best.” -- Doug H.

“Both Darwin and Eric [Skolness] were very good. We got more for the land than two local realtors said we could expect. A lot more!” -- K. Twait

Regarding a recent real estate sale: “On a scale of 1 to 10, definitely a 10! Patient and Understanding!” -- G & K Roggenbuck

“Darwin Thue is an exceptional guy and a credit to your company. He did a top-notch job of marketing and completing our sale.” -- Charles Parsons

“[He] told me he wasn’t sure after talking to all of us, but when he read the lease you sent him, he became confident management can be done. Thanks for all your help. To take away the burden is a huge relief to me and my family! Thank you!”

“Thank you, Darwin Thue, Farm Manager, explained what we needed! And Thank you to Sharon Jacobson [appraiser] - nice job!”

Darwin - Just received my copy of the Farmers National Company 2022 Annual Review. I came across the announcement that you were named FNC’s 2021 Real Estate Agent of the Year. CONGRATULATIONS! What an honor! The statement of Randy Dickhut in the announcement about your work ethic in the article is spot on----you do work hard to meet the needs of your clients, and you are well respected. There is one thing I would like you to promise me----that while my wife and I are alive you will not retire. Wanted you to know that we appreciate all that you do for us. I know it is your job, but I feel that you go the extra mile to see that we are protected and that you give 1,000%. Also, one more thing, and I do not say this very often, I trust you---you need to realize that lawyers do not make that kind of admission, except in very rare cases. From Oregon, David.
