Client Comment(s): "Thank you for your professionalism in the successful auction of my property. I had researched other brokers and even had a failed auction with another local company. You and your staff were prompt and on the money. Results at the right price. That is what you produced in a timely manner. Thank you. Happy to recommend you to anyone seeking a farm sale." -- Richard Z.
"Since hiring Farmers National Company to assist me in the management of my farm, I have been able to decrease the amount of stress that comes with being an out-of-state land owner. I cannot emphasize enough how much relief from worry Monty Smith has brought to my life by helping me manage the blessing (farm) I inherited. I am now able to enjoy the history and the potential of the property. It has been my pleasure to work with Monty Smith and Farmers National Company." - Elizabeth Mills
"Just a short note of thanks for your leadership and efforts on the sale of our farm. It is our impression that you have a good team...you dealt with the farmers and both of us effectively throughout. Administration of these transactions were smooth and the terms we agreed to were fairly administered. We think that you did a particularly fine job of handling the existing tenants and the negotiations with them. This local knowledge and interpersonal skill is a strength...you were obviously capable and effective in getting the right buyers to the auction and produced an excellent result. Our best wishes to you for continued success in the future." - Tom and Rich Mistler
