"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.

"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 turns out they were right. Now our family is on good terms again. Their team is skilled, caring, and professional; we highly recommend them.
