Gill Land Company and County Road Auction & Sales have partnered to provide a full service option for farm and ranch clients. Gill Land Company, LLC serves the agricultural real estate needs of both buyers and sellers of farmland, pastureland and hunting land across South Dakota and North Dakota. County Road Auction & Sales specializes in equipment and personal property auctions, with over 40 years of experience.
“We both place a high value on doing the right thing and taking care of our customers,” says Kristen Gill, broker and owner of Gill Land Company, LLC. “Our goal is to make the selling process a smooth and positive experience for our clients, from beginning to end. This partnership will allow us to continue to do that on a broader range of services.”
According to Lee Wittmeier, owner of County Road Auction & Sales, “We are excited about this. With our equipment auction experience and Kristen’s land real estate experience, it really just makes sense to combine forces and leverage the expertise of each side to provide a full service option to both of our customers.”
The partnership will serve both companies’ clients well. Says Gill, “I often have Ag real estate clients who are considering selling their equipment. Now I have a resource I can direct those folks to that I trust will take care of them and do a good job for them. Likewise, Lee & Cheri sell equipment for customers that may have land to sell. They can be confident that I will sit down with those folks and talk through the options to help them determine the best approach for their specific situation and enable them to get the best results.”
