I grew up in the Upstate, and land got into me early. My first cousins farm thousands of acres in Illinois, raising corn, soybeans and hogs, and they showed me what land can produce and what it means to a family. Today I know many of the families who've held land here for generations, and the builders and developers putting it to work. Most days you'll find me in my '03 Land Rover, out looking at land and picturing what it could become.
I played college golf at the University of Texas at Austin, and Texas taught me two things: how to wear boots, and how to pull myself up by them. When I came home, I traded the fairways for back roads.
Every tract has its own best use. One suits homes, another row crops, hunting, a horse farm or another fifty years in the family. Along the interstates, commercial and industrial users are paying the most per acre right now. I learn what a property can carry, then match it with the buyer it's right for.
Most of my clients come to me through someone they trust, and I take that seriously. Your business stays private until you say otherwise.
