My husband and I were very pleased with how much time, energy and effort Chris and Lauren put into making our online auction such a great success. They worked tirelessly to get us the best possible price. They both worked hard to leave no stone unturned. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Our online auction went above our expectations…

My experience with this virtual on-line auction, I had a great experience with it.  The instructions were clear and bidding was straight forward and not complicated like other sites.   The website was very well laid out and easy to understand.  Thank you for the wonderful experience and I hope I see more sites like this.

Working with Chris and Lauren…

“I highly recommend that any family farm businesses consider in their long term planning the value of having decided ahead to consult with the Halderman team. When a widow or an heir becomes responsible for farming operations, upon the death or disability of the primary farmer, it is of utmost concern to transition the enormous job of running the farm…

“My association with Jim Clark for more than a decade has been one of complete confidence and trust. He has developed strong and fair relationships with the farmers who work our land and encouraged forward looking agricultural practices. Jim is always willing to keep me up-to-date on progress or problems during the growing season. And he works hard at developing…

Thank you Larry!! And a HUGE congratulations to you too! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your timely, responsive, and thoughtful communications. Your insight on all aspects was invaluable. You were a tremendous support throughout the entire process. Thank you to you and your whole Halderman Team.

“The Clark-Russell Farms LP partners have a history of farming but lacked the updated farm knowledge and technology. Halderman Farm Managers have met our requirements with their agriculture degrees and experience in farming and technical knowledge, with grain marketing, soil testing, farm leases. All of our Farm Managers are very professional and trustworthy. With Halderman’s farm managers we have raised…

“I would like to thank you and the Halderman staff for the thorough and professional handling of our recent land auction.”

“I appreciate all that you did regarding my mom and dad’s farm. Your team was very professional and “Top-Notch” all the way through the process.”

“In September 2007, we listed our farm for sale with Todd Litten. We had talked to several other companies before talking with Todd. We tossed around several options with other companies, but never felt comfortable about any of them. Within 10 minutes after Todd left that evening, we knew we were going to list our farm with Halderman. Todd listened…

How often nowadays can one say that they got better service then they ever imagined.  The converse is usually the norm in which we often are disappointed in how a company performs for us.  It is even more surprising to get such good service when you haven’t had any previous experience with the company.

Halderman was recommended to me by…

We want to thank all of you for the excellent job that you did for our Ellaman Family Farm auction.  We placed our confidence in you and you delivered! We know that the rescheduling of the date caused a lot of extra effort on your part.  We are very happy with the results.  Thank you.

“As you know, I researched several real estate firms in Indiana before choosing you and to sell and market our farm, and I have no regrets whatsoever.”

When “shopping around” for a Real Estate Agent to sell my recently inherited farmland, I contacted Rick Johnloz of Halderman Real Estate & Farm Management. Rick made a strong first impression. Even though the appointment was made a little more than 48 hours earlier, Rick came fully prepared to the interview having researched the details of the tracts to be…

Mr. Karst: I recently attended one of your auctions and I just want say how impressed I was with the way your company handled the auction.  There were multiple tracts which could be combined into many different possibilities for purchase as well as buying the property in its entirety.  I always knew exactly where the bids were, who as in the…

As personal representatives of the Estate of Eugene R. Carroll, we were faced with the task of selling his real estate property and auctioning of personal property.

Thank you, Dave… and please thank Michael as well.

You and your son have been such a great help to my family… We need more of you in our country… people with integrity and honesty.

John Martin

I just signed the two hunting leases for this year, Colten, and I want to thank you for your diligent and professional completion of these and the farmland agreements for the coming year.  It’s been a pleasure to work with you, and I am pleased with the 58% increase in income compared to my previous leasing arrangement!

I really appreciate your efforts, and I…

“I want to personally thank everyone at Halderman Farm Management for the wonderful service that was performed for my Mother on the home farms at Cambridge City over the past several years. After being involved many years ago with your company, only I know the time and efforts that were put forth to provide a profitable income from the properties…

“We could not be more satisfied with Dave Bonnell’s farm management, he is TOPS! We have had two managers in 44 years with Halderman’s and have always been satisfied with their services. I would recommend their services to any farm owner!”

Gary was excellent at keeping me informed of the plans for the online auction.  I received emails weekly once the auction time got close.  He spoke to area farmers placed signs and put auction information several places as well as in all area newspapers.

I was initially hesitant about on line sale but the flu virus forced our hand and…

Gary – Without your dedicated team members and relentless attention to details none of this would have happened.  The marketing/sale materials were spot on from the beginning – all of which were clear and to the point.  The advertising campaign was on target and even reigned us/me in on a few points.  The boots on the ground approach was simply amazing.…

Chris, AJ and Lauren,

Just wanted to pause for a moment and say THANK YOU for a job well done on the Selma auction.  I’m obviously happy with the result, but just as important, the manner in which you handled the process leading up to the auction was exceptional.

Thanks again for your partnership.  And again, well done.

All the…

Dear Julie,
I just want you to know what a pleasure it has been to work with you on the selling of our parent’s farm. You made it so easy with your expertise in the area of farmland values and knowing local farmers personally. You told us what a fair price range would be for the land at step…

I want to let you know that the Tyler Reiger was wonderful. He was highly professional, courteous, detailed and conscientious. I was very impressed with every aspect that was included in the appraisal. I have not been involved in the farm appraisal prior to this, and I believe I would have a difficult time finding a match to the quality…

I would like to thank Todd Litten and Dave Bonnell for a great job with the sale of my parents’ farm. They were wonderful to work with–experienced, professional, and organized. I would recommend Halderman’s without hesitation.

“The presentation was excellent. You guys didn’t push anything on us; you just told us how the company runs the sales and business. I was extremely pleased with the presentation. Pat, Gary, and John were very nice to talk to. From there, the whole process, with the every Friday phone calls, all questions were answered truthfully, and I couldn’t be…

The Pences and Clarks…generations helping generations!

I remember seeing Jim Clark in my Dad’s home office, sitting side-by-side with him, looking at plat books, working the calculator, looking at reports, listening to phone calls and participating in owner and farmer meetings.  My Dad, Hugh Pence, was a Halderman fieldman for over 60+ years, and served as Jim’s mentor and helped…

“Now that the transaction has closed and we received the funds, I want to thank A.J. Jordan for his efforts. His performance was great, and the sale price greatly exceeded my expectations. Thanks again. It was a pleasure to do business with you.”

Dear Gary, I want to thank you for your incredible hard work on our behalf to successfully sell our Conrad Family Farm. I feel your personal connections with the “locals” in the Darlington area created…and nurtured the interest and trust that made the sale possible. I also sincerely appreciated your openness and honesty with us at all times. You are…

“Halderman sold our family farm for my siblings and me and kept us informed every step of the way. We weren’t sure where to begin with selling our farm, but Julie took the time to talk with my siblings and me, and we all felt we could trust her and her team with the auction. From answering our questions to…

The marketing plan was very well done, (on budget!) and the management of the inquires by potential buyers was professionally handled, including the scheduling of the open houses and the video of the property. The sales event was coordinated by Halderman to an exact degree and the auction was run in an excellent manner. The property sold in the range…

Please convey my thanks to Mr. Rosen for a prompt response to my appraisal request.  He should also be commended for the very professional job on the appraisal that I received.

“Gary, I just wanted to compliment you on your land auction for Lewis Smith. You handled it with the usual professionalism we received with your involvement with my Mom’s estate.  Thank you for all you have done, and what I know you have yet to do. Wishing you continuing success and the best to you and your family during the upcoming holidays.”

I wasn’t ready to sell our family farm since my dad had only passed in Jan 2021. But taking care of all the responsibilities without having a family connection to it was not what I wanted. I have heard of Halderman and the good work you have done for many years, and am very fond of the Larry Jordan family.…

Thank you for your expertise in guiding Wilson Farms from a proposal through today’s 1031 transaction. There are very few advisors that I really trust, Clarks being at the top of the list. Every “T“ crossed, “I” dotted and always with friendliness and patience.

A thousand thanks,

Daniel

Just as we have long trusted Halderman to manage our family farms, we entrusted Halderman and Craig Springmier specifically with handling a recent farm sale. Not only was the sale successful beyond our wildest expectations but the entire process was handled expertly with white-glove service from beginning to end. We are privileged to know Craig and have Halderman as our…

Jon and the Halderman Group,

Thank you for all the hard work you did to ensure a successful outcome for the sale of our mother’s properties.  Our mother would and is proud of the legacy she left her children, grand, great-grand, and great-great-grandchildren.

Blessings to you all!

Nancy VanderWoude

“We are pleased to provide this letter of recommendation on behalf of Christopher C. Peacock and his colleagues at Halderman Real Estate Services.

We retained Halderman in January 2014 to auction two tracts of farm land that were part of our late mother’s estate.  With Chris as our Halderman representative, the process ran smoothly and professionally from beginning to end.…

Chris and Lauren are outstanding real estate professionals who have exceptional knowledge, excellent follow up and superior customer service. I would recommend them to anyone.
The online auction platform is great and I would definitely use it again.

Betsy Martin

“Our extended family has used Haldermans for consultation and management services for nearly half a century. For me personally, Bill Earle managed our farm for twenty years and when appropriate brokered its sale. Our most recent farm sale, managed by Bill and Jon Rosen, generated much interest and higher sale prices than comparable sales. Without exception, I am pleased to recommend…

I have worked with several realtors in many states over my lifetime. Some good and some not so good. But I have to say, working with the Peacock team, Chris and Lauren, has been an amazing experience for me. I had never met them before, but it didn’t take but a few minutes to feel comfortable with them and I…

In a nutshell, she was great to work with! We initially discussed my family’s needs for an appraisal over the phone. Emily clearly communicated our options and quickly understood our needs for a short-form appraisal with significant cost savings. Another appraisal company we talked to only gave us the option of a full appraisal along with a very high…

Larry,

Thank you so much for all your efforts in selling the farm. It’s bittersweet for all of us kids ( well, former kids) who had the incredible opportunity to grow up with probably one of the last working farms in the area.  The history of the Replogle farm is an important part of our adult identities, which the three…

“You had a great sale.  Very professionally run and very clear to all.  I will happily recommend your services to clients in the future.
I went on line last night to watch the video that you put together on the Eva Smith farm—it was excellent.  It gave buyers a very good feel for the site and the land. Thanks…

“At this time, I wish to congratulate you (Jim Hanna) and the entire staff of Halderman Real Estate Services for the outstanding professional services you have rendered in the successful completion of the Walker Estate Ohio farm property sales!”

“Your professionalism, promptness, diligence, competence and many courtesies were not only greatly appreciated but made working with you and your firm through…

“When my tenant of 40-plus years died suddenly in 2002 almost simultaneously with the retirement of my trust officer, I needed help. The successor trust officer was not equal to the job and while I had had a hand in the farm operations for the better part of 30 years, I was living much farther away now so this was…

When our father passed away in March, we were a bit lost and confused on what to do next.  With advise and conversation from our professional team of advisors, we were able to put a plan in place that was acceptable to my three sisters and myself.  An important part of that team was Halderman Real Estate and Larry Jordan.

I would like to thank the Halderman firm for the appraisal of our family farm located in Montgomery County, IN. After researching my local area for appraisers, I decided that Halderman was the superior choice. Your firm had the expertise in appraising, managing, and in-depth knowledge of farms in my local area.

It was a pleasure to meet personally with…

Gary’s initial explanation of the process was amazingly accurate to the sale process.  He was also very responsive and patient with our questions throughout the process.  The updates helped keep us informed.  The numerical data in the updates were easy to understand.

We were impressed with the utilization of different publications, direct contacts Gary and the team made with potential…

“We would like to thank Halderman Real Estate and Jon Rosen for helping us purchase our farm acreage. They knew the right people to contact and had the proper paperwork to make the closing go smooth. Thanks again Jon, we would definitely ask for your services again.”

I would like to thank Halderman Real Estate and especially representatives, Jim and Sam Clark for their dedication and hard work in making our farm sale at auction a success. We are very pleased with how everything turned out.

When faced with the decision to sell the farm, I wanted help as I do not have an agricultural background and…

I recently had the pleasure of working with Larry Smith at Halderman Real Estate to sell my family-owned
farmland. I met with agents from several real estate companies. Larry’s professionalism,
knowledge of the farmland market, especially in the area surrounding our land, his knowledge of
auctions, and years of experience became readily apparent. Choosing Larry and Halderman…

“You provided us with honest and realistic information as to what we might expect and you were always a step ahead of any questions that I may have had.”

Dear Rusty,
Gosh, where to begin. First, Teresa and I would like to express our profound thanks for a “job well done” in the sale of her parent’s home of 70+ years in Rushville. We were so fortunate to secure your agency in the sale in no small measure due to the sale of a home and auction you…

“David (Bonnell) and Todd (Litten) were wonderful to work with, they went above and beyond. I can’t say enough good things about Todd and David. The whole staff was very professional.”

“Please extend our thanks to Jim Clark and to all the other good folks in the Halderman organization who helped with the sale of our farm this past summer. You did the same great job this summer that you did in 2000 when you sold the north part of our farm – so I know it is professional ability, and…

Larry and Julie, Many thanks to you both for all your efforts in promoting the sale of the property. I know all the staff members worked very hard last night at the auction and that did not go unnoticed.  Thanks again.

“I am writing this letter to advise you of the outstanding efforts that Dave Bonnell put forth in handling the sale of property in Bartholomew County that my brother and I inherited from our mother. The entire process was very complicated and compounded by the fact that my brother lives in Chicago and I live in Kentucky. Dave, however, worked…

We selected Halderman Real Estate Services/Craig Springmier and Rusty Harmeyer as a result of the existing relationship and our faith in the team. We elected to do the auction platform essentially for political purposes given we are such a large employer in Wayne Co. We didn’t want to appear to play favorites and we wanted to maximize the proceeds to…

“We would like to thank Jaret Wicker, Sam Clark, Jim Clark, and everyone that was involved in the sale of our farm. They were excellent in their professionalism, knowledge, and communications. We highly recommend Halderman to anyone in need of their services. They are a great group to work with.”

Thank you,

Martin and Linda Hanson

I thought the bidding was very user friendly, real easy to get set up. We were very happy with how smooth it all worked. I think it would be good to have a confirm bid button pop up with the bid amount that you are about to bid before you bid just as a double check. I liked the Facebook…

My husband and I were very pleased with how much time, energy and effort Chris and Lauren put into making our online auction such a great success. They worked tirelessly to get us the best possible price. They both worked hard to leave no stone unturned. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Our online auction went above our expectations…
