Dedicated Real Estate Group representing Sellers and Buyers in the sale or purchase of real estate.

Selling a family farm out of a trust is three things at once: a price, a process, and a record. The price gets the attention on sale day. The record is what matters a year or two later, when a beneficiary asks whether the trustee sold too cheaply.

A traditional listing leaves a short record: a broker set a price and the estate took the best offer. An auction leaves a bidder log, a marketing file, and a soft-close record showing every qualified buyer in the country competing at once.

The Uniform Prudent Investor Act cares as much about process as price. A documented auction is becoming a prudent investor best practice for illiquid land, and that file is what we work to put in a trustee's hands.

The Bundle Event is built for a specific kind of property: a smaller tract that does not need a full, stand-alone campaign to reach its buyers. It needs a set date and the right audience.

Here is how it works. One flat fee starting at $895, no sales commission, and your property goes to market alongside others in a single coordinated push. A fixed cost, the reach of a larger sale, and a firm timeline, in one package.

With the summer bundle closed, we are taking properties for Fall 2026:
Considered through October 10
Bidding opens October 24
Bidding closes November 25
Closing by December 30

If you own a smaller tract you have been meaning to move, this sells it and closes it before year end. Call us and we will tell you plainly whether your property fits.

A traditional listing and an auction answer two different questions. If your question is "what's the most I can get, whenever it happens," a listing is a reasonable tool. If your question is "how do I have this sold and closed before December 31," a listing can't answer it at all.

An auction can, because it runs on a calendar you set.

Weeks 1–2 — agreement signed, price strategy set, photography shot.
Weeks 3–5 — marketing goes out wide, to qualified buyers locally and nationwide.
Sale day — buyers compete and you get one clear result.
About 30 days later — it closes and funds.

Three things happen at once in that structure. You get certainty on timing, which a listing never provides. You get reach, because the marketing goes to buyers who would never find your property otherwise. And you get competition, which is a different pricing mechanism than a single negotiation.

Sixty properties have sold through Trophy auctions this year.

If the end of the year is a real deadline for you, the calendar is the thing to work backward from. Let's put your dates on paper.

A lot of landowners have no idea the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has programs built specifically for private land. If you own ground in the Midwest, that is money and habitat you may be leaving on the table.

We sat down with a Wildlife Refuge Specialist to walk through what is actually available. The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, CRP and USDA cost-share, wetland restoration easements, and conservation easements that can lower your tax bill without taking land out of production.

If you care about your land and want it to work harder for you, this conversation is worth your time.

When a beneficiary asks, a year or two later, whether the trustee sold the family farm too cheaply, the answer depends entirely on how it was sold.

Under a traditional listing, the defense is that a broker set a price and the estate took the best offer. Under an auction, the defense is a bidder log, a marketing file, and a soft-close record showing every qualified buyer in the country competing at once.

The Uniform Prudent Investor Act cares as much about process as price. A documented auction is becoming a prudent investor best practice for illiquid land.

At Trophy, marketing is not an afterthought. It is how land finds its best buyer and its best price. The data backs it up: buyers start online, professional photography sells faster, and it shows up in the final number. That is why every Trophy listing gets real photography, aerial video, and targeted reach across the Midwest. Save this for later, and when you are ready to sell your ground, talk to a Trophy land specialist.
