What Our Clients Say

You work your entire adult life with an end game in mind for retirement and you don't want to make a mistake. You have been deciding exactly what game you want to pursue on "your" land and how to go about making that happen. Along the way the girls get married and you add two son-in-laws that both hunt. You are trying to plan a long term lasting "adventure" that will be a legacy for your family. I must have changed my mind a dozen times and I still did not know exactly what I wanted for sure.

Along comes Greg Liddle. He has the land that will supply multiple hunting adventures and the pictures and stories to back that claim up. There are Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Bear, Coyote, Mountain Lion, Turkey, Quail on the comeback, and if you like to fish for Koi, you have a pond full to test your skills! I have been in retail for 40 years. He seemed genuine, not slick, confident in his claim, and invited me to take a tour in February. Time to get serious.

Six inches of fresh snow on the ground, Greg met Mark and me at the airport in Trinidad. He was pulling a trailer with a 900 Ranger riding neatly on board. With a cup of fresh coffee and a roll in hand, we drove the 60 miles to the ranch. Now Greg had explained the ranch in detail and each mile we drove, I expected a dramatic change in the landscape. I was thinking that I may have made a mistake, not at all what I had envisioned. When we pulled into the ranch yard, I didn't have to spend much time there, I wasn't buying a house, even though the pole barn was fantastic, I was buying the adventure.

The tour proved to unlock all of the possibilities that Greg had explained. With the fresh snow, it was evident that the land held a population of Elk and Deer. Tracks were numerous and the cover the ranch provided made it easy to picture the hunting experience that it would provide. If there was a question that couldn't be answered I would have it by the time I returned home. Greg knew the ranch as well as if he owned it himself.

I could write pages on the follow-up Greg provided. The contacts the man has are amazing and he can recommend someone for every need you may have. It didn't matter if it was a lawyer, insurance, a fence man, or the best place to get a burger, he had it all. I can call him anytime and ask him a question and not only does it get answered, but it is done because he cares and not because he has to.

I am proud of my purchase and I can tell you that the three of us that hunted Elk the first year, all took nice bulls, our first bulls. I am also proud that I can call Greg Liddle my friend. I have and will continue to recommend Greg to anyone looking for property! Thanks Greg.

Jon and I would like to thank Justin Hertzel for his efficient and capable assistance in two recent property transactions. We started by searching online for properties in the Lincoln, NE area for our niece who was hoping to relocated here. We found some interesting listings and contacted Hayden Outdoors for more information. We were referred to Justin who contacted us the same day. To make a long story short, Justin helped us sell a small acreage we bought twenty years ago which enabled us to purchase a retirement property with a house and detached shop that we are very excited about. We love living in the country, and Justin has made our dream come true. To make the story end even better, Justin sold the adjoining farm property to our niece who will be moving here in the next few years. Not only do we have a comfortable, quiet new home in the country, but we will have family living next door to us! Justin was patient with our many questions, never pressured us, and never seemed in a hurry when showing us available properties. He is personable, knowledgeable, and a true professional. Thank you, Justin!!
~LeAnn and Jon Merth

When you are buying or selling property, please consider Justin Hertzel as your broker. This gentleman is efficient, intelligent, and has not only integrity but a very good grasp of the market. He professionally went beyond what was expected of him. He has worked with several family members on various properties, and is certainly successful at what he does. We are pleased to highly recommend Justin.

Justin Hertzel just helped me complete a sale and purchase of two properties in Nebraska. His knowledge of real estate values in different areas of the State combined with access to strong marketing support make him a real asset to anyone who needs help finding and selling property. He was responsive and reliable, both great assets in his business. Any future property transactions that I have in the Great State of Nebraska will have Justin’s name on the contract.

To Whom It May Concern:

Shad Sheldon acted as our real estate agent in selling our family farm. I found him to be reliable and responsible. Shad was quick to reply to any questions we had for him, explaining the process in a way that was easy to understand. I found his good-natured personality enjoyable and fun to work with. In addition, I appreciated his honesty; I felt like he had our back and closed the deal with professionalism and integrity. I would be delighted to work with him again.

Sincerely
Debi Hertert

My family has known Justin Hertzel since his high school days. In our minds, he has established himself as a person of high integrity, with strong family values, and with the motivation to get jobs done. So, when we started looking for Sandhills ranch property, Justin was the person we wanted on “our side,” representing us in the transaction and helping us evaluate various properties for possible purchase, revealing the pros and cons of each.

In retrospect, we got the process of finding the property and enacting the purchase done quite quickly, a reflection on both circumstances and availabilities and, particularly, Justin’s attention and service to our needs. Justin was right “by our side” as we waded through all the information gathering, the offer, and finally the closing. Yes, we celebrated with Justin when the deal was done!

The best way to complete my testimony is to answer the obvious question: Would I engage Justin Hertzel’s services again to be my representative in another real estate transaction? My answer, in less than a heartbeat, is a resounding “YES.”

Two Huge "Thumbs Up" for Greg Liddle

I've been a real estate attorney and very active real estate investor and developer for over thirty years. Over that period of time, I have worked with more real estate salespeople/brokers than I can even count -- both as a seller and as a buyer. My experience is that it's not easy to find a real estate broker who has the knowledge, background, personality and overall professional skill-set that can truly comprise a make-or-break a difference in bringing a transaction to a successful close. Greg Liddle brings all those talents to the table, and more.

I just closed on the sale of a large, multi-million dollar ranch property in New Mexico. The property was stunningly beautiful with many unique advantages -- not the least of which were 30 annual private elk permits -- but one that also presented unique challenges to its marketing. It was located a long distance from major metropolitan areas, it was priced higher than any other property in the area, and it was comprised of numerous parcels with different zoning and development potential. After having unsuccessfully listing the property for some time with a local broker, I engaged Greg. He and his company brought incredible world-wide marketing efforts to bear via phenomenal internet outreach, the most prestigious sportsman's trade shows, national print presence, etc. He also managed the elk tag permitting for the ranch while it was being marketed.

My ranch sale was by far the most challenging, complicated transaction to which I have ever been a party. That closing would never have happened if not for Greg. To add to the complication, our deal even involved the sale of unrelated properties with multiple sellers. Through it all, Greg worked
with all the parties involved, and helped me navigate successfully through numerous potential land mines that would most likely have sabotaged the transaction in lesser-skilled hands. He worked closely and informatively with the buyer and buyer's attorney. He stayed on top of the transaction from beginning to end, keeping everyone fully-informed every step of the way. His attention to detail and consistent positive attitude were critical throughout.

Finally, and by far my most valuable take-away from the entire experience, is that I have made a life-long friend. Greg is not only a true real estate professional, he's a genuinely great guy, with a contagiously-upbeat and winning personality. If you want the best of the best, I could not recommend anyone more than Greg Liddle.

To Whom it May Concern:

I had my property, seventy-four acres and a custom built house, on the market for a year and a half with no serious response. A chance meeting introduced me to Hayden Outdoors and Greg Liddle. Greg did a thorough vetting of the property and placed it on the Hayden Internet site. Within a month it was sold and I was on the way to a new home.

Greg was more helpful and responsive than any real estate agent I have ever experienced in the past. His attention to detail and immediate response to my questions made the entire transaction extremely easy --- and surprisingly rapid. Anyone who has outdoor activities in mind will find an extensive listing at Hayden Outdoors and anyone who has that sort of property to sell will find an energetic agent in Hayden Outdoors and Greg Liddle. I recommend both without reservation.

Yours truly,

Richard H. Andrew

We, Dale Christensen and Patricia Raih, had previously listed our cabin and property with another realtor for 4 or more years of wasted time in Colorado, when Lisa Frank and Twila Geroux came in the picture from Hayden Outdoors. Lisa and Twila went the extra mile and sold the property with in 3 months. Their expertise was phenomenal, I would recommended them on any persons property they have for sale. We are listing the rest of our property with them.
