Whitaker Marketing Group ranks among the top farmland companies in Iowa by total volume of farmland sold.
How to Choose the Best Farmland Company
Choosing an auction company to sell your land is a major decision—and one you only get to make once. For many families, selling farmland is the largest financial transaction they will ever complete.
At Whitaker Marketing Group, our goal is to make that decision easier. While many companies operate in similar ways on the surface, the results can be very different. Knowing what to look for is critical.
9 Reasons to Choose the Best Farmland Company
Professionalism
Professionalism in farmland sales starts with listening. We work closely with the families we represent to understand their goals and guide them through the process. Everything we do aligns with our mission: marketing your assets to the largest audience while achieving the strongest possible outcome.
Specialized Agricultural Resources
Because we specialize in agricultural assets, we bring resources that general auction companies cannot. These include affiliations with professional organizations such as the Realtors Land Institute,
auctioneer associations, and agricultural groups like the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association.
Our relationships with agricultural attorneys, closing companies, and lending institutions across Iowa provide unique advantages. Combined with our Midwest-wide network of agents and auctioneers, these connections help deliver stronger results for sellers.
Experienced Farmland Team
Every member of our team is involved in agriculture. We intentionally remain small but highly skilled so our clients never feel like a number. Our focus is on telling your family’s story while applying the highest industry training and designations available.
It takes more than one person to successfully sell a farm—and our team approach proves it.
Proven Experience
The auction industry follows the 80/20 rule: 80% of auctions are conducted by 20% of auction companies. Many auctioneers operate at a hobby level, conducting only one to five auctions per year.
Whitaker Marketing Group conducts auctions consistently and is often booked months in advance. Our repeat sellers across Iowa trust us because we bring experience, consistency, and a track record of strong outcomes.
Award-Winning Marketing System
Marketing systems can be difficult to compare, and some are overstated. Our system is proven.
Whitaker Marketing Group has earned multiple national marketing awards and operates one of the most comprehensive farmland marketing systems in the Midwest. Our strategy combines cutting-edge digital technology with proven traditional advertising, including signage, mailers, print, radio, and on-site promotion.
Every component works together to reach the right buyers quickly and effectively.
Trusted References
We have sold farmland for private sellers, estates, land brokers, and even other auctioneers. We are happy to provide references so you can speak directly with sellers about their experience and results.
Buyer Reach & Participation
Exposure matters. Participation matters more.
We offer multiple bidding options, including live, online, and hybrid auctions. These formats consistently drive higher participation and stronger sale prices. Our bidding technology expands access while maintaining transparency and trust.
