Although it was not easy, his patience, understanding, compassion, and expertise gave us the confidence that it would be done fairly, and it was. I had never been to an auction and did not know the work involved in putting it all together. He always made himself available to give me advice and encouragement when I called. Mark was always open and honest in explaining the next steps. On the day of the auction, it was a cold day and Mark came and sat with me in the car before it started. His words brought peace to stressful me.

Receiving pressure from family to sell, I needed to educate myself on what selling farmland in South Dakota was all about. Mark had the utmost integrity and was very compassionate about my situation. He was very patient and explained to me in detail the steps and requirements that would be necessary to initiate and complete an auction that included 5 different people from 5 different states. It was very clear that Mark and his company have the pulse of the market in the Alcester area. Even on the day of the auction, Mark was very knowledgeable as to who was interested in the property\u00a0 and what he thought it would sell for. Mark was always available when I needed to contact him. He was always compassionate, taking the pressure off me with my family and successfully executed the sale of the land. I can&#8217;t recommend anyone more. Even the day of the auction, people that I spoke with commented on how I had the right decision to use Mark and had chosen the &#8220;Very Best&#8221;., Everyone I spoke to had nothing but praise and respect for Mark and everyone associated with his Company.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-154581\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Sandy&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Sandy<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial excerpt t-slide post-64701\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\"  class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content  testimonial-content\"><div class=\"readmore-excerpt animated \"><div style=\"display:inline;\">Once the dust settled after our mother passed away in the early spring of 2012, the question was asked of us, &#8220;are you going to sell the farm or keep it?

Our first thoughts were to keep it of course, but after some careful soul searching within our family, the decision was made to sell. We had made a couple of appointments with auctioneer\/realtors, but after our first meeting with Mark and Darrell, it was very clear that these were the guys to work with. They were no pressure, but also no-nonsense people who were very sensitive to our recent loss, but also very honest with their thoughts and opinions. To say they under-promised and over-delivered and over-achieved would be a huge understatement. They were very professional in the process, but also very compassionate to our thoughts and feelings. The work they did behind the scenes was incredible and thorough. They have a huge following of potential buyers and work very hard to bring them to the table. I wouldn&#8217;t think of going anywhere else for an auctioneer in our general geographic area.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-64701\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Donnie Miller for the family of Donna Miller&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Donnie Miller for the family of Donna Miller<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial excerpt t-slide post-64696\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\"  class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content  testimonial-content\"><div class=\"readmore-excerpt animated \"><div style=\"display:inline;\">After our dear mother passed away we knew eventually our brother\u2019s lease on our farm would end.

This farm was in our family for at least a hundred years and it was so hard to let it go. We visited with two other auctioneers and after interviewing Mark Zomer, we knew he was the right person for us. He understood what we were going through and how difficult it was for us. He handled all our questions and concerns with compassion and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Mark took over the reins and made suggestions to have several things done that we would have never thought of, did all the advertising, drone flyovers of the land, made sale booklets, took the abstracts to Orange City and so many other things.<br \/>\nHe was available at all times to talk with us or take potential buyers out to the farm. He gave up so much of his own family time to make sure that the sale would go smoothly and for that, we can&#8217;t thanks him enough. Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, so all of this was handled teleconferences. My sister and I decided to personally meet and visit with Mark a few weeks before the sale and he spent an entire afternoon with us. We went through all the things he had done and then he took us on a tour of the farm and the surrounding area that brought back many great memories. The sale went extremely well and we had a wonderful turnout. If you ever need an auctioneer that goes above and beyond for their clients, then Mark Zomer and his staff are the ones for you. Mark is the best in our books and we would never hesitate to hire him again if needed.

Our sincere thanks to Mark, Ryan, Karla, Gary and Darrell for walking with us every step of the way.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-64712\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Joe Skoda, US Postmaster, Rock Valley (retired)&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Joe Skoda, US Postmaster, Rock Valley (Retired)<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial excerpt t-slide post-64728\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\"  class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content  testimonial-content\"><div class=\"readmore-excerpt animated \"><div style=\"display:inline;\">I knew Mark Zomer was a great guy because my Dad, Harold De Graaff regarded him so highly.

But I had never before witnessed his expertise in the auction world. It was inevitable to my brothers and me that we would have to sell, but it was not obvious to me who we would go with to sell the land. After Mother passed away, I had no clue what do but my parents Trust advisor told me in no uncertain terms &#8220;The only way to go is to go with Mark Zomer and an auction. He is the BEST.&#8221; Then when my brothers arrived and we met with my parent&#8217;s lawyer, he said in no uncertain terms &#8220;In this area, you need to have an auction and get Mark Zomer \u2013 He&#8217;s the best, highly regarded throughout the midwest, and the most respected locally.&#8221; So my brothers and I set up a visit with Mark. We had a very very short window of time to work with and many decisions to make. In a very short time, Mark and his team had put together packets for each of us showing us the land quality, assuring us they knew it would go well as the land had been in the family for centuries with the original name on the abstract being Ulysses S. Grant.<br \/>\nMark showed us other details about our farmland including how well the land had been cared for. Mark knew all of that.. then he told us about the opportune time to sell and still give adequate time to show proper respect to mother&#8217;s passing&#8230; We discussed our own time constraints and Mark listened. It became VERY CLEAR to my brothers and me that we wanted Mark Zomer to do the auction&#8230; the decision was unanimous. It was not shy of a miracle that we had attained the services of &#8220;THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS&#8221; in a relatively short amount of time. Mark Zomer is genuine, kind, friendly, considerate, informative, caring to the nth degree, available, is an excellent auctioneer, does high-quality work, professional in doing meticulous paperwork even at the high-stress time of sale \u2013 double checks his work, with everything done decently and in order. My brothers and I are so thankful to Mark Zomer for his outstanding service and professionalism in honoring the De Graaff family and the land as it was presented for auction that day. We have no question that we did the right thing and went with the right guy.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-64728\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Sharla Brammer&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Sharla Brammer<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial excerpt t-slide post-96722\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\"  class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content  testimonial-content\"><div class=\"readmore-excerpt animated \"><div style=\"display:inline;\">Making the decision to sell two Iowa farm parcels took many months.

This farm was in our family for at least a hundred years and it was so hard to let it go. We visited with two other auctioneers and after interviewing Mark Zomer, we knew he was the right person for us. He understood what we were going through and how difficult it was for us. He handled all our questions and concerns with compassion and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Mark took over the reins and made suggestions to have several things done that we would have never thought of, did all the advertising, drone flyovers of the land, made sale booklets, took the abstracts to Orange City and so many other things.<br \/>\nHe was available at all times to talk with us or take potential buyers out to the farm. He gave up so much of his own family time to make sure that the sale would go smoothly and for that, we can&#8217;t thanks him enough. Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, so all of this was handled teleconferences. My sister and I decided to personally meet and visit with Mark a few weeks before the sale and he spent an entire afternoon with us. We went through all the things he had done and then he took us on a tour of the farm and the surrounding area that brought back many great memories. The sale went extremely well and we had a wonderful turnout. If you ever need an auctioneer that goes above and beyond for their clients, then Mark Zomer and his staff are the ones for you. Mark is the best in our books and we would never hesitate to hire him again if needed.

With these improvements, Mark told me I would increase the value of the land and increase the productivity of the land which would increase the revenue.

We had made a couple of appointments with auctioneer\/realtors, but after our first meeting with Mark and Darrell, it was very clear that these were the guys to work with. They were no pressure, but also no-nonsense people who were very sensitive to our recent loss, but also very honest with their thoughts and opinions. To say they under-promised and over-delivered and over-achieved would be a huge understatement. They were very professional in the process, but also very compassionate to our thoughts and feelings. The work they did behind the scenes was incredible and thorough. They have a huge following of potential buyers and work very hard to bring them to the table.

After Mother passed away, I had no clue what do but my parents Trust advisor told me in no uncertain terms &#8220;The only way to go is to go with Mark Zomer and an auction. He is the BEST.&#8221; Then when my brothers arrived and we met with my parent&#8217;s lawyer, he said in no uncertain terms &#8220;In this area, you need to have an auction and get Mark Zomer \u2013 He&#8217;s the best, highly regarded throughout the midwest, and the most respected locally.&#8221; So my brothers and I set up a visit with Mark. We had a very very short window of time to work with and many decisions to make. In a very short time, Mark and his team had put together packets for each of us showing us the land quality, assuring us they knew it would go well as the land had been in the family for centuries with the original name on the abstract being Ulysses S. Grant.<br \/>\nMark showed us other details about our farmland including how well the land had been cared for. Mark knew all of that.. then he told us about the opportune time to sell and still give adequate time to show proper respect to mother&#8217;s passing&#8230; We discussed our own time constraints and Mark listened. It became VERY CLEAR to my brothers and me that we wanted Mark Zomer to do the auction&#8230; the decision was unanimous. It was not shy of a miracle that we had attained the services of &#8220;THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS&#8221; in a relatively short amount of time. Mark Zomer is genuine, kind, friendly, considerate, informative, caring to the nth degree, available, is an excellent auctioneer, does high-quality work, professional in doing meticulous paperwork even at the high-stress time of sale \u2013 double checks his work, with everything done decently and in order.

This farm was in our family for at least a hundred years and it was so hard to let it go. We visited with two other auctioneers and after interviewing Mark Zomer, we knew he was the right person for us. He understood what we were going through and how difficult it was for us. He handled all our questions and concerns with compassion and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Mark took over the reins and made suggestions to have several things done that we would have never thought of, did all the advertising, drone flyovers of the land, made sale booklets, took the abstracts to Orange City and so many other things.<br \/>\nHe was available at all times to talk with us or take potential buyers out to the farm. He gave up so much of his own family time to make sure that the sale would go smoothly and for that, we can&#8217;t thanks him enough. Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, so all of this was handled teleconferences. My sister and I decided to personally meet and visit with Mark a few weeks before the sale and he spent an entire afternoon with us. We went through all the things he had done and then he took us on a tour of the farm and the surrounding area that brought back many great memories. The sale went extremely well and we had a wonderful turnout. If you ever need an auctioneer that goes above and beyond for their clients, then Mark Zomer and his staff are the ones for you. Mark is the best in our books and we would never hesitate to hire him again if needed.

They were no pressure, but also no-nonsense people who were very sensitive to our recent loss, but also very honest with their thoughts and opinions. To say they under-promised and over-delivered and over-achieved would be a huge understatement. They were very professional in the process, but also very compassionate to our thoughts and feelings.

But I had never before witnessed his expertise in the auction world. It was inevitable to my brothers and me that we would have to sell, but it was not obvious to me who we would go with to sell the land. After Mother passed away, I had no clue what do but my parents Trust advisor told me in no uncertain terms &#8220;The only way to go is to go with Mark Zomer and an auction. He is the BEST.&#8221; Then when my brothers arrived and we met with my parent&#8217;s lawyer, he said in no uncertain terms &#8220;In this area, you need to have an auction and get Mark Zomer \u2013 He&#8217;s the best, highly regarded throughout the midwest, and the most respected locally.&#8221; So my brothers and I set up a visit with Mark. We had a very very short window of time to work with and many decisions to make. In a very short time, Mark and his team had put together packets for each of us showing us the land quality, assuring us they knew it would go well as the land had been in the family for centuries with the original name on the abstract being Ulysses S. Grant.<br \/>\nMark showed us other details about our farmland including how well the land had been cared for. Mark knew all of that.. then he told us about the opportune time to sell and still give adequate time to show proper respect to mother&#8217;s passing&#8230; We discussed our own time constraints and Mark listened. It became VERY CLEAR to my brothers and me that we wanted Mark Zomer to do the auction&#8230; the decision was unanimous. It was not shy of a miracle that we had attained the services of &#8220;THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS&#8221; in a relatively short amount of time. Mark Zomer is genuine, kind, friendly, considerate, informative, caring to the nth degree, available, is an excellent auctioneer, does high-quality work, professional in doing meticulous paperwork even at the high-stress time of sale \u2013 double checks his work, with everything done decently and in order. My brothers and I are so thankful to Mark Zomer for his outstanding service and professionalism in honoring the De Graaff family and the land as it was presented for auction that day. We have no question that we did the right thing and went with the right guy.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-64728\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Sharla Brammer&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Sharla Brammer<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial excerpt t-slide post-64696\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\"  class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content  testimonial-content\"><div class=\"readmore-excerpt animated \"><div style=\"display:inline;\">After our dear mother passed away we knew eventually our brother\u2019s lease on our farm would end.

The trustees were advised by our lawyer that Zomer Company were the BEST and an interview with Mark was set up. He explained things so very clearly. The trustees hired him. The day arrived,( with bitter-sweet feelings) us girls had never been to a land auction before. Mark greeted us and introduced us to his staff.

It was very clear that Mark and his company have the pulse of the market in the Alcester area. Even on the day of the auction, Mark was very knowledgeable as to who was interested in the property\u00a0 and what he thought it would sell for. Mark was always available when I needed to contact him. He was always compassionate, taking the pressure off me with my family and successfully executed the sale of the land. I can&#8217;t recommend anyone more.

Through the efforts of Gary and Ryan, our former house was sold before they could put up a \u201cFor Sale\u201d sign. We are very pleased with the courteous and professional way the team worked to accomplish our goals, both in these two transactions and in our prior dealings with them. They truly follow their motto \u2018Where we work for you\u201d!

This farm was in our family for at least a hundred years and it was so hard to let it go. We visited with two other auctioneers and after interviewing Mark Zomer, we knew he was the right person for us. He understood what we were going through and how difficult it was for us. He handled all our questions and concerns with compassion and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Mark took over the reins and made suggestions to have several things done that we would have never thought of, did all the advertising, drone flyovers of the land, made sale booklets, took the abstracts to Orange City and so many other things.<br \/>\nHe was available at all times to talk with us or take potential buyers out to the farm. He gave up so much of his own family time to make sure that the sale would go smoothly and for that, we can&#8217;t thanks him enough. Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, so all of this was handled teleconferences. My sister and I decided to personally meet and visit with Mark a few weeks before the sale and he spent an entire afternoon with us. We went through all the things he had done and then he took us on a tour of the farm and the surrounding area that brought back many great memories. The sale went extremely well and we had a wonderful turnout. If you ever need an auctioneer that goes above and beyond for their clients, then Mark Zomer and his staff are the ones for you. Mark is the best in our books and we would never hesitate to hire him again if needed.

We had made a couple of appointments with auctioneer\/realtors, but after our first meeting with Mark and Darrell, it was very clear that these were the guys to work with. They were no pressure, but also no-nonsense people who were very sensitive to our recent loss, but also very honest with their thoughts and opinions. To say they under-promised and over-delivered and over-achieved would be a huge understatement. They were very professional in the process, but also very compassionate to our thoughts and feelings. The work they did behind the scenes was incredible and thorough. They have a huge following of potential buyers and work very hard to bring them to the table.

But I had never before witnessed his expertise in the auction world. It was inevitable to my brothers and me that we would have to sell, but it was not obvious to me who we would go with to sell the land. After Mother passed away, I had no clue what do but my parents Trust advisor told me in no uncertain terms &#8220;The only way to go is to go with Mark Zomer and an auction. He is the BEST.&#8221; Then when my brothers arrived and we met with my parent&#8217;s lawyer, he said in no uncertain terms &#8220;In this area, you need to have an auction and get Mark Zomer \u2013 He&#8217;s the best, highly regarded throughout the midwest, and the most respected locally.&#8221; So my brothers and I set up a visit with Mark. We had a very very short window of time to work with and many decisions to make. In a very short time, Mark and his team had put together packets for each of us showing us the land quality, assuring us they knew it would go well as the land had been in the family for centuries with the original name on the abstract being Ulysses S. Grant.<br \/>\nMark showed us other details about our farmland including how well the land had been cared for. Mark knew all of that.. then he told us about the opportune time to sell and still give adequate time to show proper respect to mother&#8217;s passing&#8230; We discussed our own time constraints and Mark listened. It became VERY CLEAR to my brothers and me that we wanted Mark Zomer to do the auction&#8230; the decision was unanimous. It was not shy of a miracle that we had attained the services of &#8220;THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS&#8221; in a relatively short amount of time. Mark Zomer is genuine, kind, friendly, considerate, informative, caring to the nth degree, available, is an excellent auctioneer, does high-quality work, professional in doing meticulous paperwork even at the high-stress time of sale \u2013 double checks his work, with everything done decently and in order. My brothers and I are so thankful to Mark Zomer for his outstanding service and professionalism in honoring the De Graaff family and the land as it was presented for auction that day. We have no question that we did the right thing and went with the right guy.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-64728\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Sharla Brammer&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Sharla Brammer<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=\"vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-xs-12\"][vc_column_text]<div class=\"strong-view strong-view-id-5 modern wpmtst-modern slider-container slider-mode-horizontal slider-adaptive controls-style-buttons3 nav-position-outside\" data-count=\"29\" data-slider-var=\"strong_slider_id_5\" data-state=\"idle\"><div class=\"strong-content wpmslider-content\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial excerpt t-slide post-64713\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\"  class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content  testimonial-content\"><div class=\"readmore-excerpt animated \"><div style=\"display:inline;\">It was a difficult decision to sell a parcel of our farmland since it has been in my wife&#8217;s family for over a hundred years.

Our first thoughts were to keep it of course, but after some careful soul searching within our family, the decision was made to sell. We had made a couple of appointments with auctioneer\/realtors, but after our first meeting with Mark and Darrell, it was very clear that these were the guys to work with. They were no pressure, but also no-nonsense people who were very sensitive to our recent loss, but also very honest with their thoughts and opinions. To say they under-promised and over-delivered and over-achieved would be a huge understatement. They were very professional in the process, but also very compassionate to our thoughts and feelings. The work they did behind the scenes was incredible and thorough. They have a huge following of potential buyers and work very hard to bring them to the table.

The trustees were advised by our lawyer that Zomer Company were the BEST and an interview with Mark was set up. He explained things so very clearly. The trustees hired him. The day arrived,( with bitter-sweet feelings) us girls had never been to a land auction before. Mark greeted us and introduced us to his staff. As the bidding took place, we were totally amazed by Mark\u2019s determination to get the best price. A bitter-sweet day was so much easier because of Mark and his staff\u2019s kindness and caring for us.

Mark Zomer of Zomer Company exceeded all our expectations, which were quite high based on the glowing references from former clients. During the year and a half leading up to our sale, we got to know Mark very well through numerous conference calls with family members. His work ethic is amazing, and his honesty, integrity, attention to detail and great advice throughout the process confirmed that we had made the right choice. Everything happened on auction day exactly as he had described it would and we were very happy with results. It was the largest financial decision we ever made as a family and Mark repaid our trust with a fantastic farewell to a farm that had been in the family for over 115 years.

This farm was in our family for at least a hundred years and it was so hard to let it go. We visited with two other auctioneers and after interviewing Mark Zomer, we knew he was the right person for us. He understood what we were going through and how difficult it was for us. He handled all our questions and concerns with compassion and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Mark took over the reins and made suggestions to have several things done that we would have never thought of, did all the advertising, drone flyovers of the land, made sale booklets, took the abstracts to Orange City and so many other things.<br \/>\nHe was available at all times to talk with us or take potential buyers out to the farm. He gave up so much of his own family time to make sure that the sale would go smoothly and for that, we can&#8217;t thanks him enough. Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, so all of this was handled teleconferences. My sister and I decided to personally meet and visit with Mark a few weeks before the sale and he spent an entire afternoon with us. We went through all the things he had done and then he took us on a tour of the farm and the surrounding area that brought back many great memories. The sale went extremely well and we had a wonderful turnout. If you ever need an auctioneer that goes above and beyond for their clients, then Mark Zomer and his staff are the ones for you. Mark is the best in our books and we would never hesitate to hire him again if needed.

But I had never before witnessed his expertise in the auction world. It was inevitable to my brothers and me that we would have to sell, but it was not obvious to me who we would go with to sell the land. After Mother passed away, I had no clue what do but my parents Trust advisor told me in no uncertain terms &#8220;The only way to go is to go with Mark Zomer and an auction. He is the BEST.&#8221; Then when my brothers arrived and we met with my parent&#8217;s lawyer, he said in no uncertain terms &#8220;In this area, you need to have an auction and get Mark Zomer \u2013 He&#8217;s the best, highly regarded throughout the midwest, and the most respected locally.&#8221; So my brothers and I set up a visit with Mark. We had a very very short window of time to work with and many decisions to make. In a very short time, Mark and his team had put together packets for each of us showing us the land quality, assuring us they knew it would go well as the land had been in the family for centuries with the original name on the abstract being Ulysses S. Grant.<br \/>\nMark showed us other details about our farmland including how well the land had been cared for. Mark knew all of that.. then he told us about the opportune time to sell and still give adequate time to show proper respect to mother&#8217;s passing&#8230; We discussed our own time constraints and Mark listened. It became VERY CLEAR to my brothers and me that we wanted Mark Zomer to do the auction&#8230; the decision was unanimous. It was not shy of a miracle that we had attained the services of &#8220;THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS&#8221; in a relatively short amount of time. Mark Zomer is genuine, kind, friendly, considerate, informative, caring to the nth degree, available, is an excellent auctioneer, does high-quality work, professional in doing meticulous paperwork even at the high-stress time of sale \u2013 double checks his work, with everything done decently and in order. My brothers and I are so thankful to Mark Zomer for his outstanding service and professionalism in honoring the De Graaff family and the land as it was presented for auction that day.

Our first thoughts were to keep it of course, but after some careful soul searching within our family, the decision was made to sell. We had made a couple of appointments with auctioneer\/realtors, but after our first meeting with Mark and Darrell, it was very clear that these were the guys to work with. They were no pressure, but also no-nonsense people who were very sensitive to our recent loss, but also very honest with their thoughts and opinions. To say they under-promised and over-delivered and over-achieved would be a huge understatement. They were very professional in the process, but also very compassionate to our thoughts and feelings. The work they did behind the scenes was incredible and thorough. They have a huge following of potential buyers and work very hard to bring them to the table.

We had a very very short window of time to work with and many decisions to make. In a very short time, Mark and his team had put together packets for each of us showing us the land quality, assuring us they knew it would go well as the land had been in the family for centuries with the original name on the abstract being Ulysses S. Grant.<br \/>\nMark showed us other details about our farmland including how well the land had been cared for. Mark knew all of that.. then he told us about the opportune time to sell and still give adequate time to show proper respect to mother&#8217;s passing&#8230; We discussed our own time constraints and Mark listened. It became VERY CLEAR to my brothers and me that we wanted Mark Zomer to do the auction&#8230; the decision was unanimous. It was not shy of a miracle that we had attained the services of &#8220;THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS&#8221; in a relatively short amount of time. Mark Zomer is genuine, kind, friendly, considerate, informative, caring to the nth degree, available, is an excellent auctioneer, does high-quality work, professional in doing meticulous paperwork even at the high-stress time of sale \u2013 double checks his work, with everything done decently and in order. My brothers and I are so thankful to Mark Zomer for his outstanding service and professionalism in honoring the De Graaff family and the land as it was presented for auction that day. We have no question that we did the right thing and went with the right guy.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-64728\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Sharla Brammer&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Sharla Brammer<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial excerpt t-slide post-64730\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div data-infinite-loop=\"false\"  class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content  testimonial-content\"><div class=\"readmore-excerpt animated \"><div style=\"display:inline;\">More often, than not, I struggle when I\u2019m placed in an unfamiliar situation.

This farm was in our family for at least a hundred years and it was so hard to let it go. We visited with two other auctioneers and after interviewing Mark Zomer, we knew he was the right person for us. He understood what we were going through and how difficult it was for us. He handled all our questions and concerns with compassion and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Mark took over the reins and made suggestions to have several things done that we would have never thought of, did all the advertising, drone flyovers of the land, made sale booklets, took the abstracts to Orange City and so many other things.<br \/>\nHe was available at all times to talk with us or take potential buyers out to the farm. He gave up so much of his own family time to make sure that the sale would go smoothly and for that, we can&#8217;t thanks him enough. Mark is very knowledgeable of the area, so all of this was handled teleconferences. My sister and I decided to personally meet and visit with Mark a few weeks before the sale and he spent an entire afternoon with us. We went through all the things he had done and then he took us on a tour of the farm and the surrounding area that brought back many great memories. The sale went extremely well and we had a wonderful turnout. If you ever need an auctioneer that goes above and beyond for their clients, then Mark Zomer and his staff are the ones for you. Mark is the best in our books and we would never hesitate to hire him again if needed.

I endorse and highly recommend the services of Mark Zomer!\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-64697\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Read more\" data-less-text=\"Show less\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Curt De Graaf&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Curt De Graaf<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630444504357{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630444692804{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;] Testimonials by Our Valuable Customers [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643223818043{margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background: #f8f8f8 url(https:\/\/zomercompany.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/federico-respini-sYffw0LNr7s-unsplash-1-scaled-e1576882470883.jpg?id=51930) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;full_width testi_header&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Farmland&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:40|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1633360087239{margin-top: 0px<a href=\"https:\/\/zomercompany.com\/site\/all-testimonials\/\" class=\"readmore\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Testimonials&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Client Testimonials | Zomer Company Realty &amp; Auction<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Testimonials by our valuable customers.
