For our recent land sale in South Dakota, I had the privilege of working with a consummate professional and all-round great guy, Jim Shaeffer. He was extremely helpful in all aspects of the sale. We live on the east coast and so Jim handled all facets of the sale from listing to closing. He helped us determine market price and sold the property in a week. We experienced some unexpected complexities during the sale and Jim helped us find a qualified attorney in the area and the issues were resolved. The sale would never have come to fruition without Jim’s strong work ethic, dedication and positive attitude. I would highly recommend Jim for any of your real estate needs.

Truly can’t say ‘Thank You’ enough to Jim and his team. Working with someone as knowledgeable and considerate as Jim made the whole process far more enjoyable. From start to finish, we were kept up to speed as Jim took care of everything in a timely manner. We are extremely thankful and excited for this opportunity to purchase land through Jim's brokerage. This expansion will further our family farm for generations to come.

When you have buying or selling interactions with Jim Shaeffer, you feel like you are dealing with a good neighbor. I purchased an out of state acreage, sight unseen, which could have been nerve racking. Questions go through your mind: Is this agent going to follow through? Is the deal going to be professionally completed? Am I buying what I think I am buying? Jim cares about his reputation. He follows through. He is very knowledgeable about the parcel of land that he is selling. He actually cares about the land. He is honest. He has a great work ethic. He understands buyer and seller concerns. He treats the land as if it were his own and treats the buyer or seller as if they are family or friends or neighbors that he will see again AFTER the sale transaction is complete; after the sale is complete the buyer and seller would go out of their way to say hi to Jim and shake his hand – that is how good the buyer or seller would feel about the integrity of the transaction and their interactions with Jim. This is getting rarer in today’s society. I spent a couple of hours talking to Jim about the property and every single question I asked got an honest, knowledgeable answer. Communication with Jim is fantastic. The transaction, from start to finish, was flawless. If Jim says he will do it – he will follow through. I bought land in South Dakota and after the sale was complete, I told him "Jim, if South Dakota is filled with people anywhere near your stature and character- we’re in good shape.” Well done, Jim.
