Testimonials
"My husband John and I recently made what we consider one of our most important purchases since we wed in 2011. John lost his father to cancer when he was 19 years old. He and his father had a remarkably close relationship, spending much of their time outdoors fishing or driving the gravel roads of the Wildlife Management Area. Our home is bordered by much of this land that offers him such fond memories. John built the home we live in here, on ground he and his dad cleared by hand. His family has roots in this KY holler going back generations. Countless times John has mentioned how he wished it would come up for sale, knowing it would never happen. A few survey markings spotted on our way home one day followed by some web searching led us to find Whitetail Properties and Matt Young. He was so quick to respond to our questions and I never had a shortage of them. We never had to wonder if he was going to return a call or message. When we decided to put in an offer he was on top of things and kept us informed throughout each step and let us know what to expect next. We had questions about finance companies, surveys, titles, borders, you name it... the knowledge this guy brings to the table is such a comfort. Never was there an encounter or conversation with Matt that we were not fully satisfied with the outcome or answers we received. Professionalism is important and we found that in our dealings with Matt Young. Land is a big investment and decision to make, this was an easy one for us. Purchasing the land around us ensures the place we call home, which reminds my sweet husband of time with his father will not change. It ensures the property around us will not ‘fill” with subdivisions muddying those memories. We are eager to work with Matt and Whitetail Properties in the future to secure more of this land. The smile on my husband’s face throughout this purchase is priceless. We could not be happier with the quality customer service we received. Thank you, Matt Young, for making this experience one we cannot wait to repeat!"
