“Everyone had looked at selling the farm the way it was then, a whole farm, and no one thought about what was more valuable for the land in the future rather than how it had been used for the last 40 years,” Bob says. “The Loranda Group looked at it and said it’s better here to market the land for redevelopment as residential housing sites, and they parceled it and sold it for that. They looked at the value of the property going forward rather than looking at the past.  By the time John went through the option process, we probably got double to two and a half times what we would have gotten through a traditional sale with a normal real estate agency. And they helped us through every step in the process—including finding resolution to some important environmental issues—and LeeAnn conducted an unbelievable auction.  All through the process, the people at Loranda were so easy to deal with, and they went out of their way to help us. They really went the extra mile for us.”
