What Our Clients are Saying About Us
I was speechless when the results came in. We never would have guessed the farm would sell for that much money. Jason is an incredible person. Not only is he knowledgeable but his confidence was comforting for us. I will forever be a fan of DreamDirt and highly recommend them.

When we inherited farmland we really had no idea what to do with it. The idea of selling it made us sick but the idea of owning it was intimidating. We met with DreamDirt and learned we were not alone. They did so much to put our minds and hearts at ease. They found an amazing young family to purchase our land and we were so happy our family land will become part of another legacy. Jason was very knowledgeable and had the perfect answers for us.

DreamDirt did a great job for my siblings and I. We interviewed 5 different auction companies and felt DreamDirt was the best. They didn’t disappoint us and made things very easy for us. The process was smooth and Jason guided every part of the sale to a great result.

Last Fall our family contacted DreamDirt to learn about selling our farm. We were surprised there was so much to learn and DreamDirt made sure we had access to information that was helpful and educational. They helped us plan for the sale of Dad’s farms and were very respectful. Their advertising was very nicely done and a really big audience on auction day. If you want to sell a farm use DreamDirt, they are proven.
We employed DreamDirt to sell 1181 acres of land in Winnebago County and 120 acres in Franklin in northern lowa. This was our parents estate and was a very important matter to us. We were most impressed with their very thorough planning, advertising and auction. They were very knowledgeable and available every time when we had questions and that was often. I believe they are on the cutting edge of their profession and they would get our highest recommendation, they are true professionals at what they do which made things very smooth for us with great results.”
WOW! DreamDirt sold our family farms this morning for almost double what we thought we’d get for the farms. We almost sold our farms for thousands less earlier in the year. I am thankful my brother insisted on an auction. Jason was a very humble and smart Auctioneer. The way they advertise really helped us get the best deal. DreamDirt gets it done!
If you are ever in a place to sell farmland I recommend DreamDirt. Our experience with them was very positive. They did what they said they would do. They followed a very clear plan and kept us updated at every step. We placed a lot of trust in them and they proved themselves to be very trustworthy. Our auction was slightly more complicated but in the end they brought the right bidders and completed successful sales on each farm.
Our family was divided on what we should do with our farmland inheritance. After talking with DreamDirt they helped us understand the options. They helped us make a plan and liquidate some farmland and equipment and they made it really simple for us. In the end everybody in the family was pleased with how it was done. The results of the auctions were
fantastic even in a difficult market.

I had never heard of an online auction for farmland and was apprehensive about the idea. My heart was pounding so hard in the final 20 minutes, I could not believe how the bidders just had an all out battle for our farm in the last minutes. This is something to see how they do this! Really though these guys are top notch. I recommend dream dirt to everybody.
So glad we went with DreamDirt. Mom and Dad were very pleased with the prices and your process was so simple. Your planning was very encouraging and we felt very comfortable with your team. We really had a good experience working with you to sell the farms.
I wanted to thank you guys so much for all of your efforts. My siblings and I were blown away by your creativity and expert knowledge. We didn’t really how much there was to selling a farm and we were so glad to have you on our side.
Your advertising was very thoughtful and the process was very smooth. Everything you told us would happen did and that was comforting. For as much as you can say this process is enjoyable, it was from a customer service point of view, you guys made a difficult process easier for our family.

Our experience in selling our farm with Jason was exemplary. He is incredibly knowledgable, professional, extremely informative, in real-time and simply delightful to work with. Everyone at DreamDirt has been prompt and informative as well, but Jason went far beyond what we anticipated when we began the selling process. I would recommend him 100%, without hesitation.”
I sold farmland through their online auctioneer services, and I couldn’t be happier with the services they provided.
I am Very Very impressed with Dream Dirt. I had a couple questions for the Auctioneer and I called and got a very friendly answer on the answering machine. Within a minute or so the Auctioneer called me back and answered every question I had about the Farmland that was being auctioned off. He also called me a couple days later and reminded me that in about two hours the auction was going to end. I ended up having the winning bid on the Farmland. They sent all the needed paperwork to my Email and it took only minutes to sign it. What an easy and painless transaction. I couldn’t be happier. I recommend Dream Dirt to anyone.
I cannot thank you enough Jason for your professionalism, knowledge of this business, and your willingness and patience to share information, and calm nerves. I trusted you completely from the get go, and that says a lot, because I am, by nature, leery of people and their motives. You put both Tom and I at ease from the moment we spoke. I truly feel that I got the best price given all the less than outliers of my farm. A fair price is all I wanted from the get go, and I am confident, that because of you, we achieved that. Jason, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
This is a ‘get-er-done’ operation. After the last closing, Jason suggested that I could write a ‘one or two line testimonial’ about my experience with Dream Dirt. It will take more than one or two sentences! I contacted Jason about selling our family farms. He was very thorough and professional at all times. He showed utmost respect to the fact that these were generational farms, owned by our family for as long as I can remember. We came to a difficult set of circumstances and at every ‘bump in the road’ Jason came up with a positive solution. No question I had remained unanswered no matter how trivial. Both Dynamic and Innovative. This is a ‘get-er-done’ operation that is unafraid of being progressive AND aggressive. Not wanting the ‘good ole’ boy’ solution of selling farm land was very important to me and Dream Dirt did not disappoint. In reading previous testimonials, others had remarked how they could text, email, contact Jason 24/7. That really is true because I did contact him at all times of the day and night. This is a team that you can put your trust in and you will get a great result. Dream Dirt is THE best!!!

I would highly recommend that you use their auction services if you are going to sell your farmland.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Jason Smith Farmland Auctioneer for his efforts in handling the auction and sale of our two estate farm properties in Iowa. The Betty J (Brown) Robinson Estate properties were handled in a very professional and courteous manner, with Jason working tirelessly, day and night, to give my brother, sister and me all possible sale options. Jason was always available to answer any questions, and to work on the best sale
and auction possibilities for many months, with his efforts resulting in better-then-expect returns on both properties. Jason identified with all issues on these sales, and since I live in Pittsburgh, helped overcome many challenging situations to bring those results to fruition.
Jason and I crossed paths several years ago while I was attending an auction. It was during those few minutes that we discovered we had quite a bit in common…a passion for hunting and enjoying the beauty of Iowa. As I got to know more about Jason, I felt very fortunate to have stumbled across this walking encyclopedia, and was amazed at the knowledge he possessed about land ownership and his enthusiasm to share with me.\n\nLast year, I contacted Jason about several properties that I intended to sell and asked for his assistance. Despite the short timeline, Jason responded quickly and worked tirelessly to market these properties. Jason didn’t just stop at getting the listing and turning the property over to other salespeople. He spent hours learning and understanding the property so that he could explain the potential of it to who ever he showed it to. I was amazed at his ability to match the ideal buyer(s) for our property\n
Jason Smith went above-and-beyond with regards to the help and attention he showed in the sale of our farm. We had more than a few questions, and a lot of reservations in the beginning, yet it was Jason’s patience, as well as his thorough knowledge, genuine friendliness, and total and timely attention that made us feel comfortable going forward with the auction process. And now that it’s over, we’re so glad we did!\n \nWhat impressed us even more was the help and support we received after the sale, especially with the last-minute arrangement of our 1031 exchanges. The type of service we received from Jason is hard to find these days, and my entire family and I were nothing less than completely impressed throughout the entire deal. We really never imagined the farm selling for so much!\n
Jason Smith and his team surpassed our expectations, and I want to sincerely thank you for making a farm sale for an out-of-state family such a great success. From the first telephone conversation with Jason, to the company’s assistance with final documentation, everything was communicated clearly and professionally. Even hindrances such as our loss of both the abstract and the tilling map didn’t present an obstacle for Jason, who reassured us they could be replaced, and did so without allowing us to feel stressed. Jason’s initial proposal and estimate was also extremely thorough and accurate, and the only surprise for us was when the land sold for $1,000 an acre more than his estimate!

When my family decided to sell some of our land in central Iowa, Jason’s website was an invaluable resource in learning about the fundamentals of the ag market and logistics in pricing land. The natural next step was to consider him as the auctioneer to handle the sale, and he earned the business with his quick responses and straightforward direction about how to get the process started. In the weeks leading up to the sale, Jason worked to earn his commission. Every step of the way, no matter the question I had, his answer came back immediately, via phone or email. He simply inspires confidence, and even when I was hundreds of miles away, I knew that he was on the ground building awareness for the auction and lining up all the necessary resources.
Bo Brock, Dallas County, IA
I had talked to Jason several times over the two months before the auction, but had never met him until the day of the auction. I feel that everything from the smallest details in getting ready for the sale – right up to and including the auction – was handled with complete professionalism. It was truly a pleasure to work with Jason and his team. Thank you!
Gary Vroegh, Marion County, IA
Our family contracted DreamDirt to facilitate the auction of our multi-generational, 200 acre farm in Bremer County, IA. Jason and his team exceeded expectations in every way. Literally everything we were told to expect happened in exactly the way described, with the only notable exception being our property sold for more than Jason’s initial estimate! Actively engaging buyer and seller alike, the DreamDirt online auction platform is superbly conceptualized and executed. An exciting final couple of hours yielded a valuation well above what we expected. While our transaction has yet to close, Jason and his team delivered when it counted. Look no further, DreamDirt is highly recommended.
