"After trying to sale our farmland ourselves unsuccessfully, we looked to Chris Miller for help. It was clear when he met with us, his knowledge about farm and timberland would be a real advantage. Chris was a pleasure to work with. He responded immediately to phone calls and emails and kept us informed from day one until the money was in the bank."

"I have worked with Chris Miller for many years. He has helped me manage several tracts of land with both timber and land sales. Chris is very knowledgeable and always has been extremely professional. He is always responsive and has good ideas. I can give Chris my highest recommendation for anyone seeking services in any type of land and timber operations. "
