Old Northwest Land Co

I am a bit surprised at the other two reviews listed here. One sounds like there is definitely another side to the story and the other just sounds ridiculous. You can judge which is which. I have used Garrett Hillary several times for both buying and selling property. Don't let his youth deter you from working with him. I have found him to be thorough, professional and pleasant to work with. He takes this business seriously and keeps current of the many rules and regulations that go with buying and selling real estate. On the other hand, his wonderful personality takes the stress out of all of the details and paperwork.

Becareful around this lady and her firm.

Very knowledgable and made the process easy and stress free! 5 stars for sure!
