FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dallas, Texas – VR Huntington Business Group of Dallas assisted in the successful sale of Sweet Land Tree Farm last week from Wintters Realty, LLC to HHH Nurseries, LLC.

Todd Wintters, president of Wintters Realty, LLC, acquired the farm three years ago from the founder. Sweet Land became a division of his engineering company, but as his core business evolved, it became a priority to move away from the tree business and find a suitable buyer for the farm.

“When it came time to sell the farm, I had two routes to consider,” Wintters said. “I could list the property with a real estate broker or try using a professional business intermediary. In the end, choosing VR Huntington was the best decision I could have made. The farm benefitted greatly from being marketed as an operating business rather than just a piece of property.”

HHH Nurseries, LLC was formed by brothers Blake and Jason Hearnsberger, along with their father, Roy. The group has real estate interests in other parts of the state and Sweet Land provided them an opportunity to expand their operation into East Texas as well as into the wholesale tree business.

“Having acquired other agricultural properties previously, our objective was to expand those holdings with an income-producing opportunity,” said older brother Jason. “This business was a bit further from the Houston area than we were looking to go, but based on the quality of the operation and the amount of detail readily provided by VR Huntington, Sweet Land became a viable option for us.”

Wintters gives VR Huntington credit – not only for generating significant interest in his business and producing multiple offers but also for the expertise they provided in evaluating each buyer individually.

“VR produced four offers on my business,” Wintters said. “The buyers were all qualified and motivated to make the purchase, which puts a lot of pressure on the owner to make sure and choose the right person. With VR’s guidance I selected an offer, and it turned out to be the best buyer I could have hoped for.”

Sweet Land Tree Farm (www.sweetlandtreefarm.com) offers wholesale customers access to a variety of Texas’ most popular hardwood landscape trees, including red oak, live oak, Chinese pistachio, pond cypress, cedar elm, lacebark elm and many others. The farm sits on 20 acres of prime property in Grand Saline, Texas. Contact Sweet Land at 903.962.3986.
