Our Agents: Chad Garteski

Chad grew up in a rural setting in southeastern Minnesota. He spent many summer days working for neighboring farmers allowing him to become very familiar with the role agriculture plays in the local economy and to understand the farming practices in this part of the country.

For Chad the pursuit of deer has been an obsession as long as he can remember. In addition to Minnesota he has hunted deer in Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Idaho and Manitoba. Chad has been a part of multiple hunting leases in several states. He now owns properties in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Chad enjoys the process of putting together management plans that not only encompass improvements for hunting but also focus on responsible conservation and stewardship.

Chad has always been a devoted outdoor enthusiast. Growing up just steps away from Trout Run, one of southeastern Minnesota’s blue ribbon trout streams, he became an avid trout fisherman and has fished nearly every trout stream in southeastern Minnesota. Chad has also fished and boated on the Mississippi River his entire life. He is intimately familiar with nearly every aspect of southeastern Minnesota’s outdoor opportunities.

Having bought and sold several properties in recent years, Chad understands the concerns that can accompany real estate transactions and will guide you through in a professional, caring manner. Whether you are buying or selling, put his knowledge of the outdoors, hunting, land management and sales to work for you. With Chad’s support and guidance you will achieve your real estate goals!

Testimonials for Chad

“As a business owner in the outdoor industry, I have a motto and it's 'sell like you want to be sold.' Chad Garteski of Weiss Realty exemplified this with his desire to listen to my needs and help make my hunting dream a reality. After the sale Chad met me at the property to discuss food plot / trail strategy and continues to work with me until the property gets where it needs to be to produce lifelong memories with family and friends. Chad has a genuine passion for the outdoors which made my decision enjoyable. People buy from people they like and I'd encourage others with the same outdoor passion to give Chad a ring and take a walk in the woods with him. Thank you very much Chad!" ~ Chris DeWane

"Just wanted to send a note of thanks for all you did in making our sale finally final! We so appreciate your dedication, expertise in so many ways, prompt and thorough communication, and kindness. We realize how critical an experienced and knowledgeable agent is when selling. Our expectations were exceeded! Although selling the family farm closes a chapter in our heritage and is sad in some ways, you helped to make it a pleasant and rewarding experience. Thanks and Blessings to you ~ Kent & Connie

"Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful job you did selling our land. You’ll recall it was only a few days after listing the property that an interested buyer made an offer, which we accepted. You helped us a great deal by making all parts fit together. The closing also went well, even though it was during the Wuhan virus time. Thanks again and feel free to use us as a reference. ~ Lois Meihak
