My Ratings and Reviews
Terri Jensen goes the extra mile. There were issues with a piece of property that we needed to sell and she did all kinds of investigative legwork to straighten them out. Professional, patient and kind, Terri is a pleasure to work with. She is quick to respond to questions and follow through on things. Her knowledge and experience with real estate was invaluable. We are glad we had her help and highly recommend her.

Terri Jensen has been very professional and helpful from the first time I called her. She started doing research on my property right away and has kept in touch every step of the way. This particular property was sold within ten days of it going on the market and it sold for more than the asking price. I have been very pleased with Terri Jensen and am glad that I am still working with her on my other property. She takes a personal interest in each situation and has gone above and beyond to help make the property more marketable and ultimately realize a higher net return.

Terri Jensen was great! She stayed on top of the title company and lender to facilitate a remote closing for our family. We highly recommend her to anyone listing or buying a property.

We had land that we owned with a family member, and we wanted to sell our half. We weren’t quite sure how to go about it, so we talked to the other landowner first. They weren’t interested initially.
So then we reached out to Terri Jensen. She walked us through what her company had to offer. She emailed us everything promptly. Once we decided that she was the person that we wanted to work with us, she immediately put everything into action. She did her due diligence of looking up land prices, talking with our local FSA office, checking out production rates and recent land sales. And within a short amount of time, came up with a proposal. She gave us great information on which to make our decision on the asking price and the accepting price. She let us know what she was doing every step of the way and offered for us to be as involved in each step as we wanted to be.
Both myself and my husband are very busy. We were kept apprised of everything step-by-step. Every decision we made together she confirmed with us once again. She was at closing for us, made sure all of our documents came, got us copies of everything that was signed, and even walked the check over to the bank. We may be the exception, however, from the time we looked into Terri’s services to the time we closed was less than eight weeks!
I would highly recommend Terri Jensen and National Land Realty. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they will be the first person we contact if we ever want to sell any more of our land.

Terri was our savior. Had several obstacles that I was unsure of clearing. Terri took care of them no problem. Her ability to problem solve is second to none. She is always in close contact and very knowledgeable in her field. She provides you the resources you need to have a successful transition and gives you the best options available. As a first time seller, Terri made me feel like a seasoned veteran. I’d highly recommend Terri to anyone looking to sell or buy; if you take my suggestion you won’t be disappointed.

Terri Jensen was outstanding in every aspect of selling our land. She returned phone calls promptly, answered all questions, sought answers to any problems, and was always friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Terri Jensen for your realty needs.

Terri worked relentlessly to help me sell a problematic piece of land. I've sold a lot of real-estate over the years and Terri was the first realtor to proactively keep me informed of everything that was happening and what our next steps should be. I would highly recommend her to help you buy or sell any sort of agricultural or recreational property. Keep in mind, your everyday residential realtor rarely has the experience or insight to sell land.

Terri Jensen kept me informed. She actively pursued potential buyers.
Most importantly she got the job done!
– Angie H. (February 10, 2020)
From start to finish, Terri was fantastic!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. She was always timely in her responses and encouraging as well. Our land sold in record time once we engaged her services. Previously, it had been on the market with NO results for about 7 months. Terri was a true answer to our prayers, and we are so glad we found her!

– Yvonne C. (August 20, 2019)
Terri Jensen has been super to work with the past three years as we have been developing an agribusiness program at Minnesota State Mankato. Terri has a passion for what she does and it comes across with energy and knowledge of the industry to the students. She gets those with not much Ag background to see the opportunities in the industry for business students.

– Jim K. (April 15, 2019)
Terri Jensen was the only person on my radar to handle the sale of my property in Minnesota that I knew competent enough to fully describe to potential buyers the intricacies of the legal aspects , easements and building restrictions that my particular parcel possessed. As an Accredited Land Consultant with the Realtors Land Institute I knew I was getting the best in the Real Estate Profession.
– Jim W. (April 15, 2019)
Terri Jensen is professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. She communicated clearly, so I always knew the status of the process. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Terri Jensen. If I am involved in any realty transactions, in the future, I will definitely contact National Land Realty.
– James K. (March 01, 2019)
Terri met all our expectations very well. It was a complicated procedure, and since I live a distance away and have health issues, we had to trust Terri to help us through this estate sale -- breaking the farm into three parcels, and all that entails. We obtained our hoped-for purchase prices almost overnight. Terri was prompt, accurate and very knowledgeable. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

I have seen Terri work to establish collaboration between all lines of business, represent the company well, recruit good people, and provide mentorship to sales associates, appraisers and farm managers.
I benefited from Terri's creative problem-solving and ability to think outside-the-box, as well as her ability to create win-win situations. She also possesses a wealth of knowledge and was always willing to assist with any questions or situation I was dealing with. Terri was very easy to work with and I knew I could always count on her.
In addition, Terri's national contacts through her association with REALTORS Land Institute, ASFMRA, Appraisal Institute and other organizations were of great benefit to me. There was always someone Terri could recommend for a particular situation or issue if she was unable to help me.
– Bill G. (May 01, 2018)
Terri always had a positive attitude about each of the individual appraisers, the company, and the appraisal profession. In the short time I worked with Terri, she taught me more about marketing myself than I had learned in 20 years prior. She was always willing to listen to my needs as well as all of the other appraisers, and work with each appraiser to help maximize individual potential and growth.
I have the highest respect for Terri. She was the BEST mentor I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
– Melissa D. (May 01, 2018)
Terri was an involved detailed person and very focused on her projects. She always completed in-depth research that was needed to understand and accurately represent her client's properties. She was well respected by her clientele for her knowledge, professionalism and follow through on every property she sold.
As long as I have known Terri, she has continually worked to improve her knowledge in all she does. Terri received the top real estate land designation, the Accredited Land Consultant Designation from the REALTORS Land Institute (RLI), a division of the National Association of REALTORS. Through her involvement serving on numerous national RLI committees, she was recognized for her leadership skills and was asked to run for, and was elected, 2015 national president.
Terri has my respect and admiration for all she has accomplished."

Terri is a very smart, successful entrepreneur having built a successful business on her own. She is a lifelong learner. I am always amazed at what new learning adventure she has taken on every time I see her.
In organizations that she is a part of, it doesn't take long before Terri volunteers for a leadership position. She is dedicated with a warm, open heart and gives a great deal of herself when she takes charge. Terri seems to always be striving to serve the greater good and uses her influence to bring others along. She has a great sense of humor and creativity which she generously contributes to all circles and is infectious and makes working/volunteering beside her a pleasure which I have greatly appreciated. She shows impeccable integrity and can be trusted to walk her talk. At the same time she is self aware and a dedicated partner and mother.

Terri has done appraisal work for our bank for more than ten years. She is prompt, thorough and professional in every manner. Her work has received many compliments, as she has a talent for combining the current situational analysis with the numeric analysis in order to produce very accurate, quality finished products.

Terri is a proven leader in her profession, and takes the time to "go the extra mile" for her clients.

I have worked with Terri for about ten years on a variety of land surveying related projects.

She works hard and is dedicated to complete these jobs in a timely manner, which I know has been appreciated by the clients.
I have always known Terri to be very knowledgeable and hardworking in her business. She is very articulate and possesses great communication skills. She has always been great to work with and I know of others who have made the same comments about her.
