MATT PALMQUIST -- Council Grove resident Matt Palmquist recently passed his real estate exam and accepted a position with Whitetail Properties Real Estate as a Land Specialist. “The Flint Hills are teeming with wildlife sought after by hunters and anglers,” said Palmquist. “Many landowners don’t realize the true market value of their property when outdoor recreational opportunities are involved.” Palmquist grew up near Lindsborg and earned a degree in Wildlife Biology from Fort Hays State University. He previously worked for NRCS as a Soil Conservationist, but says his passion for hunting, the outdoors and building a rapport with landowners made Whitetail Properties a perfect fit.
