Marketing Real Estate in Rural America

Episode 106 with Dave and Ryan Wiedeman

In rural America, we do business with people we know, like and trust, especially with major purchases or services. Buying a home is typically one of the largest investments a person will make in their lifetime and it helps to know someone to be by your side throughout the process. That’s where the family team of Dave and Ryan Wiedeman have come to find success for over four decades.

Dave and Ryan Wiedeman are the father and son duo behind RE/MAX of Sedalia, bringing a combined 70 years of real estate experience to the local market. The Wiedemans are dedicated to helping clients find their dream homes and are heavily involved in the local community, through both their business and personal passion. Dave and Ryan have found success with a number of marketing strategies, promoting their services through traditional, digital, and social media channels.

Tune in to this episode of OUTdrive as Dave and Ryan share how they have built a successful family business in rural America for over 40+ years.
