Featured Business: Midwest Land Group
The Hampshire Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to spotlight Midwest Land Group (MLG), one of the Midwest’s premier land brokerages. Trusted by landowners, buyers, and investors alike, MLG delivers unmatched expertise in farms, ranches, recreational properties, and rural estates. With a strong foundation of integrity, deep market knowledge, and a genuine client-first philosophy, MLG has become the go-to partner for anyone looking to buy or sell land across the heartland of America.
Drew Kissel brings a strong core value system to his work: professional attitude, continuous improvement, highest integrity, a “burn the ships” mentality, and his grandpa’s tireless work ethic.
A proud local, Drew’s family has been part of the Burlington/Hampshire area for generations. He is a graduate of Burlington Central High School and began his career as a firefighter in both Burlington and Hampshire.
In 2019, he joined his father’s landscaping company, Elite Landscaping Services. While recovering from a back injury he decided to make the leap into Real Estate- focusing on land conservation and preserving it for the next generation. He earned his real estate licenses in both Illinois and Wisconsin and has been passionately helping farmers, landowners, and investors buy and sell large tracts of property ever since.
About Midwest Land Group
Midwest Land Group specializes in connecting people with the land they love—whether it’s a trophy hunting property, a working cattle operation, a legacy family farm, or a scenic build site. Their listings span multiple states and range from multimillion-dollar ranch estates to versatile recreational tracts and investment-grade acreage.
Drew takes a hands-on approach to every property he represents. He enjoys uncovering the rich legacy behind each parcel, including family history, past uses, and exciting future potential. From detailed soil mapping and zoning analysis to consulting with farm service agencies about subsidies, and exploring the land by UTV to capture its unique features, wildlife, ponds, streams, and more, Drew crafts a compelling visual story that attracts the right buyers.
“It is easy for me to fall in love with the land. It helps me to transition and continue the story from the seller to the new owner,” he said.

Drew and his wife, Olevia, recently purchased a homestead in the Hampshire area. He is excited to grow his business in this vibrant community, noting the impressive investments Hampshire has made and their desire to be part of the community’s continued progress.
“I like the idea of being able to have some influence on continuing the farming/agriculture tradition in Hampshire and Burlington.”
Drew creates a professional four-color printed brochure for every property and ensures his listings appear on over 600 websites nationwide.
“Ever since doing this, I see the land differently. I see things in the land I missed before. It has made me fall in love with the land in a whole new way,” he said.
Drew’s ideal client is anyone selling tillable or recreational acreage of 20 acres or more, though he happily handles parcels of any size. He has successfully sold properties ranging from a 400-acre farm in Bureau, IL, down to a 5-acre homestead.
“I put a level of care into each deal as if it were my own. Care and kindness go a long way in today’s world.”

Drew’s background in land, agriculture, and rural business gives him a deep understanding of what buyers and sellers truly need. His client-focused leadership ensures that every transaction—whether selling a cherished family farm or helping someone find their dream hunting property—receives expert guidance and a smooth, professional experience.
Drew keeps a sign in his office that says, “Serve Others Always.” He believes in asking thoughtful questions and truly learning about each client’s unique needs so he can help them avoid potential pitfalls and solve problems before they even arise.
“Working with a recent client, a problem never made it to him. I figured out the problem, solved the problem, and then informed the client about the solutions.”
