All States Realty Inc. and Keith Elbers have teamed up to open a branch office in Hills.
"Keith will be manning the office down in Hills," said All States Realty Broker Ed Elbers.
Keith currently owns and operates Elbers Auction Service and said he thought real estate sales would complement his auction service.
Keith will sell residential and commercial real estate, farms and acreages.
"We’re trying to get more personal representation for the Hills, Beaver Creek and Steen area," Keith said.
Ed Elbers, Keith’s first cousin, once removed, has been licensed for real estate sales since 1968.
Ed said he used to know everyone in town but now isn’t so familiar with the residents.
"We’d like to bring better service to the southwestern part of our county — fill in the gaps," Ed said.
"When you’ve got somebody here … It’s 10 times better."
Keith also applied for South Dakota and Iowa real estate licenses in order to allow him to sell in the tri-state area.
All States is a member of the Sioux Falls Multiple Listing Service.
