Travis Hamele - UC Hunting Properties

Travis Hamele

A lifetime resident of South-Central Wisconsin and Columbia County, a young Travis cultivated a love of the land and outdoors on his family farm. This love of conservation and hunting has turned into a lifetime’s passion and dedication.

Drawing on those formidable experiences and the years he spent assisting his father in the family auction service, Travis developed a wealth of knowledge and a strong heritage of leadership; evident in the highly successful marketing strategy of both his auction business and real estate sales of hunting properties, country homes, and farms in Wisconsin.

Travis created United Country Hunting Properties in 2012; a niche marketing company, which has been an industry leader in the selling of Wisconsin recreational land. In 2015, Travis confidently launched UC Hunting Properties nationwide.

Today, Travis continues to enjoy his role as a real estate broker, lead auctioneer and managing the day-to-day operations for his Wisconsin real estate and auction offices in Portage, Adams, Onalaska, and Richland Center, along with offices in the states of Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota and Oklahoma.

Travis’s experience and excellence in real estate and auction markets continues to benefit his sellers in the auctioning and selling of large tracts of land, multiple property home auctions, along with the strategic parceling of land to maximize seller’s values. Those successes transferred over to his sales of commercial real estate, business assets, private homes, large country estates and lake properties.

Recently, Travis has partnered with Realtree®, to take UC Hunting Properties to the next level with United Country Hunting Properties Powered by Realtree®. Additionally, Travis has earned the prestigious title of Accredited Land Consultant through the Realtors Land Institute. This title brings with it the sales experience and knowledge given to only 700 people in the United States of America.

Travis’s utilization of the latest technology and real estate marketing techniques gives you, the client, a front seat to success. His office has been in the TOP FIVE United Country offices for the last nine years. He spent two of those nine years in the NUMBER ONE spot! Whether it is your personal assets, real estate, conventional or by auction, Travis will put his knowledge and expertise to work for you!

When Travis is looking to unwind, you will find him with his equally talented wife, Ginni, of twenty years, along with his two beautiful daughters, Adison and Brinley.

When Travis and Ginni aren’t watching their daughters’ sports events, you can find the family enjoying bonding time while maintaining their family properties in Wisconsin and Kansas.

Traveling out west to bow hunt is another of Travis’s favorite pastime. He also enjoys being in a duck blind, a deer blind, gobbling for turkeys, or traipsing around with his best hunting buddy, Lil Ann.

Lil Ann is a lovely Red Fox Lab, who spends most of her time hunting by Travis’s side, assisting him with land management duties or in Kansas training.

Travis continues to rely on the inspiration he receives from his family and time outdoors. These give him the greatest gift of relatability and a better understanding of each client’s needs- finding the perfect property to fit their lifestyle needs. Travis truly lives the tag-line, ‘It is not just land, it’s a lifestyle’.

Community involvement with youth, fundraising for education and wellness, all serve as his commitment to community growth. Travis remains active with various board activities. Currently, he sits on the Columbia County Land Information and Condemnation Committee, and just recently joined the Agrace Foundation Board.

He has served as the past Director of the Wisconsin Auctioneers Association, and the Board of Directors of Divine Savior Health Care of Portage, Wisconsin; serving as a board chair for four years.

Travis’s dedication to excellence in auction, realty and life, gives every client the confidence that he truly cares and wants his clients to live their best lifestyle! Give Travis Hamele a call today at 608-697-3349 or email at [email protected]
