I have looked at numerous properties with Clayton Esslinger. The first one we closed on happened to be one we came across while looking at one of Clayton’s listings. He was very helpful in getting that deal done, which was the first of several as it would turn out. Clayton is very pleasant to work with and is plainly honest. His intimate knowledge of the properties and owners in the Norton and Graham county area has been of great help. Once he understood my goals, we zero’d in on some great parcels, and to date have closed on five with the sixth in the works.

Kory just started with AgWest Land Brokers and I immediately wanted him to handle the sale of our farm. Kory was there every step of the process, answered every question that we had, and addressed every situation that was presented through the process. I couldn’t be happier with the way Kory performed! I expected a lot from Kory since I had known him since childhood, but the level of professionalism and service he provided was second to none! Thank you Kory for all that you do! I will refer you to all!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Bryan. From the very beginning he made me feel at ease and answered all my questions and concerns. Even though I was a little hesitant on selling my farm, he reassured me that the process would be simple. He went above and beyond all my expectations. He contacted many potential buyers in a short period of time because he knew I didn’t want this sale to be a long, drawn-out process. He was prompt and professional and got me the price I wanted. He was by my side from the beginning to the very end and I couldn’t have gone through all this without him! He’s GREAT!

I had a great experience selling a section of grass using AgWest as my realtor! Jeff Moon and Clayton Esslinger were my listing agents, and they really went to work and did a great job selling the property! I gave them a price I wanted to obtain for the section, and they advertised it well and even used a drone to make a video to promote the land. They generated a lot of interest in the property and within ten days, we received an acceptable offer. I was totally satisfied with the effort and would use AgWest services again.

AgWest Land Brokers conducted a land auction for The Minden Exchange Bank & Trust Co., Trustee for the Jennie Palmblade Testamentary Trust. The Axtell land auction was well advertised and a good crowd with a lot of interest was in attendance. Joel Grams, Farm and Ranch Specialist, did a very professional job representing the Jennie Palmblade Testamentary Trust real estate. There were no questions or clarification addressed during the auction. AgWest Land Brokers were well prepared for the closing, which took place twenty-one days ahead of the closing date.

I highly recommend utilizing AgWest Land Brokers and Jeff Moon for the sale of agricultural property. Working with Jeff on the recent sale of our late father’s three farms in Central Nebraska was a very positive experience. Jeff went out of his way to answer all of our questions from when we started researching options on how to sell the farms to the end of the closing process. Jeff’s personal touch and recommendations made what could have been a stressful process seem routine. Many thanks go to Jeff and his team for all the work they did to ensure a successful outcome.

We recently sold a family farm that was in a partnership. Jeff Moon and AgWest came highly recommended by the other partner of the farm.

Not being a farmer and living 200 plus miles from the land, Jeff made everything easy for me. The details he put into the brochure, video and advertising were unbelievable. No details were left untouched.

Jeff maintained constant contact with me and took care of all the details during this process, from the beginning thru the closing.

We were able to attend the auction to where I met Jeff personally. Once again I was blown away with all the details involved of selling a farm. Jeff puts his heart and soul into his job representing his clients. I would highly recommend him.

When my three siblings and I made the decision to sell the remaining parcels of our family farm in Burt County, we engaged Jeff Moon as our broker. Even though he now resides in Phelps County, he had familiarity with land types and values in Burt County.

My three siblings and I agreed that Jeff conducted our business in a professional, prompt, and efficient manner and was knowledgable when we presented questions. Since we four live in three states, Jeff conducted a number of successful Zoom meetings to facilitate the process.

He is personable, approachable, and we trusted him completely. Since most of us could not be present for the closing, Jeff made the road trip to finalize the sale.

I would not hesitate to ask for Jeff’s leadership again when it’s needed.
