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.

A few months ago we contacted Jeff Moon in regards to selling our co-owned family farm. We found Jeff to be very knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. Within a week or so of listing our property, we had multiple offers and an acceptable offer was put together in a very timely manner. Within 4-5 weeks our property was listed, had an acceptable contract, and closed all due to Jeff’s effort. It was a very easy transaction. I can recommend Jeff Moon at the highest level. Thank you Jeff!

We decided AgWest Land Brokers were the best fit to market our 98 acres. They were always available by phone, text, email and personal visits to assure us in our decision and to answer any and all questions. In our case, we had three co-owners, so they were fielded questions from all of us in a prompt and considerate manner.

In addition to our agent, we were extremely impressed with the marketing of our land. My top marketing favorite was the online drone video of the land. The video really captured the uniqueness of our property we had always appreciated.

I would not hesitate to list with AgWest Land Brokers again. Honestly, I don’t know how our land sale could have been promoted any better.

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.

I made the decision to sell my 240-acre family farm. Jeff Moon, a land broker at AgWest Land Brokers, was recommended to me by a business associate. Most of my communications with Jeff were by emails and phone conversations. He gave me updates weekly as to the progress made in preparation for the farm auction, and he efficiently took care of all the necessary details. He organized advertising the farm auction through radio, newspapers, and webpage ads. I appreciated Jeff’s professionalism in working with prospective buyers. The farm sale was well attended with many buyers present. Jeff conducted a good auction, and I received a great price for the farm. It was a good day!

We were part owners of our family farm. We put the farm up for sale and worked with AgWest Land Brokers every step of the way. My brothers and I live on the East Coast, but the communication and access we had was phenomenal, and we never felt the distance. Anytime we had a question, we could contact them and received immediate attention. Every week I received an email keeping me up to date. Forms would be sent via email to be signed, and I was impressed at how smoothly and rapidly things proceeded. The professionalism and concern for each family member was very much appreciated!
