Taxing Matters

Well over a century ago, my great-grandfather purchased land-locked, undevelopable, prone to flooding, wooded land in Kansas to divide up into parcels for each of his many children. After ownership was passed through multiple generations, the land is still growing trees, providing refuge for wildlife, and most is still owned by descendants of my great-grandfather. My small family branch inherited two small pieces of land.

I first spoke with Mikayla Boge over two years ago. Since I live in California, I needed a reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, patient, boots-on-the-ground kind of agent who could help us learn more about these properties and potentially help us navigate a sale from afar. Mikayla was always accessible, responded immediately, never said a question was silly, and always treated us with the utmost respect. If she did not know the answer immediately, she would always find out and promptly reply. Her follow­through was impeccable.

It is safe to say, these two small parcels of land are not particularly valuable and would not build an agent’s resume. However, from our very first conversation, Mikayla impressed me with her positive attitude, knowledge of the area, her creativity, openness to explore, and her honest willingness to learn all about these two land parcels. This was not going to be an easy sell. At every turn in the road, Mikayla personally uncovered old county records, maps, easements, and steered us to trusted legal advisors, escrow, and title officers. Mikayla was always willing to make the “hard” phone calls and constantly negotiated in our best interest.

Recently, the two parcels sold. Mikayla worked to complete these sales for over two years and never once made us feel that the size of the properties was not worth her time. I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Mikayla for her tireless efforts resulting in happy and very appreciative clients.

I worked with Kraig Urkoski on the purchase of a farm in Merrick County. With this being my first adventure in to buying ag land, i was pretty nervous about the whole process. Luckily I was able to work with Kraig. The process was great, communication from the AgWest team kept me in the loop the entire time. Kraig continues to be a great resource for me as I get going on my farm investment journey.

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!

Thank you so much for getting the Kohl Farm sold. It was such a pleasure working with you. I wish you and your family all the best. If I ever hear of someone talking about future sales, I will most definitely give them your name.

I worked directly with Kraig Urkoski for the Merrick County auction.  He provided the sale information and answered my questions quickly and easily.  I would work with AgWest Land in the future.

Kraig Urkoski was easy to work with. He would call and personally talk, and inform us of the status of the land we were interested in. The turnover process was smooth. We are very pleased with the entire process.

I could not have asked for a better sellers agent than Mikayla Boge. Being a first time seller, I had a lot of questions and she was there every step of the way. Going above and beyond during the entire journey from fielding multiple offers to the closing process. She had us under contract within a week and closed within a month! I would highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs.

Our broker was Kraig Urkoski, from the very beginning he was very courteous and friendly. He answered all our questions in a timely manner, and also showed us several properties to help us make sure we were happy with the one we bought.

I recently sold my convenience store business with Ross Poyser.  He did a great job communicating and keeping me up-to-date on all information.  Ross was very thorough throughout the entire process.  I highly recommend him and AgWest Land Brokers for your real estate needs.

Kraig was very knowledgeable and helpful. He continued to provide advice and assistance even after closing. He was the consummate professional.

I was very pleased with the job AgWest Land Brokers did in working with me on my last land purchase. They were easy to work with and kept me informed every step of the way. They were very informative about the land and made sure I felt good about the purchase. I look forward to doing more business with them. Thanks!

I was very satisfied with Clayton representing my ground.  He was very professional, worked very hard to make sure I understood all the steps, & kept me informed every step of the way. He did not take any step of the process for granted.  I felt he was doing the best for me that he possibly could.  He was very honest and up front with me.  I am very happy with him.

We had a very positive experience with Jeff Moon of AgWest Land Brokers. He was a proactive advocate on our behalf and resourceful in pursuing a potential buyer. Jeff’s pre-sale advertising was professional and engaging. He was patient in answering our questions and gave pertinent advice to make the sale successful. I would not hesitate to ask him to be my broker in the future.

Kraig Urkoski was my agent. He did a very good job on follow-up calls and answering all questions. It always felt like you could call him and ask questions and you were not wasting his time.

PKG EnterprisesNebraska

Jeff did a great job communicating with us via phone calls, texts, emails and in-person visits.  Jeff was also very good at parlaying our hard to utilize portion of real estate with our  neighbor’s ground, increasing the value of both  and making a better property for our new neighbors.

Robert HaagNebraska

Very professional and patient throughout the process.

Danny TrauschNebraska

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!

Pamela J. DaunerNebraska

It was a pleasure working with AgWest Land Brokers during the purchase of our Franklin County ranch during these uncertain times! I highly recommend AgWest Land Brokers and their professional land brokerage approach.

Jason AndersonNebraska

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!
