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!

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 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.

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!

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!
