My wife and I found the AgWest Land Brokers and in particular, Jeff Moon, to be most cooperative, friendly, and informative during the whole process of selling some of our farmland. While it was and is a difficult time with crop prices, land taxes, and other farm expenses to sell farmland it was an arduous time to find just the right buyer, but Jeff hung in there until a buyer was found and the entire selling process completed. We would recommend AgWest Land Brokers and Jeff Moon to anyone considering selling or buying property.

Jerry & June DenkingerNebraska

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.

Lynn EmburyNebraska

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!

Kraig Urkoski and I have established a very good working relationship over the past five years. Since meeting Kraig, he’s been my “go to guy” should a piece of ground in the Central Nebraska area come up for sale. Kraig has always been supportive of my thoughts and price point. It’s nice to have a person to go to, ask his opinion/thoughts on the ground, and get an honest assessment. If you are looking at buying/selling farm ground in Central Nebraska, you need to talk with Kraig.

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.
