Taxing Matters

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.

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 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!

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.

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 AgWest Land Brokers 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. AgWest Land Brokers were always accessible, responded immediately, never said a question was silly, and always treated us with the utmost respect. If they did not know the answer immediately, they would always find out and promptly reply. Their 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, AgWest Land Brokers impressed me with their positive attitude, knowledge of the area, their creativity, openness to explore, and their 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, they personally uncovered old county records, maps, easements, and steered us to trusted legal advisors, escrow, and title officers. AgWest Land Brokers was always willing to make the “hard” phone calls and constantly negotiated in our best interest.

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

As a recently retired Real Estate agent in Colorado, I was chosen by our family to select the company to sell three farms in central Nebraska. I took my selection seriously and proceeded to review the different options. After communicating with Jeff Moon at AgWest Land Brokers and getting every question answered, I made my recommendation to proceed with Jeff. His patience, understanding, and ability to answer every question I presented to him were a testament to his skill and ability. If you happen to require help with a farm sale, you could not find someone who has better communication skills and the patience to answer every question I threw at him. My highest recommendation!
