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.

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.

Mikayla Boge and I just recently closed our first deal together in SE KS. Mikayla was quite likely the most involved realtor I have ever done a transaction with. This is extremely rare because Mikayla was the SELLER’S AGENT. I absolutely cannot thank Mikayla enough for her strength and professionalism. The role she played in getting this deal done is unheard of from a seller’s agent. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. Ultimately, all parties walked away from this transaction satisfied and in good spirits. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mikayla Boge to anyone needing a realtor’s services, and I truly look forward to working with her again.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
