"Bret and Malissa are a fabulous team and they exceeded our expectations in selling our rental house and acreage.  They worked with us prior to our listing with information and follow-ups to help us prepare our property.  They provided a "spot on" market analysis and stood head and shoulders above their competitors, making them an easy choice.  Bret facilitated everything we needed to bring the house to market, worked with our tenants and dealt with any issues.  Both were exceptional communicators-keeping us updated and in the loop on everything.  I would not hesitate to hire them again and highly recommend them to others looking to buy or sell rural properties in Missouri."
