"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."

Bret was "extremely knowledgeable about the property as well as the surrounding area in general. He went the extra mile to make sure we saw all of the property by walking us through the woods and driving us around on the property even though it had rained and the weather was not ideal. Other realtors would have rescheduled or sent us on our own to explore. He was helpful in reaching out to others to help answer questions to make sure we had info to make an informed decision. Both Bret and Malissa were incredibly helpful throughout this process. We cannot thank them enough."

He has a unique ability to provide up-to-date information in a timely, organized fashion. I have purchased property from Brett & he just recently sold not only my property but my adjoining neighbor’s property as well in just under one months’ time frame. If Bret is your agent, you can rest assured that he is going to work harder than any other land specialist that you will find.

"He worked for us. I know that seems like an odd statement, but here are the facts: 1. He listened to our dreams. We were limited in funds and he sought out everything that would be a fit for us. 2. He was prompt in calling us with a new listing. On the farm we purchased, he called us on a Friday when he learned of it, we saw it 2 days later with him, we immediately (on a Sunday) went to his office and put a contract on it. If things would not have happened that quickly, we could not have purchased our farm."
