Testimonials

“The morning of July 2nd, 2021, was when I saw a Facebook post by Bruce West, whom I had known for many years and worked with in the Emmaus Walk Ministry, saying that he had changed careers, was now a Realtor, and if anyone needed to buy or sell property, he’d be glad to talk to them about representation. I texted him that I was indeed interested in selling my home at Brownspur.  Bruce and Gwendolyn lived about ten miles south of me in Hollandale, just down the street from my brother Beau. He called back that afternoon and made an appointment to come by Monday to look at my homestead, which consisted of a big two-story 1898 Plantation Home, with nearly 6000 sq. ft. under roof and an 1800 sq. ft. guest house connected by a covered walkway, all on six acres, including an old-fashioned sand-bottomed Swimming Hole with a shooting range behind it. Betsy and I had listed Brownspur several times in the past few years after all our kids got out from underfoot, intending to move to smaller quarters in our Golden Years, but had never gotten a serious offer.  She had passed away suddenly the week after our 55th Anniversary, six months before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. I viewed that as an opportunity to catch it and die, to go be with Betsy, so had done absolutely nothing to the house and yard in over two years since her death.  Bruce advised me to go with a “Buy-As-Is” approach, and we signed an agreement for representation Tuesday morning. He e-mailed me Thursday morning that he was showing it to a couple at 5:30 that afternoon.  Monday morning he called to say that he had an offer, so I met him early Tuesday.  The couple had offered less than we had listed it for, but three other people had contacted him over the weekend to say they were interested in looking at Brownspur.  What did I want to do? "Let’s make them a counter-offer, halfway the difference,” I suggested.  He nodded and dialed where we stood in the parking lot of the Double Quik gas station in Leland. He never got off the phone: “They took it,” he exclaimed! I had no idea how much paperwork was involved by so many parties from North Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee, to Leland, Greenwood, Cleveland, Brownspur, to Sumner where I now live, re-married to Cindy, Betsy’s former Ole Miss roommate.  Bruce took care of dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s, thank the Lord. We closed on August 24th. What a fantastic experience it was, selling my home on the plantation I’d grown up on for 77 years, through my Realtor and Friend, Bruce West!Robert N.

I am pleased and honored to share my experience with Tom Smith Land and Homes. If you feel the time is right to sell your 'piece of heaven' call Tom Smith. Period. After enjoying our property in Holmes County for 18 years, the time had come to move in another direction. I contacted friends who all recommended Tom for the job. I called Tom about listing my property. He met me on site and came prepared to take photos and notes. Tom and I talked candidly about values. I like that. He was honest and straightforward. Within 2 weeks, my property was featured on his email blast. When I received his email blast, I called him and said my place looked so good, I didn't want to sell it anymore. Selling your place can be a difficult decision. Tom understands the connection we make to our property. I had an offer to purchase within 3 weeks of listing the property with Tom. It became apparent to me that Tom has a list of buyers looking for property. He knows how to get it done and sell your property fast. Speaking of fast. Tom introduced the buyers to me and today, we have a great relationship. I am so pleased to know that the new owners of my 'piece of heaven' are enjoying it as much as I did and are providing stewardship the property deserves. Tom sold my property so fast, I asked the new owners if I could plant their food plots for the fall hunting season as I had already purchased the seed and was not expecting the sale so quickly. The bottom line? When Robert and Rebecca Watson have property to sell, there will be only one person I call and it's Tom Smith. I highly recommend Tom Smith to sell or purchase property anywhere in Mississippi. As I write this, Tom has me on the buyers list looking for my next project. Call Tom Smith, you won't regret it.

“I am writing to you to let you know how much I appreciate Bruce West. Bruce sold my mother's home in Hollandale last summer and my property at 401 Bailey Drive in August of this year. Bruce has been amazing to work with during these sales. He is very well connected in our community and throughout the Delta. He was able to sell my building for the asking price. Bruce even helped me get the utilities transferred to the new occupants. Bruce kept me updated every time he communicated with the buyer and used humor to describe the hurdles we had to overcome during the process. I have known Bruce since 1986 and am thankful that he lives in our community.” Sylvia D. “We would like to express our deepest appreciation for Chad Wilson on the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home. Chad went over and above what we expected of a realtor. He was with us throughout all of the struggles we went through selling our existing property which were very trying at times. He never gave up on us and encouraged us not to give up on him. Without Chad’s perseverance and dedication to his profession we may have not been able to sell our property with the results we achieved. Chad also helped us tremendously on the navigation and subsequent purchase of our new home. He was with us throughout the entire process of finding a home that we wanted and through the inspection, negotiations and closing. We thank Chad for all of his hard work and his friendship throughout this time in which we will never forget!” D. and M. Thomas “I loooooved working with David Belden❤! My time sensitive relocation to Mississippi and securing my dream home could not have been a “Mission Accomplished” without David Belden. Within JUST 3 WEEKS David assisted me with my home buying process from my initial call to inquire about my home, my flight into the city to view my home and allowing me access to meet contractors and daydream to ensure that I was sure the home I selected was the ONE for me! I love that he helped me with the emotional toll of buying a home in a rural area and living out of state during this process: Every time I would have little anxiety attacks, David always remained calm and had a solution for me and the right words to calm me down. He was soooo patient and professional. I really appreciated how David went above and beyond when advising me of alternatives and options I could adjust to based on the retail and grocery shopping landscapes and adapting from a big city to small town culture (nearest Aldi 2 hours away). Once I confirmed that I was ready to make an offer, David turned into a fierce strategist and secured my place within 4 days from the initial offer to the final agreement in which I was very pleased and satisfied! David is just AMAZING! Another huge perk about David is that he selected a seasoned real estate lawyer who knows the field extremely well. I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to have had David as my Realtor! I would rate David higher than 10 if I could! I will eternally be grateful that David Belden helped me secure my beautiful home. I will definitely recommend him and if I were to purchase a home in the future, he will certainly be my real estate agent. Thank you DAVID for "BEING IN YOUR PURPOSE!"” Kim M.
