Agents – Tom Smith Land and Homes

Meet Our Agents

“
Dear Tom, Carlos and I truly appreciate you and your expertise during our pursuit of Willow Break. You were very informative and definitely had the patience with me when I had a million questions and concerns. I couldn't have imagined a better person to represent us and our interests. The house warming gifts were a nice bonus. The husband loves the koozie and uses it almost everyday! The glasses are the perfect size for a frosty beverage. We look forward to staying in touch. Best of luck in the new year.

“Tom recently sold a house and approximately 144 acres of land for us. First I will say that Tom knows land. He knows what it is worth and how to market it, and he has an organization that works to get your property sold. He also stuck with us through a complex financing arrangement that made the deal work. If you're selling land I would give Tom a call.” George N.

When my wife and I decided that we wanted to put some funds into non-paper assets, we decided on timber land. We contacted Tom Smith and met with him one evening. We knew nothing about this kind of investment and Tom patiently explained the ins and outs and how this sort of thing worked. We discussed our desires and Tom translated those into a specific type of property that we should be looking for, considering our budget. Because of our ages, we needed to find something that would be harvestable in a relatively short time. One thing you find out pretty quickly is that someone is willing to sell you a piece of timberland every hour of every day. If an agent or even an acquaintance finds out that you want timber, they will have something for you to go look at the next day. People kept asking me why I had not bought anything yet. They seemed to think it was like buying a car. You just go pick out what you want. Tom weeded out properties that did not fit our goals. We kissed a lot of frogs as we looked at different properties. They looked better on paper than they did in person. Eventually we found exactly the right piece at exactly the right price. There were a number of unforeseen difficulties in closing the deal, but Tom was right there every step of the way during the negotiating process and, with his help, we closed on the perfect investment. We could not be happier. The next time we want to buy or sell some property, Tom will be our man.

I searched the state of Mississippi for 10 years trying to find the perfect tract of land that would fit my families needs. Each tract I looked at there was something that didn't fit. I contacted Tom Smith. I explained to him what we were looking for and he smiled and said I'll find it. He changed the subject and asked me about my family, we talked about his family, we talked about hunting, business and several other things over the next hour. I was thinking he must not be very busy to take this much time with me. (Little did I know he sold more land in Ms. than anybody else) before we left I looked at Tom and said 'don't forget what I'm looking for' he laughed and said 'I will find it'. About a month later my wife and I met Tom to look at a tract of land. We loved what he had found. We looked at it several times before making an offer. Our offer was accepted and we finally found our perfect place. I told this story to let people that might read it to understand the attention that Tom pays to find you what your looking for and to emphasize Toms personable demeanor. After a year had passed my wife and I decided to build a home on our new land. Again we contacted Tom Smith Land and Homes. Tom and his wife Ellen came over to our house and we discussed the selling our home. They looked around took several pictures and then sat down on front porch and we visited. Tom and Ellen are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. It took 10 months to build our new home, I called Tom in month 8 of our construction and was ready to list our older home. Tom and Ellen took over and sold our home within 6 weeks. The staff at their office was very professional and friendly, and our closing was perfect. My wife and I not only would highly recommend Tom Smith for your land needs and home needs but consider Tom and Ellen friends. Our experience of buying and selling real-estate was a great one thanks to Tom Smith.

Tom, My family and I are enjoying the holiday at the camp you help us purchase. We have enjoyed every minute of it. The lake in front of our camp is loaded with big bass. MY BNL has caught about 20 this afternoon even though it is cold. Sitting in the deer stand waiting for a big one.

Would expect nothing less from a driven and hardworking person such as Tom. The irony here is that he probably did this more for his clients (to provide the best service possible) than to advance his business...that's just the kind of guy he his!

We recently purchased property in Raymond, MS through Tom Smith Land & Homes. The attention Tom gave to us and the seller was above and beyond the call of duty. Tom was informative on the layout of the land, had a GPS of the boundaries that we used as he drove us around the property. He also knew the history of the land. We were shown an aerial video of the property. Tom and his staff were very easy to get in contact with and had an answer for us quickly. Communications were prompt even after regular business hours. We are enjoying the land and becoming cattle farmers. We highly recommend Tom Smith Land & Homes to anyone looking to buy or sell land.
” Richard & Sherri

“A big thank you for the professional manner in which you marketed my families two properties. Your personal approach to finding out about the history and special assets of our homes was special. Marketing was over the top with the pictures and drone footage to demonstrate the beauty of our farm. Tom and Stacy worked tirelessly to overcome any problems and reassure me through the process. I would not hesitate to call Tom Smith again for my real estate needs.” Sandra Shaw P.

“Tom, We appreciate everything you've done to get us where we wanted to be and are happy with the transaction. We appreciate you and your relationships.” Craig and Brandy

“
Dear Tom, T and I both want to thank you for all the wonderful help you have given us over these last couple of years. I can't say that I know anyone who enjoys their work more than you. We consider ourselves your friends and will always be your Cook-Cobb road neighbors in our hearts. Once again, thank you and all the best to you. I'm sure our paths will cross again soon and often!

Tom, Willard and I just wanted to thank you and your staff at Tom Smith Land and Homes for the excellent job you did in selling our property in Holmes County. Tom, in our opinion you are the best in the land and home business. We would and do recommend you and your company to folks looking to sell or purchase land. After meeting with you we knew we had the right company to list our property. Your expert knowledge of land values and what was happening in the real estate market were invaluable to us. You listened to what we had to say and what we wanted. Your website and marketing strategy gave our property tremendous exposure. It wasn't on the market very long before we had an offer and sold it. Because of you and your amazing office staff, all the paperwork was done quickly and efficiently. Thanks again Tom, you have become a very good friend. I can't close this letter without giving a big THANK YOU to Ellen Smith of Tom Smith Land and Homes. Ellen helped us find a new home in Rankin County. It had been nearly 20 years since we had house hunted. Ellen worked with us tirelessly, kept us informed, showed us homes that met our list of wants and needs. We could not have asked for a more professional realtor with up to date information on the housing market. Thanks to Ellen we found our new home. Her office staff is amazing, the paperwork for closing was a breeze with her office handling it. I can truthfully say that Tom and Ellen have become good friends to us.
” Willard and Pat Rushing

We just want to take a minute to say what a pleasure it was to work with Tom Smith. He took care of us and we know we made the right choice by choosing Tom Smith Land and Homes. Not only is he up front on any questions or issues, but by the time the transaction is over you feel like you've made a friend for life. Thanks, Tom. You surely make the transition an easy one.
” Travis and Susie Hester

“I recently saw a beautiful featured property on the Land Man's website. I called to inquire and Tom answered. He immediately scheduled a showing. He spent an entire afternoon showing me that property and another in close proximity. He worked diligently to help both buyer and seller reach an agreement that pleased everyone. The transaction was seamless and went off without a glitch. Tom did a superb job of helping me find the piece of property I was looking for. I didn't expect to find such a great friend in the process. I would highly recommend Tom Smith to anyone looking to buy or sell! Thank you, Tom!” Phil Hanberry

“
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.
” Robert Watson

“Tom Smith helped us find an incredible piece of lake front property in 2015 that ended up being our home away from home. It was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway to bring friends and family. Fast forward to 2020 we decided to sell part of that property and of course called Tom. We were in the middle of getting the property listed and COVID-19 hit Mississippi hard. We decided to go ahead and try to sell it despite some fear that during such uncertain times it might stay for sale for an unlimited amount of time. Tom brought a couple to look at it within a few days. He also showed it several more times over the following 2 weeks. We were so pleasantly surprised to have an offer within weeks and it ended up being the couple that looked with him at that first showing. This family and Tom and Ellen and their team were so pleasant and easy to work with and made the inspections and closing a simple task. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Tom Smith help us in the future purchase or sell a home and/or piece of property. ” Shannon and Dan Lyle

“Knowing that we had a very unique property to sell, we did our research and decided on Tom Smith with Tom Smith Land & Homes to list it. It has been a wonderful experience! It took a little time to sell, but we knew it probably would since it was a bit of a unicorn. Tom is a professional and we trusted his guidance throughout the process. The bonus of selling property with Tom Smith Land & Homes is not just having your listing sold, but you gain a forever friendship in the process! Thank you Tom, for everything!!!” Kim & Mark C.

“Tom and Team, Many, many thanks for a job well done! We appreciate you guys so much, we did it!! The sale of the property is a burden that has been lifted off Mom, I personally am very, very satisfied with what has been accomplished. Thank you so, so much. Wishing you all the very best, we appreciate all of you!” J. Legg

“
I am highly pleased with the broker services of Tom Wiseman with Tom Smith Land and Homes in the sale of an inherited piece of property. As I do not reside in the state where the property is located, I needed professional help to sell it. This is exactly what I got. The Tom Smith Land and Homes website effectively disseminated information about the land, and it was sold in 24 days spanning a holiday period. The closing, which I was unable to attend, was all professionally handled from a distance. Communication with the real estate agent, Tom Wiseman, was simple and effective. The agency was originally recommended to me by a professional forester as an agency with expertise in selling rural land. I enthusiastically pass on the informed recommendation.
” Rebecca Kellum

“Dealing with Tom Smith and his staff was truly a pleasant experience. From the moment I contacted Tom to the closing, everything was done professionally. At one point, there was a hiccup and without question, this was solved immediately. The communication was exemplary, and I was so impressed with the brochure that Tom created in order to sell the property. He truly captured the essence of the place, and I was so appreciative. I would never hesitate in recommending this company. You will not be disappointed.” J. B. Chadwick

“
Tom, I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I appreciate you and your staff helping and guiding me to the purchase of my place. It was amazing the way I was treated from the first inquiry of the property, you and your staff went over and beyond anything I have experienced in the past from purchasing the past 7 homes I have owned. If I had a question or concern y'all were always right on top of it and got back with me within hours and not days. During the offering you were very prompt and very honest with the process. I was very impressed with your group and will recommend you and your team to any one I have contact with. Very proficient and very timely really impressed me. Again, thank you, Tom and your team, for treating me like your family and taking care of my purchase.
” Billy

“
I listed my farm property with Tom the week before Thanksgiving and he had it sold by Christmas! And, at the full listing price! Both Tom and his office staff were very knowledgeable and efficient, so closing went off without a hitch. I would recommend Tom Smith to anyone looking to buy or sell property!
” Pam McCollough, Brandon, MS

“
Susan and I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into making this closing happen today. You went above and beyond in your efforts. Ellen, thanks for being there to walk us through, and ironing out the electrical issue. You all should be proud of your company slogan 'Expect more Get more' you surely delivered on that promise. Tom, can't thank you enough for all you do. You are the Land Man! Your friendship means a lot to both of us. Praise the Lord for bringing you all into our lives. Thanks again!
” Randy & Susan

“
I have had the opportunity to work with Tom on three occasions, for two, I was the buyer and he was representing the seller and one, he represented me in selling a property. On each occasion that I was the buyer Tom presented himself in a professional manner, he was well organized and had the sellers best interest in his sight. When I decided to list a property, Tom was the first person I called and in my mind would be the only one I would contact. The way he takes a property to market is second to none. His team that works alongside him also has a high level of professionalism, excellent communication skills, and second to no one when it comes to customer service. As I remain in the market for property I will continue to use Tom and his team and would recommend him to all.
” Elmer M.

“
Tom listed our property in Northern Madison County and we closed within 7 weeks, Thanks Tom. Tom made several great suggestions about things we could do to increase the value of the property. He took the lead to get these things done and answering any questions potential buyers had. Closing was very organized and much easier than I dreamed it could be. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom Smith Land and Homes to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Tom 'The Land Man' will get it done and get you the best value possible.
” John Skains, Madison, MS

“
Tom Smith is an absolute professional who is focused on the end results. He and his firm handled much more than just brokerage for our 228 acre ranch. They were able to help clean up and maintain the property to increase its' value. I would highly recommend Tom Smith Land and Homes to anyone interested in buying or selling large tracts of land in Mississippi. Tom is the best!

“When I began searching for my forever home, I chose Anthony to be my realtor for his integrity and dedication. He truly goes above and beyond for every client. It did not matter if he was local or on another continent (literally), he put forth his best effort to answer my questions and get me closer to closing on my property. I ended up swapping mortgage companies one week from my close after receiving the disclosure papers and catching on to the fact that I was being misled. I sent Anthony a copy of the papers and he directed me to a local bank that was able to get me locked in an entire point lower and about 6k less in closing. He truly has went above and beyond when he did not have to and has always been transparent. I recommend Anthony to anyone that is searching for a property. In today’s market, transparency and integrity are a must and that is what you get when you choose Anthony Steen as your realtor.” Shanna B.

His father and grandfather helped instill the importance of and a love for taking care of the land and wildlife around him.

“Colby is an excellent realtor and a pleasure to work with. He quickly responded to our calls, patiently answered our questions and was very knowledgeable about the area. He walked us through the buying process making the experience easy and enjoyable. Our family will surely enjoy the lake front property we bought!” Mitchell & Shenia B.

“My wife, Laura, and I attempted to sell our home ourselves, but after some discouraging inquiries, we soon realized it was not something we were equipped to do on our own. Thankfully, Colby noticed our for sale-by-owner sign and reached out to me offering his services, but more importantly, he asked me if he could earn our business as our agent. I'm glad I decided to call him back as he earned our business, just as he said he would. The initial meeting and walk-thru was a positive one – we visited for some time both about the house and all of us just getting to know each other. After this wonderful first meeting, we knew we wanted to use Colby as our realtor. Working with Colby was a great experience from the initial contact to the signing of the closing documents. Colby built a relationship with us, got to know us on a personal level, earned our trust, and his advice and expertise in assisting us in making decisions was truly God-sent. He was always available and patient with our questions and concerns. Throughout the entire process, Colby provided steady, encouraging, guidance. If you are looking for an agent who will work for you, look no further than Colby – we believe you will be pleased with the results – we certainly were!” Stephen & Laura D.

“As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what to expect, but Colby made the entire process feel easy and exciting. From the very beginning, he took the time to really understand what we wanted in a home and guided us every step of the way. Colby was patient, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our endless questions. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and confident in our decisions. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, we found the perfect house that already feels like home. We are so grateful for Colby and couldn’t imagine going through this process without him! – Olivia & Anthony” Olivia & Anthony

“My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Colby to find a piece of land for purchase. He's been an absolute pleasure to work with. He communicates well and does everything he can to find exactly what folks are looking for. Our journey hasn't been without issue, my fault and nothing to do with Colby, but he just rolled with it and found the property that was right for us.” Vic M.

“Colby, I cannot find the words to express how you've changed my life and brought back the promise that there are still "awesome" people in this world! Your dedication, commitment, compassion to people and your desire in paying attention to helping them find and get the exact property for them to make a HOME is extremely extraordinary! Even through the difficult times we experienced in my situation your drive, commitment and diligence made it all worthwhile, you NEVER gave up and handled it with professionalism that is rarely found in this day and time especially in young adults as yourself. I pray Tom Smith Realty KNOWS what they have invested in you because you are the type of person people need and want to work with in such a large life decision. I can never thank you enough and hope you realize what an awesome individual you truly are.” Teresa S.

“I was in the market for some land so I reached out to an old high school friend, Colby Watson. I sent him a text to let him know that I was looking. He immediately sent a reply that he’d see what he could find. Within about eight hours he was reaching back out to me, sending over a property I may be interested in. He spoke with the other realtor and did everything needed to get it setup to go take a look. We went to cruise the property and it was just what I was looking for. After looking at an additional property down the road, I knew the first one was the one my heart was set on. He went to work right away, making calls, and getting things in order. He answered questions that I didn’t even think to ask. Making everything very easy. We put in an offer and and negotiated the contract. We stayed in contact for a few weeks until the closing date. I had a solid experience with him throughout the process as well as a smooth transaction at closing. I will recommend him to anyone of my friends or family looking for land in the future. Great realtor to do business with. A+ experience overall.” Ryan W.

“Working with Colby was a breeze. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout process. He was easy to get in touch with and timely with responses to questions that we had. We faced a few challenges that delayed our purchase, but Colby was patient and was in constant communication with us, the seller, and our lender which made life much easier on us.” Blake P.

“
The purpose of this letter is to recommend realtor, Bill Patrick. From the first time we met and he listed my Madison County property, I knew he would be a good realtor. He was always honest and consulted with me throughout the entire process. He represented me well and got me a good price for my property. He is very knowledgeable and was always available and responded to my inquiries the same day, even at night and on weekends. I am very happy with the service he gave me and will absolutely use him again for my next real estate transaction.
” Jessica Wood

“
This is a big thanks to Bill Patrick for his help in securing the purchase of a really great property that just fit my ownership desires with a creek, hardwood bottom, pines and a beautiful pond in a perfect location to provide a getaway spot for my family. I have literally looked for years and when this came up on your site Bill took the time to meet me to view the property, work the specific details as desired, and provide assistance in locating a surveyor and attorney to close the deal. Thanks for providing the web resources to search and view property details and the agent resources to make deals happen. Thrilled to have a mini-farm with all the versatility I had been looking for.
” R. Humphrey

“I just wanted to take a moment to let Mr. Bill Patrick know how much I appreciate your representation on the sale of my 12 acres of land. Mr. Patrick kept me very informed on the progression of the activity of the listing. I’m so pleased with his attention to details and keeping the stress level down as selling land can be a stressful process. Thank you so much for the quick sale and best price for my land. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Bill Patrick for your real estates needs. He is an awesome representative of your company. A Happy Customer!” Dr. West

“
This email is a short memo of what a great job Bill Patrick performed on my behalf. He was persistent and kept me informed of what was happening for better than two years, and I really do appreciate his professionalism, and just plain looking out for my best interest. My being out of state, didn't help the matter any, but Bill hung in and conducted my business as if it were his own. I'll raise a toast for Bill during this Holiday Season. Thank You for Bill!
” Rufus Hunt

“Having had the recent pleasure of selling my land and old farmhouse through your agency, I would like to give a special compliment to Bill Patrick, my realtor. The selling process was admittedly a bit arduous, and, despite disagreements between my sister and myself, Bill remained a calm and neutral party who tried to accommodate us both while juggling negotiations with multiple potential buyers. He provided us with much of his time, not to mention sharing his extensive knowledge of the business, which we put to the test. I know he must have felt frustrations of his own, but he upheld his professionalism under pressure, and this left a positive impression on me which I wanted to impart to you. I have since recommended him and your agency to more than one acquaintance searching for a realtor. I would like to add another special “thank you” to you, Tom, for your extra efforts to provide me with an informed selling experience when difficult situations arose outside of Bill’s areas of expertise, and I felt uncertain about my options. You made me feel like my concerns were important to you personally, and from that I was able to proceed feeling supported when confidence in my decisions was lacking.” Christie J.

“I appreciate the opportunity to work with you. You have been a pleasure and a gentleman during the whole process. Although, there were times things didn’t look so good for this project, your determination helped get us through. As representatives of the Estate, we are happy to have this deal done. I think we got a good price for the property, and it gets to stay “in the family”. Your patience and professional approach to all aspects of this sale is what all real estate customers should look forward to. Therefore, our profound thanks and appreciations are to Bill Patrick. Its been a pleasure.” Estate of Ms Ulmer

“Bill was fantastic to work with, and he gladly answered all my questions day or night. He's a true professional and gentleman.” Lee L.

“
We would like to express our appreciation to you and your company for the professional and friendly manner in which we experienced during a recent purchase of land in Terry, Mississippi. Your agent, Bill Patrick, did an outstanding job working with us while also working with the seller on this property. He was immediately available to show us the property and always prompt in answering our calls or questions. This process of purchasing property went smoothly because of his knowledge and eagerness to help. We would recommend your company to anyone buying or selling property. Thank you again for everything. Sincerely,
” Mr. and Mrs. Burchfield

“My family had 40 acres of timber property in Brandon for three generation. We contacted Bill Patrick for help with the sale. Bill worked closely with our family members (two estates and 4 adult children) along with our attorneys as we opened estates and got all chains of title corrected. The estate help was only one of the many, many headaches and hurdles Bill jumped through with us. There were issues with easements, more generations and court drama from the adjacent property owners, many extensions to contracts and price offers to work out to get the property sold. To say Bill worked hard for this sale would be an understatement. Bill Patrick was an excellent choice for us as selling agent. He conducted himself in a professional manner and became a friend during the year long process. After the closing in Brandon, which I attended, Bill and I discovered we had many childhood friends in common. I knew his Dad and also had great respect for him. I have made a friend in Bill. It was a pleasure doing business with Bill. I will not hesitate to recommend him in real estate matters, and will call on him if needed for future transactions.” Merrill M.
Bill Patrick

Bill was born and raised on a farm in Scott County, Mississippi. His family farm had cotton, soy beans, cattle and hogs. It was there on his family‘s farm that he gained knowledge and respect for the land that God provided. During his high school years, Bill’s understanding and love of the farm grew as he began showing cattle and hogs at local livestock shows. After high school, he graduated from Mississippi State University and spent many years as a CPA. During this time as a CPA, Bill’s heart remained on the outdoors, so, in 1999, Bill began a lawn service business. Several years ago he became a Realtor with Tom Smith Land and Homes where he works with buyers and sellers, always seeking to turn them in to satisfied clients. Bill resides in Brandon with his wife, Ardith, where he enjoys hunting, fishing and just simply being outdoors. His love of the outdoors, combined with his reputation of honesty, integrity and hard work, is what qualifies Bill to be able to help you with all of your real estate needs. Give Bill a call when you are ready to buy or sell, he will be there to help every step of the way!

“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

“Yes, I would highly recommend your company to anyone. Yes, I would gladly use Chad Wilson to represent me in future real estate transactions. Yes, you guys exceeded my expectations. Just keep up the good work. Communication was clear throughout the entire process. Chad was phenomenal at handling my complicated property sale, from start to finish. He kept constant communication when anything meaningful was occurring. He was patient, kind, professional, knowledgeable, and understanding of unique situations. Congratulations, Chad, on a job well done!” Anonymous

“We chose Tom Smith Land and Homes because we saw how well they marketed other properties. David Belden and Dale Wilds exceeded our expectation at every step of the process. They advised us on each step and were willing to help us achieve the goals to help sale. The marketing and pictures were wonderful and helped sale the property quickly. We would recommend their team to anyone selling property. We were very happy and pleased with David, Dale and Tom Smith Land!” John W.

“I recently had the desire to purchase a piece of property in Mississippi. Being from Louisiana, working a fulltime job, my time and travel were extremely important to me in this process. By chance I reached out to Tom Smith Land and Homes by telephone. I was greeted promptly by an associate. After relaying to the associate what I was hunting and the areas that I was interested in, they referred me to Mr. David Belden. I reached out to Mr. David. Mr. David was extremely professional and extremely patient. David was extremely prompt in responding to phone calls and always got back with information in a timely manner. After getting lots of information from me, to make sure that he truly understood what we were wanting, David contacted me with some proposed properties. (lots of options). After my wife and I sorted through our potentials, David worked around our schedule to accommodate showings in our time frame. David was extremely knowledgeable of not only the areas but zoning, power and water concerns, easements and right of way concerns. David took us to a few properties and after a small amount of discussion, he knew exactly which one to show us. A short drive later he showed us the perfect property that was exactly in our budget and what we were wanting. Then David really showed us why you want him to be your realtor. David did the leg work. He had the legal team do all the proper vetting, he researched and gave us all the contact information to ensure that we could get all of the utilities and permits. David stayed in communication with us the entire time. David made sure that the closing went without a hitch. Everyone that we delt with at the Tom Smith Land and Homes group was extremely friendly and professional. We now have our dream property and are in the construction phase. And, David has not forgotten us. Service after the sale. He has called us back a couple of times just to make sure that things are going good. Not only would I use David again for any of my realty or land needs, but I have already referred him to one of my coworkers that is hunting property.” Raymond H.

“My wife and I recently sold and bought a home using David Belden. He easily found the perfect area and home for us in a great neighborhood. He also guided us on the sale of our old home. We had several showings scheduled for the morning our house landed on the market, and an offer at the end of the day that we accepted. David went over and above when some bumps in the road came up during the closing of our old home. He kept us in the loop nearly everyday and even secured additional earnings on our home after several delays in closing from the buyers. He was always available for questions and quickly found answers for aspects when he was uncertain. We would highly recommend David to our family and friends in the future!” The Princiotta's

“I want to let you know how happy and appreciative I was for David Belden and your agency and everything y’all did for me getting my land sold. David did not disappoint!! He jumped at the challenge, and it was a challenge with a few hurdles to get through, but he was awesome!! He was very professional and considerate. David had my best interest from the very start and I enjoyed working with him! I will definitely give Tom Smith Land and Homes high praise and a referral to anyone I know who is in the market to buy or sell!” C. Goode

“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.

“Tom, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your company handling the sale of our 132 acres in the Barlow community of Copiah County, MS. David Belden was the agent and he was great to work with throughout the process. He kept me fully informed of every aspect - from showings to potential offers. He explained everything as we went along and was very easy to talk to and understand. David always seemed dedicated to doing what was right for us - and, in fact, got more per acre for the land than what we were told we could get when we listed the land. He was thorough and conscientious in all of my dealings with him, which was very important to me because I live out of state. Again, thank you and your company - and especially David for his great work in getting our land sold and at a price we are very pleased with. I have told David thank you for all of his hard work in putting this deal together, but I would appreciate your letting him know, also.” W. Jackson

“David Belden did a great job showing my husband and me homes that met both of our wish lists. He was available for showings when we were available, and quickly was able to get us viewings at homes we wanted to see from browsing on our own. He was determined to help us get in to a great home for our family. I was also so happy to have David on my side of negotiations; he was truly there for us and honest throughout the process. I definitely recommend David!” K. Simmons

“I want to tell about my excellent experiences in dealing with Michael Halfacre over many years. I have been doing business with Michael for at least 20 or more years. In his capacity as a registered consulting forester, he has aided me in managing my timber and in bringing buyers to the table when it was time to sell timber. Michael has also been very pleasant to work with, professional and hard working when I enlisted his services to sell several of my properties. He actively promoted my land and was successful in making the sales, the most recent of which were 2 parcels of timber/recreational land in Attala County, MS. I can recommend Michael's services without reservation. Feel free to use me as a reference.” W Ford, MD

“I just wanted to take a minute to let you know what a great agent you have in Michael Halfacre. I worked with Mr. Halfacre a few years ago while purchasing 3 acres with cabins in Choctaw county, then again recently when I decided to sell the property. He has been so responsive and easy to work with, both from the side of a buyer and seller. It has been a joy to get to work with him!” Cristi S.

“I wanted to thank you personally for all the work you and Michael did bringing our property to market and then selling it in a reasonable time. We have found Michael Halfacre to be such a great advisor over the years and we are so happy that he recommended you to us. All the photos (overhead and other photos) did so much to help sell our property...such a great idea! A picture’s definitely worth a thousand words. Thanks again for all the work you did...what a great way to start a new year. Happy 2021!” Susan Steinberg

“I am writing in regard to the recent sale of my farm by Michael Halfacre. Specifically, I want to express my appreciation to Michael and to Tom Smith Land and Homes for the excellent result achieved on my behalf. Michael immediately went to work to answer my questions and provide well-reasoned analysis and practical advice on various issues including land, timber and recreational use valuation; allocation of sale proceeds between multiple parties, and whether to market certain tracts together or separately. Michael’s professionalism and experience were apparent at the onset as were his good character and genuine concern for my best interest. In sum, Michael timely sold multiple tracts totaling 654 acres for “my number”. I was kept informed and made the final decision, but the credit for this outstanding result goes to Michael and his hard work, experience and knowledge. Thanks again. Job Well Done!” Ron C.

“Tracey helped me with both buying and selling my home, and I couldn’t have done it without her. I wasn’t living in the area, so she handled everything for me with professionalism and care. She was always available, knew the market well, and most importantly—she was someone I could truly trust. I highly recommend her!” Don K.

“I had an excellent experience working with Tracey Bell. From our first meeting, she was very professional, knowledgeable, kind, patient, and responsive. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made the entire selling process quick, smooth, and stress-free. Tracey has a deep understanding of the local house market and offered valuable insights that helped me make confident decisions. She pays attention to details and has strong negotiation skills, and makes clear and consistent communication. I always felt informed and supported. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy real estate professional.” Junwing S.

“Tracey Bell was literally the shining light during our two year journey. I am so grateful to have had Tracey in our corner helping us fulfill our dreams of owning our first home. She does not give up on what you want, is honest (definitely some of the best advice I’ve have ever received) and hardworking. She is there for you and truly understands. Thank you again Tracey, we wouldn’t have made it here without you!” Chris D. and Christina B.

“Those who are closest to me knew that Hugh and I found a house and our offer had been accepted, and we were in the beginning stage of buying our first home together when he went to heaven. I was at such a loss not knowing whether to move forward or just back out, so I prayed for God to give me wisdom and clarity. I can't say that I felt at peace about it, but what I did know is that if it wasn't God's will for me, he wouldn't let it happen. I lived in an obstacle course of boxes for over two months. Yesterday I closed on the house by myself. It was bittersweet without Hugh, but I know in my heart he was smiling big. I can't end this without mentioning my amazing realtor, Tracey Bell at Tom Smith Land and Homes. She knew I was struggling with a new normal and she was patient and available for whatever I needed. Tracey stopped by and brought me a housewarming plant today and she reminded me that I would always have the memory of Hugh and I picking out this house together. I have so many projects/plans that I'm looking forward to doing on the house as I start this new chapter of my life.” Wendy B.

“Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but working with Tracey Bell made the entire process smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. From our very first meeting, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. She walked me through every step, kept me informed, and always made me feel like I was her top priority. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, my house sold quickly and at a great price. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and gets results, I highly recommend Tracey Bell.” Seth C.

“Tracey is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with! I have bought and sold 5 houses and wish I had known her sooner. She listened to me and worked tirelessly to accomplish my goals with the sale of my home and acreage. Highly recommend!” Michelle M.

“Tracey was great to work with! As a first-time buyer, I had tons of questions and she answered them all with patience. Great communication, super responsive, and worked around the clock to help me find my home. Highly recommend!” John O.

“Tracey Bell was an AWESOME agent! She always answered her phone and replied to texts and emails swiftly. Tracey had a really good understanding of the local market and I’d use her again the next time I buy or sell a home. Highly recommended!” Kelli D.

“I appreciate Tracey Bell and the job she did. I have recommended Tom Smith Land and Homes and Tracey to others.” T. Brewer

“After a year of house hunting, we can’t thank Tracey Bell enough for all her hard work and help!” Sarah and Michael W.

A Cleveland, Mississippi native, Tracey Bell was raised in the family furniture business by her parents, Becky and Gary Garrett. After graduating from Bayou Academy, she attended the University of Mississippi and later earned her degree in Business Management from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Tracey has lived in Nashville, TN; Beverly Hills, CA; Destin, FL; and Whitefish, MT—but she’ll be the first to tell you there’s no place like home, and certainly no place like the Mississippi Delta!
Tracey began her real estate career in 2004 flipping houses and soon discovered her passion for helping others achieve their real estate goals. She earned her Florida real estate license in 2012, Mississippi license in 2015, and her Mississippi Broker’s license in 2019. Today, she manages numerous rental properties and works with clients across residential, commercial, and land transactions. Tracey is a member and previous board president as well as treasurer of the Cleveland Board of Realtors, the Mississippi Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, the Realtor Land Institute, and is a graduate of the Mississippi Realtor Institute.
In addition to her real estate work, Tracey and her husband, Warren Bell, are deeply rooted in the community. Warren is an attorney, judge, farmer, and landlord, and together they own and operate rental properties and farmland in the Delta. Their family is equally involved—two of their sons work on the farm, one son is building his own career in real estate, their oldest daughter is a nurse, and their youngest daughter attends Ole Miss.
Tracey’s business is built on professionalism, integrity, and genuine relationships. Her extensive knowledge of the local market, strong work ethic, and hands-on approach make her a trusted advisor to both buyers and sellers. Whether managing properties, guiding clients through negotiations, or investing in her community, Tracey brings energy, expertise, and a true love for the Delta to everything she does.
She works hard, plays hard, and believes in leading by example—teaching her children that no job is too big or too small when it comes to family, work, or community.
Call Tracey today—she’s ready to work for you!

“Thank you so much for sending Tom Wiseman my way to sell our land in Monroe County, MS. He is knowledgeable, efficient and so nice. I am very pleased with Mr. Wiseman’s care and efforts to make a good deal. With all the twists and turns, he kept us informed all along the way. Even though our parcel of land was small, I felt that he treated us as well as any with a vast number of acres. Thanks for a great experience.” Beth Pegram

“A friend of mine actually recommended Michael Oswalt to me and from day one I was very impressed with how thorough he was and “the plan” that he laid out for our land sale. Michael also introduced me to Tom Wiseman because he lived in close proximity to my land and would be available to show it in a more timely manner. We had our land listed with another company for a year and Tom Smith Land and Homes was heads and tails above the other company. From coming up with a brochure to listing the land for sale in so many different locations, all led to immediate showings! Our situation was a very difficult one to manage and both Michael and Tom handled it all with the greatest knowledge and finesse. Tom particularly kept me up to date with everything that was going on, sometimes on a daily basis! I highly recommend Tom Wiseman and Michael Oswalt for all of your land sale needs.” M. Brock

“Mr Tom listed our land one day, sold it the next day. I asked him what took so long? If I have more real estate to sell Tom Wiseman would be my first call.” Bobby T.

“Mr Tom Wiseman listed our land one day, sold it the next day. I asked him what took so long? If I have more real estate to sell Tom Wiseman would be my first call.” B. Thomas

“The morning of July 2^nd, 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 55^th 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 24^th. 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 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 are officially homeowners! This has been the longest four months, but it is so worth it! Bruce West and Charlie Heinsz have been the best help with this and we couldn’t thank them enough! All the prayers have been answered for this home and now it’s moving time!” Ashley and Hestin

“My husband and I are first time homebuyers and had the most wonderful experience with Emerson. We didn't know much going into the process and we were extremely nervous and fearful that we may get taken advantage of. Emerson was so kind, integral, honest and helpful. He was always there for us. He instantly made us feel comfortable and I could always tell he wanted what was BEST for us. He listened so well and anytime I called, he answered or called back immediately. There were so many little moments in the process that reassured me that God sent Emerson to us. My husband and I were very fortunate to have Emerson. He really is a virtuous person with a beautiful soul. The experience was truly a great one. I've already been telling a few friends that are looking to buy homes about him. I feel like everyone around me should buy a house with Emerson as their realtor. You just don't meet integral, loving people, like him everyday. Especially when you're making the biggest purchase of your life. I could go on and on but I think I made my point, Emerson is an AMAZING realtor!” Ashely and Jonathan B.
Emerson Lovelace

Emerson is a fifth generation native of the Mississippi Delta dating back to the late 1800’s. With strong family ties in the Indianola Commercial Real Estate Market, Emerson manages and consults both clients and prospective clients on real estate opportunities in and around Sunflower County, MS.

After graduating from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 1998, Emerson spent a year enjoying the mountains of Aspen, Colorado which proved to be a much-needed prospective change for his future plans. His first job in real estate would be realized in Denver, Colorado as a real estate mortgage consultant, followed by six years managing a successful financial futures trading group at the Chicago Board of Trade.

As a consultant with his late father’s firm Lovelace Real Estate Investments, Emerson built a successful real estate investment portfolio he proudly manages to this day.

Over the course of his professional career in real estate finance, sales, consulting and management, nothing is more important to Emerson than the fiduciary relationship with his clients.

“Kadero reached out to me about a piece of land I had listed and immediately took the lead on getting it sold. He was incredibly knowledgeable and proactive from start to finish, and he communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Even when we hit a few bumps along the way, he worked with everyone involved to keep things moving forward. Thanks to his dedication, we made it to the closing table smoothly. I’m so grateful to finally have this behind me, and I truly appreciate all of Kadero’s hard work!” Cassandra S.

“I couldn't have done it without him. He had obstacles everywhere but with his experience and professionalism he handled it calmly and respectfully, also just to say the Sellers agent also commented on how well he did with purchase of Cabin.. I've enjoyed working with him and hopefully will again when another cabin comes available and if I know anyone looking for land or house, he will be the first as a referral. Also, for him to take me on as a client where he had to drive 2 hrs. each way, I'm very thankful. If he was registered in Alabama, he'd be the one I call on to sell my house here when I do.. Again, he's a great guy and was excited just as I was with the cabin I chose, and I look forward to him visiting to do some fishing in lake in back yard..” Steve F.

“Thank you, Sam, for all your help throughout this process. You stayed persistent and knowledgeable during the entire duration of the listing and sell. We couldn’t have done it without you. I’ll be recommending you to my friends.” Tyler W.

“Sam, thank you so much for everything. You went above and beyond and sorta pulled off a real estate miracle. I never DREAMED we’d have that house sold in 3 months. I knew from get-go I wanted you as my realtor because I know you’re a Christian, you’re honest, and you know the area. That decision paid off. I appreciate everything you did for me. 🏆” Quinn M.

“Sam, you have represented me to your FULLEST and BEST EFFORT!!! A lot of other realtors and brokers could learn something from you about this, being ethical, and where their fiduciary responsibilities should be. You are one of the few TRUE LAND PROFESSIONALS in the business!” Stan S.

“We will list the property with Tom Smith Land and Homes and the Realtor’s name working with me is Sam Sample. He is a great guy and one of the many things I like about Mr. Sam is he has the best interest of the seller but also the buyer. He will treat you right!” Joe B

“Mr. Sample, I am royally impressed with your marketing material for my property!! I never saw anything close to this undertaking by the previous realtor. It looks great, a remarkable marketing endeavor. Thank you!” Ed

“Thank you so much for your assistance and professionalism through this process. I really appreciate it. ” Ms. Bowden

“
Dear Mr. Smith, Recently I contacted your office concerning one of your listings. I was directed to Sam Sample. Sam and I arranged to meet and we looked at several properties. Unfortunately, I purchased a track not listed by your company. Sam was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He is a credit to your company. If I or someone I know looks for property again, I will contact Sam. Truly yours,
” R.Z.

“
It was an absolute pleasure working with you, Sam, and we cannot thank you and the Tom Smith Land and Homes team enough. We appreciate your professionalism and patience with us during the whole process. We went into selling the 40 acres without having a clue regarding how the process works and after much debating we elected to allow you to sell the property and you really made us look like we knew what we were doing! I can list a lot of reasons we are happy with the service you provided but a few that come to mind was your availability, your explanation during the different phases, your patience with my lack of fully understanding the process and your advice from the beginning to the end. Also, we truly appreciated that you not only had the best interest of the seller in mind but the best interest of the buyer, too and that is something that we consider very rare and special. If the day comes when we decide to buy another property, Tom Smith Land and Homes and you will be our first and only call! Thank you for everything and God Bless!

” Mr. and Mrs. Brewer

Testimonials

“Tom and Team, Many, many thanks for a job well done! We appreciate you guys so much, we did it!! The sale of the property is a burden that has been lifted off Mom, I personally am very, very satisfied with what has been accomplished. Thank you so, so much. Wishing you all the very best, we appreciate all of you!” J. Legg “

Tom, My family and I are enjoying the holiday at the camp you help us purchase. We have enjoyed every minute of it. The lake in front of our camp is loaded with big bass. MY BNL has caught about 20 this afternoon even though it is cold. Sitting in the deer stand waiting for a big one.

” Anonymous “I highly recommend Lindsay Williams of Tom Smith Land And Homes! Working with Lindsay made the home-buying process smooth and stress-free. From the first showing to closing, she explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home. We felt supported every step of the way and are so grateful for her expertise and patience.” Molly E. “A friend of mine actually recommended Michael Oswalt to me and from day one I was very impressed with how thorough he was and “the plan” that he laid out for our land sale. Michael also introduced me to Tom Wiseman because he lived in close proximity to my land and would be available to show it in a more timely manner. We had our land listed with another company for a year and Tom Smith Land and Homes was heads and tails above the other company. From coming up with a brochure to listing the land for sale in so many different locations, all led to immediate showings! Our situation was a very difficult one to manage and both Michael and Tom handled it all with the greatest knowledge and finesse. Tom particularly kept me up to date with everything that was going on, sometimes on a daily basis! I highly recommend Tom Wiseman and Michael Oswalt for all of your land sale needs.” M. Brock “Sam, thank you so much for everything. You went above and beyond and sorta pulled off a real estate miracle. I never DREAMED we’d have that house sold in 3 months. I knew from get-go I wanted you as my realtor because I know you’re a Christian, you’re honest, and you know the area. That decision paid off. I appreciate everything you did for me. 🏆” Quinn M.
