Agents – Tom Smith Land and Homes

Meet Our Agents

“
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.

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!

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 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.

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

“
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.

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.

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, 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

“
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

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.

” Travis and Susie Hester

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.

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!
” S. Kocurek, Managing Director, The PNL Companies

“
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

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.
” David Moak

“
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

“
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!

Bo Burkes is the most land-knowledgeable and responsive property realtor we've ever worked with. We were casually looking for a mini-farm, when we found our dream 100-acres. Realizing that time was of the essence on this desirable Starkville parcel, we contacted the seller's agent - Bo Burkes. We were reluctant because we hadn't engaged a realtor to work with us. But from the first time of we talked to Bo, we could tell he had our backs. He explained how a dual-agency agreement works, and we felt Bo was a fair representative for us and for the sellers through the whole process. More importantly, Bo was thorough in explaining every detail of the property from easements to drainage to surveys, helping us to make a well-informed decision. He helped us zero in on a fair offer that had a likelihood of being well received by the sellers. We got the property! And, it was a low-stress transaction because of Bo's competence and timeliness on every shred of paperwork. Tom Smith has a superstar on his Starkville team with Bo Burkes. Buyers nor sellers could find a more energetic or proactive agent. Great experience.

I wanted to take this opportunity to let folks know just what an outstanding land agent they have in Bo Burkes. I've known Bo for several years and we met when he purchased land from me. Bo was a pleasure to deal with and we maintained contact. When I was ready to purchase land, Bo stepped up to help. I had a pretty specific set of guidelines for the property I was looking for, and Bo did a great job of locating good prospects. Even when I got off-base, Bo would investigate just in case it might turn out to be –the one. After 9 months of searching, we finally found it, and Bo took care of all the details _ from recommending great home inspectors, attorneys and financial representatives, to helping find just the right tractor. Bo is patient, intelligent, and thinks ahead _ always while putting my interests first. I've gotten to know him pretty well and find him to be a true family man. He's served our country in the Armed Forces, he's served his community, and I'm proud of him and proud to know him.

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank Bo Burkes for doing an excellent job in representing Wilma and I in selling our 14.50 acres in Starkville. I must say it was in record time, from listing to actually closing...I think was less than 45 days. I truly appreciate the follow up and professionalism that was shown in the entire process. We will always be very grateful for Bo's help in selling this property. Thanks so much.

“Mr. Michael Mitchell recently sold land for me in Soso, Mississippi. I want to share with you my experience with him. The very first time that I spoke with Mike was in April of this year, I felt so comfortable talking with him and exploring selling my land. The initial call was an interview for me to judge whether or not I wanted to do business with him. Well, I made up my mind with the first call. Mike began research on my land, went and walked it, sent paperwork and maps to me so fast, before we even had an agreement. He is very patient and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and listened very intently to my concerns. He always kept me apprised of every offer and telephone calls of inquiries. There is not enough space in cyberspace for me to express my sincere gratitude. I really appreciate all that he did to bring my transaction to closing. Mike's work ethic to me seemed like non stop because he was so prompt and responsive to me. I know that he had many other clients, however, I was treated like the only one he had. He used all technology available to communicate updates and I never had to wonder or worry about status updates. I wish that we had more good and ethical people like him in this world. He is so very nice and kind and he is a new friend of mine! Thank you for taking the time to read my sincere comments about Mr. Michael Mitchell.” Barbara Dunlap

Michael helped us from day one! Fast acting and professional! Always stayed in contact and made our selling process effortless and simple!
” Z. Crowley

“
I just helped my elderly uncle in Florida sell some land by Camp Shelby and used Mike Mitchell as my Realtor. I talked to another agent first and I knew it wouldn't be a good fit. Call me crazy or old-fashioned...but I still prefer to do business with people who answer their own phone in a timely manner, use good manners, do what they say they will do and when they say, keep me informed and are even trustworthy, patient, kind and personal. That is a lot to ask these days but I got all of that from the first minute until a month after he closing from Mike Mitchell. Yes I did. What a pleasure he was and my uncle was also really impressed. I'm sure you already knew Mike was great but I'm just reminding you.
” Natalie J.

My wife and I met Michael Mitchell in March 2017 and signed a contract on a Wednesday. He listed it and on Saturday we were under contract; from listing to sold in 45 days. Great man and great real estate agent!

Michael Mitchell handled the sale of land in my mother's estate. He acted with the utmost professionalism. In fact, we had two offers within one week of his listing the property. I especially appreciated that he kept in touch with both the estate attorney and with me on a regular basis. He saw the process through all the way. I can recommend him without hesitation.
” K. Dieterich

“I would highly recommend your company to anyone buying or selling land. Michael Mitchell was a pleasure to do business with. The only thing I would advise him to do is drop the Mississippi State thing and get a little “HOTTY TODDY” in his step. Other than that, he is top notch!” Dyle Daughdrill

“Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the services provided by Michael Mitchell. I was very impressed with his work ethic, dedication and guidance during this process. Mr. Mitchell ’s professionalism and attention to detail resulted in a quick sale of the house. He went the “Second Mile” in serving us. Sincerely, Pattie Brantley” Pattie Brantley

Tom, I just wanted you to know how thrilled and grateful I am with the results of doing business with your real estate agent, Joel McKee! I started working with him back in July to find land and he was great to work with! We closed on our property today in Neshoba County and could not have asked for a better real estate agent. His comprehensive knowledge of the property we bought and him showing us the property was beyond my expectations. He wanted to make sure that we knew everything about the land that we were considering buying. We could tell that he was not just trying to make a sell he wanted to make sure we bought something we were happy with! Thanks for having such wonderful staff to work with!

Michael Oswalt, Mike and I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into selling our property. Mike appreciated the calls and texts to keep him informed when you were showing the property. Thank you again for all you did for us. Sincerely,
” Mike and Carolyn Bowles

“
We were very pleased with the personal service and promptness throughout our time working with Michael Oswalt. His thorough business sense made things work smoothly. We would not hesitate to use Michael in any future land transactions, he was a pleasure to work with.

Dear Michael O., I wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to be able to have you as a Realtor. Thank you for spending your time and offering the professional customer service any client could ask for by helping me and my family make the right decision on a good place to hunt with a great group of people. I never knew it could be so easy. Thank you, I can honestly say you take time and pride in what you love to do. Thanks for being genuine and a man of your word, that goes along way. Thanks,
” Alan

We wanted to thank Michael Oswalt for helping us find some hunting land to buy. He worked hard to find the right place for us even though we were very selective. We appreciate all the time he spent showing us properties and all of his efforts to find the right land for us. We want to thank Michael for being so responsive to our calls. We definitely recommend Michael and Tom Smith Land and Homes to anyone looking to buy land. Michael makes the process as easy as possible.

I have had the privilege of using Michael Oswalt as my personal agent. I have been a buyer and a seller. He demonstrated knowledge and patience in handling complex issues while delivering positive results.

“Michael, I wanted to to tell you how much we appreciated all the work you did for Shirley and myself. You made our purchase of buying our equity share in this hunting club very pleasant. When we inquired about it you answered all our questions we had. Then you took us to see the property and you let the property sell its self. The best thing was you are not a pushy sales man you let us make up our minds. Unlike some salesman I have dealt with in the past. But you were there through the whole time with answers to our questions and you gave us whatever information we needed.” Steve and Shirley Bleakney

“Michael, Just wanted to says thanks for the great job you did for us, you didn't just promise to sell our property, but you delivered, in less than 30 days!! I couldn't believe how fast you got it done especially when another agency had it for over eight months with no success. I would definitely recommend you and Tom Smith Land and Homes from the start! Thanks Again!!” Garry & Angie Culver

My wife and I recently purchased a home with acreage in Lafayette county. Michael Oswalt with Tom Smith Land & Homes served as the realtor in facilitating the purchase. We found Michael to be knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. We would recommend him highly for anyone interested in purchasing or selling rural property in our area.
” Donald P. Brannan, M.D.

“
My wife and I live in South Louisiana and have been looking for two years for a small tract of land to hunt on in North Mississippi. I found out about this property through a facebook post. I immediately knew it was the place for us and I contacted Michael Oswalt. He was honest in his assessment of the property and the advertising on www.TomSmithLandandHomes.com was accurately portrayed. Michael worked with us every step of the way, even as we made an offer on something we had not looked at in person. I knew from the moment I talked to Michael on the phone that I could trust his guidance and word and that he was not just trying to sale a piece of property. He asked questions ensuring that this place was right for us. Michael was extremely patient as he answered our questions all the way up to the closing. His contact and professional relationship with the agents at Mississippi Land Bank made it that much easier for us to secure a low interest loan. We tentatively set a closing date for a month out and were able to close in less than two weeks. We are extremely excited to now have our own slice of heaven. If anyone is looking for their slice of heaven, you can't go wrong by giving Michael Oswalt a call at Tom Smith Land and Homes.

There are hundreds of real estate agents that are very happy to 'list' your land for sale and some may be successful. Michael Oswalt doesn't just list properties for sale, he markets your property to select buyers interested in your type land. I had listed with two other agents with no success before Michael contacted me. The other listings had expired. He prepared a professional presentation on my land with all specifics and produced a buyer in a very short time. I proudly recommend Michael Oswalt with Tom Smith Land and Homes for any and all your land sale needs. A very professional land sales broker.
” J. Bain (Retired real estate broker)

“5/5 stars for Michael Oswalt!! Michael has helped me over the past five months in the purchasing of a hunting track. Instead of pushing me into a purchase, Michael actually slowed me down to ensure I was getting a fair deal and even advise staying away from some overpriced land. It was nice working with a realtor that is developing long-term and mutually beneficial relationships instead of earning a quick buck. Will use Michael next time I buy rural land.” Zach Purvis

“
We just want to say thank you, Michael Oswalt, for everything. You may have been the agent seller but we are so glad we decided to go with you as well. You were able to answer questions, provide information & meet with us at our convenience (since we were 2 hours away). We could not have found our dream property without you.
” Blake & Erin Murphy

“I recently purchased some land that was brokered by Michael Oswalt. I enjoyed working with Michael. He was pleasant, honest, fair and above board on all his dealings. He did everything that he said he would and did it in a timely fashion. It does not matter if you are buying or selling, if these are the qualities you desire in a land broker, I would highly recommend Michael Oswalt.” J. Walker

“Michael was very knowledgeable of land and timber value and other issues related to purchasing a recreational property. He thoroughly conveyed our desires and thoughts to the seller. He truly understood what we were looking for in a recreational property and we are so grateful for the assistance he provided!” Brian and Robin Doctor

“
My wife and I recently closed on one of your properties that was listed by Mr. Michael Oswalt. We could not be more pleased with the highly professional manner in which Michael approached every aspect of this transaction. We especially appreciated the assistance that Michael provided since we were relocating to Mississippi from out of state and were not in the local area to attend to many of the necessary details. Michael made the process easy and totally free of complications. Michael ranks as one of the most dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professionals with whom we have ever dealt. When you add to that his highly honest and ethical approach to the representation of his clients, one could not ask for more. Michael is an outstanding representative of your company and is a great asset to your clients.
” Kevin McNeill, MD

“
I just closed the deal on some recreational land that was listed by Tom Smith Land. I had the privilege of working with Michael Oswalt, Associate Broker, on the deal. Michael was very helpful. He truly represented both Seller and Buyer. Michael was quick to supply me with good info about the property, patient with me walking and looking around while showing me the property and helpful with advice about things to possibly do after I bought the property. Michael made buying the property easy. I hope I get to work with him again some day.
” Bob

“My wife and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Tom Smith Land and Homes and agent Michael Oswalt for the efficient process in which the sale of our property was handled. A real relationship with Michael was extremely professional, we appreciated the effort and information he provided. The sale was handled smoothly and in a timely manner. Our best regards, Jack and Love Mathews” Jack and Love Mathews

“
Michael Oswalt was great! He is friendly, knowledgeable of the market and thorough in communicating information. I was looking to upsize to a larger piece of property, and living 3 hours away, needed to make the most of my visit(s). The day we met to discuss selling my place, we walked the property completely, sat down to discuss market values and he listed all pertinent information he needed from me. After we finished, we drove 20 miles up the road so Michael could show me a new listing that I was interested in. Several calls, texts and emails later, we met again, 23 days after our first meeting, to close on the property I was selling. It was a pleasure doing business with Michael, and now, I not only have a broker that I can depend on to help me find a larger piece of land, but, also a new friend.
” Jason

“Michael Oswalt was our Realtor of choice to list a cabin and share at Ward Lake hunting camp in the Mississippi Delta. His reputation as a land specialist is accurate as he maintains a broad network for marketing to the perfect buyer for this kind of property. His knowledge and attention to detail are unmatched. The incredible drone footage he provides makes you feel like you are taking a tour of the property in person. Michael will always be our Realtor for everything land or hunting.” Melanie Johnson

“
I would like to thank Tom Smith Land and Homes and especially Michael Oswalt for helping my wife and I with our recent land purchase. Michael was very professional, prompt and understanding of our concerns and questions. This being our first land purchase, we were thoroughly impressed. Once again, thanks to Tom Smith Land and Homes and Michael for their help. Thank You,
” Aaron Evans

“
Michael, I want to sincerely thank you for all your help, advice, expertise, and patience over the last four months in helping me purchase the land and historic home in Crystal Springs. I'm sure this was a little more challenging and took a little longer than any of us could have imagined. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you answering my many, many phone calls, text messages, and emails. And, I also appreciate all the many phone calls that you made and conversations that you had on my behalf. I needed so much guidance through this process and you were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, honest, and patient . . . all the time. I'm looking forward to fun times ahead in the country! Thank you for being a huge part of making my dream become a reality.

“
We would like to thank Michael Oswalt for his help during the purchase of our land. He was very honest from the beginning and made sure we were taken care of. This process was way better than our previous one with a different realtor. Thank you, Michael for your help.

“
I have used Michael O. for two multi-million dollar land deals, one buying and one selling. I could not be more pleased with both. He is very passionate and worked extremely hard to get both deals done if ever in the need for any other land deals, he will be the first I call on the first I recommend.
” Chad Blalack

“I have had the pleasure of working with Michael for roughly the last 18 months as he was helping me with a property of mine that was not easy to sell. Michael has been the consummate professional and has worked tirelessly up through the sales closing/completion. He has done everything from periodically check on the property to interact with local landowners (I live out of state) to help organize contracting work to upgrade the land. Absolutely top level Realtor. Totally reliable, highly motivated, always available. Highest recommendation possible!” Jim Phillips

“When looking for potential hunting property I worked with Michael Oswalt. As we looked across North Mississippi, showing properties listed, Michael kept probing questions to narrow down my search. He took me in a direction I would not have thought. The Mississippi River. It never crossed my mind, but I am certainly glad he did. I couldn’t have asked for a better recommendation that has worked out so well. I would highly recommend you meet with Michael to seek your hunting land needs.” Paul Wood

“
Michael I just wanted to thank you so much for all of your hard work!! You were amazing to work with. A tremendous burden has been lifted from us thanks to you. To be honest, I never thought that the land would ever sell, but I am so grateful that it did. I feel sure this might be a transaction that you won't soon forget. Please stop by and see me and Jason when you are in Oxford.

Michael Oswalt was a professional while working with me. He was very knowledgeable of the land that we looked at and exhibited a lot of patience in finding me that perfect property. It is obvious that he enjoys his work and if I ever decide to sell, he'll be the first person I will call
” Ron Ford

“
Anyone wanting to buy or sell land in northern Mississippi needs to contact Michael Oswalt with Tom Smith Land and Homes. We met Michael in May when we asked him to list our property in Lafayette County. We closed on the sell of our 40 acres in July. We had more interest and offers on our property in those 3 months than in the two years we were listed with other agents. During the last 45 days we suffered a life changing event when I became paralyzed. The least stressful part of this time was the selling of our home. Michael really helped my husband to make sure this process went smoothly. If you are looking to buy or sell land do yourself a favor and use Michael. You will not be disappointed!

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Michael Oswalt, Realtor. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael and came to know him as a valuable asset as I struggled to sell my home and acreage following the sudden death of my husband. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard working. Beyond that he is an impressive problem solver who is able to address complex issues with strategy, confidence and tenacity. He manages to foster positive discussions that result in positive results. Without a doubt I confidently recommend Michael Oswalt.

“
Yesterday my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Oswalt when we closed on a house we bought from one of his clients. I had talked to Michael several times on the phone and he was very helpful, even though I'm sure I probably got annoying. Yesterday Michael was so kind and friendly to us. In fact we have land in Illinois we are going to talk to him about selling for us because of that kindness. We have been in the convenience store business for years so we know all about customer service. In our opinion, Michael is one of the best realtors we've met. If we didn't already have our house listed with another realtor friend of ours, we would certainly let Michael sell it for us. Sincerely,
” Brenda and Tommy Watson

We began looking for hunting land months before being referred to and contacting Michael Oswalt. We were very pleased with his friendliness, assistance and patience in finding us exactly what we were looking for. Even after looking at several different properties all over north Mississippi, he continued to search for what we were looking for until he found it. We highly recommend Michael to other prospective buyers and will definitely contact him first when we are ready to buy again.

“Michael, thanks for all your good work in the sale of the 445 acres and the option on the other 400 for next year. With your help, I am sure the remainder will sale this next year as well. You are an honest broker: loyal to your client, hard-working and innovative in your thinking. You and your son, Fin, make a good team. Best wishes and thanks again!” Jim Sumner

Michael Oswalt, Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your help in finding the right hunting club share for me.

My name is Chad Jones and own a law firm in Ridgeland, MS called The Jones Law Firm. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Oswalt with Tom Smith Land and Homes while looking for some hunting land to buy. Michael did an amazing job for me. The first day I talked to him we were able to move fast and submit an offer on a property I was interested in. The next day we went back and forth a couple times with some counter offers and were able to agree on a price. The most amazing thing was we were able to close on the land in one week and was the holiday week of the July 4 2016, making it that much more impressive. I would recommend Michael to anyone whom needs a realtor that knows and understands what is required to get a deal done. Thanks so much for your help Michael, and looking forward to buying more land through you in the future!

I wanted to tell you, Michael Oswalt,what a great experience it was to work with you on the sale of my 185 acres and house. I watched you the first time we met riding the property and taking pictures, and what great pictures they were. You stayed on top of things and communicated very well.

“I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know how pleased I have been working with one of your agents. About 18 months ago I got fed up with my hunting club and decided to see if I could buy a small tract of land for my family to bow hunt on. I have never owned land other than my home and had no idea where to look nor the process. I’ve seen numerous of your advertisements so I just called your office. Heath Daniels answered the phone and listened to me for at least :30 rambling. I come to the conclusion that I wanted more than I could afford, but Heath was always positive and kept saying “we will keep looking, the right piece will come along”. I have to say I was skeptical. Well, Heath was right. After 18 months, probably 50 emails of land and more hours on the phone than I can count, we found the right piece. But, that’s where the hard work started. This land was right but had issues with access. I will say that Heath stayed at it and over a few months he finally got the easement cleared and even helped me find acceptable financing. Now that the deal is closed, Heath helped find me someone to clear the land and researched all of the utility contact info for me. I cannot say how pleased I am that Heath answered the phone that day. His attitude and commitment to finding the “needle in a haystack” was always positive and encouraging. So I just wanted to let you know that from my point of view, he is an asset to your company and represented you well. Thanks for all your help Heath! Chuck Koski” Chuck Koski

“I want to reach out to you to share my experience with Heath Daniels. Mr. Daniels from day one was receptive, attentive, and very professional from cradle to grave. Mr. Daniels went above and beyond to facilitate the marketing of the property (operation surveillance of trespassers) which in turn enabled a smooth sales transaction. Mr. Daniels communicated on a regular basis and not one time did an inquiry or call go unanswered. I would recommend Mr. Daniels services to anyone selling real estate property whether it be raw land or property with an actual home. For raw land, Heath's performance was EPIC. Very Satisfied Customer.” W. Hollins

“
Mr. Smith, In June of 2016, Heath Daniels contacted me through a Craigslist ad I posted regarding 30 acres I was attempting to sell. After a negative experience with a past realtor, I was hesitant, at a minimum, to respond to Mr. Daniels inquiry. After several weeks of no responses I finally called Mr. Daniels back and agreed to meet with him about my property. From the moment Mr. Daniels walked into my office, I knew he could get the job done on a difficult piece of property. I signed his forms, and Mr. Daniels was on his way. Within days, Mr. Daniels had put together a brochure of the property with several pictures and a brief description. After a few short weeks, Mr. Daniels and I were driving to Macon, MS to close on my property _ something I never thought would happen. Another couple of months had passed, and Mr. Daniels and I had become friends. Again, I called on Mr. Daniels to find a home for my wife and I. He listened to our wants and our needs, he gave us solid and realistic advice, and within two days we put in an offer on a home in Madison, MS. Mr. Daniels guided us throughout the entire process, assuring me he had our backs. He did not let us down. We began running into one issue after another with our mortgage broker. So many issues, in fact, I wanted to walk away. However, Mr. Daniels assured me he would get us through to the finish line. Mr. Daniels went above and beyond all of my expectations, and I believe he surpassed the level of customer care any company would demand from their employees. He worked day and night, tirelessly, to ensure we got our first home closed. He put in numerous phone calls to the broker whom I did not care to deal with, he organized everything with the closing attorney, and he kept me calm in a very anxious situation. You do not know me and I only know of you, through your reputation, but believe me when I say Heath Daniels is the best employee you could ever ask for. What started out as a skeptical meeting has turned into a lasting friendship and two complete closings. Consider yourself lucky to have Mr. Daniels representing you and your business. As long as Mr. Daniels is working in real estate, I know who I am using as my realtor.

Heath Daniels

Heath was born in Bossier City, LA and raised in deep East Texas. After graduating from Joaquin High School in 1998, he did EMS work for two years before moving to Jackson, MS in 2001 to attend Seminary. He graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Theology. He worked eight years as the Operations Manager for a prosthetics firm and now lives in Madison, MS with his wife Gretchen of Moss Point, MS and three kids; Julianna, Elizabeth, and Seth.

As early as three years old Heath was spending time in the outdoors hunting, camping and fishing with his dad. The old adage is “You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy” applies with him. During his early years he developed a love for the land and outdoors; his passion and desire for fresh air, woods and water eventually drove him to investigate and soon pursue a career in real estate. This love for the land and outdoors has fueled his desire to assist buyers in locating the property they desire. He also works hard for sellers in getting the most for their land. Whether it is a timber investment that you are looking for, a recreational hunting tract or if you just prefer to read a book by a quiet stream, he can help you locate it.

Adam is one of the most client-oriented people I've ever worked with. He did his homework, was knowledgeable, and knew how to market my property to get the most exposure. He was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any and every question I had. He was honest, straight-forward and didn't try to hide anything from us. I have the utmost respect for how Adam conducted his business with us. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone looking to sell or buy a piece of property. He will work hard for you!
” R. Allen

“Just wanted to thank Adam Hester for helping us sell our tracks of land. Adam did a fantastic job! We have been pleased with him helping us understand the process every step of the way! We will be glad to recommend Adam to future clients. S Capuzzo” Capuzzo

“Adam Hester, Betty and myself have felt so secure and confident with you handling the sale of my brother’s land and my land. I can’t tell you how much a blessing you are to my family. Thank you for being such a good friend to us during this important time in our life. May the good Lord bless you and your family always. Sincerely, John” John

“Thank you again, Adam, for your professionalism and efforts in making the sale happen. It was a pleasure working with you!” J. Dunn

“
Thank you for helping my family and I fulfill our dream of finding a hunting tract. We were inexperienced in the process of buying land and I really appreciate you taking the time to understand what we were looking for, answering our countless questions, and walking the property with us(rain or shine). Your knowledge, expertise, and counsel helped us to find the perfect place at a price we were comfortable with. Thank you for making the experience so enjoyable for us. I would recommend anyone looking for their piece of heaven on earth to give you a call.
” Scott Durman

“
Adam, I don't give compliments freely but you are a rock star. You will be extremely successful because you listen, care, and work hard along with a great personality. Sales isn't rocket science but sometimes happy and others sad. We are blessed to have met you. All the best!
” R. Sprecher

“I highly recommend Adam Hester of Tom Smith Land and Homes LLC to help you sell your property. After two other real estate companies were unsuccessful, Adam helped our family sell the old home place and a large tract of land. His determination, creativity, patience and expertise will get the job done for you, too! Thanks again! Kerry Johnson, PhD” Kerry Johnson, PhD

“Adam is the best! Through the entire process, from searching property until closing, he was always available and took time to research and answer all of our questions! We had a great experience as first time land buyers and would definitely recommend him!” The Butler Family
Adam Hester

Adam was born and raised in Attala County in the small town of Sallis, MS. After high school, he attended Holmes Community College for two years before transferring to Mississippi College where he received his B.S. in Kinesiology. He began working at Mississippi Sports Medicine after he graduated in 2009. He worked under the guidance of orthopedic surgeons for 7 years before deciding to pursue a career that would get him out from behind the walls and into his element…the outdoors.

Not only is he an avid outdoorsman, he has a love and passion for the outdoors. He was brought up hunting, riding horses and just being outdoors in general. He was taught at a young age to respect the dirt under your feet and utilize it however you can. Adam was raised to treat the person next to you the way you want to be treated, work hard for what you have and put God first in your family. He fits the profile of a “good, home-grown country boy”. Whether he is sitting in a tree stand in Mississippi, chasing turkeys in Kansas or just riding down a dirt road with his wife and daughter, he always seems to find himself in awe of the playground the Lord has given. His love for the land, drive to help others, and the attention he believes people deserve is what makes him the right agent for you.

In 2010, Adam married the former Gail Bankston, who was born and raised in Carroll County. They share an equal love for the outdoors and enjoy spending time together hunting and fishing. In 2016, they welcomed their daughter Adelyn Grace into the world. Adam and his family are residents of Clinton, MS.

I recently hired Steve Martens to sell property I owned in Madison County. Mr Martens was very knowledgeable and advised me every step of the way. He marketed my property in ways that I could not have done. He kept me well informed along the way with honest straight forward information and feedback. I was very pleased with the end results. I would highly recommend Mr Martens for any real estate needs that you may have.
” Robert M

“
We had an excellent experience with Steve Martens as our agent. He was very knowledgeable about the area and land. He was thorough in showing us parcels that we were interested in, even taking us around on his 4-wheeler when the piece was too large to walk. He knew the right questions to ask, and his expertise was helpful to us in negotiating the final sale. He was always very responsive and helpful. Because of his experience and help, we were able to find exactly what we were looking for. Steve Martens is an exceptional agent and we highly recommend him.
” Jeff and Patti

“We were extremely please with Sabrina. She was always very prompt in answering any questions we had. For me as a buyer, getting information and having questions answered timely is always so important, and makes things so much easier. I’ve quit using realtors in the past because it always seemed like they had more important things going on, and you would have to ask them the same question multiple times to get an answer. This was not the case with Sabrina, she always made you feel like you were her #1 client, and that makes all the difference to me. We look forward to working with her again in the future, and will be more than happy to recommend her to anyone we know of who is looking for a realtor. ” Jason Leggett

“Sabrina Wolff was so amazing during our buying process. She truly had our best interest at heart. She is a one of a kind realtor and person!” Anna Clyburn

“Sabrina will not let you down!!! She's a great person at heart who loves her job!” Jasper Hall
Sabrina Wolff

Sabrina Wolff was born and raised just outside of Brookhaven, MS in the community of Bogue Chitto. She is a loving wife and mother to one precious little boy. Sabrina’s roots, as well as her family’s, run deep in her community. Before real estate, she spent 8 years as a personal fitness trainer. She enjoys all types of music but her heart is in leading praise & worship in street ministry.

In her free time, Sabrina enjoys planting the garden and raising animals on her small farm, designing and decorating homes and pretty much anything outdoors with her family.

As a Realtor with Tom Smith Land & Homes, Sabrina brings her passion and commitment to make sure that everyone she works with is comfortable and completely understands each step of their buying or selling journey. She takes pride in everything she does, and excels in building relationships with her clients, which are considered friends even after the deal is done. Sabrina is loving and compassionate, and strives to make sure all clients wants and needs are met along the way.

I love the land. I always have. As a young boy growing up in Attala County, my days were filled with woods, fields, and exploration. I breathed the life that nature provides. Eventually, my family spent several years in south Louisiana, expanding my love for fishing and the outdoors.

Joining the US Air Force in 1980, I served honorably as an air traffic control supervisor. Those years in Japan highlighted by appointment as the ATC liaison for the U-2 and SR71 reconnaissance operations. Nothing but excitement! I transitioned from military service to a career in air traffic control with the Federal Aviation Administration, working “live traffic” at numerous airports across the US, ultimately positioned at FAA Headquarters in Washington, DC. I’ve maintained a top-secret clearance throughout my career.

Since 1990, Edwards, MS has been home, where I’ve had the honor of serving as Mayor.

Perseverance and follow-through are two traits that have advanced me through life. I love the task and its completion. This is who I am. However, the demands of life require relief and I know the place that settles my soul, it’s the land!

This green state of Mississippi, so blessed with beauty, wildlife and rich soil, is a wonderful place to live. There is a place for you…that place that “settles the soul”, let me help you find it. Whether buying or selling, I will work wholeheartedly on your behalf, you have my word. I maintain a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ and have tremendous gratitude to our great nation.

Since 1984, I’ve traveled this journey with my wife and co-adventurer Karen, daughter Elsa, her husband Jess and our four spectacular grandchildren.

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

“
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

“
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 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
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!

LeighAnn Pittman, I want to express how awesome you are as a realtor. I appreciate you going the extra mile to ensure that I had a smooth transition from my apartment to my first home. I'm still getting used to the responsibilities of being a homeowner but at the same time I am enjoying my new home and my new surroundings so far. Again, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me during this major life change. I am glad to know there's someone reliable, like you, to turn to if I ever need anything or have any questions. Thank you so much for everything you've done!
” Patricia

“Over the last several months we have had a great experience while shopping for real estate with Leigh Ann Pittman! Our first connection was over the phone. We connected immediately. She really listened to us as we described the type of property that we were interested in finding. She immediately put us on The MLS with our parameters. We started receiving information on all properties that met our needs in the chosen locations. This was of great help to us since we live 6.5 hours away. We would preview the property online and if it looked like a possibility, then Leigh Ann would go check it out, do pictures and a video walk thru or facetime!!! She represented us well in every situation and really worked for us...she is/was “Our Reator”! She thought of everything we needed in the contract, she gave us connections to the best experts possible to help us figure financing, inspectors, Inspect It Like A Girl and closing experts at Luckett Land and Title and more. We thank her for all her behind the scene work which made it all go sooo smoothly. We are happy to report that we closed on a property on Friday, September 28, 2018!!! The whole situation was flawless...thanks to Leigh Ann! We loved working with Leigh Ann and others we met on this journey; it seemed like the sellers really connected with Leigh Ann too! We just wanted you to know what a great job Leigh Ann Pittman did for us! She is a professional and we are blessed to call her our friend! Thanks for everything!! George and Margaret Heard” George and Margaret Heard

“Leigh Ann, Thank you so much for everything you did during the sale of our land. From the first day to the last, you were positive and energetic. Your experience and skills helped the overall process to go very smoothly. You were the answer to my prayer. Again, thank you so much!” Michelle Richard

“
It has been an honor and pleasure to be LeighAnn Pittman's first customer and jumpstarting her real estate career! We would like to thank her for all the help every step of the way. She was always there even after office hours to answer texts and phone calls about every little concern we had. LeighAnn made sure everything was going in the right direction and we met our closing deadline with everything in place. LeighAnn is the bomb! And so is Tom Smith Land and Homes!
” Tom and Veronica W.
LeighAnn Pittman

Hi, my name is Leigh Ann Pittman. I was born just outside of Atlanta, Georgia but I did most of my growing up in Orlando, Florida. I started working in real estate my junior year of High School. I quickly realized the satisfaction of seeing people get into a new home or sell one even from an office manager’s point of view. I have worked in the real state “field” for over 30 years and in three states. I have been in the mortgage business, the title business and worked for several closing attorneys. I feel like my experience in these fields help me to better serve my clients, whether buying or selling.

I am married with four children and five grandchildren. My husband transferred to Mississippi in 2009 with Mack Trucks. I have worked in real estate since moving here and have grown to call Mississippi home.

I would be honored to work for you whether you are buying or selling a home, land or a commercial property. I will work hard for you and will uphold the REALTOR® standards of professionalism.

Our motto is EXPECT MORE, GET MORE … and that is just what you will get from me as your agent.

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.
Sam Sample

My name is Sam Sample, and I reside in Holmes County, Mississippi. I am a Realtor and one of several land specialists with Tom Smith Land and Homes. My family and I have lived on our farm for the past 40 years, and I personally have lived here all my life. I attended public and private school in Holmes County, as well as Junior College. I met my wife while attending college, and we immediately returned to my family’s farm to make our home. Regardless of what some may see as an economically disadvantaged area, it has never entered my mind to move my family away from this area. What others see in Holmes County as remote and out of the mainstream is the very thing that continues to keep me attracted to this area. I worked for an electric power association for 23 years in Holmes, Humphries, Yazoo, Warren, Sharkey and Issaquena counties. I have been an insurance associate since 2002. My past work experience has enabled me to pursue my primary interest and passion, which is a genuine love for the land. I am the owner operator of a family farm producing cattle, timber and hay. My farm also provides recreational activities such as hunting, fishing and hiking. Because of this, I feel I am uniquely qualified to represent your interest in buying or selling residential, recreational or agricultural land. When the time comes to offer your home or land for sale or when you need assistance in locating the perfect property, please consider me and the team of land specialist at Tom Smith Land and Homes. I will be glad to meet with you to discuss your land and home interests. I am looking forward to your call.

Kerri walked my wife and me through buying our first home. She was knowledgeable about the homes available in the area, provided us with contact information that she quickly responded on a daily basis, and was patient and informative regarding the whole process, making the home-buying experience far less intimidating than it could have been. Kerri is also super-friendly and never has a negative attitude, so working with her was a pleasure as opposed to a task. If you plan to buy real estate in Starkville, I couldn't recommend her enough.

Kerri has been such a lifesaver!! My family wanted to move to a county in which we knew nothing about!! We were moving from 3 hours away! I didn't even know where to start! Kerri listened to my request of what kind of home I wanted my children to grow up in. She has been so patient & kind with us. She knew just the right place to start looking for usÄshe is the best!

As a foreigner and first-time buyer, I was blessed to have Kerri as my agent. Kerri has been extremely knowledgeable about the local market, extremely professional with the whole process, and extremely patient and flexible to work with. I very much enjoyed this experience and felt that Kerri always had my best interests at heart.

Kerri did a great job as our agent for buying a home. She took the time to understand our requirements and it showed with the properties we reviewed. Kerri was helpful with her depth of knowledge about the local market and kept us well informed about properties throughout the search. Additionally, she was able to direct us to local resources needed in the process, which was very helpful to us not being local. There were several issues that arose with the property during the process, and Kerri was quick to provide solutions and outline all of our options for addressing or handling these issues. Kerri's professionalism, communication, effort, and approach was great from the initial meeting through act of sale

I bought a condo with Kerri, sight unseen. She was able to get me the information I needed to make the decision. She then managed almost all of the required repairs. Even after I closed on the condo, she was still available to help me make some changes. Since I was a time zone away, her help was invaluable.

I am sending this email to say thank you for your company and Kerri Matthews for my rental home purchase. I worked with Kerri to purchase a rental house (budget under $150k) starting last Thanksgiving and was able to buy a nice 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom house which will be rented out from April 1.
” Anonymous

“
We thought, 'we have to have a good agent to make our home-buying process easier.' Kerri Mathews did make the process look easy to us. As time went by, when we began to understand, how frustrating the whole processes is, that is where Kerri's expertise came in. During that frustrating time period, Kerri became more than a real estate agent. I began to understand how much dedication this work required like answering my questions without time being a factor, answering my every phone call at that moment or always calling back, if there was a missed call. Kerri made it look like we were the only clients even though she was handling several clients at that time. Even after buying the house, we still exchange phone calls and text messages. That speaks volumes about Kerri's work. I could have used some adjectives to describe her work ethics but I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to describe them hence the story. Overall, we started with a real estate agent and we ended with a good friend!
” Anonymous

“I would recommend TSLH to anyone I know. Kerri did an excellent job for us and narrowed the search for us very rapidly preventing a lot of unwarranted searching. Each and every communication was very clear and concise. She even followed up her emails with text messages making sure I understood everything. Top Shelf realtor for sure in my book.” Jon

“
We saw various options during this process within the budget but without the help of Kerri, I would not be able to make a smart and swift decision to purchase the best option that was available at the time of the purchase. What I liked the most about her during the process was that she was always there but gave me space for me to formulate the best decision. She was friendly and likable, and I wanted to share anything that I know and want to know in terms of real estate transactions not only this house but also other houses that I have and my boyfriend owns during this process. Thank you again for your company and you to have Kerri in your team members.

Kerri Mathews

She’ll admit it – she’s a Starkville transplant. In 2014, Kerri started her real estate career in Tennessee where she was originally born and raised. She jumped into the industry by assisting some of the top-producing agents in the East Tennessee area with marketing and advertising, as well as meeting her own sales goal in her first year as a licensee. Kerri relocated to Starkville at the beginning of 2016 where she lives with her fiance, Shane, and their sweet dogs, Ham and Cruz. Kerri says, “I’ve moved many, many times over the years. I’ve visited all lower 48 states. I love to travel and see new places, and there is so much to love about Starkville.” Real estate is her passion and says the best part is constantly meeting new people. “My job is helping those people solve problems and reach their goals, and I love every minute of it!”

“The way I see it – buying or selling real estate is often a life-changing event. You’re moving – relocating to another place, moving up, down-sizing, FINALLY moving out of that rental into your very own home! It’s big. When your address changes, everything changes. It can be stressful at times, but it can also be very rewarding and even fun! I pride myself in representing my clients’ very best interest and marketing properties to their fullest potential to ensure a smooth sale. I’ve got your back, friend. It’s going to be just fine.”

Jessica was instrumental in assisting with our house sale. As we were out of state, we relied on Jessica. She placed the house on the market, showed it, and walked us through the title search and sale. I don't know how we would have gotten everything together and done without her assistance.

“
Eric Entrekin has been helping my wife and I find some land to build on and he has been great to work with espicially because we are being very picky because we want enough to live and hunt on for the rest of our lives and we have very specific request which we understand is not easy but He has been all over it and found several we like so far. He has been very patient and great to work with.
” J. Denton

“I feel fortunate that about ten years ago I had met Eric Entrekin when he was in his role as a registered forester had facilitated a timber sale for my husband. Several years after moving to another state we decided to put the land in Neshoba County “on the market.” I immediately thought of contacting Eric about marketing the land as I knew he was now a realtor, also. He was very good at keeping in touch and explained his thoughts and suggestions well. His efforts culminated in a sale that was free of hassle for us. If we owned more land in Mississippi (but we do not), we would definitely contact Eric about listing the property.” Anna Fowler

“In November 2018 my wife and I began searching for approximately 40-acres of land to build our dream home on. We made the decision to contact Eric Entrekin, to assist us in our search, and what a great decision it was! After approximately 5-weeks of searching we finally found what we were searching for. Eric was understanding, patient and very resourceful, throughout the entire process. Eric, Deanna and I THANK YOU for all you have done to assist us in our search.” Whitney and Deanna Sampey

“
Eric Entrekin with Tom Smith Land and Homes in Starkville listed a parcel in Kemper County for me. We had tried to sell the parcel for a few years. When we listed it with Eric at this office we started getting visits and offers. Eric was able to get us a very good price with a qualified buyer. He was a total pro and guided the deal all the way to closing. I am on the hunt for another parcel and of course I will use Eric. He knows land and has a real eye for looking at properties and seeing the potential that others without his forestry background would miss. Eric is the best.
” Will Simmons

“Eric Entrekin with y'all's company worked as hard for me as any agent ever has!! Agents such as Eric E. is why y'all are successful in getting listings.” Stan S.

“Eric was GREAT to work with on my recent land sale. He walked me through the whole “land sale” process and provided me with lots of forestry advice so that I could make a comfortable decision about the sale of my timberland. I would definitely recommend him to anybody looking to sale their timberland!!! T Bryan” T Bryan

“Eric, thank you so much for working with me on the property that I just purchased. The best thing was before, during and even after the sale. Thank you for working with me on the property and helping me to get in contact with the appropriate people to help me clean up. I appreciate your time and knowledge on helping me to understand the timber and it works to my favor. Moving forward, my plans are to get this place cleaned up and make a nice deer camp. I’m going to flip it and look for something else. With that being said, I will call you again for your help. I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for land for hunting, fishing or just a get away. Eric, thanks again for your time and help. Look forward working with you again.

“Trinity did a wonderful job communicating with us during the selling experience. She was informative and knowledgeable about things we could do to make our home more of an eye catcher. She sold in our desired time frame which was amazing considering the time of year and the fact we were buying a home at the same time. Overall we’re very pleased with how Trinity performed and how quickly she sold our home. ” Alex and Whitney Pizarras

“I have to give a huge shout out and thank you for all of the help and professionalism that Trinity Smith provided throughout my purchase process. Trinity went above and beyond the realm of professionalism and her customer service and industry knowledge was amazing. She is kind, courteous, knowledgeable and extremely professional. She never had a negative thing to say about competitors which speaks volumes for her character. I am truly blessed to have found her as my realtor.” Bobby Berthelot

“I want to tell you about the wonderful experience we had working with Trinity Webb. My wife and I, along with 4 other individuals, owned 10.5 acres and 3 cabins in Summit, Mississippi. We listed the property with Tom Smith Land with Trinity as our agent. The property was in the name of Firefly Property, LLC. Trinity was terrific!! She worked tirelessly to show the property and ultimately found buyers that agreed with our acceptable price. She also worked to follow-up with every aspect of the sale process, including making sure the closing attorney had all necessary information to complete the closing. She didn’t just hand us off to the attorney after the sale contract was signed. She saw the sale through to the end. We very much appreciated that extra effort. From the time we initially called Tom Smith until the time we left the bank to complete the closing, Trinity made this whole experience a great one. If we ever once again venture into property ownership in Mississippi, Trinity Webb will certainly be our agent. I certainly could not even think of calling anyone else!! Thank you, Trinity and Tom Smith Land and Homes for making our property selling experience a good one. ” Bryan McElroy

“My name is Mac Labat from Houma, LA. We used Tom Smith Land and Homes to sell our getaway property in Summit, Mississippi. We were very pleased with the way that they approached the marketing and sale of our property. From the very beginning we knew we hired the right team. Their focus and preparation to who they would market it to was spot on. The write up and pictures really made it more appealing than it already was. Our agent was Trinity Webb and she did an outstanding job. Our steady communication with her made us feel that we were involved in every step. I would recommend them to any one that wants to sell their home or property.” Mac Labat

This young lady came to my rescue and sold it within a few weeks. Thank you, Trinity for keeping me informed about everything and making the closing so simple. If I ever have property to sell, I will call Ms. Webb again. Thanks Tom Smith Land and Homes for hiring such caring, reliable and informative people. Peggy D. Hilburn” Peggy Hilburn

“
When my husband and I decided to sell our house we really weren't sure where to even begin. So thankful that we contacted Trinity about listing the house for us! She made the whole process easy and stress free; and we didn't realize it would sell so quickly! We will definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the future!
” Kelly Polk

“
I would like the time to let someone know about our exceptional service we received from Trinity Webb. She far exceeded anything we could have expected from a realtor. There was never a time day or night I felt like I couldn't call her and she wouldn't do anything she could to assist us throughout our home buying process. I feel like I gained a friend. She made the whole thing feel very personal and like we were her main concern. A 5 Star _ rating for her! Thank you Trinity and Tom Smith Land and Homes!
” Justin and Rebecca H

“Trinity helped us with purchasing our first home a little over a month ago. She was great to work with and really helped make the process a smooth one. We would definitely recommend her to others. The Ward Family” The Ward Family

Testimonials

“Preston, On behalf of the Webb family, I would like to take just a moment to express our deepest appreciation for the tireless effort you put into the sale of our property. The time you spent researching, contacting other parties, and negotiating on our behalf, under a somewhat frustrating situation, is to be commended. It was an honor to work with you on the sale of our property but more so it has been a pleasure to meet you and now be able to call you a friend. Please know that because of you, we will recommend only Tom Smith Land and Homes to all of our friends and family.” Bynn Webb “

We thought, 'we have to have a good agent to make our home-buying process easier.' Kerri Mathews did make the process look easy to us. As time went by, when we began to understand, how frustrating the whole processes is, that is where Kerri's expertise came in. During that frustrating time period, Kerri became more than a real estate agent. I began to understand how much dedication this work required like answering my questions without time being a factor, answering my every phone call at that moment or always calling back, if there was a missed call. Kerri made it look like we were the only clients even though she was handling several clients at that time. Even after buying the house, we still exchange phone calls and text messages. That speaks volumes about Kerri's work. I could have used some adjectives to describe her work ethics but I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to describe them hence the story. Overall, we started with a real estate agent and we ended with a good friend!

” Anonymous “Mr. Michael Mitchell recently sold land for me in Soso, Mississippi. I want to share with you my experience with him. The very first time that I spoke with Mike was in April of this year, I felt so comfortable talking with him and exploring selling my land. The initial call was an interview for me to judge whether or not I wanted to do business with him. Well, I made up my mind with the first call. Mike began research on my land, went and walked it, sent paperwork and maps to me so fast, before we even had an agreement. He is very patient and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and listened very intently to my concerns. He always kept me apprised of every offer and telephone calls of inquiries. There is not enough space in cyberspace for me to express my sincere gratitude. I really appreciate all that he did to bring my transaction to closing. Mike's work ethic to me seemed like non stop because he was so prompt and responsive to me. I know that he had many other clients, however, I was treated like the only one he had. He used all technology available to communicate updates and I never had to wonder or worry about status updates. I wish that we had more good and ethical people like him in this world. He is so very nice and kind and he is a new friend of mine! Thank you for taking the time to read my sincere comments about Mr. Michael Mitchell.” Barbara Dunlap “

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 “
