910 Acres in Union Parish in Spearsville, LA (Big Daddy's Paradise)

“

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.

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 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, 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.

“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 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 

“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.
