2025 was a big year! We assisted our clients in buying and selling over $25,000,000 in real estate. Going into the Murney Pro Awards we knew we would receive the highest level volume award but we were absolutely shocked when we received Team of the Year. We have been with Murney almost three years and it has been a great fit for us but more importantly it is good for our clients. We are a small team that produces big results. The focus has always been providing excellent service that comes from years of experience and genuinely caring for people. Thank you to our loyal clients, we appreciate you so much!

In 2025 our team closed over $25,000,000 in property for our clients. We closed out the year with 20 homes listed and headed into the January of 2026 with a full work load. The real estate market is busy in the Ozarks!

We are thrilled to announce our team has moved to Murney Associates, REALTORS. The Rogersville office has transitioned to a Murney location. We can also be found at the main Murney office on Primrose in Springfield. We look forward to continuing to serve our clients throughout the Springfield area and a large portion of southern Missouri. We are a dedicated team of eight local Realtors with over 100 million is lifetime sales volume.

A year of growth is the best way to describe 2021. Southern Missouri is growing! Many Realtors saw record years in sales, including our team and ReeceNichols Real Estate as a whole. We can’t help but feel that the rest of the country has figured out that the Ozarks is a great place to live. We expect 2022 to be another busy year in real estate, we’ll keep you posted!

J.R. here, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2022. Check out our Facebook page and our personal Facebook pages to stay better connected. Take a look at the about us section if you are unfamiliar with our team and want to learn more!

The voting is in and our fearless leader J.R. Hutcheson was named Realtor of the Year 2017!! This award was voted on by our fellow Carol Jones REALTORS and J.R. could not have been more proud of at that moment or humbled. There is no brokerage like CJR, it is truly a family of agents that work together to provide the best service possible to our clients. What an amazing way to round out the biggest year of J.R.’s career. That’s right! We did over 11 million dollars in sales volume and set a new record. On top of our Top Producer Award we received a Gold Award for quality service.

The 2018 market has proven to be challenging so far with low inventory and a lot of competition for buyers. We strive to continue to provide exceptional service to our clients and give them the knowledge they need to make great decisions buying and selling!

More and more we are hearing buyers say they are looking for a home on a few acres.  Depending on what stage of life they are in, different reasons are given, but it seems to boil down to wanting to find something that reflects the way they grew up.

It is no secret that many of our local residents are transplants from small towns (me being one of those transplants).  However, desire to find a little land to call their own isn’t only coming from locals. We are seeing many people from larger urban areas inquiring about our local communities and  seem eager to call the Ozarks home. 

The great thing about this area is you don’t have to uproot and move out to the “farm” while giving up quick access to modern amenities. Frankly, you can set up a small farm with chickens and veggies right in the middle of Springfield on a  quarter acre lot. It takes some gumption and creativity, but plenty of people are doing just that (check local city codes and take your neighbors into consideration, please).

If your dream is to find a home on 40 acres, 15 acres, or .25 acre you can find those all right here. It takes a little time to find the right one and owning a home always requires some work. Our job is to help you find the place you will call home.
