Fred Bennett has been helping buyers, sellers, landowners, and investors navigate the Northwest Missouri real estate market since 2001. Born and raised in Harrison County, Missouri, Fred combines more than 25 years of real estate experience with firsthand knowledge of farming, hunting, recreational land, and rural property.
Throughout his career, Fred has consistently ranked among the top United Country real estate professionals in the nation. He has been recognized as a Top 10 Sales Associate year after year, including eight years among the Top 5, and earned the distinction of #1 Sales Agent in the nation in 2008. He has also consistently ranked as a Top 10 Listing Agent and has listed more than 1,100 properties during his career.
Fred specializes in hunting land, recreational properties, row crop farms, agricultural land, investment farms, and rural real estate throughout Harrison County and Northwest Missouri, while also assisting clients with residential and other property types. His experience is particularly valuable to buyers searching for productive farmland, income-producing agricultural property, quality hunting acreage, or recreational land.
As a lifelong hunter and landowner, Fred understands rural property from more than a real estate perspective. He knows how to evaluate the features that matter to land buyers, from wildlife habitat and hunting potential to tillable acreage, agricultural productivity, access, and long-term investment opportunities. He also works with investors looking to diversify their portfolios through farmland and agricultural real estate.
Before beginning his real estate career, Fred spent 20 years with Montgomery Ward, advancing through positions including Service Advisor, Assistant Auto Manager, Auto Manager, District Auto Manager, and Corporate Training Manager. That extensive background in customer service, management, and training continues to shape the knowledgeable, straightforward approach he brings to every real estate transaction.
Today, Fred lives with his wife, Debbie, on their 385-acre farm in Northwest Missouri. An avid outdoorsman, he continues to enjoy hunting and spending time outdoors with his family.
Whether you are looking to buy or sell hunting land, a row crop farm, recreational acreage, agricultural investment property, a country home, or other real estate in Harrison County and Northwest Missouri, Fred brings decades of local knowledge and proven real estate experience to help you make an informed decision.
Fred likes J. W. Woolworth’s saying, “I am the world’s worst salesman, therefore I must make it easy for people to buy.”
