The Beginning of Rural Realty
After years of running the farm with his family and helping farmers, ranchers, and investors buy and sell land as a licensed agent, Alec saw a growing need for a brokerage that truly understood rural property from the ground up. His hands-on experience in agriculture and land transactions gave him a unique perspective—and a drive to offer more personalized, transparent service to clients across the region. In 2025, he earned his broker’s license and founded Rural Realty, with a mission to provide expert guidance and honest advice to those buying or selling farmland, ranchland, and rural commercial properties throughout Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado.

Education
Alec's understanding of property comes from both hands-on farming experience and formal education. Alec graduated from Kansas State University with a bachelor's degree in Agronomy and a minor in Plant Pathology. As a Certified Crop Advisor who won national honors in college, he brings specialized knowledge to agricultural property assessments.
Career
After completing his studies at K-State and returning to Leoti to work the family farm, Alec expanded into real estate to help others navigate property decisions. His specialty in Farm and Ranch properties builds on his firsthand understanding of agricultural operations and land management.

Family
Alec and his wife Molly returned to Leoti after college to continue the family farming tradition, now raising their children Harlow and Brigham in the same community where Alec grew up. Family values shape his approach to both farming and real estate, and when not helping clients with property matters, he treasures time at the lake with loved ones, winter vacations, and Sunday mornings with his family.
