- Hey, I’m Mason Kesterson
Your Local Guide to Life and Land in Southwest Missouri
I grew up in a small town, where I spent my days hunting, fishing, working cattle, and playing sports. That rural, outdoor lifestyle shaped who I am — and it still drives how I approach real estate today: with grit, honesty, and a deep appreciation for this land and the people on it.
After earning my degree in Wildlife Biology with a minor in General Business from Missouri State University, I knew I wanted a career where I could make a real impact — not just close deals. Real estate gave me the opportunity to help families, farmers, and investors find their place here, while staying active in causes I care deeply about.
Whether I’m volunteering with Abilities First, helping organize local galas, or starting a National Wild Turkey Federation chapter in Greene County, giving back to this community is part of my DNA.
I’ve lived in the Southwest Missouri area my whole life — so when I say I know the ins and outs of the local market, I mean it. From home values and land use to school districts and community culture, I bring local insight that goes beyond the numbers.
Backed by some of the best brokers in the Midwest, I’m proud to serve my clients with the same values I grew up with — respect, hard work, and a promise to treat your goals like they’re my own.
Let’s find what’s next — together.
Why Mason Kesterson
From investment properties to commercial spaces and everyday homes, my expertise guides you through every step of the journey.
Customer Service
This process is about you. So the most important thing is to make sure that YOU are happy. I am here to help make it as stress free and successful as possible.
Expertise
Knowing the market is so crucial when listing a property. This is why it is so important to choose the right realtor to help you with YOUR property. I am constantly going to seminars (local and national), talking with other agents, and staying up to date on anything new that is coming to your area that could affect your price.
Negotiation
Price is important, but having someone willing to negotiate for you is even more important. Being professional during the process, but also knowing when something is overpriced and not of quality is big. Using professionalism to get that situation solved is what we are here for. This could come down to professionally negotiating an inspection report, appraisal, or even getting the price adjusted.
Communication
Whether this is the first transaction or 100th transaction, communication is the most important part of the transaction. It is very important to know which step we are on, when the next step is happening, and what to look out for. This is something I don't take lightly as this can make or break a deal.
Charity we Partner with
This career allows me to not only make an impact on each one of my clients, but also be active in nonprofit organizations that mean more to me than one will ever know.

From our first conversation to closing day, Mason was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions. He made the experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable.

We highly recommend Mason to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!Posted on Kara FodgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I just bought our first home and truly couldn’t imagine having done so without the help and guidance of Mason Kesterson! We met Mason 2 years ago at an open house when we weren’t ready to buy, and knew when we met him that we’d met the man that would sell us our future home(s)! The impression Mason made that day and the relationship that he continues to foster with us is personal, communicative, and heartfelt! Throughout the process of buying he truly met both my husband and I exactly where we were at. He was honest with us when providing opinions and guidance. And, he consistently steered us in a positive direction. As “overthinkers” we were grateful for the way he humored and answer every single question - no matter how detailed, etc, and how he took our biggest worries away! We truly can’t say enough positive things about Mason and the work he does, and we will recommend him to all of our friends and families that are walking into this step of their life!Posted on Madelyn BaumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mason did a great job. He made selling my house super easy and fast! Would recommend!Posted on Robert ElliottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mason did a wonderful job with selling my father's house after we moved my father in with me. He went above and beyond anything expected of a realtor. This included things like putting us in touch with reliable handy men and cleaners. He even went over to the house to turn the faucets on during cold weather and making sure the heat was on so the pipes wouldn't freeze, and even had the driveway cleared for us the day of closing. His patience with my elderly father was greatly appreciated! I will be recommending Mason to anyone looking for a realtor in Springfield! Thank you Mason for the wonderful job you did!Posted on Amy RoderickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mason was a great realtor.

Mason did such an amazing job on helping us purchase our first home. He was professional and answered all our questions with no hesitation. Our first home wasn’t our forever home and he knew we wanted to be in our hometown. Fast forward 7 months later he sent me a listing of what he didn’t know was my childhood house that I grew up in, 45 days later I surprised my family with moving back home in that house.
