Origins of Humboldt and Crocker

Before there was the city of Crocker Missouri there was a small trading post named Humboldt, located very near where Crocker is today. This small trading post was established in 1854 and was a central hub in the area for many years. It was one of the main reasons that people initially began settling in the area, as people wanted to be close to a supply of goods and services. There was also the Humboldt Inn that was visited by many people throughout the years. The inn also served as a staying place for many of the railroad workers who built the railroad that traverses through the center of what is now Crocker.

In 1866 the Frisco Railroad was completed just to the east of what was known as Humboldt. E.H Crocker was an early stockholder in the Frisco Railroad and the town of Crocker, named after Mr. Crocker, grew up around the train depot. Once the railroad was completed the city of Crocker began to expand and eventually consumed the area known as Humboldt.

Gary Homer

Gary Homer owns and manages Humboldt Farms and Homes. He is a military veteran with over 22 years of active-duty service. Originally from a small town in upstate New York, Gary settled in Crocker after separating from service at Fort Leonard Wood. He and his family stayed in Missouri after separation due to the extremely affordable cost of living and the close knit and friendly communities. Gary was extremely fortunate in finding his way into real estate, as he had a government job that was going well until the COVID pandemic, and he was subsequently laid off. He had some very good friends that helped him into real estate and coached him through his first few years. Realizing that he had a knack for understanding real estate and was very good with people, Gary began to do extremely well. In his first year of real estate, he won the Pulaski County Board of Realtors Rookie of the Year award. This award is highly competitive and is given to new agents with the highest number of sales in their first year. Gary made over 10 million dollars in sales in just the last 3 years and have many very satisfied clients. He is a certified Military Relocation Specialist with the National Association of Realtors. This certification, coupled with his many years of service means he knows and understands the challenges that a PCS move can bring. He is also well versed with VA loans and the VA loan process. Gary is also on the board of directors for the Realtors Land Institute (RLI) for the State of Missouri. The RLI is a group of Realtor’s that specialize in land. As such, Gary is one of the most well-versed land agents in and around Fort Leonard Wood.

Growing up as a farmer, now owning his own farm and as a passionate hunter, Gary knows land and what to look for in helping you choose your next piece of ground.

Gary’s goal when opening his brokerage was to incorporate his years of values and ethics into his growing business. He still upholds those values and ethics today as he is totally transparent and honest and conducts his business with that same sense of honesty and fairness. His goal was to bring trust back into the real estate market.

Back in 2022 I found out I was relocating to MO. I reached out to a former supervisor and he recommended Gary. When we went to buy and being out of state Gary did amazing job in updating us and even video calling for us to the see progress of our new build. THEN a a short 1.5 years later we had to sell. I knew from the very beginning that Gary was my Guy. In 48 hours we had 5 showings. House was pending barely 48 hours on the market. Gary thank you for everything you for my family and I.

Gary was the absolute best choice we made when buying our home. He was honest, upfront, and cut straight through any BS. He also helped me find a very competitive mortgage lender. We (my girlfriend and I) were probably very needy buyers, wanting to see the house a few times to be sure and other requests, and Gary was there. Due to no fault of my own, the sale almost fell through. He was right there to help and kept it in there so we could have a home for our entirely, probably too big, huge family. I wouldn't use any other person if I choose to sell this house or if we buy another. He was great. 5 Stars above the 5 Stars.

Gary did an amazing job!!! He told me when I first listed that it may take some time and boy did it! If you are in the market to buy or sell definitely recommend! He will be there for you! Thanks Gary!!! Awesome job!!!

Gary was so helpful through the WHOLE process. From helping us with the purchase of our new home/property to selling our own house, Gary was a step ahead every step of the way. His connections helped us out tremendously when it came to getting our house ready to list and quickly sold, as well as taking care of any roadblocks that popped up along the way! Gary is somebody that we have developed a tremendous amount of respect for. I have no doubt we will continue to seek him out for suggestions and support as we move forward with the renovations of our new home, especially being that we are now new neighbors! He is not just a realtor, he is a great guy!

Gary was amazing to work with! He was able to see us last minute on Fathers Day and we were able to do everything remotely to help us get moved all the way from Montana to Missouri! Highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who is honest, flexible, dedicated, and overall a really great guy!

We were super excited to have gary in our corner for both buying and selling our home. We were first time buyers and had no idea what direction to go. He never steered us wrong and always had the best people for the job. When we sold he got our house under contract in only few days! He got us above asking and dealt with everything! If you need a trustworthy and reliable realtor, without question you want this man in your corner. Thanks again for everything Gary!

Gary is the man, he helped my family and I get into our home when we moved here and helped sell it now that we’re leaving. He was more than helpful with everything and went above and beyond both buying and selling our home. His personal skills are unparalleled, if you’re looking to buy or sell, call Gary Homer!
DB
Gary’s a great guy to work with and he sold our house very quickly! He took care of everything and made the process super easy! Highly recommend him when listing your home or looking for a home!
WB
Gary helped us sell and buy a home at the same time and it was seamless! Could have been extremely stressful but he took care of everything thoroughly and timely balancing everything between the 2 homes! It was an extra bonus that he has past home inspection experience and guided us in purchasing a well built solid home! Our home that we were selling had an offer in a matter of 3 weeks and it went as smooth as could be! Strongly recommend Gary for your real estate and land needs!

Gary busted his behind to move us from NC to MO in order to find our forever property. After many miles and many questions answered we are loving our new home. If your looking for a dedicated/reliable realtor who actually cares about your interests: look no further.
