CHARMING AND AFFORDABLE HOME IN MEXICO, MO

Melinda Bastian Sales Associate

Melinda started her career with United Country – Missouri Land and Home in the spring of 2011 as an Administrative Assistant. While working in that role, Melinda earned her Missouri Real Estate License. Continuing in her role as a marketing and auction specialist, Melinda honed her skills before launching her full-time real estate career.

Her marketing and auction experience, as well as extensive knowledge of pasture and farm land, make farms and ranches Melinda’s specialties. Growing up on a farm in Central Missouri and then marrying a farmer/rancher and helping him with the day-to-day decisions and activities on the farm gives Melinda a good grasp on farm and ranch values.  While Audrain county is known for its exceptional farmland, it is also home to a large number of beef cattle as well.

Melinda and her husband have operated a 150-plus head cow herd for nearly 30 years in addition to a small row crop operation. The couple has also been active with their sons, Chris and Jesse, in 4-H, FFA and several cattle organizations over the years.  She knows what it takes to make a family farm work in today's changing ag economy.  When she's not busy with real estate or farm activities, you can find her relaxing in the outdoors with her kids and grandkids, at a church function or at the local farmer’s market selling her family’s beef direct to consumers. Melinda is licensed in the state of Missouri.
