Gunnar Carpenter

Gunnar Carpenter is a Missouri native whose roots in Kearney have shaped both his work ethic and his lifelong connection to the land. Growing up hunting family property in northern Missouri gave him an early appreciation for what rural land represents, both as an investment and as a legacy worth protecting.

Gunnar attended Northwest Missouri State University, where he earned a degree in criminology and played college football. That experience instilled discipline, accountability, and a team-first mindset that carries over into how he serves his clients today. His passion for land took hold at a young age after harvesting his first archery deer at just 10 years old, sparking a lifelong interest in bowhunting and hands-on land management. Today, he remains deeply involved in improving habitat through food plots, timber improvement, and prescribed burns, often working alongside his father, who taught him the importance of responsible land stewardship.

Before transitioning into land sales, Gunnar spent 3.5 years on Midwest Land Group’s internal sales team, where he worked closely with dozens of agents across many regions. That experience allowed him to learn the rural real estate business from the inside out and be part of successful transactions from start to finish. He also brings a sharp eye for property potential, frequently analyzing mapping data and management strategies to help landowners maximize value.

Known for his personable approach and “burn the ships” mentality, Gunnar treats every transaction as if it were his own. When you’re ready to buy or sell land in Missouri, Gunnar is the agent you call for honest guidance, steady support, and a results-driven approach focused on your goals.
