John Hoefert

Serving Southern and Central Illinois

John Hoefert is passionate about the outdoors, delighting in hosting guests at his family farms, sharing experiences of hunting, trail riding, and simply basking in the beauty of nature. This same passion infuses his work at Midwest Land Group, where his extensive farming and hunting skills enable him to offer insights on food plots for deer and turkey, trail camera usage, property maintenance, controlled burns, and more.


Hailing from Alton, Illinois, John is a graduate of Marquette Catholic High School and later pursued a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Fitness and Sport from Millikin University. For nearly nine years, he served with distinction as a police officer and K9 handler, earning life-saving awards and commendations for successful criminal investigations. He also contributed on the Union Board. These experiences fostered in him patience, responsibility, professionalism, and strong communication skills—attributes that are invaluable in his real estate work.


John cherishes family time, outdoor work, and managing his family farm. A seasoned outdoorsman, he revels in crappie fishing, hunting turkey, and foraging for morel mushrooms in spring, and waterfowl and deer hunting come fall. Residing in Wood River, IL, with his wife Kate and their two daughters, Sophie and Marlie, John is the go-to real estate agent for those looking to buy or sell land in southern central Illinois. With his dedication, he’ll strive to earn your trust and go the extra mile to provide a service that aligns with your needs and exceeds your expectations.
