Joseph Presley

Board Member

Joseph Presley was born and raised in beautiful Madison, Mississippi. His love of the outdoors is evident in everything he does. Spending time with his father from the age of three in the woods and lakes of his beloved Mississippi, Joseph developed knowledge for the land and all it offers. From learning how to set a spread of decoys and how to call, to training his black lab, Morgan, to retrieve, Joseph developed his extensive knowledge of the land from living the land.

He takes great pride in understanding the true value of putting together a tract of land with a potential owner and marrying the value of the property with the needs of the buyer. Joseph earned his degree in Real Estate from Delta State University and always knew that his passion for the outdoors and wildlife would take him to his Real Estate career focused on selling recreational land. Joseph’s hobbies include duck, deer and turkey hunting. Obviously, he is a true LAND PRO!!!
