Homeowners, first time buyers, farmers and ranchers alike have yet another option by way of the real estate market, as real estate company Hayden Outdoors places roots in California, as well as the Central Valley.

Oakdale High School alum and longtime community member Kevin Brunk has joined forces with the firm as a Realtor for the Colorado-based company. Proving to be a true family affair, Brunk’s youngest brother Daniel serves as the Director of Marketing for the company in Colorado. Also joining the grassroots California team is Joseph Welch, serving as Managing Broker.

The real estate company first began its start in the business in 1976, as Leo Hayden began selling farms and ranches in Kansas. From then until present day, the real estate company has expanded to 28 states, with a team of over 200 brokers and agents.

“The team is composed of brokers and agents with experience and knowledge in their markets and an affinity to do what they say they will,” Kevin Brunk explained. “Hayden Outdoors is about honesty and integrity with customers and a rich sense of land stewardship.”

Brunk went on to share Hayden Outdoors agents have a deep knowledge in the farm, ranch and recreational real estate market.

“Outdoor recreation is deep in our hearts and minds and it is what drives all of us at Hayden Outdoors,” Brunk continued.

Hayden Outdoors Real Estate has expanded into California, as well as other states to meet the demand of clients in search of a high quality experience when selling or buying rural real estate.

“We’re a team made up of ranchers, farmers, hunters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts,” Brunk said. “We all have roots in the amazing land, lakes and rivers that are such an important part of who we are and the fabric of our country.”

Embracing both a unique, as well as exciting marketing approach, the company showcases unique, jaw dropping properties and the lifestyle they offer on their show Life on the Land, which airs weekly on RFD-TV.

“Every episode includes an exciting adventure, living the lifestyle of a rural landowner and a preview of some of America’s most impressive land for sale,” stated Brunk.

As the pioneer duo of the California expansion, Brunk and Welch each bring with them something special to offer Central Valley clients. Welch, based in La Grange, has over four decades of cattle ranching and extensive land and agricultural real estate experience in the area. Brunk brings a career in architecture, planning and development, non-profit fundraising and wildlife conservation to the mix.

“Hayden Outdoors Real Estate is always on the lookout for high quality land professionals to join our California team,” Brunk stated. “Plans to expand our team are part of our business strategy to provide industry leading comprehensive brokerage service to clients throughout the country.”

The expansion to the West Coast, thus far, has proven to be successful for the Colorado-based firm. According to the team, California ranks in the top five for the company website traffic of buyers and sellers who have seen the company brand. -

“On a personal note,” the eldest Brunk brother concluded, “what makes expanding to California so special is that my brother Dan and I grew up in Oakdale where my wife Cheryl and I have made our home and raised our family. The amazing people in our hometown community of Oakdale make our work with area landowners, many who we’ve know our entire lives, so very special.”
