SAHA Small Owner of the Year
Brent Haselhorst
Brent Haselhorst
Brent’s Property Management career began 33 years ago when his parents began buying rental property near Southwest Missouri State University. Many of his school breaks were not spent at Daytona Beach or Cancun, but usually spent at Lowes or Home Depot remodeling the most recent purchase with his dad, with an occasional trip to Table Rock Lake.
On graduation day Brent’s parents closed on their 4th rental house on the way to Brent’s graduation ceremony. After the ceremony Brent met them in the lobby to pick up the new keys, He then took them in his cap and gown to the Sunvilla dorm to give the keys to his awaiting new tenants, because of course he had it pre- lease prior to even owing the home.
A year later Brent completed his Masters in Business Administration from Missouri State University, this is when he decided that maybe he could carve out a career doing what he loved.
The next year the family bought and rehabbed 12 single family homes and than followed that up with the purchase of Wedgewood Apartments, their first 18-unit apartment building. As they say the rest is history!
Today Haselhorst Properties owns over 400 beds, near the University and has provided housing to thousands of college students over the years. Brent is a past President of SAHA and has served on the board for over 20 years and he credits SAHA for much of the knowledge he has gained over the years.
