Curtis & Sons was started in 1948 by E. D. (Elmer) Curtis and his wife, Agnes. They were from the Kansas City area at the time and Elmer was working for the Ford Motor Company as Regional Sales Manager. He like the area so much they purchased 360 acres Northwest of Sheldon area that they called home. He tried to work part time in the real estate business but the business required him to work full time so he quit the Ford Motor Company to devote to his real estate business full time.
In 1958 Elmer unexpectedly died of a heart attack and his two sons took over the business. Bill at the time was working for Bank Of America in California. . Both Bill and Bud both returned home to continue the real estate business. In 1962 Bud took over the construction business and Bill continued the operations of the Real Estate Company. To date Curtis & Sons has built over four hundred and fifty homes in the Nevada and the surrounding areas and sold thousands of homes to buyers from around the world. In 1973 Monte came to work for his father. In 1978 Bill purchased Buds interest in the companies and continued until 1983 when he retired. In 1978 Monte married Linda Dobson Remington who at the time was working for Bill McCaffree as a legal secretary. Soon after she obtained her real estate licensed and joined the family business. When Bill retired in 1983 Monte and his wife took over both the construction and real estate business. Andy who was 8 at the time Monte and Linda were married said he would never sell real estate because all they ever did was work. Andy went to college in Springfield and Joplin at MSSU and got his degree in Criminal Justice. In 1994 Andy had enough of law enforcement and he obtained his real estate license and started doing what he said he would never do...(and he does it very well) In 2000 Andy wife Donetta came to work in the family business. Andy and Donetta has consistently been the top selling team for several years and have received numerous awards.
