Rex Detamore, Real Estate Agent

Rex Detamore

Rex Detamore was raised in Stamford, Texas, and graduated from Stamford High School in 1989. His love for agriculture and the outdoors began early, working weekends and summers on his grandparents’ farm near Paint Creek in Haskell County. Hunting and fishing were a major part of his upbringing, and he still enjoys spending time in the field whenever he can.

Rex graduated from Tarleton State University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Business. He remains an active Tarleton alumnus and supporter, especially proud that his daughter, Macy, is carrying on the family tradition as a current Tarleton student. Rex is a proud supporter of Stamford youth sports, where both of his children, Macy and Reagan, have been active participants.

After college, Rex began his career with Wolfe Nursery and Garden Centers in Abilene, where he expanded his knowledge of landscaping and outdoor projects. He later worked for a steel and industrial supplier, quickly moving into a Regional Sales Manager role overseeing a large Texas territory. During that time, Rex began investing in real estate, a passion that grew into a full-time career.

He joined Ekdahl Real Estate in 2006 and earned his broker’s license in 2012. Today, Rex specializes in farm, ranch, and recreational properties, along with investment and quarry land transactions. His strong background in agriculture and business helps him provide insight and value to every client he serves.

Rex is also deeply involved in the Stamford community, serving as a longtime volunteer and chairman for the historic Texas Cowboy Reunion Rodeo. He believes in giving back to the place that helped shape who he is. Known for his integrity and personable approach, Rex takes pride in building relationships that last well beyond the closing table. Working with him is more than a transaction; it is the start of a lifelong connection.

I have bought and sold a few ranches over the last few years. And have used Rex Detamore every time as my agent for either buying or selling my ranch. Him and his agency are far none the best ranch agents out there. They listen to their customers wants or needs and are spot on every time for finding the right properties to buy. And as far as selling properties they go above and beyond and getting the best videos and pictures to get it sold. And as always know what they’re talking about when selling a property and its value.

My wife and I were referred to Rex and Ekdahl from a friend who had purchased a property through them several years before. Rex listened to what we described as the ideal property for our family and worked hard to find the property that was right for us. We never felt pressured our hurried during the entire process and Rex made it seamless and easy. A year and a half after we closed Rex still answers every phone call and responds to every text. He provides guidance and assistance on who to contact and things to consider long after the buying process was over. I would highly recommend Rex and Ekdahl to anyone looking to buy a property. The entire organization is top notch and they will go out of their way to make your dreams come true.

Once I talked with Rex for the first time I knew I was in good hands and the search was on to find a Ranch that checked all my boxes. I was a very picky client and wanted to see several places before I made my decision. After a few weeks of looking Rex found the perfect ranch that fit all my needs and we bought it. Rex Detamore is not only a top notch Realtor, He has also become a top notch friend.

Buying a ranch is a big decision. Where to buy, what to look for etc. Rex listened to our thoughts and offered advice that was helpful and knowledgeable. He showed us many properties and was very accommodating. Ultimately, we have bought and sold two ranches with him and are working on a third venture. He's a fun person to work with, making our transactions a positive experience.
