BRANSON MO NEWS: Southwest Missouri RealtySouthwest Missouri Realty on Sept. 1 moved its main operations from Ozark to Springfield with the purchase of 2103 E. Sunshine St. SWMR & Associates LLC was formed in 2013 at 757 N. 20th St. in Ozark by four former Murney Associates agents – Frank Lorenz, Tonya Murfin-Hayes, Shannon Todd and Barry Dickemann – after the closure of their Murney office. The agency expanded its reach with a Springfield presence in Kickapoo Corners at 3608 S. Campbell Ave., Lorenz said. That office was replaced when Southwest Missouri Realty purchased the Sunshine building June 1 for undisclosed terms with financing from Bank of Bolivar. The property has a 2017 appraised value of $694,500, according to Greene County assessor records.
