Richard Mendenhall

Richard Mendenhall is the fifth generation of his family in real estate in Boone County since 1894, with 3 real estate offices and over 200 agents.

In 2001 he served as President for the National Association of REALTORS® and remains very active at NAR.

He holds a bachelor and master's degrees in education from the University of Missouri, and in 1968 he served, as a Green Beret military advisor in Vietnam.

Mendenhall has received numerous honors including Council of Real Estate Brokers and Managers (CRB) Hall of Leaders Award, the University of Missouri Faculty Alumni Award, Columbia Public Schools Foundation-Outstanding Alumni Award, and the International Distinguished Eagle Scout Award.

He prefers to say he is “just Richard” because he believes that titles and accomplishments do not really begin to tell people who you are.

He believes that “real leadership is lifting another person's vision to higher sights.”

And if you ask him what has the most importance and the greatest significance in his life and without hesitation he will tell you his daughter, Elizabeth, his son Ford, and his wife Denice.
