MERIDIAN, MS, December 21, 2023 - Randy Pope has been inducted into Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Pope has established himself in the real estate and recreational land industry as the founder of Mississippi Land and Lakes. Known for its substantial unique presence in comprehensive recreational land design development, and management, the organization intensely focuses on lodge and lake design, hunting, fishing, and all other popular outdoor sports. In his role, Mr. Pope and his team have a unique responsibility, including the procurement, design, and oversight of projects from start to finish. Additionally, he and his team evaluate each property to determine its highest and best use and are frequently hired by new and existing property owners to discuss their findings and create a very important development plan that adds maximum value and pleasure to the property. In 2004 he launched Mississippi Land and Lakes in Meridian, Mississippi. After he developed his first recreational project, the Whippoorwill Lodge Mr. Pope realized how difficult it would be for a landowner to successfully develop a trophy recreational property on their own and clearly understood how valuable the one-stop shop list of multiple services would be to American landowners and outdoor enthusiasts.
Additionally, Mr. Pope has found success as a realtor running the land division for Hill Real Estate Group LLC. The synergy created by using Mississippi Land and Lakes Services while assisting land buyers and sellers is incredible! Based in Meridian, Hill Real Estate Group is recognized as the largest full-service real estate firm in the Mississippi Foothills Region.
Before transitioning into real estate, design, and development, Mr. Pope spent over four decades in land and timber acquisition, management, and sales. After college, he spent five years as the Mississippi land and timber procurement manager for Mobil Oil Corporation. He subsequently founded his own land timber company in 1979, when the industry was expanding rapidly throughout the south. When the timber industry took a dramatic downturn in 2000 and the recreational land industry was exploding, Mr. Pope refocused his efforts on the unique recreational land business. Looking toward the future, he aims to assist as many clients as possible in their desires to take their unique properties to the next level, reach their full potential, and get the maximum pleasure and value out of their properties.
Active civically, Mr. Pope invests time as a volunteer at area schools, providing landscaping and cleanup on their campuses. He is also involved with the National Wild Turkey Federation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving and enhancing the wild turkey and the hunting lifestyle. Among other nonprofits, Mr. Pope is active with Ducks Unlimited and Quail Unlimited and is a life member of the National Rifle Association and the prestigious Safari Club International.
Mr. Pope was educated at Mississippi State University, earning an undergraduate degree in forestry and wildlife management. Well-qualified in his current career, he is also a licensed real estate agent in Mississippi.
In light of his success, Mr. Pope has received multiple worldwide Hunting Awards through Safari Club International. He was also recently selected for a featured article in the U.S. and International Real Estate Top Agent Magazine. Mr. Pope attributes his success to his mother, who is 92 years old and still active. His mother taught him to appreciate the beauty of nature and how to transform a property into a beautiful space. Mr. Pope also notes his father instilled in him a love for the great outdoors and credits his Dad for the hunting, fishing, and bush skills he retains today. Mr. Pope is adamant that his success is very dependent on his two extremely valuable teammates. Mrs. Cathy Haguewood, Company CFO and Licensed Real Estate Broker, has been on board with Randy right along, starting her 40th year working with him. Company Ecologist Lauren Palatini is serving critical roles as the Technology Manager, a licensed Mississippi Real Estate Agent, and Assistant Recreational Land Developer. These two brilliant women are imperative to the success of the company!
