High Heels and Horse Poop

Many years ago before we were Realtors®, my husband and I once found ourselves in a horse pasture with a real estate agent who wore high heels and hose.  Understandably, she was reluctant to walk through the pasture to see the barn with us, even though we loaned her our bug spray!  Nor did she volunteer to ride along in the seller’s dirty pick-up truck to see the property line boundaries.

This incident made us ask why there weren’t more farm and ranch Realtors® who knew something about farm and ranch properties, and were well-prepared to show (or list) them.  That began our mission to provide buyers (and sellers) with informed farm and ranch property real estate advice.

We know the difference between a barn and a workshop.  If there is concrete in a barn, we know where it belongs.  We understand fencing choices for different animals and why they are so important.  We can tell the difference between pasture grass and scrub.  We bring our muck boots and, if needed, our 4WD truck.

We also understand the mindset that the well-being of your animals is often more important than having the latest bells and whistles in your own housing.  Or that you look at flood plains before price tags.  We know the difference between dirt and soil.

The reason we know and care about all this is because we have been hobby farmers and horse owners for most of our lives; and the things that matter to you matter to us.

If you’re looking for a farm and ranch Realtor ® (or two, since we often function as a team), we promise to show up ready, willing, and able to do the job.  And that’s no bull!
