1. As an agent what kind of properties are your focus?

Rural Recreational Properties.  There's not much I haven't handled over the years, but my favorite type of property is recreational ranches.  Living in a small town, you help people buy and sell all types of residential, commercial, and agricultural properties.  I enjoy working with people and helping them in the buy/sell process.  It can be very complex. 

2. Where is your territory?

I cover the entire state of Texas, but primarily south Texas.  I sell and appraise a lot of rural - ranch and farm properties - in the South Texas area between San Antonio and Corpus Christi, but I go just about anywhere.

3. What methods do you use to sell ranch and farm properties in South Texas?

It starts with dynamic listings - I help sellers get the most from their listing.  I use my website and leverage it with other websites specializing in rural real properties.  There are a lot of wannabes, but not a lot of people have the experience I bring to the table.

4. What interests you most about these kinds of properties?

Nature - I enjoy getting out & seeing ranches and the native wildlife. 

5. Any additional special experience you bring to this kind of real estate?

I've led a number of local organizations, and am a member of just about everything that's relevant.  But I think, besides that, there's no substitute for travel.  I've found that I really enjoy traveling not only through the state, but also internationally.  I like going anywhere but here.  Out THERE, Whereever that may be.  It's one thing to open an office and put up a sign, but it's another to be able to blindfold someone and ask them to tell you where they are just by the smell, the wildlife and nature sounds, and the terrain. You can't duplicate that experience on a business card.
