A M E R I C A ' S BEST BROKERAGES 120 The LandReport | S U M M E R 2 0 1 7 LANDREPORT.COM Chas. S. Middleton and Son www.chassmiddleton.com (806) 763-5331 2016 Sales: > $500 million Who: Fourth-generation farm/ranch real estate firm focusing on the sale of ranches in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas. Wow: Co-brokered the sale of the historic Waggoner Ranch in 2016. Recently represented the seller of the historic 32,841-acre Ford Ranch, which was acquired by the City of San Angelo. Insight: "Demand is still fairly slow for trophy recreation properties, but stronger for larger working cattle ranches," says Sam Middleton. "Since the first of the year, our firm has sold or contracted over 10 ranches in New Mexico and could have sold more if the inventory had been available." Chip Cole & Associates www.chipcoleranchbroker.com (325) 655-3555 2016 Sales: < $50 Million Who: West Texas ranch brokerage that has sold more than 945,000 acres since 1981. Insight: "West Texas transac- tions have been decidedly fewer the last two years due primarily to the price of oil and the down- turn in that industry," says Chip Cole. "But as the seriously moti- vated sellers are forced to seek the actual level of the market and buyers who have been sitting on their hands get restless, I predict the two shall meet in 2017."
