Just got a great testimonial from a broker that referred his client to us!

"I’ve know Michael Landreth for over 25 years. He and I have been members of RLI which is the Realtors Land Institute specializing in Land and Ranch sales. In my mind there isn’t a better Ranch Cowboy Realtor in the state. I know about Ranching, fencing, cross fencing, cow calf pairs and water rights but that Isn’t my expertise. Michael knows most of the ranches in five states and their history. Michael is always the one that I call. His new partner David Sietsema brings some smarts and a fresh new outlook on the business.

The last customer that I sent to Michael to buy a ranch was extremely satisfied and said that those two cowboys compliment each other well.

After a long search, I found a new hat! It is feather light at only 25 lbs, won't blow away in the wind, and helps you remember to keep your tetanus shot up to date.

In 2023, there were 66 ranch sales totaling $365m, 153,000 acres, and 35 miles of river frontage.

The Colorado chapter of Realtors Land Institute hosts 3 marketing meetings per year in person. I just presented a listing to 80 of the top Colorado land brokers. Multiple 8 figure deals are put together at every one of these meetings. It is the place to get deals done!

I had a new adventure last week while photographing a property with 3/4 of a mile of Colorado River frontage: I was able to obtain a Certificate of Authorization from the FAA to fly my drone in Class E airspace near the Garfield County Airport. The paperwork hurdles were worth it! The trees are mostly bare for winter, but I was able to work the footage and came up with this photo put through an illustration filter.

In the 3rd quarter of 2023, we tracked $57.7m in recreational ranches in Colorado that sold, covering 15,614 acres. While this is down from 2022’s banner sales volume, we still perceive this as a healthy market environment. Ranch inventory is starting to build back to a level that will give buyers some choice.

It is the best time of the year in Colorado right now! We always have a flurry of activity in the fall gathering photos and video for next season's ranch listings.

Last week, the Colorado Chapter of the Realtors Land Institute met for the annual ranch tour. We toured 6 ranches over 3 days in the San Luis Valley and La Veta areas of Colorado. Here is a short flyover of one of the ranches we toured. While this 6,000+ acre ranch was not for sale, we had a great time learning about what the owners have done over the last decade to create value on this ranch. They worked hard to increase their agricultural output through improvements in infrastructure, water utilization, soils management, high elevation cow research partnerships, and other techniques.
