Farm & Ranch Sales Services
Trusted Agricultural Property Expertise in Durango & New Mexico
Preserving Legacies, Connecting People with Land
Growing up with deep respect for the land and those who work it, I bring genuine appreciation and specialized expertise to farm and ranch sales throughout Durango, Colorado, and New Mexico.
My background in Navy Search & Rescue operations trained me to analyze land, boundaries, and critical details with precision. For my clients, this means every acre is evaluated with the practical considerations that matter most in agriculture — water, grazing, soil, and infrastructure.
Farm and ranch sales aren’t just real estate transactions — they’re about preserving family legacies, supporting agricultural communities, and connecting the right buyers with land they’ll truly care for and steward responsibly.

Through my network of ag lenders, soil specialists, and ranch management professionals, you gain access to the region’s best experts to guide you on everything from irrigation to livestock facilities.
