Farm and Ranch Agent

Job DetailsJob Location: Bryan, TX 77802The Farm & Ranch Real Estate associate will specialize in the listing, marketing, and sale of agricultural and rural properties including working farms, ranches, hunting tracts and recreational acreage. This commission-based sales role requires deep local market knowledge, strong relationship-building skills, and hands-on prospecting to develop and manage a pipeline of buyers and sellers. The associate will manage the full transaction lifecycle from listing and marketing to negotiation, due diligence coordination, and closing while providing practical, trusted advice on property-specific issues such as water rights, easements, mineral interests, and agricultural operations. The Associate must be a self-motivated team member willing to work in a close-knit and fast paced team environment that promotes trust and the exchange of information between the Associate and members of the Brokerage Division.

Build and maintain a referral network of investors, ranchers, farm operators, and developers; participate in local events and industry organizations. Prepare and handle transaction documents, including letters of intent (LOIs), commission and listing agreements, buyer representation agreements, co-broker and referral agreements, and other brokerage paperwork. Negotiate exclusive listing agreements with landowners using clear, respectful communication suited to rural clients. Work directly with clients to define property parameters, transaction terms, and any limitations or special considerations for sales and listings. Lead and support contract negotiations and due diligence during land transactions, coordinating title, surveys, environmental checks, and other closing steps. Keep clients informed with timely, market-specific intelligence that affects value—commodity markets, water rights, mineral issues, easements, zoning, and local development pressures. Assist in marketing each property: create accurate listings, update collateral and websites, coordinate photography and drone or aerial imagery, and ensure materials reflect the property’s character. Collaborate with team members to craft tailored brokerage service proposals for potential clients and prospects. Be active in the local community — attend agricultural events, serve on committees when appropriate, and network with county business owners, agents, and land stewards. Participate in bi-weekly Land Services team calls and market staff meetings to review pipeline, share leads, and strategize on listings and buyers. Compile and present monthly activity and status reports for assigned properties to owners, keeping them informed of prospects, showings, and market feedback.
