Colorado Client Testimonials

A longtime client and friend needed ranch real estate help and I introduced him to Brian. It was an emotional decision for the family and towards the end there were a few unexpected issues. But Brian got the deal done and my client was very pleased. So was I. Thanks, Brian.

Seller Rep, Elk Meadows Ranch

On behalf of Ney and myself, thank you [Brian Hartley] so much for all of your help with the listing and sale of our family’s beloved Ponderosa. We have loved the ranch as our family retreat. Most of our 13 grandchildren grew up with this as our forever family ranch. This was truly our “dream come true”. As you know, this was a very difficult decision to finally sell the property so we could fund the next 30 years of our retirement.
From the very first meeting with you and through the entire sale process, you have been the ultimate thoughtful professional. You were sensitive to our needs and desires and we could not have asked for a better communication process. Ney and I both were always comfortable with your analyses of our ranch value and the entire sale process.
Thank you for making this a professional and understandable process.

Terry and Ney Dobkins

My family owned, operated and shared with family and friends one of the most beautiful ranches in SW Colorado for 70 years (4 generations). Over time it became increasingly clear that due to changing circumstances of our family we needed to begin considering a sale. We were first introduced to Live Water Properties when Brian Hartley was the Broker for a property bordering our ranch. Because of how well he managed that transaction we began discussions with him about a sale of our property. We also discussed the possibilities with a number of other brokers, both national and local. Because of our great love of the property and so much of our family life being spent there, the process was slow and painful.
Over time, and after consultation with others experienced in the purchase/sale of exclusive high-value properties, I became convinced that Live Water Properties and Brian Hartley, would be our best choice to manage such a sale. Over many years they have developed strong relationships across the country with high-income individuals with the resources able to buy, perserve and responsibly manage these rare properties. Brian is also a person with strong family values and understood the importance of respecting how our family goes about making major decisions.
He was wonderful to work with – he is both extremely knowledgeable about the dynamics involved in selling these rare, high-value properties, and he is patient, flexible, persistent and keeps on top of things. He was always quickly returned all of our calls and requests for additional information. Brian handled all of our concerns and worked with us patiently until all the family finally reached a consensus to sell and the terms and price we would ask.
They launched their broadscale national advertising of our ranch in Spring of 2023 with one of their exquisitely beautiful listing brochures which they spent months preparing. Because of the time he spent in our valley over several years he had accumulated an exceptional selection of photographs across the seasons. There was a quick and large response. By mid-summer the ranch was under contract. We completed the all cash closing within 4% of our asking price. His understanding of the complex dynamics between buyers and sellers played a major role in achieving this; Brian has also been extremely helpful facilitating our subsequent 1031 exchanges.
Our experience with Brian Hartley and Live Water Properties has been extremely positive and we gladly give them our highest recommendation.

William Y. Penn, Jr., Seller of Penn Ranch

A family client asked me to interview and hire a ranch broker to sell a very unique recreational ranch property. After numerous interviews with all the known brokerages and being in the ranch brokerage business myself in Texas, the choice became a no-brainer after meeting Brian Hartley. Brian understands the product as well as anyone I’ve met with. He also understands how important these rare assets are to the families that own them. I look forward to many more successful sales with Brian and give him my highest recommendation!
