Cattle Ranches For Sale

Selling a portion of our family ranch in Big Piney, Wyoming, land held by our family since 1894, was a deeply emotional decision. Matt MacMillan and his associate Emily Feuz Staal expertly guided us through every step during the months prior to marketing the land. Matt was incredibly patient and he showed great sensitivity in managing the various needs and emotions of our different family members. Because this was our first time selling large parcels, we relied heavily on his expertise, and his negotiations with buyers secured a sale value that exceeded our expectations. His dedication didn’t stop at closing, as he continued to stay in touch to assist with the transition of assets. We are extremely grateful to Matt and his Live Water Properties team for skillfully and professionally guiding us through this successful sale. 

If you are considering purchasing a ranch in Montana, Idaho or Wyoming we can’t say enough great things about Jeff Shouse. Jeff is one of the smartest, driven and honorable people I know.  When he’s negotiating on your behalf he is firm, but fair, and delivers results.  Jeff’s knowledge and insight of ranches is phenomenal and his ability to keep transactions on track and moving forward is world class.  Jeff started out as our broker and quickly became a trusted advisor and friend.  Thank you Jeff for helping us find and buy our dream ranch!

We are writing you to relate our experience of dealing with Toby Griffith in the sale of our property at 123 Dallas Dome Rd. near Lander, WY. We had a very positive experience dealing with Toby, and have recommended him to acquaintances looking to sell a ranch. From the beginning, we feel Toby did an excellent job of guiding us through the whole process, explaining options, answering questions, and most importantly, keeping in touch. Toby was sensitive to the fact we had put so much blood, sweat, and tears into our ranch over the last 28 years, and that we wanted to be selective as far as who the next owner would be. He is just a great individual to work with all the way around. In addition to the successful sale of our ranch, we feel we have gained a friend. We were also impressed with the web brochure the LiveWater team assembled, and how the property was marketed in general.

Toby did a great job for us in selling our ranch! His insights regarding market conditions, understanding of our property details and circumstances, and judgment in navigating showings and prospective buyer discussions brought us a great result. I highly recommend him. Thanks!

Latham was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond. I was an out-of-town buyer, so I really needed someone that I could trust and who could be patient with us. His local knowledge and network of contacts have been incredibly helpful post-sale as well. I cannot recommend Latham highly enough.

“I have been in the real estate business since 1971. I have owned homes and land in the West for the past 40 years. I have bought, sold, developed and built a number of properties. I have met many real estate professionals along the way. Brian Hartley is the best “Ranch Real Estate Professional” in America. He is experienced, knowledgeable, honest and hard working. I trust Brian and rely upon his wisdom and judgement a great deal. Brian has represented me as a Seller and as a Purchaser. He’s damn good. I have known Brian for quite a few years. I not only consider Brian to be a trusted advisor but a good friend. He is well centered, a family man and a great outdoorsman. Brian has a pleasant and fun disposition. He represents his firm, a very good firm, very well.”

Our entire experience of Tate Jarry and of successfully selling our property in Cora, Wyoming was outstanding. His knowledge of the real estate market combined with his creation of extraordinary promotional materials which highlighted the unique qualities of our specific location generated interest locally as well as internationally. Through his clarity in all communications, he represented us and our goals as sellers and brought integrity to every aspect of the sales process. We are very pleased to have had the opportunity and good fortune to have worked with such an energetic, personable, and committed agent.

Over course of two years, Latham helped us find our dream mountain home in Jackson Hole. We started with a blank slate and he diligently showed us around the valley. We toured many homes and ultimately were able to narrow our search to one property in Teton Village. He provided tremendous insight on value, pros/cons and future enhancement potential, etc. Best of all, many of these meetings were held on the chair lift! Thank you Latham!

Now that we are fully moved and settling in, Carolyn and I wanted to thank Matt and Live Water Properties for the diligence, patience and expertise. Moving 1,800 miles while vetting easements, multiple water rights, land trusts and public land access (on top of the usual issues with any real estate purchase) could have been overwhelming. By making this process efficient and bringing clarity, Matt was key to us realizing a dream. We could not be happier with our purchase!

I recently worked with Latham Jenkins on the sale of a high-end home in Jackson, WY that was an asset of a foundation of which I’m a director. I’m confident that Latham helped us get a higher price for the house than almost any other broker could have achieved, because the actual sales price was higher than prices at which other brokers, with whom we had discussions, were willing to list the property. My perception is that Latham has exceptional marketing skills. He developed a compelling narrative about the home, the lot, and the subdivision in which it is located, accompanied by beautiful photography, which made it easy for potential buyers to envision how they would enjoy using the home and the amenities associated with the property.

Latham is the best realtor I have ever worked with. With unmatched knowledge of the Jackson Hole real estate market, an unbelievable work ethic and very sophisticated marketing Latham quickly sold our property —it was a pleasure to work with him and I hope to work with him again.
