r ec og n i z i n g C . PAT R I C K B AT E S — th e “ G I AN T B R O KE R ” FIFTY YEARS OF E XCELLENCE

“ IN M ARCH 1970,
I was asked to sell two Wyoming ranches
without any previous experience. Lack of
any background or preconceived notions
has proven to be advantageous because
it forced me to study everything involved.
For six months my entire focus was on
these places – and we closed on both
ranches by Labor Day.

From then on I was hooked — the owners, their managers, and
the astounding beauty and productivity of ranches and farms
completely fascinated me.

Over the years since, I have admired the amazing passion for land
buyers and sellers demonstrate — and I can gratefully say that
this same passion holds me willingly in its firm grip to this day.”
