Mason & Morse Ranch Company announced on May 18 that it has completed 257 ranch, farm, recreational land, and rural property transactions since 2022, totaling approximately $484.8 million and about 407,812 acres across 11 states. The company reported a median sale-to-list result of approximately 95.5% during this period.
The announcement is intended to help landowners evaluate brokerages based on recent transaction activity rather than only listing inventory or advertising reach. The company emphasized that closed-sale evidence provides practical insights into market activity, pricing discipline, acreage experience, and the ability to move complex rural properties from listing to closing.
According to Mason & Morse Ranch Company’s data since 2022, there were notable results including: 132 closings at or above 95% of list price; the largest acreage closing was for a property of about 92,447 acres; and the highest-value closing reached $48.25 million. These figures are presented as indicators of current performance rather than lifetime totals or national network claims.
The company highlighted that successful ranch brokerage requires specialized knowledge beyond traditional real estate skills—such as understanding water rights, grazing capacity, improvements, legal access, wildlife habitat and conservation potential—and stressed the importance of accurate pricing in aligning with buyer expectations. Accurately priced ranches typically sell within about ten to twelve months while overvalued properties may remain on the market much longer.
Mason & Morse Ranch Company employs more than twenty agents and staff members with a combined total of over one hundred thirty years’ expertise in land dealings and has operated as an employee-owned entity since 2011 according to the official website. John Stratman serves as both principal owner and associate broker at Mason & Morse Ranch Company according to the official website.
The firm promotes western lifestyle preservation by supporting multi-generational land legacies and ethical management practices while focusing on marketing farms, ranches and land through innovative strategies with respect for terrain and property owners according to the official website.
For sellers considering representation options for their ranch properties, Mason & Morse Ranch Company suggests evaluating brokerages based on specialization in rural assets as well as demonstrated closed-sale experience.
