Why Work With Us?

“It was a pleasure working with Mitch West and Louie Swope on the sale of my south texas cattle and hunting ranch. They provided qaulified buyers from the first day of listing and followed through with each prospect until contract closed. For ranches of this size they were able to come with a buyer in a relatively short time. Would work with them again and recommend them to any buyer or seller.”

West and Swope Ranches represented the sellers on a ranch we purchased for our registered cattle operation. Louie Swope was our primary point of contact during the complex transaction. We found Louie to be very professional, helpful and prompt during our interaction. Louie played a key role in achieving the successful completion of the transaction to the benefit of both seller and buyer.

Louie Swope is one of the finest real estate professionals around. My brother recommended Louie Swope to me, saying he uses a drone to photograph the property — a drone. As cutting edge as that is, Louie struck me as a seasoned pro, advising me about the value of roadside frontage, easements, mineral rights and many other crucial details. When I contracted him to do the job for me, he hit the ground running, helping me set a reasonable price and then drumming up potential buyers. Even when I threw him a curve by setting aside surface rights to a portion of the land for one buyer, he found a buyer for the rest of the property, worked out complex mineral rights and easement agreements, and arranged a precise survey to lock it all down. From contract to closing, this man earned every dime of his commission!!

Louie Swope and Mitch West represented our family in the sale of our father’s ranch and we could not be happier with the job they did for us. They provided us with expert advice, and through their contacts, they were able to quickly bring in qualified potential buyers. They did a great job representing all four of us and they were extremely patient and worked hard to address everyone’s concerns. I highly recommend this team.

Our decision to choose West and Swope Ranches as our listing real estate company was based on their knowledge of ranching families, knowledge of the uniqueness of selling farms and ranches, and the exclusive focus your company makes on only selling farm and ranch land. From day one, we appreciated your aggressive and professional marketing efforts and how you kept us informed as we went through the selling process. Louie Swope, Mitch West, Bill West and the whole staff are exceptional individuals who in our case brought a seller and buyer together, which ultimately led to a happy, win-win conclusion for everyone.

"We had 60 acres with 1300 feet of waterfront on Lake Placid near Seguin for sale. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our realtors, West and Swope. Mitch West, Louie Swope, and Kirk Moody and their team are skilled, honest, and personable. We love the property and didn’t want to see it developed into a subdivision in deference to homeowners who live there and have multiple watercraft on the lake. Although developers would have paid more, West and Swope found a buyer who would love and preserve the land like we do. We are grateful for their patience, understanding and expertise. If you want to sell or buy land, you won’t find a better firm than West and Swope Ranches."
