Your willingness and ability to bond with co-brokers was not only critical to your selection as the lead broker in this case, it was a major reason for the overall success of the effort. You became able to project your enthusiasm onto others, and that, in my opinion, found the right buyer to become the next custodian of this piece of Western history.”

I can say without equivocation that the sale of the assets of the Estate would not have occurred, in the successful manner it did, without the expertise, skill, and Herculean efforts of Bernie Uechtritz. The details could fill a book, and I would be glad to provide much more detail to anyone who might wish to inquire.”

I can’t thank you enough for the incredible job you and your team did in helping us sell Barefoot Ranch. It was a unique asset (“one of one” as you like to say) that demanded a bespoke sales process to find just the right buyer. And you delivered!”
S. WIL VANLOH, JR. Founder & CEO
Your professional expertise was an essential element in expediting the sale and negotiating the closing. Throughout we had confidence and trust that the matter would be completed without undue stress and/or problems. We were very pleased with your team and their professionalism in dealing with our attorneys, landman and support staff.”

On behalf of the entire Anthony family, I want to express our appreciation for the wonderful services you and your organization provided to us in the successful repositioning of our Pecan Plantation property... after you had time to evaluate the uniqueness of the Pecan Plantation community, and how it was perceived by prospective buyers, your imagination and foresight directed us into a course of action that has greatly enhanced our opportunity for a much greater economic return than an outright sale.”

While your media campaign was fantastic, including a Bloomberg television report from the ranch, I think it is your strategic vision that truly sets you apart from your contemporaries...
...perhaps the part I respected most about working with you (literally daily for four months) was your commitment to the integrity of the process...
...it’s a pleasure to call you a good professional friend and I would much rather work with you than against you at any time in the future.”

Bernie brings a team approach... He sold one of America’s biggest ranches, the Waggoner Ranch, over half million acres, so I figured he could certainly handle mine - and he did!”
Bernie has represented me as a seller in two Texas ranch transactions in 2017 and and another in 2022 involving 9,200 acres.
I have been involved in real estate development and ranching throughout the United States for 48 years. I found Bernie to be a person of the highest integrity, who has deep professional knowledge, and is extremely diligent in execution of all transaction details. I would rate him as one of the top professionals I have dealt with during my enitre career.”

Polo is a longtime family passion & global networking platform for Icon Global & Bernard Uechtritz.
Winston Churchill once said – Polo is a Passport to the World – and so it is.
Nacho Figueras and Delfina Blaquier are known globally as the foremost individual promoters of Polo and faces of the sport today. It is through our friendship and because of a sport and lifestyle we both love that they have generously committed their personal time to travel from Buenos Aires Argentina to Fort Worth in support of UTSW FW through the NCHA and Icon Global. It is indeed a privilege, and we are grateful to welcome them to Texas.
Nacho Figueras & Bernard Uechtritz faced off at the 2015 World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen and returned as teammates in 2016 for St. Regis.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF POLO
The Ties of NCHA, AQHA, & POLO...
...Date back to the 1920’s, and the bloodlines of ranch quarter horse greats, such as famed Poco Bueno of the Waggoner, and the Pitchfork’s legacy of Trimmer, Seal Brown, Joe Bailey’s King, and other legends like Highbrow Cat!
The Pitchfork horses are very versatile. They’ve been tried and proven all over the world – in the pasture, rodeo arenas, polo fields and performance arenas.
The NCHA also shares past competitive riders who were also highly competitive Polo Players such as Preston Carter and Kenny McClean.
In 1985 Mclean, played against then HRH Prince Charles in Palm Beach Florida in a match which included Polo Legends Memo & Ruben Gracida.
Present day NCHA connections include Wesley Sinor of Houston and Executive Director of NCHA Jay Winborn.
Icon Global is first and foremost a marketing company. As and when and where we do that right, we then get to be a brokerage company, executing on deals and successfully servicing clients. A majority of our deals are quiet, off market and confidential. However, if required to aggressively and internationally market with high visibility...we can...and do!”
