Land and Energy are the very cornerstones of life as we know it. They are in fact, the natural capital within the currency exchange of our very existence. It then follows that we are reliant upon those that conserve land and natural resources, to produce food, or find energy, and deliver it. For many, the air they breathe, the food they eat and the water they drink, depend entirely on the deliverance of energy.

Under all things, lies the land. Under and above the land, exists energy resources. The complex challenges of land ownership and energy production in all forms has never been more visible, more entwined, more critical, nor in fact, the inherent charge more clear.

Never has our world been so dependent on Energy and specifically upon critical, evolving, innovation within the sector. Peace, prosperity, conservation and survival of the world population relies on energy.

In Texas, Ranch and Mineral ownership, optically, have always been synonymous in the purview of the public. The realities are of course oftentimes different. That said, the wildcatters, first cowboys and cattle barons together with all the legends and legacies of the past have given way to today’s innovative stewards of land and energy after a journey through centuries.

Stewards of the land and entrepreneurs of energy must in many instances balance the same scales of use, production, diversity, conservation, and responsibility, equating to longevity. They must first be learned students of history’s accomplishments and failures, to then be responsible innovators and entrepreneurs of efficiencies today and tomorrow.

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.”

GLEN JOHNSON, KELLY HART & HALLMAN Lawyer for Largest Shareholder

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.

I met Bernie, who represented ALCOA on the disposition of Sandow Lakes Ranch. I was not quite sure what to expect, but I can tell you that Bernie is smart, hard working for his clients and resourceful as any agent I have ever worked with. His knowledge of ranch land throughout the world I feel strongly is unsurpassed.

It’s a bit of a niche product type, and he has spent his entire career becoming a true master of his craft. I would strongly recommend him to any friend or client when it comes to ranch land acquisition or disposition..”

Multiple national commercial and ranch brokerage companies were interviewed through the responsive presentation requirements of the RFP process.

Mr. Uechtritz and his team’s responsive opinions of value, and unique approach along with a realistic approach in defining the marketing challenges, requirements, plans and recommendations of the 30,000 acres of land, 48,000 AcreFeet of groundwater, 19,600 Acrefeet of surface water and 2,000 acres of brownfield power sites with industrial intermodal were thorough, detailed, and extensive.”

Bernie suggested we utilize a stalkinghorse approach, blanket advertising and use his media connections to create the excitement to surface a buyer.

Initially, I pushed back, but again Bernie convinced us this would work, and it did. Bernie was able to get the ultimate buyer to consider the entire property, negotiate an acceptable price and close in less than one month.

Bernie’s track-record speaks for itself and is why we chose him as our agent over all other brokers. Bernie gets properties sold. From the moment he takes the listing, he is 100% committed to getting the property sold and will be creative, diligent, and flexible to get a deal done.

In our experience, Bernie helped create a competitive bidding process with a very aggressive marketing campaign and potential for a stalking-horse bid process. That creative option brought multiple offers to the table and ended with both properties being sold/closed approximately 30 days from the buyer’s initial visit to the property.”

In the course of the ranch sale process, Mr. Uechtritz managed the expectations for multiple owners who had multiple views and opinions regarding the sale of the Ranch. He was very good at helping the owners reach a consensus regarding the sale.

In addition, he kept all of the owners informed and he did not favor one owner over another. Mr. Uechtritz did a very good job in handling the sale of the Rio Bonito Ranch and he is someone I would recommend as a ranch broker.”

The ranch was very effectively marketed through numerous professional contacts and multiple other sources both nationally and internationally.

ICON did a great job shepherding the closing process with an incredibly difficult and demanding Buyer.

I started throwing everything I had at him, the mallet, me, the horse, a few Polocrosse moves, anything I could think of to slow him down... If there was a kitchen sink handy I would have thrown that at him as well.” A more disciplined defensive team effort in the second chukker kept St. Regis off of the scoreboard with Uechtritz’s efforts starting to wear on the talented Figueras. Uechtritz added two goals in the second chukker with Mariano Gracida scoring for the first time on the day. St. Regis was blanked as ChukkerTV took the lead at the end of the first half, 4½-4. The ChukkerTV defense continued to dominate play in third period action as they shut down Figueras and the St. Regis attack for the second straight chukker. It was at this point that tempers flared between Figueras and Uechtritz who began comparing Argentine and Australian vernacular and intimidation tactics, causing the umpires to step in to separate the two. Meantime, the fervent Nacho fans in the VIP tent were going wild, yelling to “take him out” and “get him Nacho”. Every inch of the rail in the VIP tent was packed, every eye on the game. The half-dozen Uechtritz fans put their drinks on hold. Gracida managed the only goal of the period as TV stretched their lead to a goal-and-a-half, 5½-4. “He’s a helluva player,” offered Uechtritz, “down the boards, he was like a bloody train that just kept coming and it turned in to quite a battle,” he added. Boyd’s second goal of the day cut the ChukkerTV lead down to a half-goal, 5½-5, but a final goal from Pepa padded the ChukkerTV lead and gave them the 6½-5 win. “I knew from the moment the umpire blew the final whistle and he (Nacho) flashed a big smile at me we had earned each other’s respect and each made a friend for life; it was one of those moments in sport and the only two people who loved it more than the crowd were he and I.” “An absolute sportsman and gentleman, Nacho was kind enough to critique my play on the day, pointing out — in the kindest and most diplomatic way — what I did well and what I needed to work on.” Don’t miss the 2016 Rematch at Rio Grande Park December 18th! • G CLICK TO VIEW
