My experience with Ranch Enterprises, and it's subsidiaries, begin in 2009. I'd read bad reviews, but knew the land where I was hoping to buy, (my father and uncles leased that ranch in the '70s), and I also found their terms acceptable. My household finances had suffered a serious blow in 2005 that led to our credit being less than stellar, so I understood that in order to get the property we wanted we would have to pay a higher interest rate. I also understood that because the Seller was holding the note, whatever land I bought would be priced higher to cover the Sellers's cost. (That's business!) In 2009 we bought our first tract, added an adjoining tract in about 2012, and a third in about 2014. We had a total of 408 acres and built a house on the first tract, living off grid when we weren't away working. In 2021, after a health crisis, we sold all three tracts and made a decent profit. Between 2009 and 2021, we had times that we struggled with employment and later on, declining health, and every single time that we got in a financial bind, I called the main office and they worked with us.
To Daniel L. - You do understand that this is Texas and in Texas it is rare to purchase lands where the oil & mineral rights convey, don't you?
To Nineteeth J. - Please let us know what county and ranch this was in because this has NOT been my experience. As a Seller and Seller's Agent, title had NO problem with the title searches and giving Warranty Deeds to the Buyer at close. The 'subdivision' surveys used in all deals I've been a party to have been valid and acceptable to lenders.
