How'd that come to be?

Ray Price, um, and, uh, Faron Young.

Well, my dad was a fireman in Amarillo, Texas for a while, one of the times he quit, came back.

Um, and while he was a fireman, I think Ray Price came through town.

I think that's where he met him.

I can't remember.

But, um, and he needed a, a fiddle player and a, I mean, a, a background singer, and he just, he got the job.

What- what does it take to be able to go into that and maybe buy 20 acres? You know, what- what- what does that look like when you're representing the other side too?

Well, like you say, I do represent both buyers and sellers, and over the years, from the, from the buyer side, I've transitioned more into working with developers.

They'll come to me because I, they know I know how to handle the process from getting it under contract, working out the long ter- due diligence terms, and getting it to closing.

Um, from a buyer side, uh, just a residential buyer side, if, um...

It's- it's finding somebody that's willing to sell is getting harder and harder.

You do have to find the old farmer who, "I'm ready to retire, and I'm ready to cash in." And then you look at it, okay, how many lots can I do? Do we wanna go in and do an estate, uh, or equestrian estates where we cut them into f- nice five-acre tracts, minimum square footage, put the restrictions around it to where you have a beautiful community, or do you wanna come in and cut one-acre lots, half-acre lots on the road, put flag lots in behind them? So it's determining those type factors.

Um, and it's just, it's getting harder and harder to find those, those nice pieces.

Um, I guess, I guess share, share with me what has been maybe one of the craziest deals you've ever done, um, in, in this land game.
