Bryan, Texas (PRWEB) August 07, 2015 -- As one of the most storied ranches in Texas heads toward the finality of sale and enters a new era of ownership, the question of where a prospective buyer might source funding for such a record breaking acquisition as the $725 million dollar icon is answered today in part at least as Capital Farm Credit announces their selection as lender within the sales team.

“When you look at the enormity and complexity of this project with the land, minerals, infrastructure, livestock and equipment involved, this deal is not for the faint of heart,” states Bernard Uechtritz, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty

“We have been working with brokers Sam Middleton and Bernard Uechtritz for some months now in order to be in a position to completely underwrite and lend on this incredible ranch and historic opportunity,” states Capital Farm Credit CEO Ben Novosad. “We are now in a position to offer a qualified buyer, joint venture or entity non-contingent financing and a fast close when purchase and sale contracts are submitted.”

Sam Middleton owner of Chas. S Middleton and Sons of Lubbock said, “I have worked with Capital Farm Credit for many years in many successful transactions and I believe them to be one of the premier lenders in our agricultural industry. They are a great fit for this project with Bernie and me.”

“When you look at the enormity and complexity of this project with the land, minerals, infrastructure, livestock and equipment involved, this deal is not for the faint of heart,” stated Bernard Uechtritz, marketing broker for Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “Sam and I were approached by many would-be lenders and jointly interviewed several in this process.”

Uechtritz continued, “We chose Capital Farm Credit because not only were they very capable in that they had the expertise and capacity to deliver on this deal, but moreover, their team was willing to get down in the trenches with us for months now and roll up their sleeves to spend the time, money and effort to get the job done. That’s called commitment, and Capital Farm Credit was not afraid to make such a commitment! As a result, they will play a pivotal role in the success of this transaction as we enter the home stretch of our marketing and sales program.”

“Sam and Bernie are recognized as some of the best at what they do, and we’re proud to work with them as they market the Waggoner Ranch,” said Novosad. “The Waggoner is a big part of Texas’ rich cowboy history and tradition. Capital Farm Credit has supported and provided a reliable source of credit to Texas farmers and ranchers for the better part of a century. Blending Texas market expertise with cutting edge financial products is what we do, and we’re very comfortable doing it.”

“We also understand this is a rare opportunity,” added Novosad. “The Waggoner Ranch has been under the same family ownership since 1849. This is the first time it has been up for sale, and we’re excited to be a part of history in the making.”
