Assistant Ranch Manager Jobs in College Station, TX

The Farm & Ranch Real Estate associate will specialize in the listing, marketing, and sale of agricultural and rural properties including working farms, ranches, hunting tracts and recreational acreage. This commission-based sales role requires deep local market knowledge, strong relationship-building skills, and hands-on prospecting to develop and manage a pipeline of buyers and sellers. The associate will manage the full transaction lifecycle from listing and marketing to negotiation, due diligence coordination, and closing while providing practical, trusted advice on property-specific issues such as water rights, easements, mineral interests, and agricultural operations. The Associate must be a self-motivated team member willing to work in a close-knit and fast paced team environment that promotes trust and the exchange of information between the Associate and members of the Brokerage Division. The Associate will benefit from exposure to a seasoned high-volume brokerage team and referrals driven by Oldham Goodwin’s current platform and sphere of influence.
