Houston-based luxury brokerage Nan & Company Properties, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, has launched a Farm & Ranch Division, the company announced on Wednesday.
The strategic move by the brokerage comes as buyers have sought out large parcels of land outside of urban areas in the last two years for their second and third homes, the company said in a press statement.
In tandem with the new division, Nan & Company has also opened a new Lake Livingston office, marking the brokerage’s fourth office, and made two new hires.
