Jeff
Soele has a long history in ranch investment and real
estate. Although he grew up in the city he always had a passion
for the great outdoors and his passion speaks for itself when
he talks of the land he loves. Born and raised in San Antonio,
Texas he attended the University of Texas at San Antonio where
he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Pre Law.
“I always thought I wanted to be a lawyer, but got into
the real estate business in 1984. I grew up a city boy, but
always loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, horses and more,
I started in the farm and ranch real estate business and have
been doing it ever since (23 years). I love what I do and pride
myself in being loyal, hard working and always remembering to
respect the integrity of the land and all of the resources it
gives us.”
Jeff has been specializing in selling Texas Hill Country live
water ranches with creeks, rivers, lakes and springs for the
past 23 years. He also sells and negotiates for exotic hunting
properties, horse ranches, commuter estates and exclusive South
and West Texas acreages. An appealing aspect of the business
is every ranch has a story and there is always something new
to learn, which for Jeff, “is in large part what makes
this business so rewarding!”
Soele has the knowledge gained by many years in the real estate
business and his personal experience buying and selling ranches
for his own use. “I can offer my clients hands on experience
in numerous areas of owning and running a ranch and happy to
assist clients long after the deal has closed. I love this land,
and it makes me happy to help people find their peace and passion
on a designer ranch suited to their personal needs.”
Owning a ranch and operating it as a business can be a tremendous
tax shelter. Soele has the practical knowledge and many years
experience to guide his clients through a well-executed sale
or purchase of a ranch, and in the finer points of after the
fact ranch operation. He helps educate and guide his clients
to an improved understanding of these benefits and their options.
He is comfortable discussing live water potentials (new lakes,
dams, waterfalls etc.) landscape design possibilities, buying
equipment, clearing land, building and maintaining fences and
roads, purchasing domestic and exotic game stock, choosing feed,
livestock shelters and the list continues.
Recently
his sons, Lance and Cody, received their real estate licenses
and joined the company with office in Boerne and San Antonio
respectively. Together, the Soeles’ personally own six,
