Serving the area of Western States including the Rockies.

The Chickering Company specializes in locating, and assisting clients in acquiring, unique mountain and ranch properties throughout California and the Western United States. Whether it's a fly-fishing ranch in the Rockies, a pastoral West Marin setting, a horse ranch in Carmel Valley, or a High Sierra lake property, we find the best the West has to offer.   As a part of our interest in the legacy of preserving the land for future generations, we do not represent clients interested in development or subdivision.   This is a company dedicated to preserving our heritage and playing a role in leaving the natural landscape as we have found it.  Tomorrow's generation deserves natural landscapes to cope with modern life in urban environments.

Through ongoing research and networking with other brokers and owners throughout the West, we pursue the search for the best country and recreational ranch properties available. We do not engage in the business of residential, commercial or industrial real estate, reserving our expertise for ranches and large land holdings.  The Chickering Company has been uniquely successful in attracting discriminating clientele by providing knowledge about where to go, how to find good value, and how to avoid wasted trips to ranches with "fancy" advertising but little to recommend them when on the site. Our purpose is to avoid wasted trips and to transact on only the best there is on the market.

We also engage in numerous private transactions involving Sellers wishing to convey title outside the public market place to an exclusive clientele. (Many interested Sellers of high-end recreational retreats prefer to have a transaction completed under the radar and not in the public eye.)  In these situations we are often able to bring in one of our mezzanine clients to purchase the property privately. We will then assist the Seller and Buyer coordinating the many due diligence investigations, and oversee their interests during escrow.

By specializing in ranches throughout California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado and British Columbia, we maintain constant contact with the major ranch brokers in the West, trading information as it becomes available to offer the best chance to find that unique property, otherwise buried in the public market place.
