THE TEST OF TIME
There are to-do lists, and there are want-to-do lists. Following Fay Ranches founder Greg Fay is on my have-to-do list. Greg’s passion for the great outdoors and his compulsion to help people find the perfect piece of property has transformed his brokerage into an industry leader — first, in Montana, then in the Northern Rockies, and now on a nationwide basis. A decade has passed since Greg wrote “How to Buy a Ranch.” I applauded it when it ran in the first issue of Land Investor in 2014. The updated version reads even better a decade later. Put it on your have-to-do list.
