Info: Nancy grew up on a farm in upstate New York and moved to Arizona in 1981. Since that time she has been involved with land development in the southeast portion of the state where she worked as a project manager, land development manager and consultant for several major homebuilders/land developers. During that time Nancy also felt the call to go back to her agricultural roots and started BN Angus with a small herd of registered Black Angus cattle. Prior to starting this endeavor, realizing that raising livestock in Arizona was not going to be like raising livestock in New York, she completed a variety of classes in Cattle and Range Management at the University of Arizona. After leaving life in the fast lane of land development, Nancy began working with an Arizona ranch broker selling cattle ranches, farms and land where she was able to use all her past experience and added to it the experience of all the wonderful cattlemen, horsemen and just plain good folks she met during her time there. After having a successful track record with them, Nancy started the Stockmen’s Realty Brokerage.
