About Michael

Michael L. Schultz is a highly experienced Texas Farm & Ranch Broker who has built a reputation for successfully representing buyers and sellers of premier ranch properties across the Texas Hill Country and South Texas. Licensed in real estate since 2011 and holding his Broker’s License since 2020, Michael combines deep market knowledge with a lifelong passion for land, wildlife, and the ranching lifestyle. His experience spans everything from recreational hunting properties and working cattle ranches to large legacy estates and investment-grade ranches, with transactions reaching up to $29,000,000.

Michael specializes in helping clients buy and sell ranches in Texas, guiding landowners, investors, and families through every step of the ranch sales process. Whether representing a large South Texas hunting ranch, a Hill Country live-water property, or a working cattle ranch, he understands the unique characteristics that define exceptional land—wildlife habitat, water resources, grazing potential, mineral considerations, and long-term investment value.

Born in Florida, Michael has lived in several parts of the country including Virginia and New York City, but he always felt drawn to the wide-open spaces and lifestyle of the American West. In 1999, he made his way to Texas as quickly as he could, where he found the land, people, and culture that felt like home. Today, Texas remains the center of his professional and personal life.

Raised around construction sites and ranch properties, Michael developed an early appreciation for land stewardship and property development. That early exposure sparked a lifelong fascination with real estate and ultimately led him to pursue a career helping others find and steward extraordinary land. Today, he is known for his ability to connect buyers with the right ranch while helping sellers strategically position their property to achieve maximum value in the market.

In addition to ranch brokerage, Michael represents luxury residential, waterfront, and ranch properties across Texas and Colorado, serving clients seeking everything from private ranch retreats to lakefront homes and investment properties. His diverse experience allows him to understand the lifestyle aspects that attract buyers to premier properties and the strategies required to successfully market them.

Michael’s approach to real estate goes far beyond a typical transaction. He works closely with clients to understand their vision—whether they are searching for a Texas hunting ranch, cattle ranch, live-water ranch, investment ranch, luxury home, weekend getaway, or legacy family property. His deep understanding of the land, combined with innovative marketing strategies and a strong network of qualified buyers, allows him to consistently deliver exceptional results.

What truly sets Michael apart is his belief that real estate is about far more than property—it’s about lifestyle. The clients he works with aren’t simply buying land or homes; they are investing in experiences, traditions, and the lifestyle that comes with owning those properties. Whether it’s a ranch where families gather for hunting season, a waterfront home where children learn to wake surf, or a quiet Hill Country retreat for weekends away from the city, Michael understands that real estate represents the life his clients want to live.

Michael doesn’t just sell ranches, waterfront homes, and lifestyle properties—he lives that lifestyle every day alongside his clients. From early mornings on the ranch running cattle to afternoons on the water with his family, he experiences firsthand what makes these properties so meaningful. His clients trust him because he doesn’t just understand the lifestyle—they know he lives it.

Outside of real estate, Michael is a devoted family man, rancher, and entrepreneur. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, fishing, shed hunting, and running cattle, often sharing those experiences with his four children—three daughters and a son. Much of his free time is spent on the water wake surfing on Lake LBJ and Possum Kingdom, fishing along the Texas Coast, or exploring ranch land across the state with friends and family.

Michael also owns investment properties in Texas and Florida, and his family loves spending time at their Florida beach house along scenic Highway 30A, where they enjoy the same coastal lifestyle many of his clients seek. If his kids had their way, they would spend half the year there enjoying the water, sunshine, and relaxed beach community.

Michael believes ranch ownership and lifestyle properties are about heritage, stewardship, family memories, and building generational wealth. His mission is to help clients discover properties that reflect their lifestyle and long-term vision while protecting and preserving the land for future generations.

If you are considering buying or selling a ranch in Texas, a luxury home, or a recreational property, Michael L. Schultz offers the experience, network, and passion needed to guide you through the process with confidence.

Client Reviews

We’ve worked with Michael Schultz across a wide range of transactions over the years—from helping us find smaller entry-level properties for our kids all the way up to sourcing and acquiring multi-million dollar ranches and investment properties for our cattle and hunting operations across Texas, Colorado, and Florida. No matter the price point or complexity, he brings the same level of focus, professionalism, and execution every single time.

What truly sets Michael apart is his deep understanding of ranch real estate. He doesn’t just show land, he understands it. From evaluating water, grazing potential, and wildlife habitat to access, improvements, long-term investment value, and overall usability, he looks at every property through the lens of both a rancher and an investor. That insight has helped us make smarter decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

On the acquisition side, he’s a strong negotiator who knows how to structure deals and find opportunities even when there seems to be nothing exciting on the market. On the selling side, his marketing is on another level; high-end media, targeted exposure, and a strategy that consistently brings the right buyers to the table. His network across multiple states has also been a huge advantage for us and made it a breeze.

Beyond the business, Michael is just a great person to work with! He is extremely honest, responsive, and someone who truly cares about his clients and their long-term goals. His team operates at a high level and makes the entire process smooth from start to finish. He isn’t just our “everything real estate broker” he has become part of our family!

If you’re looking for a top-tier ranch broker who can handle everything from small properties to large legacy ranches and investment assets, Michael Schultz is THE ONE you want in your corner. 5 stars all the way.

— Ronnie U

Michael Schultz is an excellent property broker and agent! I represent a client that buys and sells large, high end properties and Michael consistently helps him find, negotiate and close on “home run” properties, whether they be for investment, development or keepers. Michael is honest, persistent and attentive to client wants and needs, he researches well and outworks the competition!

— Richard Mylnek

When I first contacted Michael Schultz to help me find a ranch, I was completely lost on where to even begin. I didn’t know what part of Texas I wanted to be in, what type of land, how many acres made sense, or even what my budget should realistically be. The only things I knew for sure were that I wanted room for my dogs to run, space for a shop, and a property that I could truly enjoy and grow into.

Michael immediately got to work. We started looking at ranch after ranch, and for someone who had no clear direction, I was extremely picky. Whether it was terrain, water features, access, improvements, or layout, I kept changing what I thought I wanted and Michael never missed a beat. He stayed patient, guided me through every option, and helped me understand what truly mattered when buying land.

At one point, we even explored building a custom setup on a larger acreage tract that I absolutely fell in love with. But with my timeline being tight, Michael helped me pivot strategically. Instead of rushing into something that wasn’t right, he suggested securing a property that checked my immediate boxes while also positioning me for a long-term ranch that could be developed exactly how I wanted. That approach gave me flexibility and confidence, and we ended up closing on a property that worked perfectly for my current needs while keeping the bigger vision alive.

But what really sets Michael apart is what happened after closing. Most brokers would consider their job done, but not Michael. He stuck with me every step of the way, helping me refine my vision for the ranch, connecting me with the right people, and walking me through how to turn ideas into a real plan. From land use strategy to improvements, layout concepts, and long-term potential, he was there for all of it.

If you’re looking for someone who doesn’t just help you buy land but truly helps you build a vision, a lifestyle, and a long-term asset—then your search is over. Michael Schultz is the one you want in your corner.

Michael and his TEAM are over the top and always go the extra mile with their services!
I highly recommend him for all of your ranch buying and selling needs.

— Taw Wayne Dunham

We hired Michael Schultz to help us sell our smaller acreage property and find the right ranch, and we couldn’t have made a better decision. We were extremely selective going into the process, interviewing multiple brokers and brokerages, and Michael exceeded every expectation we had.

From day one, he delivered on everything he said he would. He helped us properly prepare and present our property with high-end staging guidance, incredible photography, drone footage, and a marketing strategy that truly set it apart. One of the biggest differences we noticed was that Michael was personally present for every showing, making sure each potential buyer fully understood the unique features and value of the property; something that’s often overlooked. Because of that level of attention and execution, we were able to get under contract much faster than expected and within our target price range.

On the buying side, Michael was just as impressive. Finding the right ranch is a completely different process than buying a home on a few acres, and his knowledge of land, layout, usability, and long-term potential made all the difference. He guided us through every step, helped us evaluate properties the right way, and ultimately negotiated an incredible deal on a ranch that has been such a blessing for our family. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to market, negotiate, and truly understands ranch properties at a high level, Michael Schultz is the one ranch broker you truly need to call. He made the entire process smooth, strategic, and as stress-free as possible. Highly recommended!

The freaking king of Big time ranch sales and top premier properties in Texas! You and your team are awesome Michael and we are so thankful for your experience and dedication to bringing us the best experience possible in selling our families property. Thank you!

— Josh Boggs

Michael went above and beyond to assist our family with the sale of my aging parents ranch in Boerne. Our property had been on the market for some time with another brokerage, and he stepped in, stayed patient with my parents who had been through the ringer previously and had a very strategic plan to get them through the process; constantly providing updated comps, market insights, and honest guidance that helped us adjust pricing and come in with a complete marketing plan to get it sold!

Where Michael truly separated himself was during the closing process. Ranch transactions can come with a lot of moving parts, and he stepped in to help coordinate everything from lining up contractors for required repairs to making sure nothing fell through the cracks. He was always available, responsive, and solution-oriented, which made a stressful process feel much more manageable. On the buying side, his expertise in ranch properties was invaluable. He helped us evaluate land, improvements, and long-term potential so we could make a confident decision on the right property for our family. We highly recommend Michael for anyone looking to buy or sell a ranch. His knowledge, work ethic, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart.

— Jonathan Smith

Wow, what a great experience it was working with Mike . He is so effective in what he does and he came more than well prepared to the initial meeting and took his time to understand our unique property, needs, and expectations. Mike has sold multiple ranches in our county before and presented us with a very realistic pricing strategy. Not too low, but also not too high preventing us from meeting our perfect scenario of a timeline. Photos, video, listing details were all top notch. We can honestly say Mike's approach to be present at everyone of our showings made all the difference. By doing so they were able to point out all the special features of our property. He was also very quick to respond to any questions we have had during the process. As we got into the price negotiations Mike was able to deliver as again and achieved the price we really needed. In summary: Glad we had Mike as our broker and we can highly recommend him.

— Bernd Vogt

— Susan Pittman

To say that I am completely satisfied with Michael and his team would be an UNDERSTATEMENT! They met all of our real estate requirements in a professional, efficient, and caring manner. I have never had a real estate transaction that has gone so smooth. Michael and his team were more than willing to rise to any occasion to ensure that we had nothing to worry about. My wife and I have personally referred their team to every single individual who was looking to buy or sell. While reading this review, if you were looking for someone for any of your real estate needs, I am more than confident that the MLS Luxury Group is who you are looking for.

— Austin Pradon

We have both bought and sold ranch property using Michael Schultz as our agent, and the experience on both sides was exceptional. When we were purchasing, he was able to negotiate a deal below asking price and helped us save money on closing costs—something that made a real difference.

A few years later, when we retired and decided to move on from South Texas, Michael stepped in again and handled the sale of our ranch. Despite market competition and other properties coming available, he was able to position and market ours to achieve one of the strongest sales prices in the area. His understanding of land, value, and buyer demand truly set him apart.

Beyond the transactions, we’ve built a lasting relationship and genuinely consider him a friend. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy or sell a ranch or land in the Texas Hill Country and South Texas areas.
