Houston Office Space of the Month: Ranchland Network Finds Its Home at Boxer Workstyle
When Boxer completed renovations at 1322 Space Park, the newly upgraded Boxer Workstyle executive suites quickly began attracting tenants looking for professional, flexible office space in Houston. As demand for executive suites Houston businesses can grow into continues to rise, we were eager to learn more about the companies choosing to call the property home.
One of those businesses is Ranchland Network, a United Country Real Estate company led by broker Trey Bonner. Beyond sharing a passion for real estate, Trey understands the importance of having a professional Houston office space that supports growth, credibility, and client relationships.
Ranchland Network specializes in ranch real estate Texas, connecting buyers and sellers of ranches, farms, and recreational properties throughout the state. From their office at Boxer Workstyle, the company has built a growing network of agents and clients while taking advantage of flexible office solutions designed for modern businesses.
As a real estate professional, Trey immediately recognized the value of Boxer Workstyle’s executive suites. The private offices, conference rooms, and business amenities provide a professional setting for client meetings and team collaboration. For a company that operates across multiple markets, this type of shared office space Houston professionals increasingly seek offers the flexibility and convenience needed to stay connected throughout Texas.
This tenant spotlight explores how Ranchland Network leverages executive suites and virtual office Houston solutions to serve clients statewide, why professional office amenities matter in the real estate industry, and how the company plans to continue growing in the years ahead.
Why Ranchland Chose Flexible Office Space in Houston
What office amenities were most important when choosing your Houston office space?
“We leased this space at the end of June 2014, which was the first time it was available. I had been looking for a new office because I was previously located on the south side of Clear Lake. With my new franchise affiliation through United Country Real Estate, I purchased the rights for Harris County and needed to relocate.
I stopped by the building one day and Marie showed me around. The office amenities were fantastic, and I immediately saw the potential of the space.
At the time there were six new suites available in the front of the building, and none of them had been leased. I asked if they could hold one for me while I attended my mandatory franchise training in Missouri. They agreed.
I took photos of the office and presented them to my franchise for approval. When I returned, every single suite had been leased. I knew I had to sign quickly or I’d regret losing the opportunity.”
Trey says one of his favorite features is the office layout itself.
“Most of the time I prop my door open so I can hear a little background noise. It’s great having a glass door to the front of the suite.”
What is United Country Real Estate?
“United Country is a rural brokerage company that has been around since 1922. They have more than 400 offices throughout the United States and are expanding internationally into countries like Australia, Costa Rica, and China.
They do a phenomenal job marketing ranches online. Their Google rankings are excellent for almost any search related to buying ranches in Texas. They’re an incredible support system for small brokerages and help ranch brokers Texas connect with buyers across the state.
They have dedicated teams that support our marketing, Google Analytics, and technology needs. United Country operates more than 3,500 websites.”
According to Trey, the company’s leadership recognized early that buyers were moving online.
“Eight out of ten ranch buyers search online before ever contacting a broker. If we can reach them first online, we have a much better chance of earning their business.”
What‘s the story behind Ranchland Network?
“Ranchland is a ranch brokerage company based in Houston, specializing in ranch real estate Texas. We have boots-on-the-ground agents spread throughout the state, but we like being headquartered in Houston because so many of our clients are here.
I make connections, develop relationships, and then connect buyers and sellers with our agents in the field.”
The company also operates under RLN Properties and offers commercial brokerage services.
“The majority of our ranch buyers are business owners. Often those same clients need help selling commercial property, purchasing investment assets, or leasing office space.”
How a Professional Houston Office Space Supports Ranchland’s Growth
How does your team work across Texas?
“We currently have six agents across Texas, including Dallas, Austin, South Texas, and Mason. Most of our communication happens remotely because our agents are mobile.”
This flexibility is why Trey sees tremendous value in Boxer Workstyle’s virtual office program.
“If one of my agents needs to meet someone in San Antonio or Austin, they can use a Boxer Workstyle location instead of meeting in a coffee shop or restaurant.
Having access to a virtual office Houston solution and professional meeting spaces throughout Texas gives us credibility and allows us to provide a much better client experience.”
Why is having a professional storefront important?
“Clients don’t come into the office often, but when they do, they’re very impressed that we have a real storefront with signage and a professional office.
Having that storefront is extremely important because it shows clients we’re established and invested in our business.”
How is your company evolving?
“We’re looking to expand into areas like The Woodlands and McKenzie. It would be great to have locations there where our agents could meet clients professionally without the expense of maintaining full-time offices.”
Trey also sees significant opportunity in the auction industry.
“I recently completed auction school because in many parts of the country, ranch land is sold through auctions.
In Texas, people sometimes associate auctions with foreclosures, but that’s changing. Auctions create competition and can generate tremendous value for sellers.”
The company is currently pursuing licensing opportunities to offer ranch auctions Texas landowners can use to market farms, ranches, and recreational properties.
“It takes about 90 days to market an auction, but once it’s complete, sellers receive immediate results.”
What inspires you?
“As a kid, I worked at a gas station, and that’s where I learned that customer service is everything.
Communicating with people and taking care of customers is the most important thing you can do in business.”
That philosophy has helped Trey build a successful brokerage, a growing statewide network of agents, and lasting relationships with clients throughout Texas.
For Ranchland Network, having a professional Houston office space isn’t simply about having an address—it’s about creating a place that supports growth, builds credibility, and helps the company deliver exceptional service to every client they serve.
