Tyler Wright
Owner/Broker
Office: 325.396.4477 | Mobile: 325.456.1301 | tyler@findaranch.com
Tyler was born in San Angelo, Texas in May 1977 and graduated from Menard High School in 1995. In August of ’95 he moved to San Angelo as an Angelo State University student. After several semesters there he was still uncertain of his major so he took a few finance courses just to try them out. Unbeknownst to him, many finance courses revolve around Real Estate. Tyler was immediately drawn to this field; his family has been in the Real Estate business since early 1960. “Jody” Wright, Tyler’s paternal grandmother, started Menard Real Estate in 1960. The company has been family owned and operated ever since. Tyler’s parents are also both licensed Real Estate agents.
In May of 2000, Tyler graduated from ASU with a Bachelors in Finance with a Real Estate Option along with a minor in Marketing. After graduating, he moved back to Menard to help his family and begin his career. Tyler takes pride in the fact that he gets to carry on the family tradition and truly enjoys his job, especially the awesome people he’s able to meet. Tyler is also proud to say that some of his good friends were once potential clients.

Sydney Halfmann
Agent
Mobile: 432-270-2538 | sydney@findaranch.com
Sydney brings a West Texas flair to our team. She was born and raised into a third generation farming family in the small town of Garden City, Texas. Growing up on a multi-generational cotton farm and recently investing in her own personal livestock program, it seemed natural for her to gravitate to the farm and ranch side of real estate.
Sydney started out her journey in the Permian Basin oilfield in Midland, Texas. She worked as a Division Order Analyst for 5 years where she specialized in calculating mineral interest for landowners, she then began working as a Landman researching courthouse records to determine ownership of mineral interest. After a career in oil and gas she made her transition into the Real Estate industry working as a Title Examiner in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Sydney is excited about her future joining the Find A Ranch team and is ready to help serve the Texas Hill Country with all their real estate needs. Her love for livestock, small-town West Texas roots, and appreciation for agriculture is sure to make any transaction an enjoyable experience!
