About Tina
Ranch owner. Land specialist. Your agent for North Texas.
Who Is Tina Brenkus?
I'm a licensed real estate agent with United Country Texas Real Estate Associates, based in the Marble Falls area, and I own an 89-acre working ranch in Bridgeport, Texas. I sell land — acreage, ranches, barndominium sites, waterfront, and investment tracts — across two Texas regions: North Texas / DFW and the Texas Hill Country.
In North Texas that means Wise, Denton, Montague, Jack, Parker, Palo Pinto, Hood, Clay, Young, and Cooke counties. In the Hill Country it means Burnet, Llano, Mason, Gillespie, and Hays — the Highland Lakes, wine country, ranch country, and the land around Austin. Two very different markets, and I work both from the ground rather than from a map.
I'm not a suburban agent who dabbles in land. I live this life. I run cattle. I manage an agricultural exemption. I've navigated well drilling, septic permitting, fencing, county regulations, and every other reality of owning rural property in Texas. When I help a client evaluate a property, I'm drawing on personal experience — not just MLS data.
Before real estate, I spent 27 years as a senior copywriter and content strategist for companies including E! Networks, NBC Universal, Yahoo, Best Buy, and Dallas Market Center. That background means I bring sharp marketing and negotiation skills to every listing and transaction. I was also a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in 1991 — proof that I’ve never been afraid to put myself out there.
I created The Ranch Desk as a platform for land education — helping buyers understand what to look for, how to finance land, how to navigate due diligence, and how to build on rural property in North Texas.
