About Me

Selected Ranch Transactions

Background and Experience

A lifelong Lubbock resident, Charlie attended Lubbock public schools and West Texas A&M University at Canyon, TX.

Charlie Middleton brings a family background in ranch real estate and experience across working cattle ranches, recreational properties, and longstanding family ownership.

Charlie Middleton grew up in Lubbock, watching his father and grandfather help families buy and sell ranches across Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. Horseback riding, calf roping, and team roping were part of his early life, and joining the family business was a natural next step.

Charlie joined Chas. S. Middleton and Son in March 2000, developing property maps, brochures, and the firm’s early website. He obtained his Texas real estate license in 2005 and later earned broker licenses in Texas and New Mexico.

His background combines property marketing with brokerage experience across working cattle ranches, recreational properties, and land held by families for generations. His work has taken him throughout Texas and New Mexico, both independently and alongside his father and fellow agents.

For Charlie, each property has a story. Selling a family ranch or finding the right place to begin a new chapter calls for careful preparation, clear communication, and an appreciation for what the land means to its owners.
