Real Estate Brokerage Services

Collin County, Texas is seeking real estate brokerage services through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2025-270 for the strategic marketing and sale of the Collin County Adventure Camp, a 427.009-acre property located at 1180 West Houston St. in Anna, TX. The county requires a qualified and licensed real estate brokerage firm with at least five years of experience in commercial and residential real estate transactions to develop a comprehensive marketing strategy, conduct property showings, and negotiate with prospective buyers. The property includes multiple lakes, an administration building, dining hall, education building, student and teacher cabins, an amphitheater, swimming pool, and hiking trails, and will be sold "as-is" without deed restrictions. Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point system, with points allocated as follows: qualifications/experience (30 points), marketing plan (30 points), commission percentage/fee (30 points), and references (10 points). The RFP was released on August 5, 2025, with proposals due on August 28, 2025, at 2:00 pm, and an anticipated award date of October 6, 2025. Sealed proposals must be submitted to the Purchasing Agent at 2300 Bloomdale Road, Suite 3160, McKinney, TX 75071.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. An independent appraisal conducted by Lowery Property Advisors, LLC on May 21, 2025, valued the property at $11,750,000 without deed restrictions and $7,260,000 with restrictions limiting use to an outdoor education camp for Collin County school-aged children. The property is currently subject to a management agreement with the Young Men's Christian Association of Metropolitan Dallas, which operates the youth camp at its own expense. The county prefers a flat fee structure for brokerage services and requires the selected broker to have a valid Texas real estate broker's license. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the property's highest and best use is determined to be rural residential, agricultural, or recreational. The solicitation is funded through the Collin County budget for the current fiscal year, with the primary objective of maximizing the property's value through an efficient and compliant sales process.
