Nebraska: The Next Frontier

Welcome to Nebraska, the new frontier for land and ranches. Due to the novel coronavirus and the associated shift from urban to rural areas, many people are seriously interested in purchasing their own ranch or farm.

Adventures in Alaska

Adventures in Alaska

I had the wonderful opportunity to roam around some beautiful country with my beautiful girlfriend in southeast Alaska near the end of August. This was a great time to visit the last frontier state. The mosquitoes were minimal, and the weather was just beginning to feel like fall.

Texas Bass Fishing with Hall and Hall Loan Officer Adam Deakin

Texas Bass Fishing with Hall and Hall Loan Officer Adam Deakin

Through competing in National High School and Collegiate Bass Fishing Tournaments, I have been able to see some beautiful parts of the world. One place I keep finding myself returning to is deep in the heart of East Texas. East Texas is full of dense pineywood forests, easy rolling pastures, and what seems like never-ending bodies of water. It is vibrantly green, especially in the springtime. The scenery is hard to beat, and the bass fishing is even better.

Ranch Buyers

Working for Texas Farm and Ranch Buyers

Twenty years ago I embarked on a wild, fulfilling, and often perplexing adventure - selling Texas ranches. This gave me the opportunity to work with some great people. It is always a greater adventure to work with buyers because you never know where the journey will take you. AND it often does not end with the acquisition often evolving into a deep and satisfying long term relationship.  This is a marked contrast to the clear goal one establishes with a seller client who is often exiting our world with the sale of his or her property.
