James H. Taylor
Raised on a remote cattle ranch in south central Montana, Jim began his education in a one-room schoolhouse. He went on to St. Paul’s School subsequently earning his BA from Yale University. Jim joined Hall and Hall in 1972 as one of two partners. He and a growing number of pioneering co-owners and partners have built Hall and Hall into one of the largest rural real estate firms in the world. Jim is a retired polo player, an avid skier, a fly fisherman and has served on the Advisory Council of Yellowstone Forever and the Montana Nature Conservancy. He is actively involved with his wife, Anne Kent Taylor, in the operation of both a safari company and a foundation focusing on wildlife conservation in Kenya. Retiring as a managing director of Hall and Hall in 2012, he remains a full time real estate partner and a principal and director of Hall and Hall Incorporated.
Their way of doing business should be the rule, not the exception.
This letter is written in part to thank Hall & Hall and its associates for their dedication towards serving clients and prospective clients and to purvey to prospective buyers and sellers of properties in the Rocky Mountains West that Hall & Hall’s commitment towards building knowledge of the market, inventory, and maintaining relationships with those who have the opportunity to operate in this unique space is unparalleled in my estimation.
From the first time I walked through the door, I sensed their highest goals were to understand who I was and build a relationship, to understand the property I was looking to sell, what made it special and unique, and to find the buyer. Their discipline and focus was apparent, and throughout the entire process, I was continually intrigued by how different their approach towards realty was from the experiences I have had previously. Genuine would be the word I would use to describe everyone with whom I communicated within Hall & Hall.
I am very satisfied with the opportunities and experiences I was afforded through this process and I am grateful for their candor and nonchalance along the way, which helped bring the sale to a close in a timely and low-stress manner.
If you find yourself looking for representation in this market, you have a unique opportunity to experience Hall & Hall. Their way of doing business should be the rule, not the exception. Thank you all again for your guidance and expertise.
