Getting to Know Evan Kaseberg

How do you read the market in Oregon and Idaho right now?
Qualified buyers are out there; they’ve been looking carefully and know what they want. Inventory remains relatively limited, and the challenge is finding those properties that match their expectations and goals.
Tell us about the country you cover.
Oregon and Idaho together are about as varied as any land market in the country. You can travel from irrigated wheat ground in the Columbia Basin to high desert cattle country to timbered mountains in the space of a few hours. Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America, is also here, along with rivers that hold salmon, steelhead, trout and bass.
The Blue Mountains, from Central Oregon over to Wallowa County is my favorite area. Especially along the Grande Ronde and John Day river systems. This area has everything that makes the Northwest a truly special place. Forest-covered mountains that drop into steep and deep canyon systems.
Agriculture is a part of your life. How does that show up in the work?
It changes what you notice when you walk a ranch. I tend to think more about the water, the stewardship of the land, fencing, or grazing opportunities and noting the recreational attributes in relation.
Cassie and I run our own commercial cow herd and a smaller group of registered Angus. So when a seller tells me about their operation, I understand innately what they’re describing. And when a buyer asks me whether a ranch will work for what they have in mind, I’m better equipped to provide a thorough and honest answer.
What drew you to Hall and Hall specifically?
It started with the listings. I do a lot of research and tracking of the market. Hall and Hall consistently delivers on exceptional properties. That got my attention before I knew much about the company itself and the people involved
Getting to know Trent Jones and, over time, some of the other partners deepened my understanding of the company and the partnership structure. These are first-class people with a strong work ethic and deep-seated values, and a genuine commitment to their clients and each other.
What do landowners in this region think about most when they are considering a sale?
For many landowners, and I think this holds true across the country, the decision involves much more than price. These properties often represent a lifetime of work, and in many cases, several generations of family history. What they want to know is whether the person across the table understands what they’ve built.
Confidentiality is a concern, as is an honest conversation about the market and pricing. There also needs to be minimal, if any, disruption to the operation during the sale process. And a lot of owners are thinking through lease schedules, staff concerns, family considerations, and tax implications. My job is to understand and recognize the property for all that it encompasses while providing a high level of service.
Growing up in production agriculture, I have firsthand insight into the families who own multigenerational farms and ranches. They hold a lifetime of memories of being on the land, just as their parents and grandparents did before them. It is not easy to let go of places to which you hold an incredibly strong emotional attachment. This doesn’t always lead to a listing. Sometimes, it truly is the best option to hold the property and not sell it. I truly want what is best for the landowners, their families, and the land itself.
Brooks is just over a month old. Lane is almost two. That’s a lot happening outside of real estate.
We are doing well and getting about as much sleep as you would expect. They’re a lot of fun and keep my wife, Cassie, and me very busy.
What are you most looking forward to in this first year?
Getting to know the people. Hall and Hall has partners and staff across the country who have been doing this work for a long time. I want to learn from that experience, understand how they operate and then figure out where I can help.
I’m looking forward to bringing everything that Hall and Hall has to offer to the Northwest. Not just the brokerage side, but also the Management and Lending capabilities. Strong local knowledge paired with national reach and a deep bench of expertise is a combination that’s hard to find.
If someone is thinking about buying or selling in your part of the world, what do they need to know going in?
They should know that when they work with Hall and Hall, they’re relying on an entire team of experienced and knowledgeable brokers who work together and prefer to share their expertise with each other. The more successful one of us is, the more we all benefit.
