Getting to Know Kevin Reinemund
Sep 30, 2026 | Hall and Hall
Someone is thinking about buying or selling in the area. What’s your advice?
They aren’t making any more land, so choose wisely. Owning land at this level is a coveted endeavor that comprises many joys but also complexities that aren’t found in typical real estate transactions.
Tell us a little bit about Virginia and the East Coast. What is it that draws people to its land and culture?
Virginia is the home base for Hall and Hall on the East Coast, and Charlottesville is where I met Alex, and we both work and live with our families. Our location is strategic. It puts us close enough to the historic properties and working farms and equestrian land of central Virginia, while also giving us manageable proximity to adjacent states up and down the coast.
I really am drawn to the larger farms and estates from Charlottesville and northern counties that stretch closer to Washington, D.C. This region is unique as it combines deep amounts of national history, and the landscapes are gorgeous. The gently rolling pastures that lead to colorful hardwood edges and Blue Ridge Mountain views as the backdrop are incredible.
What do you specialize in, and what does that mean for someone working with you?
I specialize in higher acreage and greater value properties and am an asset to buyers and sellers looking to make sound investments in land. I strive to help others find a way to accomplish their specific goals. Everyone sees land differently, and understanding and supporting clients with their specific, sometimes challenging endeavors is important. Whether it is acquiring a property to build fine houses, establish a family legacy property, recreation, timber, agriculture, or other income-producing opportunities like development potential, we are here to assist you.
You attended the Naval Academy and served in the Marine Corps. How does that serve you and those you work with in real estate and relationships?
I’ve always been passionate about land and the outdoors. There is something special about land and acreage, and I believe many people feel and covet an identity with that. The Marine Corps taught me a lot about discipline, finding solutions, and taking care of the people around you. Those things correlate and matter greatly in this line of work as well.
The greatest lesson that I learned in the Marine Corps is that there is always a way to win. There is never a simple path to success, but there is always a path that can be made with the right planning and attention to detail. This helps me in the land world because of the uniqueness of each property and every client’s specific desires for buying and selling. There are often complex situations that arise when dealing with higher-end real estate. Being able to develop and recommend a solution while keeping everyone calm and morale high is important to me.
What do landowners think about most when they are considering a sale?
They want a broker who truly understands land. Many times, these properties have been held by the family for years, if not multiple generations, so there is an emotional aspect to it. Being able to navigate the emotional connection to land is important.
The most common instance of this is when, at some point within the lineage, there is a break in the desire to continue to manage the acreage and a stronger desire to sell. It becomes a relatively intangible situation, as the dollar amount and profit usually pale in comparison to the generational memories and imprint that the property has on individuals and families. Sometimes it isn’t just selling a property for people, it’s moving on from a place that encompasses chapters of their lives.
Beyond that, landowners want and deserve a broad reach with marketing, both nationally and internationally, and timely communications. It should also go without saying that the marketing, whether the media or write-ups, should be of the highest caliber in the industry.
How do you read the market in your region right now?
The desire for high-value legacy tracts is strong. There are a lot of folks looking to buy hundreds or thousands of acres, with a historic home or improvements, a place to enjoy with their families.
There is also an impending generational transition with larger properties that have been held for decades. The next generation has the decision to sell or maintain. The beauty of Hall and Hall is that we are well-positioned to provide solution-oriented answers. We can support land management goals, assist with the lending process through our own financial team, support discussions about whether to list, and work through difficult, high-level transactions.
What drew you to Hall and Hall specifically?
Hall and Hall is the pinnacle of land brokerages. The quality of land that moves through the organization is impressive, but the team of people encompassing Hall and Hall is even more so and is sincerely unrivaled. I’m honored to be a part of it.
I knew that Hall and Hall was the right fit many times, but I would say a key moment came when I realized that everyone in the organization actually cared about each other. Other partners were calling and reaching out with excitement; the managing directors were supportive of me and my transition, as well as caring for my family. Other firms view their agents as solely transactional assets. In this partnership structure, we are all motivated to succeed and produce results, but we do it while genuinely caring and working with each other to better the firm as a whole. It’s a very rare culture and team organization that is hard to emulate.
What are you most looking forward to in your first year?
Being an asset to the team and producing results. Starting off strong is important to me, as is enhancing the momentum that Hall and Hall has built on the East Coast. I also look forward to learning from and working with the other partners who have been doing this at the highest level for a long time.
Away from work, what fills your time?
My family. I have a wife and two sons who keep life outside of work busy and special. If I’m not wrangling my sons, I’m in the woods chasing deer or elk, or skiing in the winter.
I love to elk hunt and ski in the mountains of Colorado, where the rest of my family lives, especially around the Steamboat Springs area. Here in Virginia, white-tailed deer and the eastern wild turkey are my focus, but it is really the land and habitat management that I enjoy the most.
