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.

Hall and Hall Ranch Listings Featured on CNN

Last year was the company's second best year in its 73-year history. Several high-profile ranches owned by big names in business have also recently come on to the market, meaning 2019 could shape up to be another big year. "Breathing room never goes out of style," says McDavid.

Beef Industry

Opportunities Due to Genetic Trends in Beef Industry 

Spending time in the sale barns with ranchers and cattleman, there is continual debate about the ideal cow.  The common answer is:  She weighs about 1,200 pounds, weans a big calf, does not take a lot of feed for maintenance, and breeds back each year.  Though this is a simple answer, does not mean it is an easy one.  The direction the beef industry is heading may make finding the ideal cow even more challenging.

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.
