Hall and Hall is the largest full-service national brokerage rural real estate firm managing more than 1 million acres of land, and servicing a loan portfolio of more than $1 billion. The company was formed in 1946 as an agricultural mortgage company and has since expanded into farm and ranch brokerage, auctions, appraisals, resource management and enhancement, and consultation.

Unlike most real estate firms, Hall and Hall utilizes a team-based, fully integrated approach to the strategic marketing of investment-quality rural real estate. Its unique partnership structure — which brings together an experienced and knowledgeable team of farm, ranch, and land brokers — provides client focused attention and the international perspective needed to make informed acquisition and management decisions.

Managing Directors:

B Elfland

B Elfland grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In 1988, he graduated from the University of North Carolina with a degree in business administration and moved to Colorado where he spent nine years in the ranch and resort industries. His admiration for the wide-open spaces and the abundance of recreational opportunities in Montana inspired him to move to the Treasure State in 1997. After farming and ranching in Central Montana, B settled in the Bozeman area and guided fly fishermen on Southwest Montana’s renowned waters for seven years. He got his real estate license in 1999 and is currently a licensed broker in Montana and Wyoming. His lifelong recreational interests and professional background in ranching and the resort industries led to a real estate focus in ranch and recreational properties. B treasures the time spent with his family on their small ranch along the Madison River. He is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys backcountry adventures and hunting and fishing throughout Montana.
