Hall and Hall, the largest full-service land brokerage in the country, is excited to name Monte Lyons as its new Managing Director. Lyons, based in Lubbock, Texas is responsible for real estate brokerage in Texas, agricultural lending in Hall and Hall’s southern territory, and is active in Hall and Hall auctions in Texas and surrounding states.  Raised on a combination farm and ranch, Lyons has a broad knowledge of agricultural operations, agribusinesses, recreational property and investment-grade rural real estate with a keen understanding of capital markets.  Lyons takes the reins from Bozeman, MT based Hall and Hall Partner Joel Leadbetter. For more information on Lyons, call 806-438-0582 or visit http://hallhall.com/our-people/42#sthash.N22QJQOW.dpuf.

“I cannot think of a better person than Monte Lyons to be Hall and Hall’s next Managing Director,” said Leadbetter. “His broad knowledge of real estate and long history in the business spans from traditional brokerage and auctions to lending and land management.  Monte’s deep Texas roots will greatly help us expand our reach down there, as well.” 

Prior to joining Hall and Hall, Lyons was a part of the Agribusiness Finance Group of MetLife and served as President and CEO of MONY Agricultural Investment Advisers, Inc. He holds a BS degree in Agricultural Economics with an emphasis in finance from Texas Tech University and attended graduate school at Texas A&M University.

“I hope to provide close to the same vision and guidance for sustained growth of all of our business lines that Joel has provided the last several years and Jim Taylor and Doug Hall before him,” said Lyons. “I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to be part of the leadership of a company with such an outstanding 70 year history.”
