Attention MSU Students and Parents! 

MSU Students Moving to Bozeman Renting vs. Buying

Looking for a home with cheap monthly payments in a great location close to campus? There is a great alternative. Buying a house is a big investment, but it may be your wisest decision when it comes to paying living expenses for years to come.

Franklin Hills Subdivision In Bozeman

The Franklin Hills Subdivision has been an adornment of the Bozeman, MT area for several decades. Its location is ideal, with views looking along the spine of the Bridger Range from the southern end, as well as Mt. Ellis looming to the south.

Affordable Housing in Bozeman MT

What is affordable housing in Bozeman? It's relative according to the buyer. Also, you won't be able to buy the same home in Jackson Hole for $200,000 (or any home for that matter), that you could buy in, say, St. Louis. In the Bozeman, MT area, housing is not dirt cheap, $250,000 and less is considered affordable. But it's well worth it to reside in one of the coolest, most beautiful places that you could call home. 

Depending on your income, there may be compromises when purchasing your own home. One of the key things to keep in mind is not to buy more homes than you can afford. When a night on the town becomes unaffordable because your mortgage is gargantuan, then it's likely you are on the road to headaches and…

Choosing the Right Neighborhood for You

When you talk with your Realtor about homes that interest you, the neighborhood should be an important factor. If not the most important.

Neighborhood Schools

Schools are very important when it comes to real estate prices. A good school system can drive up property values and insulate them against fluctuations in the market.

Subdivision Crime and Safety 

Who doesn't want to live in the safest community possible? But not all of us can afford to live in a…

5 Star Listing Agent in Bozeman

The Way I Sell It.

Let's face it, Real Estate is not cheap. In most cases, it's the largest and most committing purchase a person will spend their hard-earned money on. This is why customer service is so important regardless of where your property is situated in the market. My areas of expertise are new construction, residential, and luxury real estate. But knowledge is power so they say, and I task myself with staying current on the ever-changing market and laws that affect real estate transactions. I won't be so bold as to claim that I'm not in real estate to make money, because I am. It's my livelihood, but it's not the most important thing, the quality of care and attention I give my clients is. I want to earn my…
