Buying or selling a home is a big deal—and let’s be honest, it can feel overwhelming. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. As a local realtor right here in Billings, Montana, I’m here to walk you through every step and make the process as fun (yes, fun!) and smooth as possible.

And since we’re lucky enough to live in a place as beautiful as Eastern Montana, why not balance those home-buying or selling tasks with a little sunshine, hiking, and river time?

So here it is: 7 reasons to work with a realtor—and 7 ways to enjoy the outdoors while we work together. Think of it as your home + adventure combo pack.

1. You Get Local Expertise

Billings isn’t just where I work—it’s home. I know the neighborhoods, the market trends, the hidden gems, and the ones to watch. Whether you’re looking for a fixer-upper in the Heights or land out in Shepherd, I’ve got you.

Pair it with: A hike up Four Dances Natural Area. Big views, wide skies, and just minutes from downtown—it’s the perfect breather after house hunting.

2. Paperwork? I've Got Your back

Contracts, contingencies, disclosures—there’s a lot of fine print in real estate. I make sure nothing gets missed so you’re legally protected and never overwhelmed.

🎣 Pair it with: A morning of fly fishing on the Yellowstone River. Early summer is prime time, and nothing clears your head like casting a line into those Montana waters.

3. I Spot Red Flags

From foundation cracks to funky smells in the basement, I’ll help you notice what you might miss—and help you avoid future headaches.

🏜️ Pair it with: A day trip to Makoshika State Park near Glendive. Hike through Montana’s badlands, spot fossils, and soak in some epic scenery.

4. Negotiation Is My Superpower

It’s not just about the offer—it’s about crafting the right offer. Whether you’re asking for credits after an inspection or trying to beat multiple bids, I fight for your best interest.

🌻 Pair it with: A picnic and wildflower walk at Pictograph Cave State Park. Bonus: you'll get some history and ancient art while you’re at it.

5. Pricing That Makes Sense

If you’re selling, I help you price your home to attract buyers and get you top dollar. If you’re buying, I help make sure you’re not overpaying in a hot market.

⛰️ Pair it with: A sunset hike up Zimmerman Trail—easy access, jaw-dropping views, and the kind of peace that makes pricing strategies feel like a breeze.

6. I Handle the Scheduling Circus

Showings, inspections, appraisals, closings... I coordinate it all so you don’t have to. I even let repair people in when you're busy or out of town.

🛶 Pair it with: A lazy float down the Stillwater River in Columbus. Pack snacks, sunscreen, and leave the real estate calendar juggling to me.

7. You Get a Teammate (and a Friend)

Buying or selling a home is emotional, and having someone who gets it matters. I’m here for the hard conversations, the exciting ones, and everything in between.

🌲 Pair it with: A weekend camping trip in Red Lodge. Hit the Beartooth Mountains, roast marshmallows, and come back ready to tackle your next move.

Real estate doesn't have to be all stress and spreadsheets. When you have a local realtor who knows the market and how to make the process fun, you can enjoy the ride—even during peak season.

So if you're thinking about buying or selling this summer, let’s chat. We’ll talk strategy, set goals, and maybe even plan a hike while we’re at it.

Let’s make moves and memories.
