REALTOR®, Broker/Owner
RRE-BRO-LIC-38521 · REAL Broker
I have been selling real estate since 2006. The first nine years were in Texas, where I founded Referred Realty Group in 2013. I moved to Bozeman in 2015 and started it again here, and sold the Texas side in 2018. These days I work mostly with empty nesters and retirees moving out of a house that no longer fits, long-time owners sitting on a lot of equity, and buyers relocating to Bozeman from somewhere else. I live in Bridger Creek, I own a home on the Swan Lake side of the Flathead, and I work Bozeman, Big Sky and Bigfork.
Over 700 homes in twenty years. GRI, Certified Negotiation Expert, and Guild Elite with the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. I brought REAL Broker to Montana in 2021 and served four years as the state's designated broker, overseeing several hundred more sales, and I sit on the Board of Directors of the Montana Association of REALTORS®. You may also know me as the local host of the TV show The American Dream. Prospera Business Network named me its Business Woman of the Year in 2019. Before any of it, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Marquette University.
Every home I list runs on the Simple Selling Method™, seven steps from the first conversation to the closing table. Every buyer starts with the Strategic Buying Method™, which begins with a Vision Session rather than a search. Both exist for the same reason. What I care about most is that you never wonder what is happening with your home, which is why every listing I take gets weekly updates and showing feedback inside 24 hours.

GRI
Graduate, REALTOR® Institute. A long course of study in contracts, finance, law and ethics, taken after licensing.

CNE
Certified Negotiation Expert. Training from the Real Estate Negotiation Institute in negotiating terms and timelines, not just price, and in doing it collaboratively rather than combatively.

REALM

REAL Luxury
