MEET THE TEAM!

I have many reasons why I exceed my customer's expectations. One of them is having a team that pulls in the same direction of netting our seller the most for their property., or finding a buyer to make your home their dream home. As a way of introduction, I would like to tell you a little about the team that I hope you choose to represent your property.

When you list your home with me, you get one of the top agents in the Greater Big Sky area working for you! You also get my team of specialists -- included FREE!

MY TEAM OF SPECIALISTS . . .

Licensed Personal Assistant
Lindsey Mitchell assists me in a wide array of activities. She is one person you might be communicating with when I need specific information from you, or I want to update you about the progress of marketing your home. Lindsey carries her cell phone at all times, and if you are unable to reach me immediately, she is the next line of defense!

Wendy is timely, efficient and always ready to help. Wendy's office is right next door, so closings and requests for title or property information are only steps away.

Premier Property Lender
Born and raised in Iowa, Joe' s appreciation for mountain living came from childhood ski trips to the Rockies and an overseas internship at Turoa Ski Area in New Zealand while in college. After graduating from Iowa State University, where he received his Bachelor' s Degree in business/marketing, Joe moved to Big Sky in 2002 and began working for Big Sky Resort as a Conference Coordinator. Wanting to apply the exceptional customer service skills he honed while at the resort in a more entrepreneurial endeavor, Joe began his lending career in early 2005 and, not surprisingly, quickly built a customer base of raving fans. Joe believes that by being a constant student of the mortgage industry and financial markets he can truly contribute to his client' s financial success, regardless of whether the client is a first-time home buyer or an experienced resort property investor.

Contractor and Project Supervisor
John Seelye owns his own firm, Big Sky Build. He brought with him, from previous years in Vail, a wealth of knowledge about the building industry and about building in the Rocky Mountain climate. John is the most efficient multi-tasker that I know, and he never ceases to amaze me with his attention to detail. When clients have purchased a special piece of property and need the right contractor to build their dream home, I always put them in touch with John.
