is tough to miss!The Rivers to Peaks Real Estate team is dedicated
to helping people who come from all parts of this great country and across
the world to find second homes or retire in the most beautiful region
in the world and to provide the best second home purchase experience anywhere.
To ensure you find the perfect home in the perfect setting, even though you are working with us from a great distance away and often have few opportunities to visit while you’re looking, Rivers To Peaks Real Estate has developed a staff of agents and communications techniques that are specifically tuned to meet the needs of long-distance real estate buyers.
Most people apply a “random walk” theory to real estate shopping in second home and resort communities. They like an area and then stop in at a real estate office. Before they know it, they are relying on, if not completely trusting, the first agent they have met. This is one of the reasons there is such a proliferation of small real estate companies. And it is also the reason so many national real estate companies set up shop in these same communities. They know that you are most likely to walk into a real estate company with a national name you recognize. You get the comfort of believing that the familiar name means a quality experience. But what they deliver is the same real estate experience you would get in any other town – someone to drive you around, show you some comps, and complete a transaction as quickly as possible. They know you’re here for a short time, and they know you want to buy. The rest is going through the motions.
Rivers To Peaks is different – from the ground
up. We want you to make the right decision, not just a quick decision.
That’s why we “hand pick” our real estate agents. We
select and train our agents for the specific market we serve and our specific
way of doing business.
That’s why we’ve put such a premium on developing a communications infrastructure and expertise. We want you to be able to move on your time schedule, not ours. We want you to be able to take advantage of new opportunities and put them in perspective with everything else you’ve seen. And we want you to feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
That’s why we do our own research. To make sure you have all the information you need to understand the market and the properties you are considering.
That’s why, and how, we build solid, long standing relationships with our customers.
Talent
Rivers To Peaks carefully selects its real estate professionals. We have
a very selective agent recruitment process and train our agents to meet
our demanding standards of professional care and expertise. Attitude,
ethics, trustworthiness, people sense and communication skills are our
most valued traits combined with a love of Montana. Then we infuse our
own business methods, policies and processes. Our agents come from varied
backgrounds and share one thing in common – they are Rivers To Peaks
Real Estate agents, aspiring to a higher standard of conduct and professionalism.
They make the buying process enjoyable and rewarding.
Our enthusiasm is your enthusiasm – it is
contagious. We’re enthusiastic about you!
Research
In this information age, Rivers to Peaks Real Estate research goes well
beyond our membership in MLS.
• Each of our agents creates his or her own local listing of all properties on the market and their own insight into the features of the property, a pricing opinion, and qualitative scoring of the condition and potential of the property. It is not like picking a stock – in real estate, it’s what you can’t see – other surrounding properties, location and locale.
• We meet weekly to compare notes on properties available and their suitability for each of our customers.
We publish our own monthly market overview, identifying pricing trends, market changes, new inventory and outlining our market forecast.
Communication
Our goal is to make distance real estate purchasing easier and more responsive
than working with a realtor in your own hometown.
• We make sure you never wonder what we’re
doing on your behalf. Our agents are trained to keep you abreast of all
their activity in the way you are most comfortable working with us. If
you prefer telephone over email, we’ll accommodate. If you prefer
daily or weekly or even monthly updates, we’ll provide them. You
define the level of urgency and we respond.
• We maintain the most comprehensive web site of properties, not
biased toward our listings.
• We provide a private area on the site for each customer containing
a preview of the real estate we recommend they consider as well as a comprehensive
inventory of the properties they have already seen or reviewed, with comments
from the customer and agent, so they can be anywhere in the world and
have access to a full understanding and recollection of where they are
in the purchase process.
