Buying in the New Market

Our educational, proactive approach ensures that you understand each step of the process and what's coming next.  The result:  Less surprises and a uniquely enjoyable experience.

Our '3 Buyer Tips' video gives a glimpse inside our process. Contact us to discuss a timeline and strategy tailored to your goals.

Build Your Team

Buying a home can mean up to 25 or 30 people may have hands-on involvement with the process.  Starting with a solid, experienced agent (hi there!) ensures that everyone from the lender, home inspector, escrow officer and others involved are all working together like a well oiled machine, equipped to handle any bumps and shifts that may occur during the transaction. Known for being a calm leader, I'll keep you informed and educated as we move through each step of the journey as a team.

"Page and her team went out of their way to educate us about each part of the process and all were quick and thorough in their responses to questions. Every day we found ourselves saying "thank goodness we have Page!"

Find Your Home, Make the Offer

Once you are prequalified with a lender or have funds for a cash purchase, it's go time.  We can take it slow or move with lightning fast speed--whatever you choose.  When it's time to make an offer, we share market data and consult with you to come up with the right contract terms (it's more than just price). If the seller accepts, congratulations! Otherwise, we dive in and negotiate diligently on your behalf.

Protecting your interests is a priority, which means writing the strongest offer possible for your unique situation.

"We had a 100% positive experience working with Page to purchase our dream home in Livingston, Montana. We were so impressed with Page's professionalism, work ethic and knowledge. She worked around the clock and made us feel comfortable."

Inspections & Appraisal

After a seller accepts your offer, the clock starts ticking.  The home inspection process typically comes next, followed by the appraisal. The inspection ensures the home systems are working properly and free of major defects. The appraisal ensures the price you offered is not too high based on comparable properties that have sold. You'll be providing mountains of paperwork to your lender, and we'll stay involved to make sure everything is on track and easy for you to understand.

If everything goes well, it means most of the nail biting parts are over!

"Page never made me feel pressured, but was great about giving me a nudge when I needed it. She ensured we were as competitive as possible without having to step outside of our comfort zone."

Closing & moving in!

After the details of the contract are satisfied by everyone and financing details are completed, the Title Company prepares documents for closing.  Our team prides itself of giving you information on what that looks like in advance so there are no big questions or surprises at the closing table.  Once the documents are signed by everyone, ownership is transferred by recording the Deed at the County offices, and the property is yours!

"Page's real estate acumen and efficiency has made her a part of Bozeman's highly qualified and successful group of Realtors. But what sets Page apart in a group of her peers is her intuition and empathy. she doesn't just hear what the client is saying-she listens to their heart. she doesn't just look at a property for a client- she sees it thru their eyes. I couldn't have wished for a better Realtor."

Looking for a rural living experience that's just a few minutes away from central Belgrade or Downtown Bozeman? Look no further than this amazing one-acre residential property located in Belgrade. With its ideal location, this property provides easy access to all the adventures Bozeman, Belgrade, and Gallatin County have to offer. This picturesque home boasts high ceilings, exposed wood beams, an open living area, and over 4,000 square feet of finished living space. The property includes two kitchens, five bedrooms, two or three living areas (depending on how you utilize the open design), and light and bright windows. If you are looking for a property to showcase your media, the lower living room could be an excellent theatre space. A Hobbyist Delight: This lot (Lot 4) would allow up to 2 horses as per the covenants. The property currently features an arched greenhouse, raised beds, a partially sprinkled lot, and a detached 3-car garage. Light Covenants: The covenants also allow for a home business, and this property's 3rd upstairs bedroom was previously used as a salon. The salon has been converted to a bedroom by the current owner but could be converted back to business use with independent exterior access if the future owner so desires. The former commercial area boasts a washer/dryer combo, a minimal kitchen prep area, and ¾ bath. This space could easily be separated from the main living area with the addition of a locking door. The basement is also not to be missed! With 9-foot ceilings and a full kitchen, the lower level can live as a full second apartment. The stained concrete floors don’t predefine the use and flow nicely between the open kitchen, dining room, living room, and sitting area. There are two bedrooms in the basement and a washer and dryer hookup. The property has a parking pad built next to the shop, and the current owner converted the 3rd garage bay into swinging doors that allow light to enter. The garage also has a pellet stove to keep you warm while you utilize the additional space.

The River House on Little Creek Bend! The stunning and private location is just the "lead in" for this amazing one of a kind property. The custom home was built by a superb craftsman for his forever home, but he was relocated, and this property has never been on the open market. The building materials used include; handsome reclaimed and regular wood timbers, metal and tin, slate, granite, metal cable, and other quality traditional building material. Put these materials together and you have a "forever" home. Comfortable radiant floor heat along with a gas fireplace makes this home cozy warm and with mini splits located through the home - there is air conditioning. The home is on a 15,410 sq. ft. landscaped lot with UG sprinklers. The asphalt driveway leads you into any one of the 3 spacious garage stalls. So, we have an incredible home for sure, but let's move outside onto the most inviting, entertaining, and custom 1,100 sq. ft. deck/patio I have seen in Livingston. The deck and hot tub overlook a tributary of the Yellowstone, and the Yellowstone River, with an island directly behind the property that serves as an outdoor sanctuary. Now we step off the deck and there is a personal beach for your time with nature along the Yellowstone tributary with access to the island and multiple recreational opportunities. The deck with bar and large hot tub is suited for friends and family - and you can catch your favorite game from the well placed TV. Browse through the pictures to get a glimpse of what we have to offer at the River House on Little Creed Bend, then call for your personal appointment. This has been a very successful vacation home.
