I can't even with the amount of things that happened in August. 🫠

The final push to get a lot of projects done around the homestead, like landscaping, building a duck house, insulating and then attempting to bring a water line down to the tiny house on our property.... plus everything else in between.

Then 4 closings (2 listings, 2 buyer representation properties), and also dealing with some very interesting "professional" situations.

Those of you that know the saga of my truck will also find it comical that I continue to have issues with it, and I've now had the not so pleasure of driving 4 different vehicles in a week + span while they try and figure out what the deal is.

Madi started 7th grade homeschool, Bailey started her Junior year, and Hazel continues to be a terrorist, who will start preschool soon.

We fit in a moment with dear friends,and have another busy September ahead of us.

Deep breaths, acknowledging that all things in life are temporary, and that perspective is everything is how I would summarize August 🤣

Also grateful for a partner in life who helps me through it, along with great friends who show up when I need them most 🫶

PS this song has been on repeat in my car helping me get through it all 🤪

Some real estate transactions are straightforward. This one wasn't.

We originally brought this property to market on January 23, 2026 offered at $1,070,000.

We had two showings and received two offers fairly quickly, but at the time, we simply couldn’t get the terms to line up.

Then my seller’s circumstances changed, and on February 18, we withdrew the property from the market.

But the communication didn’t stop.

I stayed in touch, conversations remained open, and one of the buyers who had previously shown interest was still very much interested. Their circumstances had changed too, and when the timing finally aligned, we were able to work toward putting the pieces together.

On July 1, we went under contract.

From there, it still wasn’t necessarily an easy road. There were negotiations, changes, a few ups and downs, and plenty of communication required along the way.

But today, August 27, we officially CLOSED. 🎉

And there’s another part of this closing that means a lot to me.

This is now the third property here in Montana that I’ve represented this seller in selling, and over the last several years, she has also trusted me enough to refer multiple friends my way. That kind of repeat and referral business is something I never take lightly.

Another one officially SOLD 🤍

There is something especially meaningful about helping a client who spends her time caring for others.

I had the privilege of representing the buyer on this beautiful Stevensville property, offered at $499,900.

Making it even more special, she was referred to me by another client.

Referral business is built on trust. When a past client sends someone they care about my way, I never take that confidence lightly. It is one of the greatest compliments I can receive.

It was also a genuine pleasure working alongside the listing agent, Paulette McMannis, to bring this transaction across the finish line smoothly and successfully.

Another hero helped. Another referral turned into a closing. Another buyer is officially home. 🤍

This one came full circle pretty quickly 🤍

208 Barnwood Way started as a semi custom build and less than four months later, we handed the keys over to its new owners.

I had the opportunity to represent the builder first with the purchase of 208, and then on the sale of 208 Barnwood Way after the home was built.

Upon closing that chapter this week, we turned around and went right back to work. This time, next door.

The builder purchased Lot 10 Barnwood Way, with me representing him on the purchase, and plans are already underway for another semi custom home in Stevensville.

There’s something pretty rewarding about watching a project go from dirt, to plans, to a finished home, to SOLD... and then getting the chance to do it all over again.

So if you’ve been thinking about building in the Bitterroot Valley but don’t necessarily want to start completely from scratch, this is one to watch.

Curious about what it looks like to build in the Bitterroot Valley?

Send me a DM or comment BARNWOOD to find out about this new build AND I’ll send you a HOME BUILDING GUIDE you won't want to miss by 3D Visual Studios.

Every morning and evening that I’m down at the greenhouse, at least four different hummingbirds come to visit. Not once in a while. Every single time.

They dart between the flowers, hover nearby, chase each other through the garden, and even sit with me for minutes at a time.

It reminds me to stop what I’m doing and simply pay attention. 🥹

Hummingbirds are often seen as symbols of joy, resilience, and the importance of savoring life’s sweetest moments. Maybe that’s why their presence feels so meaningful here.

There is something deeply fulfilling about taking a piece of ground and slowly creating something beautiful. Not only for me and my family, but for the bees, butterflies, birds, and every tiny creature that finds food or shelter here.

This garden has required time, work, patience, and plenty of trial and error. But now, watching it come alive and seeing these little hummingbirds return day after day, I know it has become more than something pretty.

It has become a place of peace. A place of life. A place that gives back.

And honestly, this is exactly what my soul needs. 🌿

July was beautiful chaos, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

One of my favorite moments was harvesting the very first cherries from our orchard. If you've followed along for a while, you know how much time, work, money, and patience has gone into these trees. Picking that first bowl of cherries was one of those quiet victories that meant more than most people would ever realize. Hazel especially enjoyed the cherry crisp we made from them.

Tons of showings for buyers and my sellers, which of course, included animal cuddles.

We spent an evening at the Bitter Root Land Trust's 7th Annual Barn Dance on Skyline Angus, which was especially meaningful. Back in 2020, I had the privilege of helping that family purchase the ranch. Today it's permanently conserved, protecting an incredible piece of the Bitterroot Valley for generations to come. Moments like that remind me this job is about so much more than buying and selling property.

We soaked up one last crystal clear Montana sunset before wildfire smoke settled into the valley.

Lots of new life on our property from fawns to chicks, and even coyote pups.

Bailey started her very first job, and I don't know how we got here so fast. Watching your kids become independent is equal parts exciting and bittersweet.

We celebrated Kali's little guy turning one, enjoyed slow summer evenings on the patio, laughed our way through our fifth annual Pond Palooza at Melissa's, and watched Hazel confidently ride the quad all by herself. Those are the moments I'll remember long after summer is over.

Real estate certainly didn't slow down. 5 closings, all very different transactions, but all with the same goal: helping good people get where they want to be.

We also loved having Chrissy and her boyfriend visit. Family time always fills the cup.

And then... there was Niko (aka Hillbilly). He took a hoof straight to the face. He ended up with a hairline fracture, lost several teeth, and now has quite the goofy smile. Thankfully, he's healing well and somehow still thinks every day is the best day ever.

Looking back, July wasn't perfect, but I wouldn't trade this beautiful chaos for anything.

Here's to August 🫶

It's always a privilege to be trusted by a client. It means just as much when that trust begins with another real estate professional.

This buyer was referred to me by an agent in Colorado who took the time to find the right Bitterroot Valley agent for her repeat client.

Now, that client officially owns this beautiful Hamilton property and can begin planning the home they will build here.

Referrals are never something I take lightly 🥹❤️🫶

This transaction also required us to navigate Montana’s new (as of January 2026) 602-I Notice of Intent to Appropriate Groundwater process.

While the recent changes have created plenty of confusion and misinformation, the process itself does not have to be intimidating when everyone understands what is required and works together to complete it.

I've worked through this issue while representing both buyers and sellers on multile occasions this year.

I've seen some initial resistance, largely because the process is new, but I have also seen that it can be handled without derailing a transaction when the parties have accurate information.

Whether you're purchasing vacant land or an existing home, groundwater records should be investigated during your due diligence.

It's also important to know that an available well log does not equal a DNRC water right. Or even an existing well doesn't mean there's a DNRC water right. Be sure you navigate the complexities of buying and selling real estate with knowledgeable people on your side, or at the very least, helpful partners in the transaction.

Are you purchasing land, building a home or trying to understand whether a property has an adequate DNRC water right? Before you buy the view, make sure you understand the water.

Comment WATER and I'll explain what this process can look like.

Land offered at $425,009
