What Happen to Summer?

Obviously, I haven't written since spring. The market in Montana is still moving. A lot of great properties, it's a buyers market baby. Well yesterday I was dropping off my child at school and noticed that the maple leaves are already starting to change. The nights have really cooled off but it is still in the high 70's in daytime. Really lovely. You know, there are people here, like anywhere, that may not appreciate you or treat you as they should. But, there are many many more that are good. I love that.
This summer we were at Lake Como quite a bit, yes the beach is rocky and not sandy, but the water is at the base of the mountains. The reflection of mountains combined with the surrounding pines give you a sense of creation. Of all that is beautiful on earth that you had nothing to do with, it was given to you, with nothing in return. That is Montana. Giving you the people, the river, the lakes, mountains and trails, asking for nothing, not even kindness. You can react however you may want but Montana is still here for you to enjoy. You can't ask for a greater love than that. Please look at my real estate listings at

crisp air

Spring in Montana is enchanting. The air is crisp, the sun is out and the real estate market starts to move. Soon the farmers market will fill the streets every Saturday morning. Fresh tortillas, salsas, vegetables, handmade jewelry, these booths not only provide my home with organic and handmade products they help facilitate bonds among the community.

As the peaks of the mountains reflect light off their late season snow, the 60 degree weather invites neighbors and friends out into the neighborhoods. The large cottonwoods planted in the days of Marcus Daly, our towns founder, are a hundred feet tall and can be seen from across the town. Demanding our attention and respect for the years of affection and sentiment they have provided. Spring in the Bitterroot is refreshing and touching. Reminding us each of what a beautiful place and what a privilege it is to be a resident of Hamilton, Montana.

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Today in Hamilton Montana was a beautiful day. Cold, but beautiful.
Some find their solace in their loved ones, others in their own insanity and still others in the beauty of nature. There is no better place than the "last best place".

Traveling down 8th St. with the crisp breeze and smell of rain in the air, I realize how quaint, how original, how interesting each home is. One after another, some with chipped paint, some with crooked shingles yet others like the brand new toy straight out of the box, lacking scratches, has perfect color & fully equipped all the bells and whistles.
Each home has a history. There was Mrs. Syrup that so eloquently manicured her lawn year after year, with all of the love she had. She finally sold. The next owner tripling the square footage of Mrs. Syrups house, yet instills the same care and love. This house has not only grown in size but also grown in our memories.
Real Estate today can be perfect, can be dreadful, can be a next step. But as you discover this last best place, remember, I know this is personal. This is your home , this is your life.
