Everyone has a story… let me help you write your next chapter. 

“I believe Western Montana truly is the last best place in the world; from its stunning Glacier Peaks, pristine lakes and rivers, Rocky Mountain forests, untouched caves, and rolling pastures... I am excited to share this unparalleled paradise for all to see and experience.”

Meet Hannah:

As a Montana native, Hannah moved to Western Washington State for a few years when she was very young, and always knew she would find her way back home. That dream became a reality many years ago.  Always looking for adventure; from hiking the many breathtaking peaks of our area (with hundreds of miles underneath her boots seeking to explore every corner and peak of the Flathead and Bitterroot Valleys), swimming in the beautiful, crystalline lakes that surround us, indulging in many beautiful nights camping under the Big Sky, gliding down our amazing ski slopes in powder on her snowboard, caving into undiscovered areas below our beautiful ground, hunting whitetail and mule deer, and relaxing in the many natural hot springs…there is always a new adventure around the next corner for Hannah! Speaking of adventure, one of her latest passions has been training and competing in the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the last five years. Currently a purple belt, one of her goals is to share the immense benefits she receives as a result of this sport. According to Hannah: “Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the primary disciplines in the practice of self-defense on the ground, fostering humble confidence and giving power to those who feel powerless. “

One of Hannah’s long-term goals has been to advocate for the conservation of endangered species, primarily the Big Cat species and their entire food chain. Since she was a little girl, Hannah has held animals near and dear to her heart, and she has always sought to find avenues through which to help them. As per Hannah: “Without biodiversity in this world, Earth would not survive, and I am determined to help create a better planet full of rich, natural beauty for future generations to come.”

Hannah took these passions of hers and charted a course to help turn these long-term goals into reality.

To begin her pursuit of endangered species protection, Hannah first enrolled at the University of Montana with a major in Wildlife Biology. After 3 years, she realized that business courses helped give her the tools she needed to apply to building her own businesses, so she changed her focus to Management and Entrepreneurship, but finally settled with Marketing. After much hard work, Hannah graduated Summa Cum Laude in December 2021 with a degree in Business Administration. All challenges and opportunities have been met with 100% effort, commitment, and dedication; qualities that have helped fuel her self-starter attitude. 

Hannah’s entrepreneurial spirit started as a pre-teen, offering dog-walking and lawn care services to neighbors, then starting her own business, “Pinnacle Pet Care”, that provided top quality long-term and short-term Pet and Home Caretaking, and also started her own sports clothing line. In the last few years, she has worked multiple jobs to support herself during her college career. This last year she has also been a member of the marketing team at ALPS Lawyers’ Malpractice Insurance.  According to Hannah: “Making my own way has always brought me the most satisfaction. Someday I will own my own ranch with the absolute joy I have for wide open spaces, nature, and of course, horses and dogs.”

Why Real Estate? 

Hannah’s interest in real estate started in high school, when her first job choice was to become an architect and interior designer. She later realized that what she really enjoyed was the people that were involved with buying and selling real estate. Hannah always finds the most pleasure in helping others and bringing joy into their lives, and incorporating her fascination with homes and land into that premise revealed the route she knew was meant for her. 

As per Hannah: “My interest in helping Buyers and Sellers navigate the complexities of real estate transactions came from studying my mother, a top producing real estate agent in the Flathead Valley, and one of the brokerage owners of PureWest Christie’s International Real Estate, the #1 brokerage in Northwest Montana, and watching her passion for helping others through real estate. Graduating from the University of Montana 2021 with this new focus, I look forward to applying the same spirited dedication to helping others reach their goals. With her mentorship and partnership, I assist my clients in reaching their goals, bring my state-of-the-art and innovative knowledge of finding solutions, share my desire to develop relationships with commitment and dedication, and practice my passion for sharing Montana’s unmatched beauty. If you are a Buyer, allow me to help you find your piece of Montana; whether you are buying your first home, second home, retirement, investment, relocation, downsizing... whatever that goal may be. If you are a Seller who wants to partner with a dedicated and knowledgeable Montana native to market and sell your property, please give me a call! 

Montana to me is peace and serenity.

This is a bit of my story, what is yours?  

I look forward to the opportunity to hear your story and help you write YOUR next chapter.”
