PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Buyers Representative
As your Buyer's Representative, we can make the process of house hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself. We can help you get financing, guide you to local neighborhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We'll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones.
Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then assist you through the entire process.
Sellers Representative
Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There's advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of a seasoned professional. I have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.
First, we'll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we'll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes that will help draw buyers in. We'll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS® listings.

“Susan I recently worked with real estate agent Susan James to purchase property in Flathead County, Montana. Susan is fantastic to work with! She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. She was inexhaustible during the several months she spent searching for my property. When I was not available for a walk-through, she took me via video call. She provided information and did research on every question I threw at her, and when, after all her work, I tossed her a curve ball and selected a property that met none of my original criteria, she was cheerful and supportive. From the search to the closing to general questions about my new location, Susan helped me through every step of the process. I highly recommend her and will be working with her again!
