About Us

Knowledge. Experience. Personalized Service.
At Gallatin Realty Group, we are committed to delivering expert guidance and results-driven strategies for buyers and sellers throughout Bozeman, Big Sky, Belgrade, Livingston, Manhattan, Three Forks, Butte, and Whitehall.

Whether you're searching for homes for sale in Gallatin Valley or preparing to list your property, our team puts your best interests first — every step of the way.

Selling your home is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make. It’s not just a property — it’s where memories were made. Knowing when and how to sell can feel overwhelming, which is why having a trusted local real estate professional matters.

At Gallatin Realty Group, we guide you from initial consultation to closing with strategic pricing, expert marketing, and skilled negotiation.

Winter Market Considerations
In many markets, winter can mean fewer buyers due to holidays and weather conditions. However, serious buyers are still active — and less competition can sometimes work in your favor.

Spring & Summer Selling Season
Spring is traditionally one of the strongest times to sell in Montana. Homes show beautifully, buyers are motivated, and longer daylight hours increase showing opportunities. However, inventory also rises — meaning proper pricing and marketing become even more critical.

Studies show homes listed later in the week — often Thursday or Friday — may receive stronger weekend showing activity. More exposure can lead to more offers.

But timing alone won’t sell your home.

The most critical factor in selling your home is pricing it correctly from day one.

When your home hits the MLS, serious buyers see it within the first 48 hours. That initial exposure is your biggest opportunity to generate interest and potentially multiple offers. Overpricing can cause your home to sit on the market. Underpricing can leave money on the table.

Our team conducts a comprehensive market analysis to ensure your home is positioned competitively in the Bozeman and Gallatin Valley real estate market.

Buy Your Dream Home in Bozeman & Gallatin Valley With Confidence

Buying a home in Bozeman or anywhere in Gallatin Valley is an exciting milestone — but it can also feel overwhelming. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or relocating to Southwest Montana, understanding the home buying process helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to buying real estate in Montana.

Begin by researching homes for sale in Bozeman, Belgrade, Big Sky, Livingston, and surrounding communities. Reviewing current listing prices and recently sold homes will help you understand market trends and refine your wish list.

This early research will also help your real estate agent identify properties that match your goals, budget, and lifestyle.

Before scheduling showings, determine what you can comfortably afford.

• Use a mortgage calculator to estimate monthly payments
• Factor in property taxes, insurance, and utilities
• Plan for maintenance and unexpected expenses

Knowing your financial range ensures you shop with confidence and avoid surprises.

Pre-approval is one of the most important steps in the buying process. Sellers in the Bozeman real estate market often require proof of financing before accepting an offer.

You’ll typically need:

• Recent pay stubs
• W-2s or tax returns (past two years)
• Bank statements
• Credit information
• Rental history

Compare lenders to secure competitive rates — and remember, your pre-approval amount is your maximum, not necessarily your ideal spending target.

Working with an experienced Gallatin Valley real estate agent gives you a strategic advantage. A knowledgeable agent will:

• Provide local market insight
• Schedule showings
• Identify off-market opportunities
• Guide negotiations
• Protect your interests

Choosing the right agent makes the process smoother and more successful.

Be patient during this phase. You may tour several properties before finding the right one. Provide detailed feedback to your agent so they can better understand your priorities — whether that’s mountain views, acreage, proximity to downtown Bozeman, or access to outdoor recreation.

When you find the right home, your agent will help you submit a strong, strategic offer based on current market conditions.

Be prepared to consider:

• Purchase price
• Closing costs (typically 2–5% of purchase price)
• Earnest money deposit
• Contingencies (inspection, financing, appraisal)
• 
  

Negotiations may involve back-and-forth discussions on price, repairs, or terms. Your real estate agent will advocate on your behalf while working toward a fair agreement with the seller.

Once your offer is accepted, you’ll enter escrow — typically around 30 days in Montana. During this time:

• Conduct a professional home inspection
• Review property disclosures
• Finalize financing

If significant issues arise, you may negotiate repairs, request credits, or in some cases withdraw your offer.

After inspections, appraisal, and loan approval are complete, you’ll attend closing. You’ll sign final paperwork, transfer funds, and receive the keys to your new home.

Congratulations — you’re officially a homeowner in beautiful Southwest Montana!

At Gallatin Realty Group, we guide buyers through every step of the Bozeman and Gallatin Valley real estate process. From first-time homebuyers to luxury mountain property seekers, we’re here to make your experience smooth, informed, and successful.

Rent Your Property in Bozeman & Gallatin Valley With Confidence

Renting your property in Bozeman or the greater Gallatin Valley can be a smart investment — but managing tenants, pricing, and compliance requires strategy and experience. At GRG Property Management, we help landlords maximize rental income while protecting their investment.

Here’s how the rental process works from start to finish.

The first step is establishing the right rental price based on:

• Current Bozeman rental market trends
• Comparable properties in Gallatin County
• Property condition and amenities
• Seasonal demand

Pricing your rental correctly from day one reduces vacancy time and attracts qualified tenants.

Presentation matters. Before listing your property, we recommend:

• Completing necessary repairs and maintenance
• Deep cleaning the home
• Ensuring safety compliance (smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, etc.)
• Enhancing curb appeal

Well-prepared properties rent faster and attract higher-quality tenants.

At GRG Property Management, we market your property through:

• MLS and rental listing platforms
• Professional photography
• Targeted online marketing
• Local Bozeman and Gallatin Valley networks

Our goal is maximum exposure to secure qualified applicants quickly.

Finding the right tenant is critical. We conduct a thorough screening process that may include:

• Credit history review
• Background checks
• Employment and income verification
• Rental history verification

Proper screening helps reduce late payments, property damage, and eviction risk.

Once a qualified tenant is approved:

• We prepare a legally compliant Montana lease agreement
• Collect security deposit and first month’s rent
• Conduct a detailed move-in inspection
• Document property condition

Clear documentation protects both landlord and tenant.

If you choose full-service property management, we handle:

• Rent collection
• Maintenance coordination
• Vendor communication
• Lease renewals
• Tenant communication
• Compliance with Montana landlord-tenant laws

Our proactive approach helps reduce stress and protect your investment.

Prompt maintenance preserves property value and tenant satisfaction. We coordinate trusted local vendors and ensure repairs are handled efficiently and professionally.

As the lease term ends, we:

• Review market conditions
• Recommend rental adjustments if needed
• Manage renewals or tenant turnover
• Coordinate cleaning and re-marketing

Our goal is to minimize vacancy and maintain steady rental income.

Whether you own a single-family home, condo, townhome, or investment property in Bozeman, Belgrade, Big Sky, Livingston, or surrounding communities, GRG Property Management provides professional, reliable service tailored to Montana landlords.

Protect your property. Maximize your return. Simplify the process.
