I listed my home and 15 acres in the Valley twice previously, with two different realtors from other real estate offices. After 2 years of no action, I cancelled my contract, again, and started over. I researched Realtor websites and chose a realtor based on market presence. What is now "Berkshire Hathaway" came to the top. I called their office on a Saturday morning, Kathie Butts answered the phone, came to my house, gave me an assessment and became my realtor in a few short hours. I quickly observed that Kathie was not a part-time realtor. This was/is her business, her career, and her expertise, bundled into a force to be reckoned with. Kathie is thoughtful, honest, frank (OMG Yes) unrelenting, intelligent (OMG Yes Yes) and most of all, AVAILABLE. Her focus drove the sale to the perfect buyers and we are forever grateful to Kathie for her efforts, time and energy. I have, seriously, never met a better realtor and can assure you I am understating how good she really is and how satisfied two families are today, four years later. NOTE: A year after the sale, she called and said, "Guys, I found your next home." She was right, again! Thank you Kathie for coming through for us, TWICE.

Kathie is professional yet full of fun. I listed a house with her in 2017 it sold in one day. I just listed my home with her in Hamilton Montana and she had it under contract in two days. She actually had three offers in 24 hours. She handles negotiations by thinking through it and giving great ideas that are good for all parties. She is always kind yet she knows her business and makes great suggestions. She works well with everyone and is calm and confident. I would recommend Kathie again and again. She creates a great listing with awesome pictures. Thanks Kathie!!!

We came to Montana with a dream to retire in a beautiful home in an active and friendly town. Kathie helped us as buyers to realize that dream. In every way, she is the ultimate knowledgeable professional in her field. She was immensely helpful in all aspects of the home purchasing process and imparted a helpful list of contacts for various services, such as the home inspection, utilities transfer and other needed services. Kathie also gave several recommendations for dining and fun places to familiarize ourselves with our new home town. Our requested list of home inspection corrections were quickly addressed and subsequently, we were able to close earlier than originally scheduled. Kathie went above and beyond to pave the way as we searched and viewed properties; giving us clear instructions on our part of the process from the offer through closing at the title company. She addressed our concerns and answered all our questions. We are now settling into our lovely home in this gorgeous Bitterroot Valley and we couldn't be happier! If we should ever sell, we will definitely go back to Kathie to handle it. A 5-Star Thanks to Kathie!

We first met Kathie 25 years ago when she assisted a veteran real estate agent helping us purchase property in the Bitterroot Valley. Kathie made such a positive impression because of her energy, knowledge and warm personality that we sought her out when we decided to sell. And we are very glad we did. The process took two years due to a variety of factors, primarily the economy. That can be stressful but at no time did Kathie ever seem discouraged or pressure us to accept less than what we thought it was worth. Her mantra was, "This is a very special property and only a certain type of buyer will recognize that." So we hung in there and it paid off. Kathie's a pro in the best sense of the word and also a very nice person.

Run don’t walk to Kathie’s office if you are looking for a house! I just sold my house in Auburn, Ca and I was not at all happy with my experience. We loved Kathie as soon as we laid eyes on her. She comes in a small package but she is dynamite. She has helped many of our friends and she was born and raised in Auburn. Kathie made our entire experience fun and very informative. She walked us through paperwork and explained things because we had not bought a house in 27 years and, she dropped us off at Nap’s, talk about service??. And, after meeting us and spending time with us she found us the perfect house in Darby. We walked around the house and property and looked at each other and said this is our new home! I could go on and on about Kathie but just go meet her. I like my friends to be characters and she meets all my requirements.

Kathie made buying our first house the best possible experience for us. As a first time home buyer, we were very nervous about the process and we didn't know what to expect. Kathie guided us through the entire process so we never felt alone in the process. She answered every question we had, and we just knew we were getting the right answer. She listened to our concerns and needs and relayed information to the buyers quickly and accurately. I couldn't have ask for a better agent to have our backs. Overall, Kathie's knowledge and expertise made us comfortable throughout the process. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Kathie! For making a long time dream become a reality. You are always welcome in our new home!

Kathie, without a doubt, is an experienced real estate professional with superb communication skills. Her knowledge and expertise for buying and selling houses is incredible. She also knows Ravalli County, and is a strong positive voice for the Bitterroot Valley. She is warm, friendly, and personable. Kathie, showed us the house we eventually bought before we knew it was the right one. We highly recommend her!!!!! P.S. She also knows all the secret trout fishing spots in the Root!

Kathie helped us locate the perfect property for us. Her expertise was amazing to me and my husband. We told her what we were interested in as far as how many acres, the fact that we loved to golf and she lead us to the perfect property right next to a golf course that we absolutely love. Thank you Kathie for taking the time to find us exactly what we wanted. To all those who are looking for the perfect house /property, Kathie is the person you are looking for to find it.
