Agent Details

Meet Kerin

What I Know for Sure!

1. There Is No Place Like Home and Montana Feels Like “Home”.

My father was a career military man and we lived in over 11 states in 18 years. When we landed in Montana I was 17 and decided to stay and attend the University of Montana. I love to travel, but am always excited to return to my home in Montana. If you share this love of Montana; I can help you find a “home” or “second home” to call your own.
 

2. Owning Real Estate Is the Best Investment You Can Make For You and Your Family.

I am a graduate of the College of Financial Planning and held a Certified Financial Planning Certificate for many years. My background includes investments in stocks, bonds, insurance, and estate and retirement planning. I have been working in Real Estate and Financial Services for most of my career. I encourage questions and will help you with a complete understanding of the Real Estate Transaction; buying or selling.
 

3. Honesty, Good Communication, and Proper Documentation are Essential.

4. Work Hard and Play Hard for a Balanced Lifestyle.

I enjoy all of the recreational opportunities Montana offers; skiing, golfing, hiking, rafting, etc.
