Embedded in the roots of this town, her father ran a small business on main street for 30 years. After attending Montana State University and the Art Institute Online to pursue Graphic Design, Hallie knew that staying in the Gallatin Valley is where she needed to be. Hallie has an extensive background in graphic design, non-profit marketing, client relations, customer service, and design and web work, but the most important job she’s had is being a mom of  a 5 ½ year old spunky kiddo. Hallie prides herself in developing relationships and showing her clients that she is not afraid to speak up and is focused on getting the job done and doing it well. If you don’t see Hallie interacting with clients, you can find her water coloring, snowboarding, hiking, camping, doing yoga, gardening, and having quality time with family and two rescue dogs.   http://coldwellbankerbozeman.com/blog/9929/please-help-us-welcome-hallie-kronebusch-to-the-coldwell-banker-distinctive-properties-bozeman-office!/ Tue, 13 Jul 2021 02:27:42 -0700 As a Montana native, I recognize and value the trust my clients place in me and I strive every day to exceed their expectations. Prior to entering real estate, I traveled around the world as a flight attendant and worked as a hair stylist for 12 years. These experiences taught me the discipline it takes to build a successful real estate business in Montana. Outside of real estate, I take pride in giving back to the community and serve on several committees such as my favorite the Festival of Trees, raising money for Intermountain Children's Home. I enjoy helping our entire community raise money. I also enjoy spending time in the mountains with My Fiancé, our Black lab Jackson, family and friends.My philosophy is simple: clients come first. We pledge to be in constant communication with our clients, keeping them fully informed throughout the entire buying and selling process. We believe that if you’re not left with an amazing experience, we haven’t done our job. We don’t measure success through achievements or awards, but through the satisfaction of our clients. http://coldwellbankerbozeman.com/blog/9904/please-help-us-welcome-brady-ferriter-to-the-coldwell-banker-distinctive-properties-bozeman-office!/ Fri, 25 Jun 2021 02:38:29 -0700 Giving back to the communities in which we live and work is the cornerstone of Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties Distinctive Angels Program.  Our agents are constantly looking for ways to make a difference in our community, and after learning some surprising facts about homelessness in our schools, our agents were eager to help.Did you know there are over 100 homeless students in the Bozeman District and a similar number in the Belgrade District? Many of these are unaccompanied minors, meaning there is no parent or guardian in their lives.  Some have aged out of foster care.  The definition of homeless for school district services is a little different.  Under the law, a child may qualify as homeless if he/she is:• Living in an emergency shelter, domestic violence shelter, or transitional housing.• Living in a motel or hotel due to economic hardship.• Living in a car, park, campground, public place, bus or train station, abandoned building, or other structure not meant for housing.• Doubled up with relatives or friends due to a loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason.Homeless students receive assistance through the school districts through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, but they are still in need of help from the community.That's why our agents have come together to collect donations for these students in need.  Here's how you can help: http://coldwellbankerbozeman.com/blog/7161/distinctive-angels-need-your-help/ Fri, 18 Oct 2019 09:31:28 -0700 One of the largest purchases most of us will ever make is that of our home.  In order to make the process as stress-free and streamlined as possible, you will want an experienced professional looking out for your best interest.  Check out our top 5 reasons to use a buyer's agent when purchasing a home.1. The first and most obvious reason to use a buyer's agent?  There is no cost to you as the buyer to work with an agent.  A buyer's agent receives a portion of the selling agent's commission at closing, meaning you won't be responsible for any commission costs to your agent when you find your perfect home.2. A buyer's agent has your best interests in mind.  Most houses listed for sale have a listing agent representing the seller, and this agent is obligated only to represent the seller's best interest.  Having an experienced agent on your side means they can handle the tough negotiating for you, ensuring that your interests are properly represented.3. A buyer's agent understands the local, current housing market.  A real estate professional will be up to date on market trends in the area in which you are looking to purchase.  This will be especially crucial when it comes time to put an offer in on a home.  Your agent will help guide you in the right direction and make sure you are represented fairly in all stages of the transaction.4. A buyer's agent will handle drafting and completing your real estate contracts.  Trying to understand the intricacies of contingencies, deadlines, and necessary documentation can be extremely overwhelming, especially if this is your first home purchase.  Leave this to your buyer's agent, who will be well-versed and familiar with real estate contracts, and can explain everything to you as you go.5. A buyer's agent will coordinate showings.  While this may seem like a small task, coordinating multiple showings at many different properties can actually be a time-consuming and confusing undertaking.  Allow your buyer's agent to handle this, working within your schedule and availability to make sure you see everything you are interested in.Do you have other questions about the pros and cons of working with a buyer's agent?
