After almost 10 years of being in the Jackson Hole real estate business, we have to say that real estate is a passion for the both of us. We love the complexities of “putting the deal together”, we love introducing new individuals to the many unique qualities of the Jackson Hole lifestyle, we love working with friends in assisting them in making one of their most important life decisions, we love learning about the history of Jackson Hole. We feel blessed to live in the beautiful Jackson Hole valley and enjoy the lifestyle that we have.
What have we learned so far after 10 years in the real estate business? That taking care of people never goes out of style. That, in spite of all the technology and readily available information on the internet, real estate is a people business. And people almost always crave the personal touch. They have access to all of the information they want but they do not have the knowledge. They still look to us as the experts that can help them decipher the information, provide local “insider” perspective, use our wisdom to give them sound advise, and consult and steer them through complex transactions in a smooth and stress free manner.
It’s also all about integrity. We would rather advise a client not to buy something than to see them months later having made the wrong decision. By putting our customer’s interests first, we are able to build life long relationships rather than focusing on “doing the deal” and selling real estate just one transaction at a time. We have learned that if you truly care about people and take care of them, the rest will follow and our success is inevitable.
Christy started in Jackson real estate eight years ago, but had her start in the crib. Both her parents owned a successful real estate company in Naples, Florida and she literally grew up in the business. Her aunts, uncles, and other family members all worked in real estate. Her love for the mountain lifestyle became evident during her family vacations to Lake Tahoe and Vail, Colorado. Soon she was heading off to college at the University of Denver where she met Garth.
Garth originally from Milwaukee, WI gladly chose the University of Denver and never looked back East, except to watch the Green Bay Packers. He fell in love with the West when he was young—many family vacations to the C Lazy U dude ranch in Granby, Colorado planted the seed. John Muir said it best, “The Mountains are calling and I must go.”
We both graduated with degrees in business from University of Denver and headed to Vail, CO in search of the perfect mountain town. During those years, Garth and Christy visited every mountain resort town there is and ultimately found Jackson Hole. Three years later, they were married in the Grand Teton National Park and knew they were destined to live here for a long time.
Garth and Christy share their life with their 1 year-old daughter and hope that she comes to love Jackson as much as they do. As a family, they spend their time hiking the Tetons, fishing and camping, and enjoying the outdoors. They both love Jackson’s wonderful sense of community and are grateful to be able live and raise their daughter in such a vibrant community.
