After almost 12 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 12 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 12 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 4 year-old daughter, Jocelyn, and she already loves Jackson as much as they do. As a family, they spend their time hiking the Tetons, fishing and camping, skiing and boarding at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort 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.

Don brings to his current position as a sales associate for Sotheby's International Realty 40 years of combined experience in the military, technical sales, marketing and manufacturing arenas, where attention to detail, exceeding customer expectations and strict attention to quality were not a luxury, but a necessity for the well-being of his men, his employees, his customers and their customers. He also spent 20 years on a township planning commission, where he saw the positive and negative effects of planning and design of residential and commercial developments and residences. His goal is to use these experiences to assist his real estate customers to meet their objectives and dreams in this constantly challenging market.

Don is an avid road bicyclist, fly-fisherman, photographer and cross-country skier. He is very active in Jackson as a docent and volunteer at The National Museum of Wildlife Art, a board member of The Friends of Pathways, an advisory board member of The Grand Teton National Park Foundation, the Service Officer for The American Legion Post #43, a board member of The Teton Raptor Center and a member of the Rotary Club of Jackson Hole.

Don is also very interested in supporting and promoting green building practices that will lead to a more environmentally sustainable future for present and future generations. He is the first real estate agent in Jackson Hole, and the second in the state of Wyoming to achieve the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Green Designee certification. His next goal is to achieve the US Green Builder's Council (USGBC) LEED Green Associate and LEED AP Home accreditations. With these credentials, plus 30 years of working closely with environmental issues in manufacturing, Don hopes to create an environment in Jackson Hole where buyers and sellers will routinely include green requirements in their real estate transactions.
