"We have dealt with our local ERA several times in the past years and it remains to be an extremely professional and well-run company. Using of a drone to video the exterior of our home was new to us and it was beautifully done. We thought it added to the professional experience of selling our home.

"Walter Rivers is outstanding in all respects. Not only is he remarkably familiar with the real estate in the Bozeman area, but he is aware of opportunities for home sales as soon as they hit the market. He is extremely professional, but at the same time very personable. His guidance is well considered and invariably proved to be exactly on the mark. There is no doubt - Rivers Delivers!
"
- Don Bishop
"Gator helped us purchase our first home. In a land of shifty realtors, it was astonishing to find someone who prided themselves in being honest and operated with their clients' true interest in mind. You won't find a single person in this zip code who'll have anything negative to say about Gator. That's not something easily claimed...

- Kevin Stein
"Gator has a refreshing and friendly approach to selling property. For him, there's no such thing as "business as usual," and he demonstrated that when he sold my house during the toughest of real estate times. I recommend Gator to anyone looking for a great agent!
"
- Greg Dennee, Partner, Locati Architects
"Purchasing a home from out of market has its unique challenges. Gator really helped us understand the market and was always willing to meet contractors and others who needed access to the home during the process. He was also very helpful in representing our interests throughout the process. He was always very responsive and gave us the confidence we needed to make the decision to buy the home.
"
- William & Patricia Sullivan
"Gator was amazing! he handled all of my panicked questions and "freak out" moments incredibly well. He was so wonderful, in fact, that my cousin switched to him and is now buying her first house with his assistance. We'd use him again - no question about it!

"My wife and I are purchasing investment property in Bozeman from our home in California. Our Grandson who is attending MSU will be an initial tenant of the property. Walter has had to do much more than what would be required if were Montana residents. He has communicated via phone and e-mail and has answered every question we have asked of him. Exceptional job.
"
- Murry & Becky Darch
"I am from out of state, unfamiliar with the area. Mr. Rivers picked me up at the motel and showed me many properties in the area over a couple of days. After a selection was made, he kept me informed of the construction progress and also took pictures of the property. After closing, he has recommended a window blind installer and has agreed to let in anyone that would furnish the condo until I arrive in January. In my opinion, Mr. Rivers has provided outstanding service to me.
"
