Testimonials

Bryce provided impeccable client service as a dual agent for us and the buyer of our home. We are especially thankful for her patient and unpretentious demeanor."

 

"Baylor was very attentive to all my requests and went out of his way to show me the properties I was interested in. The overall experience was excellent! I would highly recommend Baylor and ERA to everyone."

 

"Baylor was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. He was attentive to our needs, explained the process extremely well, and helped us purchase a new home that is PERFECT for our family!"

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

Amanda was such a joy to work with! She was incredibly professional, communicative, reliable, and kind. Amanda not only helped us with the purchase of our land but also with the sale of it. She worked hard to understand our needs and the needs of the buyers while helping both families to find middle ground that was mutually beneficial. Amanda is a truly wonderful human being and talented real estate agent! When Amanda was gone for travel, her fellow agent, Jim, was also a terrific help. We were impressed by the relationships and consistency of the ERA office.

"My boyfriend and I moved to Montana for the many reasons most do. We fell in love with its beauty and Baylor helped make our dream a reality by helping us purchase our first home! He made the process so easy and was always patient and understanding of what we were looking for. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. Thank you again, Baylor!"

"Amanda really went above and beyond. We looked at land, small houses with small lots, houses with big lots - even houses for additional family members. She was patient, professional, responsive, helpful and friendly throughout! I am so pleased with this experience and all the help Amanda has and continues to provide."

Walter has the great ability to understand not only his own business, but mine as well and uses this to both our benefit. His attention to detail and follow-up is second to none. I can wholeheartedly recommend Walter to anyone

Bryce worked diligently for us and she cared about what we were looking for.

Bryce was great to work with. We have worked with her many times and will continue to do so!

Amanda goes above and beyond. She guided us through the buying process from Central America. When she knew she might be out of service, she always provided someone to contact if we had any questions. It was our first time buying a home and Amanda made it quite simple. If we had any questions along the way, she always had an answer or could direct us toward another resource or person that could answer our question. I would highly recommend Amanda to others. She is always professional and does an incredible job.

"Amanda Murphy was my agent for almost two years while I sought a retirement home in Livingston, MT from my home in Maryland. I have come to call her "Amazing Amanda" for her breadth and depth of knowledge of the Livingston area, and her wealth of contacts and ability to get things done under extenuating circumstances. Throughout the two years of searching, Amanda maintained a pleasant and professional demeanor and showed infinite patience with my wanting to look at properties, all the while learning what my needs and wants were, and honing our search accordingly. Once I found a house, she was exemplary in getting the process and paperwork in order and all went very, very smoothly. I am now happily a resident of Livingston, MT and she continues to help me settle in to life in Montana. I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough to anyone seeking property in the greater Livingston area, she is just plain outstanding."

Amanda was there for me whenever I needed.  She always made herself available and was outstanding in responding to my calls/emails/texts in a timely manner.  Her guidance was invaluable as was her support.  I could not have asked for a better person and agent than Amanda.  A complete 10 out of 10.

Gator listened to what I wanted; he asked the right questions and found my ranch. He was on top of everything and communicated extremely well with myself and two other of my associates. He did a great job.

 

"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.

 

The level of service Gator provided was excellent and most important was his honest appraisal of properties which he showed us. The overall experience was easy and quick to our time line requirements

"Amanda was so helpful with our search for a home within our price range. Very warm and friendly and knew better what we were looking for than we did ourselves. She helped us find a wonderful home and we couldn't be happier with anyone else. She was very helpful and kept us up to date and informed every step of the way. Thank you Amanda!"

 

Baylor is the best!

 

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...

 

"Baylor did a fantastic job, and is a huge asset to your team!"

 

Eden and Bryce were amazing. We knew they were on top of things every second of the way!

Gator is the man!

Amanda was absolutely amazing throughout my entire home buying experience! From the beginning, Amanda connected me with lenders and helped me establish a budget and search criteria. When I found the perfect place, she guided me through the offer process and negotiation. The entire process was seamless and comfortable, and I felt supported the entire time! Thank you, Amanda

"Amanda was an amazing agent. She was able to find our perfect property and assist us through the purchasing process.She is an asset to the Livingston ERA office!"

Positive, patient, and helpful

It has been my good fortune to have engaged Amanda for four real estate transactions. Amanda's personable demeanor blends with her excellent business and real estate competencies to provide a very satisfactory real estate experience. Amanda will spontaneously "go the extra mile" to ensure that experience."

"Gator was excellent and most importantly he provided honest appraisals of properties which he showed us. The overall experience was easy and quick to our timeline requirements."

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

Amanda Murphy handled our situation perfectly. We will reach out for future services.

Baylor always got back to me right away with information and he helped keep me calm through the process.

Aurora was fantastic!  We were moving to Montana from out of state... which came about during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Moving cross country is stressful enough but to add all the extra stressors of a pandemic, made it seem impossible. However, Aurora stepped up to the plate!  She was more than willing to jump right in and arrange live video tours for our family to visit all the properties that we were interested in purchasing. She showed us a property that completely suited our family's needs. We were very impressed with Aurora's timeliness, how she listened to our many needs and dug right in to find listings, she was able to take care of all the paperwork and so many things unique to all the COVID delays and changes. Would definitely recommend giving her a call!  

 

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.

Very professional and made himself available throughout purchase

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!

Amanda made everything run seamlessly through the whole process. I'm very satisfied with her conduct and attentiveness.

Amanda got right to the job of selling my house. I had two offers within 48 hours. She made the selling process easy and clear, and she made many excellent suggestions and offered much support

Working with Amanda went very smoothly and without hesitation, I would recommend her in the future. We've known Amanda for a few years now and engaged with her when we got serious about purchasing a home. The most important thing to us is someone who can (1) take the stress out of buying a home and (2) someone who can help narrow your scope/vision to focus on what works for you. We found Amanda really helpful in both of these categories, which having worked with several realtors in the past is not always easy to find. It was important for us to work with someone who was really connected to what is going on at a neighborhood level: Master development plans for each city, engagement/awareness with city council actions, and a general vision for how things will be as new locales are added and existing communities mature. The importance of that knowledge can't be understated when real estate markets are doing well because it really shows a commitment to the client. Thanks, Amanda, we look forward to working with you again

We had a great experience working with Amanda. She is quick, on top of it, and very responsive and well-connected. She helped us coordinate everything we needed (and wanted!) to make our first home buying process run smoothly. Amanda also took the time to explain everything clearly, including the contract language, the timeline, and general order of operations. I highly recommend working with her and her colleague Machael. You'll be in good hands!

 

"Amanda was wonderful! She was very easy to work with and extremely professional. We will be recommending her to our friends for any of their Real Estate needs."

 

"Baylor was knowledgeable and kind. He was always quick to help us and answer any questions we had about the process."

Walter went out of his way to assist us with revising our contract and finishing elements to make sure that our sale was completed.  thank you for working with us and helping us through the selling process.  We look forward to our next experience with you in the future.

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!

Amanda was great at explaining the whole home buying process for a first-timer. She kept great notes on what I wanted (condo, dog-friendly, under budget, etc.) And every listing she brought was almost perfect. She advised me when to push on a place and how to make my offers more competitive. Never was sarcastic or gave any hint she was annoyed about having to explain something multiple times!

"It was truly positive. The realtor with whom we worked, Amanda Weber, managed the challenges of the preparation and sale with professionalism and great cheerfulness. We had already relocated, adding to Amanda’s workload and responsibilities. I wanted you to know that I/we would certainly recommend ERA Landmark."

My fiancé and I were visiting the National Parks and fell in love with the area. On a walk down Bozeman’s Main St. we happened upon a real estate office and thought we’d just pop in to get a little more information about the area. Amanda greeted us with a warm smile and a wealth of information. She answered all of our questions and always made herself available to us even before we knew we were going to place an offer on property. She did a phenomenal job negotiating our offer and walking us through the processes specific to the property we purchased. I would highly recommend working with Amanda and I have already referred friends of mine to her. She’s a dream!

Amanda was so enthusiastic and on the ball. She kept us posted and just went out of her way to help in any way possible. Kudos from the Ellwoods to Amanda! Thank you!

Amanda was amazing to work with! We randomly walked into a realtor office in Bozeman and she assisted us, immediately we knew she was the agent we wanted to work with. We have both bought and sold real estate with Amanda. She was able to provide local expertise, resources, and was extremely responsive. We would absolutely work with Amanda in the future and intend to on future land purchases.

Jamie was a breath of fresh air!  She is incredibly knowledgeable and was always willing to answer our questions.  Her positive outlook always helped ease any stressful moments!  Jamie always brought a “can do” attitude and she had zero problems getting her hands dirty to help if needed.  We will recommend Jamie to all our friends and family! 

Gator is great! Laid back, no pressure, always available to show houses and answer questions. Would definitely recommend.

Bryce was very patient and always accommodating. Working from another state made finding the right place very difficult, Bryce was awesome throughout.

"Patient, knowledgeable, caring, and responsive. I've been working as a real estate lender for 30 years. We chose to work with Baylor because of his professional yet friendly personality. He was always responsive, took care of every situation right away and removed all of the stress. We highly recommend working with Baylor!"

 

Gator stayed on top of the entire transaction and made sure it ran smoothly. Very communicative.

Walter took the time to know the buyer's wants and needs and was able to match those to our home and get us in contact with the right buyer.

Amanda is incredible and she's really fun to work with! She makes what can be an overwhelming process so much more manageable with her understanding and responsiveness. She did a great job of keying into what was important in my search and her knowledge of and ability to keep up with the fast-paced market is impressive. I couldn't have done it without her!

"Amanda is very thorough, professional and responsive to questions. She is a pleasure to work with."

I would use Walter Rivers again in buying or selling a home and recommend him to to my friends and family

"It was pretty intimidating to try to buy a house in the current market, but Baylor made the process approachable and painless. He went above and beyond to help me secure my house, from answering texts at all times of the day to FaceTime showings to delivering special materials to the owner for fixes. Not only is he knowledgeable about the market, but he truly cares about helping you find the perfect house. I would definitely recommend him as an agent to other buyers! Thanks so much for all your hard work Baylor as well as all the employees at ERA who helped out with the process!"

Amanda was always there for us even through the long drawn out process of finally getting out to Montana (more than 5 years)! She was very knowledgeable of the area and was able to answer all of our questions. She was able to lead us in the right direction until she found just the perfect house for us. We really enjoyed working with Amanda and would highly recommend her!"

Accompanying every rival agent when showing the house, as per my request. I failed to take a hose into the garage for winter so he noticed and took care of it independently (nice touch).

 

"Baylor went above and beyond to help secure the home for us. When issues arose, he dealt with them in a professional manner and gave sound advice. If it weren’t for him, I’m fairly certain the house would have gone to someone else. He was there for us each step of the way like no other realtor I’ve dealt with has been before. He’s now my personal realtor moving forward."

 

 

"Walter always communicated in a timely and efficient manner. He went out of his way to be of service to us. He does a very thorough job and we appreciated his professionalism very much."

 

A pleasure to work with! Baylor Carter is who I would use again for a realtor. His knowledge of the area is as deep as his roots and his character lends itself well to the role that a real estate agent plays. Any questions or concerns I had were quickly met with an informed and intelligent response. It's not often that you can find such thoughtfulness in his line of work. I highly recommend considering Baylor for helping to navigate your real estate needs

"Amanda was very enthusiastic, professional, and thorough in her efforts. I appreciate her efforts to find the right purchase to fit my search."

"Bryce is extremely proactive with all aspects of selling and buying homes. I will always appreciate her kindness and knowledge for both home buying and home selling process. Bryce Sullivan is the best agent in Montana!"

"I have known Gator for a number of years and continue to work with him because he is well informed, always responsive and a person of fine character. I can always count on him to go the extra mile. He is a person who truly cares about his clients. I know I am in good hands when he is on my team."

 

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

 

"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!"

 

Walter Rivers was personable, friendly, EXTREMELY knowledgeable and simply the best agent we could hope for!

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. Not only has Walter served us well in our two separate home searches over one 13 years, but he has also been involved in transactions with both of our adult daughters. There is no doubt - Rivers Delivers!

Amanda Weber was my buyer’s agent for a property I purchased in Bozeman last month… I would give her an ‘11’ on all applicable categories based on the ‘1 – 10’ scale...very exceptional service

Working with Amanda was very smooth! She is very responsive, patient, reliable and knowledgeable. We felt very confident in the advice she gave us and we felt like she was always on our side throughout the entire process. We had lots of questions along the way, since this was our first time buying a home, and Amanda always had the answers and made sure we understood everything that was going on. We had a fair bit of negotiating with the seller and Amanda was a great communicator throughout it all - even with the disjointed schedules my husband and I had at the time. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor

 

"Terrific experience! Amanda is wonderful!"

 

Walter was an extremely patient and attentive agent. I have already recommended him to others

Walter Rivers is the most patient, diplomatic person on earth. He is the ideal combination of the consummate professional realtor along with charming personality, incredible dedication to his job, clients and unbelievable work ethic

We were on a pre-planned thirty day trip when the house sold in three days. Walter did an excellent job coordinating the negotiations and the required paperwork as we continued our trip

Amanda handled all the oddities of this deal extremely well. She showed her knowledge of real estate laws and rules. She offered great advice!

The service I received from Walter "Gator" Rivers far exceeded my expectations. He was terrific--knowledgeable, accessible, honest, patient, creative, and I could go on. Suffice it to say, I give Gator my highest recommendation!

“Amanda was excellent.  Our property sale was smooth and efficient.  We thank her for her time and prompt responses.  We highly recommend Amanda, she and the ERA team were great!

Amanda was an excellent real estate agent. She exceeded expectations in both the selling and buying process. Both transactions were seamless. Amanda was able to contract out all services that were needed within a week including HVAC, Window replacement, Sprinkler, gutters, inspection, title, loans etc. Amanda was even able to find a replacement rental for the tenants that were being displaced. Amanda's communication was exceptional and immediate. We were never left wondering about next steps. Highly recommend!

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.

Amanda was there for us every step of the way. She is a very hard worker. She is dedicated and always had our best interest in mind. Replies and major steps were always very timely. I would very highly recommend Amanda.

It was the personalized service that gave me the utmost confidence and trust in Walter 'Gator' Rivers. He answered any and all questions and kept me updated as much as possible considering I was an out-of-state client. He was top-notch throughout the entire process!!

We have worked with Bryce Sullivan many times over the years and highly recommend her! Her attention to detail, honesty, integrity, and kindness really shines through. We also worked with her daughter, Eden Knapp, on our most recent transaction. They are a fabulous team and both went above and beyond to assist with our sale and purchase. We highly recommend them both!

 

"Amanda was always available to answer questions and offer her expertise. I really appreciated Amanda's diligence and experience, and her invaluable contacts in Livingston."

 

Baylor was wonderful! Knowledgeable about the process, helpful, and very kind.

I highly recommend Amanda. She is dedicated, responsive, and very hard-working. She helped us tremendously throughout the buying process. We always felt that she worked in our best interest and made sure that we were comfortable as we moved forward. She also was present at our closing, which we appreciated. Thank you, Amanda, for everything!”

 

"Amanda is always cheerful, responsive, and professional. She is a trusted partner in my real estate life, and I would not consider going through the process without her help and guidance."

 

"Amos did an excellent job of listening to our wants, finding suitable properties, getting speedy access to and presenting the properties, and managing the offer and other documents. This was all done by email, text, and FaceTime - we didn’t meet Amos in person until the post-inspection walk-through! The overall home-buying experience was easy peeezy."

 

Will always use Bay. He is kind and really cares about your concerns.
