    About Monte Gilman

    Good day! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile on Zillow, I know your time is valuable and I'll keep my comments brief. I have lived in Whitefish MT for over 20 years and am originally from Seattle where I saw my parents friends and family benefit from owning and buying and selling real estate. I moved to Whitefish to ski and was a ski instructor, guide and trainer at Whitefish Mountain Resort. In 1999 I decided to get into real estate sales after buying two homes here in Whitefish and managing them as rentals. It's been a great run and I love my job, it's been educational and very rewarding in so many ways that I never thought of. In 2006 my business partner and I purchased the RE/MAX of Whitefish franchise and what good timing! I'm kidding of course but we did survive and even prosper through the downturn. In 2008 we were awarded the RE/MAX broker/owners of the year in the Pacific Northwest region because we were able to grow the company during a time when real estate offices where tanking left and right. Fast forward, I get to live in the greatest town and get to raise my two sons here, we ski, bike, boat, camp, golf and of course work hard. I love the challenge of listing a home or land and getting it sold for my clients and in turn reaching a goal together, like a team. Our office is a big believer of giving back to the community and we do so often, we participate in the realtor food drive, we help ring bells for the Salvation Army, we have adopted a section of the Whitefish Trail to maintain and preserve, personally, I volunteer teaching skiing for the Big Mountain Ski Club weekly in the winters and volunteer for the Special Olympics as well. Thanks again and if your looking to buy or sell drop me a dime! Cheers.

    We feel very fortunate to have found Monte in our realtor search for the Whitefish area. As we are not from Whitefish, we needed someone with a good knowledge of the area who was available and responsive to check into properties. Monte was more than willing to do video walk-throughs and provide valuable insight into the pros and cons of each area. He was professional without being too formal, and easy to talk to and work with. He went above and beyond by going to the property several times to pick up packages, meet with contractors, etc. We highly recommend Monte if you need an agent in the Flathead area.

    I would highly recommend Monte to anyone looking for real estate advise or help. He far exceeded every expectation we had of him. He even helped us look at houses for 6 months, until we found the perfect house for us. He made it the easiest transaction we have had in real estate. He took care of everything including stuff we had never thought of. We look foreword to working with him again.

    Monte recently helped us on a land purchase in Whitefish. He was very patient with us and spent a lot of time helping educate us about all the nuances of what we were trying to accomplish with our real estate purchase. His local knowledge of zoning restrictions, neighborhood covenants and HOAs was paramount in making sure we got a piece of property that fit all of our needs. Hes friendly and professional and his decades in the Flathead Valley made him a true asset. Thanks Monte!

    Monte was recommended to us by a good friend when we had a desire to move to the Flathead valley.Being new to the Flathead valley and Montana, Monte provided information about all the cities/towns, recreational aspects of the area, the culture, etc.He listened to us in regards to our home wants and needs as well as our price range and showed us real estate that fit within what we were looking for and our price range. He did not waste our time with properties that were outside our price range or did not meet our criteria.He was also flexible and patient with us as we got to know and understand the valley better as well as the housing market and what was realistic within our price range.We found a neighborhood that we liked and our new home as well.When we hear of people who desire to move to the Flathead valley we share with them Montes contact information because we know that they will be treated well, they will be listened to in regards to their housing wants and needs, and they will be shown properties that fit within their budget and not have their time and efforts wasted.

    I completely recommend Monte Gilman for any Real Esate needs. He is a phenomenal Realtor and human being. Monte not only has mass experience but he is bright and professional and very thorough. Monte handles no part of the process with half a heart and makes sure every aspect of the transaction is completed with precision. I didn t give Monte much of a warning to show me property and he had a very complete list and appointments lined up perfectly in the short time I was in town. Further, I have used Monte for a very complicated subdivision that we needed handled in a very short period of time and Monte dominated the scene. He got us exactly what we needed. His efforts and care is incomparable. Monte Gilman is the best and this valley is so fortunate to have him.
