PUREWEST TURNS 50

PUREWEST TURNS 50

When Dan Averill opened Trails West Realty in the former homesteader cabin-turned-post office on Electric Avenue in Bigfork in 1972, he couldn’t have known that his one-man company would one day grow to include 18 offices and more than 220 sales associates, forming Montana’s number one brokerage with over 2.2 billion dollars in sales volume in 2021.
 
As PureWest celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, we’d like to take a moment to commemorate how far we’ve come, while always holding true to the company’s original aims of building relationships for life. After all these years, we remain devoted to a real estate experience—including luxury, second home, commercial, farm and ranch, land, and residential real estate—that is focused on people and places, knowledge and trust.
 
Trails West became PureWest in 2015. Dan’s son, Sean Averill, had expanded Trails West Realty into the Whitefish real estate market—and throughout the Flathead Valley —and then purchased a Bozeman real estate company named PureWest, expanding our network across western Montana. He also joined forces with Dale Crosby Newman, owner of West Venture Real Estate, cementing PureWest Real Estate’s legacy as the largest independently-owned real estate company in Montana. Our current locations include Whitefish, Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Bigfork, Lakeside, Polson, Hamilton, Missoula, Bozeman, Big Sky, and Ennis. Most recently, we’ve grown into the south-central region of Montana with new Billings and Red Lodge locations.
 
Today, our affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate and Leading Real Estate Companies of the World expands our reach from Montana to other points around the globe and increases our access to luxury real estate properties. We can find you your dream piece of real estate in Montana and also connect you to a top agent in Paris or Dubai. Wherever your road may lead next, PureWest Christie's can help you find a home there. PureWest was built on a legacy of real estate excellence dating back 50 years, and we remain committed to setting the standard for real estate in Montana as we move boldly into the future.
