For more than 20 years, I have gained experience in appraising a wide range of income-producing real estate throughout Western Montana. This includes but is not limited to commercial, multi-family residential, multi-unit vacation rentals, industrial, agricultural, and land.

After building my career as a MAI-designated appraiser, I am pleased to bring that same level of market knowledge and professional analysis to my real estate buyer and seller clients.

After graduating from high school and growing up farming pigs and dairy cows in Iowa, I moved to the Flathead Valley (Bigfork, Montana) in 1995. Although I was not born in Montana, my wife and our children are third- and fourth-generation Montanans, specifically born in the Mission Valley, the Flathead Valley, and Missoula.

In Bigfork, I helped operate a Christian leadership training school called Eastgate for approximately six years. Between school sessions, I worked in construction, building single-family homes and commercial buildings. I then attended Flathead Valley Community College in Kalispell and received my Associate's degree. Afterward, I attended the University of Montana in Missoula and majored in Business Administration with a concentration in Management.

In 2005, I joined a firm in Kalispell as a trainee for commercial property appraisals. In 2009, I obtained my Montana Certified General Appraiser License and shortly after started Holmes Real Estate Appraisal Co., LLC. My focus as an appraiser is centered on "Excellence in Professional Appraisals", whereby I provide my clients with independent, third-party, unbiased market-supported appraisals—regardless of the outcome.

Through years of rigorous training and education, I earned the MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute in 2013. This professional credential is recognized throughout the commercial real estate industry for advanced education, experience, and the demonstration of competency in the appraisal and valuation of income-producing properties.

After much prayer and consideration, my wife and I have decided to expand my career into residential and commercial real estate sales. We are happy and blessed for me to have the opportunity to join the teams at PureWest Christie's International Real Estate and SVN | PureWest Commercial Real Estate. We pray that the Lord will help me be a blessing to my colleagues, clients, and the communities I serve.

My goal is to assist and serve my clients in the most effective and efficient way I can. With more than 30 years of living in Western Montana and more than 20 years of appraising, I believe my experience allows me to provide valuable insight and guidance throughout the buying and selling process.

Whether you are buying, selling, or looking for an experienced opinion on the market, I would be honored to earn your trust and assist you with your real estate needs.
