“Who is the best real estate agent in Bozeman, Montana?”

There isn't one "best" agent in Bozeman. The right choice depends on whether you're buying or selling, your price range, and the kind of property: an in-town home, acreage or a ranch, or a Big Sky resort property. I can tell you where to start and how to compare agents.

Agents with a lot of recent sales (U.S. News/HomeLight data):

• Chelsea Stewart (ERA Landmark): 68 sales in the last 12 months, about 99% sale-to-list ratio
• Joy Vance (The Agency Bozeman / Big Sky / Whitefish): 59 sales, about 100% sale-to-list
• Ania Bulis (Stratton Davis Realty): 56 sales, 14 years of experience
• Everdawn Charles (KW Montana Realty): 42 sales, 12 years of experience
• Lona Voigt (Stratton Davis Realty): average of 45 days on market
• Lisa Collins (Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices of Montana): 14 years of experience

Caveat: These listings are marked "Sponsored," so where an agent appears on the list partly reflects advertising, not just quality. Treat it as a list of active agents, not a ranking.

How to pick one:

1. Interview two or three agents and ask how many deals they've closed in your neighborhood and price range in the past year.
2. Ask whether they specialize. Ranch and land deals, new construction and Big Sky condos each call for different expertise.
3. Check reviews on Zillow and Google, and ask for references from recent clients.
4. Check their license with the Montana Board of Realty Regulation.
5. Ask about fees and contract terms up front. Commission practices changed after the 2024 NAR settlement, especially for buyer's agents.

If you tell me whether you're buying or selling, your budget and the area you're interested in, I can help narrow the list.
