47.5053° N 111.3008° W · Cascade County, Montana
We broker, manage and value commercial property across Cascade County — and we publish what we learn doing it, so owners and investors can see this market clearly before they commit to it.
What we do
Most deals in a market this size involve people who already know each other. We work all three seats — and we're straight about which one we're in.
Owners & landlords
Pricing built from real comparables, not a guess and a round number. We market the space, qualify the interest, and negotiate terms that hold up after the lease is signed.
Tenants & buyers
The right building is often the one that never hits a listing site. We know what's quietly available, what an owner will actually take, and where the operating costs are hiding.
Investors
Cash flow modeled line by line, 1031 exchange timelines mapped against real inventory, and a candid read on whether a deal pencils in this market or only somewhere else.
Market intelligence
Great Falls is small enough that the national data providers skip it and large enough that the decisions here are real money. Every quarter we publish what we see: lease rates by submarket, sale comparables, vacancy, and what's actually trading.
The problem
Montana doesn't make sale prices public record, and a great deal of commercial property here never gets listed at all. National estimate tools see neither, so in Great Falls they're guessing.
MLS data, county and city records, and every deal this office has touched, combined. Our off-market commercial database is larger than what the MLS holds for this market.
