Spring in Bozeman and Livingston

In early May, as temperatures warm, the ice melts off and the garage gets switched out. Skis are maintained and stored, and out come the clubs, bikes, canoes and kayaks, and all the footwear to accompany these activities. The mountain bikes stay dormant until later in May or even early June, as environmentally correct locals wait for the miles and miles of trails in the valley to properly dry out.

This month, PollyAnna Snyder, partner and Broker with Engel & Volkers in Bozeman was recognized in the top 10 producing advisors for Engel & Volkers North America. This award is based on the number of transactions (for both buyers and sellers) an advisor in North America closes in a calendar year. To be awarded this recognition from a smaller market like Bozeman is an exceptional accomplishment!
