Kevin and one of our friends and clients recently took an afternoon to go fishing on the Flathead River between Paradise and Perma, Montana. It was an amazing early fall Montana day and the weather was perfect. They caught a few fish and enjoyed being on the river.
For more information about Montana's Flathead River, visit RiverFrontMontana or contact Kevin and Monica Ray of Access Realty at 406-207-1185 or at www.YourMT.com.
Kevin took this photo in one of his favorite areas at the top of a mountain near Pardee Creek in Superior. It overlooks the Lolo National Forest towards the towns of Paradise and Plains, MT.
This area has abundant wildlife, and as you can tell, lots of timber and is a local favorite for recreation, hunting, and I guess picnicking!

I Thought Your Office Would Be Much Larger based on Your Internet Presence
Creating a strong internet presence through the use of websites (with good SEO), blogs (like ActiveRain and ActiveRain Outside Blogs) and posting your listings on other national sites, can help you reach more potential buyers and establish yourself as a local authority in real estate.
We had a buyer/investor from Texas contact us this week when he was in Missoula about looking at investment properties in the area. Kevin spoke to him on the phone several times about what types of properties he was interested in and they agreed to meet at our office.
When our client arrived he said,
"I thought your office would be much larger based on your internet presence. I was expecting you to have an entire two story building or something. When I was searching online, you guys took up the top 10 places on Google for what I was searching."
While we maintain two small offices, we are highly mobile and work mostly on our laptops. Our internet presence and marketing is our priority. We maintain several websites, blogs (including ActiveRain and our Outside Blog), and online ads. As a result, we tend to do very well in the search engines for local real estate terms and often come up before the larger real estate companies in our area.
What we've learned is that
How is your internet presence and how does it help you in real estate?
Speechless Sunday: Hey Good Looking!

My daughter Kelsey took these photos of the Llamas / Alpacas at the Plains Fair that was held last weekend in Plains Montana. I thought it looked like he was whistling at someone. A lot of people in our area have llamas/alpacas with their horses or sheep to help protect them.

Welcome to Our Missoula Montana Real Estate Blog
Missoula Area Real Estate Specialists - Serving Missoula Montana & Surrounding Communities
Serving Missoula, Superior, St. Regis, Alberton, Huson, Tarkio, Deborgia, Lolo, East Missoula, Florence, Corvallis, Hamilton, Saltese, Plains, Paradise, and other Western Montana Communities.
Western Montana, like no other place on earth, captures the heart and enlivens the soul. Its rugged mountains, abundant wildlife, and blue ribbon trout waters become part of you. Missoula Montana Nestled in the Rocky Mountain grandeur of western Montana, Missoula is the hub of five valleys and three major rivers - the Blackfoot, the Bitterroot and the Clark Fork. Roughly halfway between Glacier and Yellowstone national parks, Missoula is a blend of small-town charm and big-city sophistication. One of the first things visitors notice is how friendly people are here. With about 80,000 residents and visitors from around the globe, the city has an increasingly diverse population. On summer Saturdays, Missoulians congregate at the Farmer's Market for fresh produce, coffee and conversation. Year-round, they meet on the recreational trails that run alongside the river through the heart of downtown and past campus. Hiking, bicycling, fly fishing, river rafting and skiing are all big here. Local restaurants serve up everything from steak and potatoes to Thai noodles, while an array of coffeehouses, pubs, nightclubs and movie theaters provide diversion. Residents come from around the region to shop the city's department and discount stores, shopping mall and specialty boutiques. Missoula boasts a thriving downtown. Home to the University of Montana and their National Champion Football Team, the Montana Grizzlies, it's no wonder that the book "How to Get an Ivy League Education at a State University" called Missoula "a Rocky Mountain Berkeley ... the kind of place many people hate to leave." -UMT.edu As John Steinbeck said in Travels With Charlie, "I'm in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love." If you're in love with Montana, Let Kevin & Monica Ray of Access Realty help make your Montana dream come true!

About Kevin and Monica Ray - Access Realty
Monica grew up in a small town in Western Montana and started out at the University of Montana. She moved to Colorado to finish school at Colorado State University. While there, she met her husband, Kevin, and finished her degree, returning to Big Sky Country soon after graduating.
For the ten years prior to becoming a Realtor, Monica worked in business management, marketing, and development for two large companies. This experience taught Monica the value of hard work, good business sense, and the importance of listening to the client. Monica uses this knowledge and experience to help her clients find the home of their dreams, an appropriate investment property, or a place to get away on the weekends. Monica is also an Accredited Home Staging Specialist.
Kevin is a licensed Realtor (R) in the state of Montana and co-owner of Accord Property Management. His background is in sales, IT, and Real Estate. After being born in Alaska then living in Colorado, Texas, and Europe, Kevin finally felt at home while visiting Montana for the first time. Kevin likes to say that He wasn't born in Montana, but He got here as quick as he could.
Kevin attended the University of Montana in Missoula and studied computer science and business, including courses in accounting and business law. He has an extensive background in Real Estate as an investor in rental properties and has nearly 220 hours advanced education in Property Management, Real Estate, and Appraisal. I put my education and experience to work for our clients
Kevin & Monica have a 14 year-old daughter, a dog, a cat and a rabbit. They love living in Montana and recently bought a home on the edge of the Lolo National Forest along a pristine creek with lots of wildlife, including deer, elk, wild turkeys, and even a bear or two! That's the beauty of Montana!
Kevin and Monica Ray also own and manage Accord Property Management, specializing in vacation, residential, and commercial properties.
