Regularly in the top North American skiing and North America snowboarding rankings, Big Sky Resort in Big Sky, Montana has claimed the number 9 spot on Skinet's Top Ten Resorts for Challenging Terrain: 2008-2009. 
Big Sky Resort is often considered one of America's top ten ski resorts in some category, be it challenging terrain, or simply BEST ski resort. The Big Sky Ski Resort has modern lifts to transport skiers and snowboarders up the slopes of regal Lone Mountain, Andesite Mountain, and Flat Iron Mountain, dropping skiers and snowboarders off for 4,350 vertical feet of down.
Big Sky, Montana, once a highly seasonal, "company town" is now a year-round, small-town, recreational destination town, home to more than 1250 residents, over 350 Chamber members, and four ski resorts.
Big Sky's small-town, big-time skiing atmosphere is great for hard-core and family snowboarding and skiing. Only 45 miles from Bozeman, Montana, it's an easy drive from Gallatin Airport to the slopes.

TESTIMONIALS TO TAUNYA FAGAN, BOZEMAN REALTOR
May 26, 2009
Dear Taunya –
Thank you so much for all the hard work on our behalf. We had been looking to buy property in Bozeman for years and when the opportunity came in 2009, we jumped on it. We had no real estate contacts in Bozeman and we found you by simply researching agents on line. We decided to start working with you because your website was so well organized and informative. Your website was also one of the few to offer all the info on the property without first requiring us to provide you “with our personal information and email”. I found your approach very refreshing. Once we got to know you, you lived up to our highest expectations. Your efforts on our behalf were limitless. You are also one of the most informed agents we have ever met. You obviously do your homework and stay involved on all levels in the Bozeman community. Over time, everyone we met had nothing but the highest praise for your approach and honesty. Our experience with you matched your reputation in the area. We ended up buying 2 properties in the Bozeman from you in early 2009, one great new house and one separate piece of beautiful land. Both are perfect. We are very excited to finally be part of the Bozeman community. Thank you for helping us on so many levels. Good luck in everything you do! Adam and Jodi Leiter, Bozeman, MT

Dear Taunya,We are so grateful for your expertise, amazing help, and professional efficiency!!!!! Thank you. From the first moment we saw your informative, accurate, and attractive web site presentations of your offerings, to the dot on the last "i" of the final document, your attention to detail and kind and patient interaction with everyone was so amazing and admirable. We've closed on numerous properties and never, not even close, have we ever had such a pleasant experience. It can all be attributed to you! Thank you.
Walt and Juli Johnson, Bozeman, MT

We recently had a major move out of the Bozeman area to north western Washington State. My husband took a position with a company there and had to leave immediately. I was a bit concerned about being left with a 2yr old and trying to get my house sold quickly so that we could all be together. I interviewed several agents that seemed relatively competent but they all had to get back with me, check on prices and think about how best to market the house. There also seemed to be the gloomy warning of slowing house sales at this time of the year (late September).
When Taunya showed up I knew immediately that she would be the agent for us. She came with comparable market value comps in hand, she had her camera ready to take pictures and list that day, she had a marketing plan that included internet, newspaper, and television ads, at no additional charge to her standard commission. I was so impressed I agreed to sign with her on the spot. She was very helpful in coming up with a fair price that would have our house sold quickly but still assure us a great profit.
Taunya began work immediately and kept her word and all her promises for her advertising package. She then wasted no time in setting up an open house only days after the listing was posted and did not one, but two full days in a row, on the first weekend of the listing. Both days went very well, but at the end of the second day as she was packing up to leave a single man drove up on his motorcycle and asked if she would show him around. Even though she was ready to go, Taunya cheerfully agreed. He seemed like an unlikely buyer for such a large family home, and she had been told by many a nay sayer that "no one every sells houses to buyers at open houses." He bought it!
Taunya spent her time making sure that we were set up with an agent in our new home and even followed up with finding a fantastic lender who worked extremely hard to make our experience buying our new home here as easy as possible. We cannot say enough about the integrity and professionalism that Taunya displayed in a world where you don't often see that kind of work ethic anymore. We truly felt blessed! We would urge anyone in the Bozeman area to use Taunya as their agent if they truly want the best. And we wish her continued success and prosperity in the future.
Sincerely, Jeff & Terri

Dear Taunya,
Wanting to enter the Bozeman Real Estate market, we purchased our first condo through you in 2003. You found us a new condo in a lovely development with beautiful views, and we were tremendously pleased with the quick, smooth closing of the purchasing transaction.
Two years later, you found us our dream home, and once again we had the opportunity of working with you in the listing of our condo. Your listing services went above and beyond that which is normal.
You artfully and professionally staged the condo, designed beautiful flyers, held well advertised weekly open houses with detailed follow-up with potential buyers. You marketed our property on the internet, television, and in local and national newspapers. You kept us informed of the activity you were having on the condo. It all worked to procure a "top dollar" sale shortly after listing the property which allowed us to purchase our dream home which you found for us. You helped us find a lender and worked with us on a day to day basis to insure quick, smooth closings on both the selling and purchasing transactions.
Your tireless effort and positive attitude, your responsible approach and skillful negotiation, backed by your exceptional real estate knowledge, helped us achieve our dream. We want to tell you how impressed we were with your work ethic and devotion to us as your clients and thank you. You truly are in an elite category of real estate agents.
Sincerely, George and Joyce, Bozeman, MT
