"I absolutely loved working with Chay! She is knowledgeable about the market and Missoula, she fought for us as her clients, and she knows her stuff when it came to the contracts. She was able to include an extra clause in our bid that got us our house at the end of the day. She’s honest, hard-working and a great communicator. I recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor!"
