CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

WHAT ARE OUR CLIENTS SAYING ABOUT THE PLATINUM TEAM

“ “

The Platinum Team were fantastic! Did a lot of research before showing us homes. Very knowledgeable about the nuances of neighborhoods and the current market. Always available and responsive to our many questions about the home-buying process. Professional and personable office staff. Would highly recommend them!

Jana M. | Bozeman, Montana

“ “

We contacted The Platinum Team out of the blue from Nevada. Their website and the homes they represented were impressive. They replied to my email inquiry almost immediately with a volume of information on the Bozeman area, even recommending restaurants for our initial visit! Via email, we discussed the type of home we hoped to find in Bozeman. During our visit, we viewed homes for 3 days and each property fit our wish list in one way or another. The Platinum Team were invaluable in their advice, knowledge of the different Bozeman neighborhoods, and recommendations as to how we could make improvements, etc. Best of all, they were both a delight to work with and were great in helping us with all the closing details from afar. We are now in our new home and love it. The Platinum Team offers first-class service in so many ways. We highly recommend them.

Moira L. | Nevada, USA

“

The Platinum Team were the perfect team for selling our house. Mike, who has experience as a master builder, was able to walk the buyer through the house, point out its potential and, in the end, clinch the deal. Though selling a house is never worry free, The Platinum Team made the process much more comfortable than we expected. We highly recommend them.
