Welcome to Vigilante Property Management!  As a Montana native, and a seasoned property management professional, I recognize and value the trust my clients place in me and I strive every day to exceed their expectations.  Providing quality customer service to build relationships with clients and more importantly, maintain those relationships by communicating effectively is paramount.  Prior to entering the field of property management, I worked as a professional ski instructor for 20 years, mortgage lender, commercial portfolio manager, and residential painter.  These experiences instilled in me strong communication skills, financial knowledge, and a drive to help people. Outside of property management, I enjoy skiing, road biking, camping, hiking, and cooking.  I look forward to sharing my intimate knowledge of Montana to help you find a home, manage your property, or assist in you HOA/COA management needs.

History of Vigilantes in MT:

Vigilantes are an often revered part of Montana’s history. As a son of a Montana history teacher, I grew up hearing tales are told in elementary, middle-school, and high-school about “vigilante justice” that was nothing if not swift. The Vigilantes were the first organized law enforcement in Montana. The Montana Highway Patrol has  adopted the  early symbol of 3-7-77, honors the first men in the Montana Territory who organized for the safety and welfare of the people. For that same reason, the Association of Montana Troopers has carried on that tradition by placing the legendary 3-7-77 on their patch as well.  As Montanan, I appreciate our state's history and am excited to keep the name going into the future.
