Dear Clients and Friends,
At PureWest, our success begins with the trust of our clients. I’m proud to share that we’ve once again earned national recognition—made possible by the remarkable communities we serve in Montana and Idaho.
RealTrends Verified, the industry’s most authoritative and independently audited ranking of top U.S. real estate firms, has once again named PureWest as the #1 brokerage in Montana—marking our sixth consecutive year at the top. This continued recognition reflects not only our market leadership but also the strength of our statewide presence, deep local expertise, and the trust we’ve cultivated.
Building on our continued success in Montana, PureWest has firmly established a powerful presence in North Idaho. Last year, we opened our second office in Sandpoint, a step that shows our commitment to thoughtful growth and strategic expansion in the region. This momentum is reflected in our performance, with sales volume up nearly 60% in 2025.
In the 2026 RealTrends Verified Awards, PureWest was recognized with the following honors:
- #1 in Montana by residential sales volume
- #191 in the Nation, climbing 47 spots in the rankings–an almost 20% jump year over year.
- Ranked #94 among privately-owned independent brokerages
- Billionaires’ Club | Recognizing brokerages exceeding $1 billion in annual sales volume
Alongside our RealTrends Verified distinction, PureWest has secured placement in two other prestigious national evaluations: RISMedia’s 38th Annual Power Broker Report and T3 Sixty’s 2026 Mega 1000.
What does this mean for you? In a market that continues to evolve, these rankings translate into smarter strategy, stronger positioning, and better outcomes, whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring your options.
At PureWest, recognition isn’t the goal. It’s the result of consistently delivering a higher level of service. If you’re considering a move this spring, I'm here to help you navigate it with clarity and confidence.
