John Hayes - Realtor REALTOR® with PureWest Christie’s International Real Estate in Montana. Specialize in STR Investments. I'd love you help you with your real estate needs.

After years nearly 12 years of moving around the continent with the Air Force I've finally settled down. My experience buying, selling, leasing, or renting homes led me to a career in real estate. Since returning to Central Texas I've worked on real estate development projects, home building, and remodeling. I work with both buyers and sellers to strive to provide personal care to each client.

Congratulations to this wonderful young couple on their new home at 1 Sweet Water Lane!

Thrilled to have represented the buyers on the purchase of this thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom home in a quiet, well-kept Whitefish neighborhood. Set on a corner lot, it offers everyday comfort with room to grow—exactly what they were looking for as a place to gather with friends and family.

The open main level is filled with natural light and anchored by a stone fireplace, with stainless appliances, a large center island, and a generous pantry that make it ideal for entertaining. A main-level primary suite, flexible office/nursery space, and three upstairs bedrooms provide great separation and functionality. Outside, the covered porch and fenced yard are perfect for relaxed get-togethers, while the HOA handles lawn care and snow removal and provides Whitefish River access. It’s walkable to shopping and grocery, near bike paths, and within a mile of downtown Whitefish—great for the lock-and-leave lifestyle they wanted.

Congratulations again! Excited to see this become their gathering place in Whitefish for years to come.

Congratulations to a wonder client on her new income-producing short-term rental in The Quarry!

Excited to have represented Gail on the purchase of this exceptional 3-bed, 3.5-bath mountain-modern home in one of Whitefish’s most sought-after communities. Situated on a corner lot in the most private section of The Quarry, it offers one of the larger private grass areas, unobstructed mountain views, and a genuine private back patio with firepit—perfect for both guest experiences and family time.

The thoughtfully converted garage now serves as a heated/cooled flex space with its own sliding glass door, giving strong upside for short-term rental income while still providing flexibility for extra guests. Steps from the Snow Bus, minutes to downtown Whitefish, and about 10 minutes to Whitefish Mountain Resort, it’s ideally positioned for ski season and year-round demand. Owners and guests also enjoy the community’s resort-style amenities, including the pool, hot tub, fitness center, steam room, and clubhouse.

I’m genuinely excited to watch this property perform exceptionally well as a high-quality STR while serving as a reliable gathering place for Gail’s family for ski vacations every year. Congratulations again, Gail—welcome to the Whitefish lifestyle!
