Kari is more than a seasoned real estate advisor—she’s a lifelong student of the industry and a hands-on participant in shaping the communities she serves. Raised on construction sites and immersed in the business from a young age, Kari’s real estate journey has spanned every angle: construction, lending, development, and now, top-tier representation through Engel & Völkers Bozeman.

Before stepping into real estate sales, Kari built a successful career as a mortgage lender, closing over 600 transactions and earning multiple top producer awards. Her lending background now serves as an advantage for her clients—particularly those navigating complex financial structures or investment opportunities.

Since relocating to Bozeman in 2015, Kari has been actively involved in land acquisition, multifamily and single-family construction, and subdivision development. Today, she continues to collaborate on several active residential and mixed-use projects, bringing firsthand insight to buyers, builders, and investors alike.

But real estate is just part of her story. Kari is passionate about creating a life well lived. Off the clock, you’ll likely find her with a good book in hand, exploring a new destination, on the golf course, or hiking with her dogs. Her love for Montana’s pace, people, and wild spaces is what inspires her work—and what makes her such a trusted guide for those looking to put down roots here.

Mara is a Montana State University Business Management Certification student from Golden, Colorado. Growing up surrounded by the Rockies before moving to Bozeman, her interest in real estate grew naturally out of a deep love for moutain living and vibrant local communities. Fascinated by how local markets evolve, she combines a keen eye for visual design with strong organizational skills to showcase properties and deliver a seamless experience for clients. Mara thrives on creating compelling marketing content and building authentic relationships, ensuring every step of the real estate journey feels personal, engaging, and exciting.

When Mara isn't working, you'll usually find her staying moving. Whether that's fishing, walking new paths, working out, or exploring new mountain spots. On quieter days, she loves finding new coffee spots, discovering local markets, and unwinding with friends and her significant other. And if a dog passes by? You can bet she's stopping to say hi and give it a pet.
