I don’t know that I have ever encountered a realtor and broker that exhibits the passion that Shelby does when it comes to matching property with the customer. She truly cares her customers and their home and business dreams.

Our experience with Michael Hodges as our realtor was exceptional. We have used many realtors in the past and this was the only time we felt really taken care of. Mike made us feel like family and always put our best interest first. He never made it about him even though he really worked hard and had to be patient. We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to have a great Real Estate experience. He is honest, professional and above all the nicest most genuine guy you will ever meet!! Thank you MIke for working so hard for us!!

Mike Hodges is amazing and went above and beyond to get us the best house at the best price and he promptly took care of anything that came up. Throughout the entire deal, we felt Mike had our back and represented us with professionalism. We made our move from AZ to MT and it never felt like Mike was far away. If you are looking for someone in your corner as you find the house of your dreams, Mike is your guy!

Jill is fantastic! We were getting discouraged in our search for land and had some frustrating experiences with realtors. Then a family member recomened Jill. She changed the entire process for us and made looking for property fun again. But not only that - she went above and beyond for us on several occasions. She was willing change personal plans to schedule showings for us - stayed up late to get offers in as quick a possible and always did her homework on the properties we looked at and found comparable homes or land for us to see that ensured we were getting exactly what we wanted. We looked

Westward Bound Real Estate and in particular Shelby Nash Hunter and her associate Mike Hodges worked very hard getting our home exposure to the market and guiding us through the selling process. Their commitment to us was so strong we consider them family. If you want commitment, knowledge, passion and confidence in your realtor you only have to make one call.

Jill Rae worked with us on finding our forever dream home. She went above and beyond to help where ever she could. Selling and buying a home can at times be stressful for all involved but Jill gave us the peace of mind everything would turn out for the best! She makes your homebuying experience a joy and fun. It's not about a quick sale or purchase with Jill. She wants to make sure you find the right fit for your needs. Even if it takes 20 houses. Jill went the extra mile for us MANY times. I can't express enough how grateful we are to have worked with her! We will definitely use Jill Rae with

I have had the pleasure to work with Westward Bound Real Estate with buyers and on transactions where they were the listing office. Both Charles Lapp and Shelby Nash-Hunter are true professionals with very high integrity.
