John Hayes at PureWest Real Estate was the best decision we made in our search for the perfect piece of land in Kalispell, MT! We recently purchased a stunning 10-acre parcel with Whitefish River frontage, incredible mountain views (Teakettle, Whitefish Mountain Ski Area, and the Columbia Range), and that rare combination of seclusion and convenience just minutes from Glacier National Park, the airport, and Kalispell/Whitefish amenities. John's expertise in Montana land purchases truly stood out. He guided us every step of the way through the complexities of buying vacant land in the Flathead Valley— from understanding DEQ approvals for a 4-bedroom home plus ADU, to navigating zoning, access (that new gravel road and cul-de-sac location is perfect), and all the details that make or break a deal like this. His local knowledge of the area is unmatched; he knew exactly what to look for in riverfront properties and helped us see the long-term potential for building our dream home. What we appreciated most: John's responsiveness (always quick to answer questions, even on evenings/weekends), his patience with our out-of-area status, transparent communication, and strong negotiation skills that got us a great outcome. He made what could have been a stressful process exciting and straightforward—no pressure, just genuine expertise and care. If you're looking for a top Kalispell MT realtor or Whitefish area land specialist who specializes in Montana properties, investment land, or building sites with views and river access—John Hayes is the one. Highly recommend PureWest Real Estate and John for your next Montana land purchase. We couldn't be happier with our slice of paradise!
