Doug Schlender-Sales Associate
Glen & Bozeman, MT
Growing up in the midwest, outdoor recreation in the form of hiking, fishing, boating and hunting has always been a passion and guiding principle of Doug’s idea of living. In that love for all things outdoors, he developed a great affinity for good land in beautiful places, especially in the mountain west. Doug wasn’t born here, but “I got here as quick as I could.”
Doug moved his family to SW Montana in 1986 to take a job building musical instruments, i.e. guitars and mandolins. The needs of a growing family necessitated starting a home construction company, and Doug has nearly 40 years of experience in construction trades and general contracting, building numerous timber frame homes in SW Montana. Doug has bought several remote, undeveloped ranches in Montana and transformed them into beautiful places to live. Therefore, he has extensive experience developing remote properties from the very start of the process through completion of homes and out buildings in the timber frame tradition.
That experience has led to a thorough understanding of why and how people can turn their dreams of owning and developing beautiful places into a thing of great value and substance. Doug understands your vision very well and can help you get there, whether it’s buying a cattle ranch, horse property, game range, small recreational property, or a house in town.
It’s your home, and helping you realize your dream is Doug’s highest priority.
