“The SLC approach to our journey was unique among the various brokers we met during the process.  Their approach was about us and our needs, not a transaction fee.  Kissing a few frogs was embraced in order to find the right ranch. Having bought and sold several properties, my radar was on alert for brokers who seemed to emphasize a transaction versus our needs.  That can lead to round pegs and square holes.  With SLC, the approach was just the opposite.  And, we trusted them to expose the good, the bad, and the ugly on potential ranches that fit the bill, but needed to be evaluated on all dimensions, not just at a high-level fit or price/value.”

“Mike sold me my first ranch and was very professional.  He prepared a due diligence doc that was excellent, and very informative. Then I went to visit the Ox Bow Ranch with him and saw the same degree of focus and commitment to the buyer.  I have not considered using anyone else since. You will work with a thoughtful gentleman who will take your interests to heart.”

“Over the past decade we have acquired approximately 25,000 acres of ranch land in Montana. We have been represented in each transaction by Scott Williams of Swan Land Company. They are knowledgeable, thorough and honest.”

Montana Ranch

“My husband and I found Swan Land Company – Tim Anderson in particular – in 2015 after doing a lot of research online.  We were from out of state and wanted to find a place in or around Bozeman.   Even online we could tell that Tim Anderson was something special: knowledgeable, smart, a wonderful communicator, and genuinely appealing, he was immediately responsive and helpful.  Tim got to know us, took all the time we needed, and was a pleasure, not only to work with, but to get to know.   He found us our perfect place, and the ensuing transactions were smooth and completely painless.  We subsequently did other transactions with Tim and Swan Land, all of which were expertly handled.   With Tim there is no hype, no pressure, and no meeting without his warm wit, ever present smile, and a fly-fishing story if you want one!    There is nobody better.”

“I spent a couple of years looking at land in several states while traveling to/from an annual elk hunt NW of Bozeman.  Through that process I spent hours in trucks with various brokers from leading brokerages in Montana and Wyoming as we toured their listings.  In 2013 Mike and I met on the phone and had a couple of great conversations.  We really drilled into what we were looking for in a ranch.  Mike helped reinforce many of our goals, but also added important context that we hadn’t fully considered.  The discussions and subsequent field trips were grounded in what Mike perceived in our best interests, not SLC listings.  After a year of conversations and several trips to visit properties, none of which were SLC listings, a new ranch had just hit the market - a SLC listing.  It was the first we visited and it was the ranch we purchased and have lived at for the past 8 years.”

Buyer

Montana Ranch

“We found Swan Land Company, and Tim Anderson, looking for properties in Montana across numerous websites.  Tim was the listing agent for the property we were initially interested.  In true Tim Anderson fashion, he lined up a whole series of properties he wanted us to see; making sure we made the right decision for us.  We did not purchase his listing, but found a great property for our desires and lifestyle.  From search to closing, Tim was a true gentleman and professional.  In fact, when we decided to purchase a second property in Montana, there was no question Tim was the broker to lead our search.  Tim is a born and bred Montana man; a great outdoorsman; a diligent agent that has traveled more miles, on back roads, than most others.  We would not think of engaging in a real estate transaction in Montana without Tim leading our team.”

“Mike and Tim are incredibly easy to work with and a pleasure to hang out with during long days in the fields, which there may/should be many.  They are both professionals in their approach to the process, beginning to end.  And, their knowledge of the key aspects to buying and selling properties is as good as I have experienced.  They listen to your needs, are willing to put in the miles, and don’t waste your (or theirs) time when they know firsthand that something on the Internet isn’t a fit.”

Buyer & Seller

Of Several Montana Ranches  

“The minute I expressed interest in investing in real estate in Montana to good friends, I was recommended to call on Tim Anderson. My friends said I would not find anyone more knowledgeable of not only Bozeman but the whole state of Montana. They had been very satisfied working with Tim on their own purchase of a dream home in Bozeman. The main factor that sold me on working with Swan Land Company was meeting Tim at my friend's home. I felt he was very knowledgeable of the market and wise to what I was looking for and what I had to offer. My overall experience with Swan Land Company was top-notch. I remember being a little edgy about the process of using a 1031 exchange, but that procedure all fell into its proper place. I won’t hesitate to recommend Tim Anderson and Swan Land Company to anyone looking for real estate in the great Northwest. I may lean on Tim for the whereabouts of a good fishing hole.”
