Welcome to Missoula Real Estate Meetup
The Missoula Real Estate Meetup has three main goals:
1. Learn more about the Missoula Market
2. Make authentic connections
3. Share strategies and information
As always, there will be no selling of any products or services, and it's always free to attend.
We meet the third Tuesday of every month at the Highlander, at 6:00 PM. We usually have 20-30 attendees.
If you're interested, enter your email below, and we'll send you an invite.
Upcoming Speakers
We always start with a guest speaker that has been recommended by a member as an experienced and connected member of the Missoula Real Estate industry (Ex. property manager, developer, agent, title insurance, lawyer, home insurance, etc.). There is usually between 15-30 minutes of a presentation, then some question and answer time. We spend the rest of the time making friends, drinking beer, discussing deals, and potential partnerships. Our upcoming speakers are below:

I'm a former Middle School Teacher and 5th generation Montanan, and was born and raised in Missoula. I am passionate about building more housing for Missoula in a sustainable way to solve our housing crisis. I'm sharing what I'm doing openly so that more Missoulians can housing, and we can together solve this housing crisis in a sustainable way and build a walkable, bike-able Missoula.
I sincerely believe that converting garages to ADUs and building backyard townhouses is a potential solution to the Missoula housing crisis, because the core issue we have is low supply and high demand. By increasing the supply of housing, the demand will fall, and the rent increases that we are seeing will slow.
I donate more than 5 percent of my income to causes that improve the health of children, pregnant mothers, and families in low income communities. I am increasing my charitable contributions by 1% every year after that.
