Service Centered Real Estate

Ron Miller

Think service! When you work with a Jackson Hole Real Estate Brokerage, the agents top priority should be service to the customer. I encourage all agents to listen carefully to what the buyer or seller is saying to them and talk less if possible during any showing. When  a customer decides to buy or sell a property in the Jackson Hole Real Estate market, a good Realtor servant realizes that the experience of the showing or listing appointment is a primary focus for the person and not what the realtors opinion is about each property. Of course if there is a material defect or economic obsolescence with a particular property I recommend to always advise the buyer what is know or observed. A good Jackson Hole Real Estate Broker with a realistic attitude and good common sense is often other centered toward the customer.

I once worked with a Realtor attending an open house in another part of the country that did not listen to me when I was interested in the property an associate in her office had listed. I told her the price and terms I wanted to offer and got a blank look like I was crazy. As an experienced broker and buyer working in the Jackson Hole Real Estate market I fully understood the proper value of this property and most of the inherent risks associated with this higher end resort investment I was interested in. I usually shop for properties that are fairly unique and many times need some work or the property is distressed in some way. I usually look in high end neighborhoods for the diamond in the rough. My specialty is fixer uppers and this lady was sitting in this old dated condominium in a fantastic rental area of a nice resort area that I knew was popular. The property needed a lot of work and was over priced.

The Realtor totally discouraged me from making my generous offer on the property she represented in an open house. The offer was a bit low and she said it was a waste of her time. She advised me simply not to put in my offer in writing and wanted to show me properties listed much higher than my budget. She sent me listings via e-mail for 2 more weeks for millions more than I wanted to spend for some reason. Unbelievable!! I think she just needed a bigger commission or just did not have a servant heart with my interests in mind or the sellers best interest. I had a hunch the seller had no need for this particular unit by the shape it was in and probably needed out.

I did eventually buy that property but had to go to another brokerage to put in an offer and get the deal done. I found a great Realtor who was very motivated to write up my offer for me to purchase the property I liked. The moral of the story is the good Real Estate servant got the job done and it was a great experience after all and I got a great investment property. We fixed it up and got good rentals and sold it a few years later for a nice profit.

  Winter Wildlife Watching

Jackson Hole is known for its amazing scenery rich with wildlife, but the deep winter snow pushes many animals farther down from the mountains making them abundant and easy to spot.

National Elk Refuge

Every winter thousands of elk call Jackson Hole home, and one of the easiest and most unique ways to get up close and personal to these elk, is to take a sleigh ride out onto the Refuge. Pick up your tickets and bus at the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center on North Cache. You will arrive at the refuge and board a horse drawn sleigh that will get you closer than you can imagine to these amazing animals, while a knowledgeable guide will get you acquainted with the animals that call the refuge home. Learn more about the sleigh ride here.

After you return from your sleigh ride, drive over to the Elk Refuge Road, off of West Broadway, on the east side of the refuge to find Big Horn Sheep making their winter home on Miller Butte. If you are lucky, they will be feeding near the road, or they might even come over to lick the salt off of your car. Antelope, Buffalo, Deer, wolves, coyotes, and mountain lions also call the refuge home so take your binoculars and scan the hills. Find a map here.

Another easily accessible trip is driving US 26 South from Jackson and turning West at Hoback junction, you will travel the scenic snake river canyon, but keep your eyes open for the camouflaged Mountain Goats blending into the snowy hillsides. Mountain Goats are non-native to Wyoming, but were introduced into Idaho for hunting purposes, and  eventually migrated to the snake river canyon. Drive carefully as they are often  right next to the road.

Wildlife Tour

Snowmobile or Dog Sled to Granite Hot Springs

In the deep of winter, nothing feels better than a long soak in a 104 degree natural hot springs surrounded by  an idyllic winter scene of fluffy snow piled high on boulders and steam rising from the hot water. In the summer, Granite Hot Springs is accessible by road, but in the winter access is limited to snowmobile, dog sled, or for the fitness enthusiast,  a 10 mile  one way cross country ski.

This hot springs is not like most modern built up pools, hidden in the Gros Ventre (grow vaunt) Mountains, this pool was constructed in the 1930’s by the Civilian Conservation Corp and is still rustic with only  a small cabin fitted with changing rooms and no electricity or running water.

The trail to the hot springs is suitable for novice to intermediate snowmobile riders, but I would recommend going with a tour if you are not familiar with the area, or new to snowmobiling.  The ride in is around 45 minutes by snowmobile, around 1.5-2 hours by dog sled, and 2+ hours by ski.

The snowmobile  tours consist of a half or full day adventure,  pick up and drop off in town, basic snowmobiling instruction, snowmobile gear (suit, helmet, gloves, and boots) as well as a snack with a half day,  or  lunch with the full day tour.  Check out Togwotee Adventures for their snowmobile tour options.

Dog Sled Tours Consist of  pick up and drop off in town, a team of Alaskan sled dogs and an experienced musher  leading your sled on a full or half day tour with hot soup and beverages to keep you warm. Contact Jackson Hole Iditarod Sled Dog Tours for more information.

If you are planning an independent trip to Granite check the weather conditions and give the hot springs a quick call at (307) 690-7284 to make sure they are open. The cost for entrance is $6 for adults and $4 for children. Remember to bring your swim suit and a towel- and some dry clothes to change into after your swim! And try not to get your hair wet, it can make for a frosty ride home!

This beautiful two bedroom, 2 bath, top floor, Teton Village condo is move in ready and completely furnished. Located less than a five minute walk to the Moose Creek chair lift. View Sleeping Indian from your deck or Jackson Hole Mountain Resort from your master bedroom.
