Everything I wish every client knew first.

Two guides, written for this market specifically. No national filler and no recycled checklists. Just how buying and selling work in the Black Hills, and what I do differently.

Black Hills Short-Term Rental Guide, Town by Town

Rental rules change at the city line here, and in two towns the right to rent ends the day the property sells. The town by town picture for investors.

South Dakota Property Taxes, Explained for Black Hills Buyers

No state income tax, assessments at market value, and one classification you must apply for after you buy. That last step is the one buyers miss most.

Radon in the Black Hills: Buyer and Seller Guide

Granite geology puts these counties in the EPA's highest radon potential zone, so elevated tests are common. A high number is a negotiation item.

For sellers

The Black Hills Seller's Guide

What I do before a home goes live, how I price against real closings, and the marketing that separates a strong sale from a slow one.

What is inside

  • How I price a home against the last 90 days of closings
  • The prep list that returns the most per dollar
  • My photography, video and launch plan, week by week
  • Showings, feedback and when a price change is the right call
  • Offers, inspection negotiation and the path to closing

Run a payment before you tour anything.

My mortgage calculator includes property tax, insurance and HOA lines, because a payment without those three is not a real number in this market.
