Tiffany Rietema

Tiffany has been lucky enough to call the Flathead valley home for 17 years and truly believes there is nowhere else like it on earth. From the wonder of Glacier National Park to the crystal-clear lakeshores and snow-covered ski mountains, there is never a shortage of things to enjoy in this spectacular place.

In her professional career, Tiffany has always been fueled by a desire to help others. Her very first job was as a children’s riding instructor. Although she loved the horses, she quickly discovered that her real satisfaction came from seeing the look on the kid’s faces as their dreams became reality. This passion has never changed through managing an insurance agency, working in the medical field, running her own retail business, and volunteering in numerous community organizations.

Real estate is something Tiffany and her husband have pursued since the beginning of their relationship. Date nights often found them walking through open houses and visiting with the agents. Over the years, this evolved into researching tax deed properties and foreclosure sales, buying land, building houses, selling their own spec home, and completing more moves than she cares to count. It was a natural progression to combine this fascination and experience, along with her love of helping others, into a real estate career.

Tiffany has been married to the love of her life for over twenty years. Together, she and her husband are raising three boys whose interests are as varied as their personalities. The last few years took their family away from the mountains to the southern United States as they pursued a business opportunity. It was not long before they felt the powerful pull of going home - back to the beauty, the ruggedness, and most of all the people of the Flathead Valley.

Tiffany is so glad to be back in Montana, but the experience of moving her family across the country twice gave her a first-hand understanding of the challenges faced in a long-distance move. Choosing a house sight unseen, the difficulties of virtual tours, trying to understand the demographics, school districts, and general feel of a place you’ve never lived are all things she relates to. Tiffany is excited to help other families through this process and to share her love and knowledge of this special valley with others.
