About Us

We started BozemanByOwner.com after buying our own home in Bozeman, Montana from a seller with an “FSBO” ad in the paper. We’ve found that like her, many homeowners would prefer to sell their homes on their own, without a real estate agent. And like us, many buyers would like to find out about all the available properties in their area, not just the ones that their agent makes the largest commission on. bozemanbyowner.com is designed to assist sellers in marketing their property, and buyers in finding the perfect one.

With property prices rising rapidly in the Gallatin Valley, the average real estate agent commission is rising as well. Currently, the average price for a single family home in Bozeman is about $310,000. A 6% commission on this home would be over $18,000! Eliminating this commission gives sellers more flexibility when negotiating the sale of their home, and gives buyers the opportunity to stretch their buying dollar. It’s a win-win for everyone!
