A New Standard of Excellence
Our backgrounds and lifestyle make it possible for us to establish a new standard of excellence in the transactions of Platinum Properties. Our focus is on premiere properties…and the results show! We have been the sales agents in over half of the highest-priced residential sales in Gallatin Valley in 2006. We are ranked 16th out of 424 Real Estate Teams in the Nation and ranked 2nd out of 15 in the State of Montana as of November 2007.
The key to any positive sales transaction is to have a finely-tuned understanding of the shifting real estate marketplace in terms of inventory, recent sales and the economic pulse. Our awareness of the existing market allows us to analyze a property with a clear vision for obtaining the maximum price in the shortest time frame. We share a strong sense of the potent power of the visual and know the importance of effectively setting the stage before listing a property. We appreciate the emotional pull a property can – and should – exert. Every property evokes a visceral experience and we are committed to making it a positive one.
Everything we do is with the goal of providing you, our client, with the highest level of service, support and security.
LEARN MORE ABOUT STUART TILT
Since graduating from Duke in 1978, Stuart’s career has focused on communications, sales and marketing, beginning with her work at New York City’s Wells Rich and Greene Advertising. This led to many years in advertising sales for several publishing companies including Cahners Publishing. As an account executive for the noted Ketchum Advertising Agency, Stuart’s clients included the AT&T Bell Companies.
Stuart’s career took a different path while raising her two children in Washington D.C. As the owner of her own interior decorating firm, she successfully facilitated both residential and commercial clients to find their own distinctive visual styles. In 2001, Stuart moved to Bozeman and turned her skills in sales, marketing and interior design in a different direction – real estate. Her background has been instrumental in her success as real estate agent specializing in the high end market.
Always involved in her community, Stuart is currently a member of the board of directors for the Gallatin Valley Land Trust and has served on the Museum Ball Committee for two years and the Heart of the Valley Humane Society Board. She looks forward to continued community service in the area she now calls home. Stuart loves to entertain, fly fish, ski and move to a new “project” house every three years or so all with the help of her husband Whitney.
LEARN MORE ABOUT SALLY UHLMANN
While still a teenager, Sally began designing and creating clothing for performers and major recording artists in her home town of San Francisco. She attended Antioch College before moving to Ibiza, Spain. By the age of 24, Sally had built her own fashion business as the founder and president of Salaminder, a designer clothing company. When she sold Salaminder in 1990, the firm had over 1,200 active retail accounts including the prestigious Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores as well as Harrods’s in London.
During this time, newspapers from around the world did stories on this dynamic young entrepreneur who would roller skate from one end of her factory to the other. Sally “retired” to raise and train 3-Day event horses on her ranch in Kansas. Her interest in this field led directly to her role as one of the three founders of Ariat International, now the leading equestrian boot company in the world. Utilizing her own sales and public relations background as the CEO of a clothing design firm, Sally concentrated on setting up the marketing and product introduction for the Ariat line.
As one of Kansas City’s best-known home chefs, Sally’s passion for cooking established her credentials as a writer and editor; Sally was the food editor of Kansas City Magazine and the entertaining editor for Home Design Magazine for five years. Sally’s wide range of interests has led her to travel all over the world. It was a conference for one of her international projects that first brought her to Bozeman in 2002 and she immediately fell in love with the region and permanently moved her family to Montana the following year.
Sally has served on many civic boards and as an enthusiastic Bozeman resident, she has chaired the Museum of the Rockies Wine Classic for 2006 and 2007. The 2006 Wine Classic was the most financially successful gala in the history of Montana. Sally is very happily married with three children she adores. Sally loves to cook, garden, and literally trek the world, having covered a chunk of the Himalayas. She loves to design and build luxury houses, and is an active investor in Gallatin Valley real estate.
