At Dye, Tavary and Judge Real Estate we go above and beyond for our clients

We know how stressful buying and selling a home can be, and we are there every step of the way to ease that stress. We go above and beyond for our clients, because we wouldn’t be in business without you.

A client of ours who was selling their home had their garage windows vandalized. We wanted to go above and beyond for them, so we hired someone to board up the windows for the seller. That’s the kind of company we are. We’re a family, and we want to help our clients whenever they need it.

Leanne

As a fifth-generation Hi-Liner with deep roots in Montana, I bring a lifelong connection to the communities, people, and values that make this region such a special place to call home. Growing up in the Hi-Line taught me the importance of hard work, integrity, and building lasting relationships—qualities that guide me every day in my real estate career.

Before becoming a real estate agent, I spent many years as an educator, helping students and families achieve their goals. My experience as a teacher strengthened my communication skills, attention to detail, patience, and commitment to serving others. I understand that buying or selling a home is one of life’s most important decisions, and I take pride in educating and guiding my clients through every step of the process.

As a new real estate professional, I combine fresh energy, strong local knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping people find the right place to call home. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, looking to sell, or searching for your next investment, I am dedicated to providing personalized service, honest advice, and a positive experience from start to finish.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with family, supporting local communities, and appreciating everything Montana has to offer. I look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals and welcoming you home.
