Lake Homes Realty, the nation\u2019s largest full-service brokerage devoted to niche waterfront properties, today announced the debut of Mountain Homes Realty<\/strong>, a new, stand-alone brokerage serving buyers and sellers of mountain homes across 21 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand\u2019s digital hub, MountainHomesRealty.com<\/strong><\/a>, is now live and features more than $100 billion in available property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAcross all our specialty brands we\u2019ve learned how to connect local and out-of-state buyers with unique lifestyle properties,\u201d said Glenn S. Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Lake Homes Realty<\/strong>. \u201cThe purchaser of a mountain home may live hundreds of miles away and scan listings in several states at once. We make that search – and the seller\u2019s exposure to those distant buyers – dramatically easier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Homes Realty pioneered a category-first approach to niche markets, beginning with lake property. This brokerage brand now operates in 40 states, capturing millions of visitors nationwide through its website LakeHomes.com<\/a> while delivering hyper-local expertise through licensed agents who live and work in the markets they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, the firm launched Beach Homes Realty – <\/strong>currently active in 16 coastal states at Beach-Homes.com<\/a> –<\/strong> mirroring its lakefront model in beach communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defining a \u201cMountain Home\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Identifying waterfront property is straightforward: shoreline, water access, water views or a water-centric community. Mountain real estate, Phillips noted, has lacked that clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo brokerage has ever really defined what constitutes a mountain home. It can mean many different things to different people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, we chose to set the standard. A property qualifies if it sits at elevation, enjoys a mountain or ridgeline view, lies within a community shaped by the mountains, or if proximity to elevated terrain clearly increases its value. Think of Whitefish, Montana – homes in the flat valley still command premiums because ski slopes and alpine trails are minutes away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognize people will view mountain real estate differently from region to region. We will continue to update and refine MountainHomesRealty.com to help more and more buyers and sellers with their dream mountain lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
