ABOUT MIA After working as an assistant in a Colorado real estate office , Mia needed no encouragement to join the world of real estate when she moved to Big Sky in 2011 . Mia was educated in the UK where she graduated from The University of Leeds with a degree in music . During her university years , she was the lead singer of a UK-based Funk band called Maji . After graduation , Mia chased the endless winter as a snowsports professional , specializing in teaching snowboarding and adaptive snow sports in New Zealand , Australia , France , Canada and the U . S .
Besides working as a real estate agent , Mia serves on the boards for the Arts Council of Big Sky and Women In Action , is an active member of the Big Sky Rotary Club and also volunteers at the Big Sky Food Bank and for Eagle Mount ’ s adaptive ski program .
Along with her husband Derek , and her two dogs , River and Banksy , Mia calls Big Sky home and she is committed to providing every client with the attention that they want and deserve .

Favorite spot in Big Sky ?
Standing at the top of Lone Peak during summer or winter and soaking in the pristine views of Big Sky ’ s backyard ( and hopefully spotting a Mountain Goat !).
What does the Big Sky community mean to you ?
Being an active member of the community helps me to gain a unique perspective on Big Sky . Our growing mountain town is a fantastic collaboration of like-minded people who all see and believe in what Big Sky is and what it will become . We are a happy community and the more we can offer to people , the more successful our Montana mountain town will be .
ABOUT ALLEN Raised in a small coastal town in New England , Allen always assumed that was where he would stay , never imagining he would abandon his beloved ocean to move west , of all places . However , after a deployment with the Marine Corps in 2005 , Allen came to visit Big Sky . He immediately fell in love with the dramatic views of the magnificent northern Rockies , the clear mountain rivers , the fresh , crisp mountain air , and the vast open spaces . After completing his commitment to the Marines , Allen went on to earn his bachelor ’ s degree at Babson College , and then pursued his career as a commercial real estate broker in Boston . Then in 2015 , as luck would have it , he found a way to return to the place he had fallen in love with ten years earlier , this time to sell real estate .
Allen is now happily settled in Big Sky with his wife , three dogs , and a baby on the way ! He could not imagine living anywhere else , and is eager to share this unique and amazing place with others . Allen loves connecting with his clients on a personal level and works hard to understand their real estate goals , in order to provide them with a completely custom experience in the place that he loves so much .
Describe your ideal day or your favorite things to do in Big Sky .
Because the skiing here is so great , a lot of people forget how beautiful the summers are . My idea of a perfect day in Big Sky would include one of the many great hikes available close by , with my wife and dog in the morning , followed by fly fishing the Gallatin in the afternoon , and then dinner in Town Center or at the River House in the evening .
What does the Big Sky community mean to you ?
As a relatively new member of this community , expecting our first baby in March , my wife and I see Big Sky as the place we will be raising our family . So the Big Sky community means home for us . The people that make up this community all share a love and appreciation for this beautiful place — its uniqueness , its endless supply of outdoor adventure , its wildlife … We are grateful that our children will grow up in this safe , supportive , and welcoming environment , and we are confident that it will nurture and grow their love and appreciation for this special place as well .

“ It ’ s great working every day with people who are happy , doing what they love .”
