What a great agent! Goes back generations in Jackson and thus knows everything about the local market. Always responsive. Worked as hard for us as any other real estate agent we’ve ever had. You cannot go wrong with this agency or this agent. We are very pleased.
Chad Budge is a consummate professional and has a depth of knowledge and experience in the local Jackson real estate market that is unmatched. If you are buying or selling in Jackson Hole, Chad’s team will provide you with the service and accountability you need to be successful in your transaction.
I have to say working with Rebekkah Kelley of Budge Realty throughout our process was truly enjoyable. She made the experience of finding our dream retirement home a reality. We conversed over the phone for nearly 3-4 months prior to our visit. Our original intention was to look for a piece of property and build down the road. Rebekkah knew the area so well and was able to give us a history of the area and a history of the property values over the past 5+ years. She found a home for sale that had the most magnificent view of the Grand Tetons. She found the comp history of the area and trends and found 5 other properties for us to consider. She worked hard in answering our questions and negotiated hard on our behalf. Thank you, Chad, Dianne, and especially Rebekkah. Now we're not just a house but a home that we look forward to enjoying our time together in as a family.
Dianne helped us find a vacation home. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, prompt, and honest. Early on, our interest shifted to a very different type of property than we had initially requested—Dianne handled that shift without hesitation. She was a good listener and provided very good suggestions based on our preferences and commentary. Dianne showed us only properties that interested us. No time was wasted looking at properties that did not suit us! What’s more is she clearly knows the market and different areas in and around Jackson very well. She and Chad managed negotiations between long-distance “jittery” buyers and sellers deftly. Dianne also did a terrific job of keeping the process moving from initial contract through closing. Thanks to Dianne, we found our perfect Jackson vacation home.
We first worked with Dianne about 6 years ago. We contacted her because at the time we thought we wanted to purchase a condo or townhome. After patiently showing us countless units, my wife and I came to the conclusion that what we needed was a home. When it came to showing us homes that caught our interest, Dianne scored above 90%. There is nothing worse than pulling up in the driveway and knowing with certainty before ever walking inside that a home isn’t a match—this never happened with Dianne. She was also essential in helping us understand the market differences between north of town, West Bank, in town, and Teton Village, as well as proximity to the parks, airport, river, or skiing. She also had a good grasp of different neighborhoods’ HOA requirements or restrictions. Her knowledge runs deep. When we independently became aware of a home that was about to come on the market, the fi…

She also had a good grasp of different neighborhoods’ HOA requirements or restrictions. Her knowledge runs deep. When we independently became aware of a home that was about to come on the market, the first person we called was Dianne, based on our experience with our previous purchase with her. We knew she would help us navigate the pitfalls and stay on track while providing useful and honest advice. Prior to putting our home (the one she helped us purchase 6 years ago) on the market, we asked for a blunt critique so we could assess anything they may have deemed substantial. My wife and I thought Dianne and Chad did an excellent job with this. When it came to putting it on the market, Dianne, Chad, and Rebekkah worked very hard to come up with fair and honest comps. Further, they were extremely helpful in assisting us in arriving at an asking price that balanced our financial satisfaction with not turning potential buyers off. Our home sold at full asking price in less than two weeks and at a tidy profit. Dianne has excellent intuition regarding her clients. I can be pretty difficult to work with, and her demeanor is perfect to manage that. We ask for the straight story without the “sugar coating," and Dianne delivers it. Energy abounds in Dianne; rest assured that you will not fall behind when it comes to meeting the various milestones required during the process of buying or selling a property—she will keep things on time and moving forward! In closing, we are unequivocally confident in saying that you will be very happy if you choose Dianne Budge to assist with the purchase or sale of a home or property.
I would highly recommend that you choose Chad Budge and Rebekkah Kelley for all of your real estate needs. Rebekkah is one of the sweetest individuals I have met in Jackson. Just lovely, if you ask me; she is honest and genuine in character and spirit. I think for them, it isn’t about the money so much but about the person or the client and their specific needs being balanced with what is available on the market. Chad and Rebekkah were forthright in all of their interactions with my husband and me. They were on top of it! Their local knowledge is insurmountable. They have excellent process expertise. They were immediately responsive to all of my very many phone calls and email inquiries, and they have excellent negotiation skills.

The most unique thing about Chad and Rebekkah is that we can still call on them for questions. Being new to Jackson, we have a lot to learn! Whether we would like a recommendation for a house cleaner, a nail spa, a roofer, or a place to go for dinner, they are still available to us, and that is very special!
The most professional, knowledgeable real estate person I have dealt with.
I felt Chad and Dianne Budge were a great fit to work with for my husband and me from the very first introduction. They had a calm demeanor and an urgent sense to help! I was in very good hands, and they are both lovely people to work with!
We are very excited about having a Jackson home place once again and want to thank you and your staff for facilitating that this would happen for us. It has been a real pleasure to work with you, and you made this a very efficient, smooth transaction for us.
Dianne and team did a great job in responding and ensuring someone was always available when there was a question. Dianne was great about ensuring what the buyer was interested in and any nuances, not just in the home, but in overall interests to ensure the best locations were sought. This deal could have fallen off the rails several times if Dianne and team had not gotten involved. Very pleased with the efforts and attention to detail that Dianne et al. provided. Should I pursue another property in the region, it will be through Budge Real Estate.
