PureWest Christie's International Real Estate

What PureWest Christie's International Real Estate does

PureWest Christie's International Real Estate is a privately held, full-service residential real estate brokerage headquartered in Kalispell, Montana, operating 19 physical offices across Montana and North Idaho with more than 240 licensed agents. The firm is a regional affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate and a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, which together grant access to global luxury buyer networks and a 500+-firm national referral base. PureWest also operates a commercial real estate sub-brand, SVN Purewest CRE, under an SVN brand partnership, and offers dedicated farm & ranch and relocation service lines alongside its core luxury and residential brokerage.

The company's core product is the agent-driven brokerage transaction: it lists, markets, and closes residential, luxury, farm & ranch, and commercial properties on commission, with a 2025 sales volume of $1.98B+ across 1,740+ closed transactions at a $1.1M average sales price. Revenue is generated via standard percentage-based real estate commissions (exact rates not publicly disclosed), with the brokerage taking a split of each transaction. Supporting products include an interactive map search, a lifestyle-segmented search (waterfront, ski, equestrian, golf, farm & ranch), an annual lifestyle magazine, recurring Market Trends reports, and agent/office directories. The company is ranked #1 in Montana by RealTrends Verified for both 2025 and 2026 and is designated Top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationwide.

Underlying technology is standard real estate brokerage infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms. The website integrates multiple regional MLS feeds (Montana Regional MLS, Big Sky Country MLS, Billings Association of Realtors MLS, Big Sky MLS / Gallatin Association), the FRED API for mortgage rate display, Google reCAPTCHA on contact forms, Property Panorama for virtual tours, and Union Street Media for digital marketing. Devin Khoury has been an owner of the firm since 2016, and other named owners and brokers include Sean Averill, Scott Strellnauer, Crystal Krause, Cjay Clark, Allyson Sabo (Managing Broker, Whitefish), and high-producing agents such as Matt L Buckmaster, Rebecca Donnelly, and Stacy Sager.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Compass: Tech-forward national real estate brokerage aggressively expanding into luxury markets. Represents the principal technology-enabled threat to PureWest's agent-recruiting economics and a direct competitor for high-producing agents and luxury listings.
• Hall and Hall: Specialized ranch, farm, and luxury rural real estate brokerage operating across the Western U.S. Directly comparable to PureWest's Farm & Ranch service line and to its luxury recreation-segment offerings.
• Engel & Völkers: Global luxury real estate franchise with a similar affiliate/partnership model to Christie's International Real Estate, specializing in prestige residential brokerage. Direct peer to PureWest on luxury positioning, global brand leverage, and lifestyle-segment focus.
• The Agency: Luxury-focused residential real estate brokerage with a similar concierge-style service model and lifestyle branding. Competes for the same high-net-worth buyer and prestige listing pool in resort and second-home markets.
• Fay Ranches: Specialist ranch real estate brokerage covering Montana, Idaho, and other Western states. Direct competitor in the farm/ranch and recreational-land segments where PureWest is also active.
• Sotheby's International Realty: Affiliated with the Sotheby's auction house, this is the most direct competitive comparison to PureWest's Christie's affiliation. Competes for the same international luxury buyer pool and prestige residential listings in resort/lifestyle markets.

Broad incumbents

• Coldwell Banker Real Estate: One of the largest U.S. residential real estate franchises, with significant presence across Montana (PureWest's agents have prior Coldwell Banker tenure). Competes broadly in residential brokerage including luxury segments but is not luxury-specialized.
• Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices: Large national brokerage franchise leveraging the Berkshire Hathaway brand, with franchisees operating in regional markets including the Western U.S. Overlaps with PureWest on residential and luxury segments as a broad national incumbent.

Emerging players

• eXp Realty: Cloud-based, agent-centric brokerage model rapidly expanding in Western U.S. markets. Emerging threat to traditional commission-split brokerages like PureWest, particularly in agent recruitment.

Regional players

• Windermere Real Estate: Pacific Northwest-based residential real estate franchise with strong presence in Western states adjacent to PureWest's territory. Competes in the same lifestyle/resort markets but is anchored in a different primary region.
