McGarvin & Taylor Real Estate

What McGarvin & Taylor Real Estate does

McGarvin & Taylor Real Estate is a privately held, owner-operated real estate brokerage founded in 1906 and headquartered at 701 Big Horn Avenue in Worland, Wyoming. The firm provides buying and selling services across three property categories — residential, commercial, and farm/ranch — for clients in Washakie, Big Horn, and Hot Springs counties within the Big Horn Basin region. Broker/Owner Catherine "Kitty" Mortimer leads a team of approximately eight licensed agents, including Broker/Co-owner Amy Baugh (a top producer in Washakie County since 1992 and multi-million dollar club member) and Associate Broker Alison Taylor-Sheesley, supported by sales associates specializing in agriculture, ranch properties, and relocation guidance.

The firm's core technology is a property search platform hosted at worlandwyo.com with MLS integration, customizable filters (price, beds, baths, location), and virtual tour capabilities designed to support remote buyers relocating to the region. The website also publishes buyer and seller educational resources and community information for towns including Worland, Ten Sleep, Thermopolis, Basin, and Greybull. There is no proprietary AI/ML layer; the technology stack is conventional brokerage tooling.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based real estate commissions on closed deals, with commission rates negotiated per transaction rather than publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led through licensed agents providing in-person showings, negotiations, and closings, supplemented by virtual and remote buyer support for out-of-area purchasers. Marketing relies on the company website, organic search, direct outreach (phone, email, text), and word-of-mouth referrals driven by the firm's longstanding local reputation as the #1-rated real estate office in Worland for many consecutive years.

Broad incumbents

• Coldwell Banker: National real estate brokerage franchise with affiliated agents across Wyoming. Competes with McGarvin & Taylor for buyer and seller representation in rural markets, but at much larger scale and with a global brand.
• Century 21: Global real estate franchise with regional offices throughout the Mountain West, including Wyoming. Comparable brokerage services for residential, commercial and rural properties, but backed by a much larger parent organization.
• RE/MAX: Globally franchised real estate brokerage with strong rural and small-market presence. Directly comparable transaction-based commission model serving residential buyers and sellers in markets similar to Worland.
• Keller Williams Realty: Large agent-centric brokerage franchise with agents active in Wyoming markets. Overlaps with McGarvin & Taylor in residential resale and buyer/seller representation, though typically concentrated in larger metros.
• Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices: National brokerage network with affiliated agents in Wyoming and other Mountain West states. Competes for the same residential and lifestyle-move buyer pool, but offers stronger brand backing and relocation networks.
• EXIT Realty: Franchised brokerage with notable penetration in smaller towns and rural markets. Comparable commission-based service model and small-office operating structure to McGarvin & Taylor.
• Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate: National franchise affiliated with a well-known consumer brand, with agents operating across Wyoming and the broader region. Overlaps in residential and lifestyle-move transactions.
• ERA Real Estate: Franchised real estate brand with rural and small-market presence in the Mountain West. Provides comparable brokerage services for residential and farm/ranch properties in Wyoming-adjacent markets.
• Redfin: Technology-led brokerage offering discounted commission services. While not active in the smallest Wyoming towns today, its national brand and consumer-facing tools represent the principal competitive pressure on traditional full-service brokerages like McGarvin & Taylor.

Emerging players

• eXp Realty: Cloud-based brokerage model with agents licensed across Wyoming. Competes for the same agents and listings in rural markets but with a low-overhead, technology-led operating model that pressures traditional commission structures.
