Ridgeline Real Estate

What Ridgeline Real Estate does

Ridgeline Real Estate is a privately held, locally owned real estate brokerage and property management firm headquartered in Great Falls, Montana, operating under owners Gena Gremaux (Broker | Owner | Property Manager) and Wyatt Gremaux (Broker | Property Manager | CPM), with an additional sales agent, Kohlette Duncan. The firm runs a dual-service model: it provides full-service property management (marketing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, move-in/out inspections, eviction coordination, and financial reporting) for residential and commercial property owners, and it offers buying, selling, and investing services across residential, commercial, industrial, farm, ranch, and investment properties.

The company's core technology stack is the AppFolio Property Manager platform, which powers both the tenant portal (online rent payments, maintenance requests, renter insurance access, and account management, available via web and mobile) and the owner portal (financial statements, document access, maintenance updates, and 24/7 account access). Ridgeline also directly owns and operates two branded apartment communities: Westbrook Apartments, a 2020-built pet-friendly 2BR/2BA community near Hickory Swings Golf Course, and Stadium Club Apartments, a secure energy-efficient community at 2501 8th Ave N near Eagle Falls Golf Course and Kiwanis Park.

Revenue is generated through three streams: commission-based real estate brokerage fees on buy/sell transactions, recurring monthly and annual property management fees (the monthly fee is charged only when rent is successfully collected), and a standardized schedule of tenant fees including a $40 application fee, $50 lease administration fee, $2 monthly convenience fee, $15 monthly landlord liability insurance, $45 monthly pet fee, $50 late fee, $30 NSF fee, and an early termination fee equal to 75% of one month's rent. The firm holds memberships in NAR, IREM (where Wyatt Gremaux is the 4th Montana CPM as of 2024), MAR, and GFAR, and serves a customer base composed entirely of individual SMB/consumer tenants, owners, buyers, and sellers in the Great Falls, MT market.
