Kim Cripps, Broker
Montana Realtor License #1214 

As a licensed Realtor and Notary Signing Agent, I value the trust my clients place in me, and I strive every day to exceed their expectations.  My family has lived in Havre for over a decade. My husband Gary Hobbs and I have been married for eighteen years. He is a machinist for B.N.S.F. When our three daughters were younger, I owned and operated the Jack & Jill Academy. Prior to entering real estate, I hired on as a CO2 guard at the Walla Walla State Penitentiary and then worked at Havre Hardware & Home. Working directly with the public has given me the advantage of getting to know some of Havre’s finest plumbers, electricians, roofers, painters, home inspectors, landlords, and city workers. 

Becoming a realtor was never a matter of “if” but a “when". I value a person’s character above their net worth and provide the same quality and attentiveness to everyone. I take pride in giving back to our community by serving as a foster parent for our youth in need. I am a firm believer that clients deserve someone willing to provide full time dedication. One of the things that sets me apart is that I will not start anything that I cannot fully dedicate myself to. I am thrilled to be able to commit to your real estate and notary needs.
