Dave Smith Realty LLC
Serving Fallon County, MT
Home Search Eastern Montana Search Billings Montana About Contact DAVE SMITH REALTY TEAM Home Search Eastern Montana Search Billings Montana About Contact Echo Jo Venn DAVE SMITH Echo was raised in the beautiful mountains of Libby, Montana. Growing up in a fourth generation logging family, she spent a good part of her upbringing in the Rocky Mountain forests. Her interest in land and property began at a young age as her family was active in discussing property rights policy within the inland northwest. Echo attended college at the University of Montana in Missoula and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communications and a minor in Political Science in December of 2002. For the next 14 years she dedicated her working life to a non-profit educational organization that connected our rural, natural resource workers with our inner city teachers and youth, with a mission to create a bridge of understanding and respect for our culture and professions. Although she remains dedicated to this cause, she decided to pursue a career that didn’t require as much travel while her three young children grew. Due to her genuine enjoyment of working with people and her prior experience, this has been a natural fit and she is grateful for each client that gives her the opportunity to work for them. She is also the new treasurer for Let Me Shine Preschool Board and volunteers within multiple local non-profits. Lute (15), Presley Jo (12), Kya (10), and Ayla (4). David has a very extensive ranching background. His experience comes from owning and managing a livestock grazing, farming and feeding/backgrounding business for 30 years in Eastern Montana. Vicki has worked in agriculture her whole life. Her interest in livestock (and the land they run on) has been a lifetime commitment and goal. The desire to help people and her passion for Montana sparked her interest in the real estate industry.
