Bozeman, Montana Office

I am proud to be a fifth generation Montanan.

I grew up in Whitefish and moved to Bozeman to attend Montana State University in 1998, graduating in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology. My first job was at a title company when I was 15, and I worked there through high school and during the summers while I attended college. Upon graduation, I knew that biotechnology was not going to fit my personality. I wanted to work closely with people, and the real estate industry aligned with my passion. I worked for Stewart Title for about three years before taking the plunge into mortgage lending. And, it's the best decision I've ever made!

I take my job very seriously, and I'm proud of the job I do for my clients. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions anyone ever makes, so I do everything I can to learn as much as possible about my business and all things financial to better help my clients and prepare them for the future. I love teaching people about fiscal literacy and financing.

I take great pride in being a part of the incredible team at Cornerstone Home Lending. With all of the changes in the mortgage industry, it's critical to be a part of a team that is at the forefront of products and technology. After exploring countless mortgage lenders, Cornerstone stood out from the rest, and I am thrilled to be a part of this impressive team.

I am a firm believer that relationships are what make us successful in this industry. I continually strive to promote home buying and responsible homeownership in our local market, and I’m always looking for opportunities to do more.

My husband (who owns MossCreek Landscapes) and I are happy to be active members of our community. Our first child, Alexis, was born in September 2008. She is an amazing addition to our busy worlds--the best gift we could have ever received.

As a family, we enjoy traveling, camping, dirt biking, wake surfing, and RZR riding.

Justin Smith knows that integrity is the foundation for any successful team. A former auctioneer, Justin first became interested in mortgage lending when a client of his owned a mortgage brokerage firm. After deciding to change professions, he has spent the last 10 years helping many clients purchase their own homes with quality, unmatched customer service.

A Kansas native, Justin relocated to Pagosa Springs, Colorado, in 1980 and then to Fort Collins in 1985. When he isn’t assisting clients, you can find Justin spending time with his wife and two daughters, golfing or skiing.
