Property Managers & Licensed Real Estate Agents

Our Team

Paul Burow

General Manager, Montana Licensed Broker, Realtor and Property Manager

Paul is a native Missoulian who told his parents he was studying architecture at Montana State University while secretly majoring in skiing and microbrews. His career path led to construction, structural design, and operations management near Austin, TX for Centex/Pulte Homes. Being too full of good BBQ and longing for a massive pay-cut he returned to Montana in 2010 and leveraged his construction and investment property knowledge into becoming a Montana Licensed Real Estate Broker. While enjoying all aspects of real estate, Paul specializes in multi-family and commercial sales and leasing. In his off-time Paul enjoys exploring different areas of Montana, feeding grizzly bears, and taking selfies with wild bison.

Kelsey Rowland

Field Representative & Licensed Property Manager

Kelsey is a lifelong native of Montana who had high hopes of making it big in Hollywood but chose to revamp her goals after her son was born in 2003. She moved from the small town of Lincoln, Montana (yes, the Unabomber town) to Missoula, Montana in 2004 and worked a variety of customer service positions before finally finding her niche in property management. She began her career as a Field Representative for Professional Property Management in the early summer of 2012 and gained her Property Managers License in February of 2013. With her great attention to detail and property knowledge, she is able to assist both tenants and owners in their everyday needs. She enjoys the ability to drive around our beautiful Missoula community on a daily basis while networking and meeting new and fascinating people. (She is, after all, quite the talker!)

In her free time she enjoys the simpler things in life: laundry, dishes, vacuuming up after her family etc. but truly enjoys her weekly drives with her family through the mountains in the surrounding areas. She was even crowned the victor in the ping pong championship of 1996 (which really just means she beat all her classmates at a rousing game of ping pong in the sixth grade)!

Sarah Gee
