Ray Elser, Responsible Broker of Real Estate of Jackson Hole, (REJH) announced the unique relationship with Templeman, a non-resident associate broker who will target prospective buyers for investing in one of the most upscale realty markets in North America. "By facilitating with the vacation plans to the Tetons, Becky desires to share her favorable impressions of Jackson Hole as a destination and also as an attractive real estate market for buyers," he added.

According to Templeman, "The journey to Jackson Hole combines a week of outdoor recreation with the ultimate buying experience. We spend one full day together mirroring the investor's specific desires: a slope side condo, detached home or land, with Rocky Mountain scenic splendor provided at no extra charge."

The six-night excursion also offers day trips for the best of fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, golfing or whitewater rafting on the Snake River. Travel accommodations and rate quotes are arranged through the Art of Travel, LLC, Denver, Colo., Susie Mammel, CTC and long-time Jackson Hole traveler.

Elser said Templeman approached him with the buyer's excursion proposal after traveling to Jackson Hole to earn the Wyoming real estate broker designation last year. "It seems like a win/win proposal: a memorable vacation with the backdrop of a viable opportunity to purchase in a proven resort investment market," Elser added.

Templeman's travel agent days date to the 1970s when she was an outside travel consultant with a Denver firm, where her real estate career began in 1989. She begins her ninth year in the industry as an associate broker with Real Estate III, Charlottesville's largest real estate firm. She will live and work the summer months in Jackson Hole, handing the baton of her Virginia market to the hands of a team of agents for uninterrupted client services.

Since 2002 Templeman has specialized in the Wintergreen Resort resale market, representing many buyers wanting to invest in "backyard resort markets." "From this perspective, I have every reason to believe that the Jackson Hole experience will strike a chord with the 2007 economy and lifestyle buyers. Today's baby boomers and others are driven by an altruistic desire to acquire property in scenic geographic locations. With a population of just over 18,000 in Teton County, and 97% of its land protected from future development, Jackson Hole and the Tetons won't disappoint," Templeman said.

Real Estate of Jackson Hole is the exclusive affiliate of Christie's Great Estates in Wyoming and the exclusive real estate brokerage firm for the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The reputation of Real Estate of Jackson Hole for conscientious client service and market penetration combined with the power of Christie's Great Estates, the largest network of independent real estate firms, offers a synergy between local strength and global networking. Christie's Great Estates, a wholly owned subsidiary of the renowned auction house Christie's, is the largest international network of real estate companies specializing in the sale of important properties.
