Born in Scotland, Gilian worked for the BBC and taught English and Theatre Arts in schools and universities throughout Europe before immigrating to the USA. She worked with Merrill Lynch Corporation in California, rising to the top ranks of the company as one of the leading specialists in Los Angeles' residential and investment real estate market. Her large and loyal clientele in the entertainment industry depended on her high ethical standards and equally high levels of professionalism. Since her move to Montana in 1998, and to ERA Landmark, Gillian continues to build on those qualities that inform her work and her strong reputation with clients and colleagues, believing passionately that Montana continues to offer some of the best investment opportunities available in this country and indeed, worldwide.
