Kyra Ames

Kyra’s passion for real estate started in 1996 when she worked as a licensed assistant for two brokers in Missoula. While she let her first license expire to chase other goals, her journey has been anything but ordinary. While studying at MSU for her BA in Art and Photography she fought wildland fires for the Forest Service and was a local Livingston bartender. After college, she freelanced as a food and editorial photographer, embraced being a stay-at-home mom, and recently trained as an American Airlines flight attendant. When her kids were quite young, Kyra dove back into real estate, this time as an investor—over the years she’s remodeled several homes; designed, subdivided and labored over a new construction infill project, bought and sold bare land, and purchased, remodeled and managed a VRBO in Great Falls, MT—she’s had hands-on experience in nearly every type of real estate transaction.

Kyra loves soaking up Montana’s outdoor adventures, with a special passion for sailing and traveling with her family. Her proudest accomplishment? Walking 200+ miles along Spain’s northern coast with her husband to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Originally from Helena, she’s loved raising their two kids in one of the most walkable small towns in America.
