Ken Stein: As the owner of Chuck Olson Real Estate of Whitefish, the largest independent real1466524732 estate company in Whitefish, from 1994 to 2008, Ken brings a rich understanding of the local market to the team. He earned his Graduate Realtor Institute and Certified Residential Specialist degrees from Realtors Institute in the late 80’s. An involved Whitefish resident for nearly 40 years, Ken is currently serving his third term on the Whitefish Planning Board and his second term on the Whitefish Resort Tax Advisory Board.

Cindy Stein: With 36 years of experience as a sought-after listing and selling broker, Cindy’s expertise will be a major asset to the Whitefish PureWest team. She puts her knowledge of the Flathead Valley’s market to good use and works tirelessly for her clients. She has served on many REALTOR committees as well as the City of Whitefish’s Architectural Review Committee. She holds the highly regarded Certified Residential Specialist and Graduate Realtor Institute designations.

Cindy and Ken have lived in Whitefish since the 1970s. They love spending time with their 14-year-old son Alex and their two dogs. They particularly enjoy swimming, golfing, fishing, camping, cooking, and cheering on the Griz football team.

1466524764Linda Chauner: With a focus on providing outstanding customer service and a belief in the power of long-term relationships, Linda has showed a deep commitment to her clients since 2006. “Good, honest, ethical professionalism as well as plain hard work to continually learn and stay current with our industry is how I accomplish that,” Linda says.
