In the late 1800’s, Chad’s maternal and paternal great-grandparents homesteaded Jackson Hole in part of what is now known as Grand Teton National Park. Being a 4th generation Jackson Hole Native, Chad knows the area better than most.
Before he ventured into real estate, Chad owned the local ski shop Ski & Sports. After establishing himself as a successful real estate broker, Chad became a partner in Teton Shadows Realty, before selling to Sotheby’s International Realty. In 2009 Chad and his partners founded Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates. Chad views his work as a real estate professional in Jackson Hole as providing an important community resource and takes the opportunity to help people with their real estate needs seriously.
In the summer you will find Chad on Jackson Lake on his boat or riding his motorcycle with his wife, Dianne. Growing up as a ski racer in Jackson Hole Chad still enjoys skiing at JH Mountain Resort or exploring the back country on his snow machine.
A Nebraska native, Dianne has lived in Jackson Hole for over four decades. Her education in business ownership, interior design and sales led her into the real estate world of Jackson Hole with her husband, Chad Budge. With over 30 years of experience in real estate, she helped found Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates, a brokerage that started from the ground in 2009 and grew to be the largest locally owned brokerage in Jackson Hole until it was eventually sold to a corporate brand. Previously, Dianne was a partner and Broker with Teton Shadows Realty, before selling to Sotheby’s International Realty and acting as their Responsible Broker. She was also a past Treasurer of the Teton Board of Realtors.
Dianne and her husband Chad enjoy their time together on their boat at Jackson Lake. Her most recent pursuit is in motorcycle riding on scenic road trips. She also enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren who keep her very busy.
Rebekkah, a native to Jackson Hole, has grown up within the real estate community learning from a young age the nature of real estate brokerage from her parents. After completing her business degree from the University of Wyoming, Rebekkah returned to Jackson to pursue her career in real estate, beginning in the real estate appraisal business and then entering real estate sales with Chad and Dianne. Rebekkah’s appraisal knowledge and experience adds a strong foundation with a diverse perspective in working with buyers and sellers.
Rebekkah and her husband Marc have a young daughter and son. They feel extremely fortunate to be able to raise their children in Jackson Hole and allowing them to experience all the great activities Jackson Hole has to offer. Rebekkah loves everything on the water, so you will find her on the river or at Jackson Lake in the summer. Rebekkah learned to ski at a very young age and continues to pursue the sport whenever possible.
