Introduction

Nathan Pierce is the founder and principal broker of Baseline Real Estate, based in Billings, Montana. He brings a rare combination of real estate, business, and legal expertise to every transaction, setting a higher standard for professional brokerage across Big Sky Country.

Nathan is a licensed Montana real estate broker and a registered paralegal with the Montana State Bar, offering clients the unique advantage of deep legal and regulatory understanding alongside seasoned negotiation skill.

He has built Baseline Real Estate on one guiding belief: strategic representation creates successful outcomes.

A Montana Brokerage Built on Experience and Vision

Baseline Real Estate was established to meet the growing demand for professional, discreet, and highly knowledgeable representation in Montana’s business, investment, and real estate sectors.

Headquartered in Billings, Montana, Baseline operates statewide — representing clients from Missoula to Miles City, Bozeman to Big Timber, and across every rural corridor in between. The firm’s specialty areas include:

Cannabis industry brokerage — licensed real estate and business sales, compliance consultation, valuation, and asset transfer management

Farm and ranch transactions — agricultural operations, production farms, working cattle ranches, and large-acreage holdings

Trophy and recreational properties — hunting, fishing, and lifestyle estates marketed to regional, national, and international buyers

Hospitality and retail — commercial properties including dispensaries, restaurants, lodging, and destination venues

Investment and development real estate — income-producing assets, redevelopment opportunities, and high-value mixed-use sites

Every transaction is handled with confidentiality, diligence, and precision, whether representing a private business owner, a corporate investor, or a generational family estate.

Legal Insight Meets Market Expertise

As both a broker and a registered paralegal, Nathan brings a unique level of sophistication to Baseline Real Estate. His background includes extensive experience in:

Contract negotiation and analysis

Regulatory and compliance review (particularly for licensed cannabis operations)

Due diligence and document coordination

Expert witness services in valuation and real estate-related litigation

This dual skillset gives Baseline clients an edge — transactions are not only market-smart but also legally sound and properly structured. For sellers, that means cleaner deals and reduced risk. For buyers, it means confident decisions supported by transparent documentation and professional oversight.

Land, Lifestyle, and Legacy Properties

Montana is known for its vast landscapes, working lands, and unmatched recreation. Baseline Real Estate proudly represents farm, ranch, and trophy recreational properties that reflect the best of the Montana lifestyle — from productive ranches and income-producing acreage to exclusive hunting, fishing, and mountain retreat properties.

Each listing receives a tailored marketing plan featuring:

Professional photography, aerial and drone imaging

GIS mapping and boundary overlays

Market data, income projections, and land use assessments

Direct outreach to qualified buyers, investors, and lifestyle property networks

Nathan understands that rural property transactions are about more than numbers — they’re about legacy, stewardship, and vision. Baseline Real Estate bridges that connection between seller and buyer with professionalism and respect for the land itself.
