What type of company is Dascoulias Realty Group? Dascoulias Realty Group is a real estate brokerage and a member of the National Association of Realtors. We are relocation experts and strive to make every transition the best it can be. We work closely with all types of buyers and sellers. Some of our buyers include a lot of military relocation or VA buyers, first-time home buyers, and those just moving around. What year did you start your business? December of 2018. We purchased the building at 117 2nd Ave N in May of 2019. We are currently expanding the brokerage into an additional 2,500 square feet to accommodate all of our agents. We will have a total of 5,000 square feet for our daily operations. What did you do before starting Dascoulias Realty Group? That's a long list, but I'll keep it short. I was a licensed REALTOR® in Florida, then I was a 911/Law Enforcement Dispatcher before going back into real estate. I believe that dispatching job prepared me for almost anything. What brought you to Great Falls? My husband took a job as an Air Interdiction Agent (pilot) for the Department of Homeland Security about 10 years ago. In great faith, we moved to Great Falls. We love it here. We enjoy the stunning summers and ski at Showdown in the winter time. Why did you decide to stay in Great Falls? We absolutely love Great Falls. We put down our roots and have really enjoyed raising our family here. Along with being entrepreneurs, we are also real estate investors. We enjoy taking care of the properties we own and gentrifying them to make this city better every day. Why did you start your business? I was a successful real estate broker in this market and we are commercial investors, so we decided we should start our own company. I once had a former broker tell me that "he made me." As a woman in business, I took exception to that and quietly decided to work for myself. We have done our best to make the right choices and do the right things, and I believe, as a result, we have been blessed. How many employees did you start with? We had five agents originally, and now we are 27 strong, including myself. We also have two employees. I think we are the second or third largest brokerage in Great Falls. What are the company values? This one is a BIG ONE for us. We have done very minimal recruitment and almost all of our agents and team members have come to us organically. This is so, because we are looking for people who do the right thing, especially when no 58 Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce www.greatfallschamber.org DASCOULIAS REALTY GROUP F E AT U R E D Q & A Photo by Dirt in the Frame Photography
