Randy C. Shelton
- Joined Hall and Hall in 2007
- Over 30 years of experience in the mortgage industry and real estate sales
- Known for his attention to detail, discipline, and competitiveness
Don’t let his quiet demeanor fool you, he’s the one you want to have your back if things get ugly. He can take a punch, close a deal, and continues to be competitive in areas such as the triple jump, arm wrestling, and powerlifting. A fourth-generation citizen of “Butte, America”, his roots run deep and colorful. Be sure to ask him about inspiring Evel Knievel, the “Butte Assassin”, and playing baseball at Gonzaga University.
When not representing Hall and Hall, you’ll find Randy expressing his passion for the outdoors and agriculture with his family. He’s at home in the backcountry, on a river, riding a horse, or volunteering for hospice. That’s “Montana” level “range” and the lessons learned from Butte are his anchors.
Takeaway: Randy’s attention to detail, discipline, and competitiveness is just what you need to take on Montana and Wyoming.
