Your Real Estate Consultant For Life by Dale Flaten — Book Cover

"Dale isn't just a successful real estate agent; he's a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit's capacity to turn adversity into triumph." — Joe Stumpf, Founder, By Referral Only & Author of the Foreword

Forged in Adversity. Built to Protect You.

Dale grew up on construction sites in Northeastern Montana, learning the bones of a house — and the bones of good character — from the ground up. His father was a tough carpenter contractor; his mother was his shield. Together, they gave him the "hammer and shield" approach he brings to every real estate transaction: strength to negotiate, and heart to protect.
