Generations of Knowledge in Bozeman + the Gallatin Valley
McKenna Adams Commercial Realty is a Bozeman-based brokerage specializing in commercial real estate across the Gallatin Valley and greater Montana. Our team brings over 50 years of combined experience in commercial sales, leasing, land, investment, and development — with the local knowledge to back it up.
We're not the flashiest brokerage in the state. We're the one that closes.
McKenna Realty was founded in Bozeman in 1986 by Mike McKenna, who saw the commercial opportunity emerging in the Gallatin Valley before most. Through economic booms and national downturns alike, the brokerage remained a steady presence in the local market, advising clients, closing deals, and building a reputation that didn't need much advertising.
In 2019, McKenna Realty became McKenna Adams realty when Katie Adams and Marley McKenna took over as owners, bringing fresh energy and a broadened scope: more development, more investment work, and a team that now covers the full spectrum of Montana commercial real estate.
The fundamentals haven't changed: Deep market knowledge, straight talk, and creative problem-solving when deals get complicated.
McKenna Adams advises buyers, sellers, tenants, landlords, and investors across a range of commercial real estate transactions in Bozeman and Montana, including:
Commercial Sales & Acquisitions
retail, office, industrial, and mixed-use
Commercial Leasing
representing both tenants and landlords
Land & Agriculture Transactions
raw land, agricultural, and development parcels
Investment Property
cap rate analysis, off-market sourcing, and deal structuring
Commercial Development
site selection, entitlement, and project coordination
I joined McKenna Realty in the spring of 2013 with a background in real estate and an understanding of different marketplaces across the country. Working side by side with Mike for over seven years I learned the many nuances of commercial real estate transactions and the importance of creative thinking. Our brokerage has a nice balance between the depth of Mike’s experience, Marley’s entrepreneurial mindset, and my holistic approach to real estate. Together we match clients with a property that is right for them. It is a great feeling to know your client feels confident, educated and empowered in their decision. To better serve our clients, I’m also working toward my Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) Designation.
“If I could give one thing to anyone interested in commercial real estate, in any capacity, is the knowledge that there will be challenges, that is the nature of the game - but we are here to find the solutions to those challenges!”
My husband and I have chosen to build a family in a community that flourishes because of the outdoor lifestyle we are afforded. As a family, we like to spend our time camping, hiking, and watching our toddlers identify the many dinosaurs at the Museum of the Rockies. I’m also an active board member of the Headwaters Community Housing Trust and the Bozeman Meadowlark Parent Advisory Council. This community has given me so much to be thankful for and I am passionate about contributing to its continued prosperity.
Over the past decade, I’ve owned, operated, and sold multiple successful businesses. With a strong business background, I offer expertise in the commercial real estate world by understanding economics, location, and how the property affects the greater goals of any venture. Community, quality, and ethical practice are the pillars of the work I do and I am motivated strongly by the desire to see our valley grow in a positive and sustainable way.
Giving back is a driving priority in this commitment. I’ve done this in part, by sitting on community boards that do excellent work in our community. In the past, this has included the Downtown Business Association, Bridgercare, and the Prospera Women’s Business Center. I’m currently the Sitting President of the Bozeman Library Friends and Foundation and a board member of the Downtown Urban Renewal District.
“I believe that there is a positive outcome possible in any pursuit and I work extensively in off-market real estate, finding properties for clients, even when there appear to be few options. In a competitive market like ours, I will go the extra mile to create successful real estate relationships.”
As a 5th generation Montanan, I can safely call this place my forever home. In my time off I enjoy hiking, skiing, biking, camping, and exploring the rivers and lakes in our great state with my husband and daughter.
Tyler Miles has been an agent with McKenna-Adams Commercial Realty since 2023 and in 2026 expanded her role with the firm to also serve as Marketing Manager, leading the company’s marketing strategy and brand presence while continuing to work with clients across a variety of commercial real estate opportunities.
Since entering the commercial real estate industry in 2019, Tyler has built a diverse background spanning development, project management, and marketing. Throughout her career she has held roles including Project Manager, Development Associate, and Director of Marketing and Communications, gaining experience in the full lifecycle of real estate development — from early planning and consultant coordination to project marketing and communications.
Originally from the Florida panhandle, Tyler’s path to Montana included time in Nashville before ultimately settling in the Livingston area. Having witnessed the impacts of growth and development across several markets, she brings a thoughtful perspective to Montana’s rapidly evolving commercial real estate landscape.
Outside the office, Tyler enjoys skiing, rafting, fishing, golfing, needlepointing, reading and spending as much time as possible exploring Montana’s outdoors.
“I always strive to ensure that clients reach their ultimate property goals through my commitment, accountability, and enthusiasm. I never give up on finding the perfect site for a client's venture.”
I bring a background in finance and real estate to my work with McKenna-Adams Commercial Realty. After earning a Finance degree with a specialization in Real Estate from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, I worked with several private equity firms, gaining experience across a wide range of real estate asset classes and markets. This foundation gave me a broad perspective on deal structures and the factors that drive successful transactions.
My first visit to Montana in 2016 left me certain it was where I wanted to build my life. That dream became reality when I relocated here, allowing me to merge my professional expertise with the community and landscape I love.
At McKenna-Adams, I focus on helping clients uncover the best opportunities—both on and off the market—through a blend of market insight and strategic thinking. I take pride in building strong, lasting relationships and working persistently to find creative, value-driven solutions.
In addition to my role at McKenna-Adams, I’m involved in my family’s real estate development business in Livingston, MT. Outside of work, you’ll find me golfing, fishing, and soaking up all that the Montana outdoors has to offer.
Bozeman-based and Montana-raised, I’m Samantha Fish—passionate about helping people find their place in this beautiful and rapidly growing community. I’ve called Bozeman home since 1996, growing up hiking, camping, riding horses, and embracing everything the Montana outdoors has to offer.
My love for wildlife and animals has always been a big part of who I am, and it’s one of the many reasons I feel so deeply connected to the natural beauty of this region.
After earning my degree in International Affairs and Middle Eastern Studies from Northeastern University in 2010, I spent time living in New York, Boston, and Cairo. Those experiences broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for the strong sense of community I’ve found in Bozeman.
Helping others has always been at the heart of what I do. I’m committed to serving every client with integrity, transparency, and care—whether they’re buying their first home, investing, or relocating to this special place. I’m also passionate about supporting sustainable growth and guiding locals through the challenges of a rapidly changing market.
I’m grateful to be part of the incredible team at McKenna | Adams, where I’m also expanding into commercial real estate. The collaboration and expertise of my colleagues inspire me every day as I continue to grow and serve this community.
Bozeman is home—and I’m here to help you feel the same.
Through my work with McKenna-Adams Commercial Realty, I combine more than 25 years of experience across architecture, development, and real estate advisory to support informed real estate decisions. My background includes working with design-build teams across the western United States, as well as advising on commercial, land, and residential opportunities with a focus on long-term value and performance.
In addition to my real estate work, I serve in executive leadership and consulting roles where I have worked with national organizations on risk management, property resilience, and real estate development. This experience gives me a unique perspective on how factors such as sustainable design, modern space planning, construction quality, and risk (particularly in the areas of wildfire and severe weather exposure) and how they impact real estate decisions.
I approach real estate with a broader, design-informed lens, helping clients evaluate not just the transaction, but how a property functions, performs, and evolves over time. I work with buyers, sellers, and development clients to bring clarity to complex decisions and align opportunities with long-term goals.
Raised in Big Timber, Montana, I have deep roots in the state and a strong appreciation for how real estate shapes communities, custom homes, and thoughtful land development throughout Montana. I live in the Bozeman area with my wife and enjoy spending time with our two children and our pets. As early empty nesters, we enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, and restoring unique properties with a focus on craftsmanship and design. Lastly, GO CATS!
After officially retiring in the fall of 2022, I now serve McKenna-Adams in an advisory capacity. A fixture in the commercial real estate market through over 40 years of rapid growth as well as recession, I served on several boards and worked with various organizations in town. My knack for problem-solving meant that I found working with each individual and helping them fulfill their specific needs brought me the most satisfaction and allowed me to look forward to each day.
“When consulting with McKenna-Adams, my goal for every client is to use my experience and skills to make transactions happen in the best way possible, making sure they are fully educated in the market and have a clear understanding of the potential for the property they are investing in.”
In retirement, my focus has shifted to enjoying traveling, golfing and hunting. I am also an avid reader and have been a part of the same book club for over 20 years. My favorite things in the world are my wife, children, grandchildren, and extended family.
