Utah Realtors & Real Estate Agents

Brandi Hammon likes doing hard, exhausting things that some may even call horrible. Think mountaineering in Alaska, racing 100 miles on a mountain bike above 10,000 feet or starting her own real estate brokerage from scratch.

As the founder of Mountain Luxury Real Estate and Lodging, her life’s work is a unique combination of selling beautiful mountain homes and protecting the land and community that surrounds them. For Brandi, there’s no separating what she does and why. Her business is a natural extension of her personal passions, and her success is evidence of how deeply that passion runs.

When she eventually launched into real estate, it didn’t take long for Brandi to tap her own entrepreneurial spirit and start creating a new kind of brokerage. She spent a few scrappy years teaching herself the ins and outs of the industry, at one point knowing (and even doing) every role within her company. Having grown up on ranchland that was eventually sold and developed, Brandi’s life mission became clear: build a life for herself and others within the mountains while maintaining their magic.

Brandi actively sells real estate and is one of northern Utah’s top performing brokers. She serves a sophisticated clientele in a variety of transactions including residential, commercial, developments, new construction, second home, short sale, foreclosure, and investment properties. Her philosophy could be summed up as “doing it right, not cheap,” an ethos she’s earned through years of experience and self-taught knowledge. Because Brandi’s career took off in sales before real estate, she’s never been held back by the traditional ideas of what a brokerage is or isn’t. Brandi is always chasing better ways to do what she does, evolving toward whatever yields the best results for her clients and company regardless of the status quo which has lead to a breadth of knowledge she readily shares with her clients.

Brandi is an avid traveler who prioritizes adventure over comfort. From the moment she stepped on her first flight to Europe to when her husband proposed on the summit of Mont Blanc (freezing temperatures and stomach bugs included), travel has been a defining part of her family life. She is happiest spending time with the people she loves in places that don’t have cell service. You might say she’s comfortable being very uncomfortable.

The one thing Brandi might be incapable of is not caring. Rather than just live in the areas her companies service, she is deeply involved in fighting for their betterment. Brandi serves or has served on several Boards including the Ogden Valley Land Trust, Weber School Foundation, Snowbasin Sports Education Foundation, and Ogden Contemporary Arts to name a few. She feels strongly that businesses have a responsibility to improve their communities, and has always backed up that belief with action. That includes writing checks which included over $60,000 in 2021 alone.

Brandi is most at home when chasing her next venture, and she’d love nothing more than to help chase yours.

An Ogden Valley native, Heather Bowden is an experienced professional in the industry. She graduated from Weber High School in 1997 and got her real estate license in 1999 at the age of 19.

Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Eden, UT. - It was my pleasure to work with Kathy Grandin and I would highly recommend her as a real estate agent. Kathy was very effective at finding and showing the homes that matched my needs and she was helpful from beginning to the end of the entire process. Kathy worked very hard at making sure I was informed and kept my wishes foremost in showing and eventually purchasing my home. It was refreshing to find someone who was more concerned about my needs than just selling a home.

Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in Ogden, UT. - Kathy was absolutely amazing. We looked at close to 30 houses before we found the one. We had found a couple that we made offers on but we were late in doing so and the homes sold. Kathy was wonderful in sending us updated homes for sale on the MLS list and was always available at the time we needed to look since both my wife and I work full time. I would recommend Kathy for her expertise in real estate as well as her willingness to work with her clients. I would give her a rating of 15 out of 10 and would highly recommend her!

Sold a Single Family home in 2015 in Huntsville, UT. - Kathy Grandin did a great job for me in selling my home. She is very knowledgeble with respect to the local market, and had great ideas for making the home sell easier and more quickly. There were quite a few homes in my price range for sale, and mine was one of the first to sell, thanks to Kathy. She is very attentive and proactive, and has become a good friend as well.

Sold a home in 2014 in Liberty, Eden, UT - Kathy was a pleasure to deal with. She went well beyond the call of duty. In addition to providing professional advice, she seemed to anticipated our every need. I can't recommend her highly enough especially if you're buying or selling in Ogden Valley.

Sold a Single Family home in 2014 in Ogden, UT. - Kathy was a true blessing to work with. My wife and I sold one home and purchased another in a very timely manner. She was always available to us and responded quickly to any of our questions or concerns during the complete process. Once negotiations were complete we were able to close on both properties in 1 day! Kathy's connections with a local mortgage and title company were by far the very best to work with! We highly recommend Kathy!! -David & Cindy Blevins
