Mod West Land Company realtor JR Tonjum has opened her new office on Broadway Street in Townsend. The light, bright space shows original paintings and artwork. Tonjum, who has worked with Mod West Land Company of Park City, Montana since May, has been selling real estate in Montana for ten years. “I am optimistic about opening in Townsend. The town’s businesses are so active, and everyone is so friendly,” she noted.
Tonjum also has an office in Three Forks. She has been heavily involved in the sale of homes in South Broadwater in the Elk Ridge Village and Wheatland Meadows subdivisions. Before she worked as a realtor, Tonjum lived in Athens, Georgia where she worked as a quality systems consultant on small medical devices with Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company and Marial Animal Health Care.
Tonjum, who is married to native Montanan Dennis Tonjum, is a big supporter of local artists. She intends to have her wall space available for sale of original art. She is showcasing the barn quilt art of Clarkston resident Susan Church. Church builds and paints art for outdoor buildings such as barns and sheds. Her works follow the art paths taken by immigrants from Europe. “People new to this country designated their trade on the doors of their homes, so I patterned my barn quilt ideas from them,” she explained.
Mod West Land Company is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
