Jim Bob Coleman

Trusted Real Estate Partner

Welcome! I’m Jim Bob or JBC as my friends call me, a licensed real estate agent and seasoned developer in Montana, dedicated to transforming the landscape of real estate through integrity and innovation. My journey in real estate is driven by a deep-seated passion for creating meaningful spaces where memories are made. As a committed numbers guy, my approach blends meticulous analysis with transparent communication, ensuring that every client makes informed and confident decisions.

My ethos is simple: everyone deserves a quality, well-built home. This belief fuels my dedication as I work tirelessly to deliver homes that not only meet but exceed expectations. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a dedicated husband and father, a former PGA golf professional, and a people person at heart. I find joy in focusing more on your dreams and aspirations than on my own accomplishments.

Whether you’re buying your first home or seeking a trustworthy partner for your next real estate project, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s make your real estate dreams a reality together.

Conner Bokma

Project Manager

I graduated from Montana State University with a degree in Construction Engineering Technology and co-founded CB Built, LLC. Before teaming up with P3 Coleman and starting CB Built, I had the opportunity to work on luxury hospitality and commercial projects in Montana's Gallatin Valley, as well as build luxury custom homes in the Treasure Valley of Boise, ID. My passion for building—whether it's structures, communities, or relationships—drives everything I do.

Growing up on the family farm in Denton, MT, I learned that the value of land goes far beyond its dollar worth. This deeply influenced my commitment to sustainable and long-term development in the communities where I build. I genuinely enjoy the process of problem-solving that comes with the construction and development industries, and I value the connection with the community that these projects create. I’m fortunate to be joined in life by my best friend and wife, Ashley Bokma and our baby Collins.

Kelly Coleman

Community Developer and Visionary Leader

I’m Kelly, a dedicated developer with a lifelong passion for enhancing the communities of Billings, Montana, the town where I was born and raised. With 20 years of experience in real estate, I have a keen eye for what makes a neighborhood not just livable but lovable. My career is driven by a desire to create and innovate welcoming communities where families can grow roots and to which they can always return.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to introduce fresh ideas—from thoughtfully designed homes that push architectural boundaries to community centers that become hubs of local activity. I strive to identify what’s missing in a neighborhood and bring those needed elements to life, ensuring that each project truly enhances the community’s fabric.

Beyond real estate, I lead an oil and gas exploration and production company, and I’m involved in various entrepreneurial investments, which allow me to bring a diverse perspective to my developments. I pride myself on being a team player who values loyalty, hard work, dedication, and drive. Known for my fairness and honesty, I always aim to see every side of an issue and treat everyone with respect.

Outside of my professional life, I am a devoted wife and mother of three and deeply love my family. My approach to development is much like my approach to family: focused, nurturing, and always looking towards the future.

Let’s build something great together.
