About Belladonna
I'm Belladonna Bayless, an Associate Broker with eXp Realty's Land & Ranch division, and I've spent more than 20 years in Utah real estate. This site is the honest version: land, water, and wide-open views in the Wasatch Back, with the polish left at the office.
The long version
Ranch-kitchen
I started in this business more than 20 years ago and ran it from every chair: real estate COO, managing broker, and finally the one I like best, boots on the dirt. That background means I've seen the transaction from the back office and the front gate, and I negotiate like someone who has read every page of the file, because I have.
I'm a published Inman News contributor and a national educator who has trained thousands of real estate professionals. Teaching agents for years taught me something useful for buyers: the clearest explanation wins. No jargon, no theater, just the facts about the ground, the water, and the deal.
Today I'm an Associate Broker with eXp Realty's Land & Ranch division, covering Summit and Wasatch Counties. My clients count on candid guidance, thoughtful strategy, and steady support from the first conversation through closing. And yes, some of those conversations happen from the front seat of a green Jeep.
Why land? Land doesn't move, doesn't remodel itself, and doesn't argue about the HOA. It's the one thing in real estate you can't fake, and the one thing that's been here longer than any of us. I like selling things that last.

The office
The Jeep
My bright green lifted Gladiator with the giant tires, the light bar, and the winch is part of the job. I drive clients through the backcountry to see land the way it really sits, and I've pulled more than a few people out of deep Park City snow on the way home.
It's also the best closing room in Summit County. Thirty minutes in the front seat and you will know more about the Wasatch Back than most buyers learn in a month of open houses.
See it from the seat
The best way to understand Wasatch Back land is from the front seat of the Gladiator, with the winch on and the coffee in the cup holder. We drive the roads, walk the ditches, and talk water rights where the water actually runs. Thirty minutes, no dust in your coffee.
