Bingham was once a thriving city in southwestern Salt Lake County, carved into a narrow canyon on the eastern face of the Oquirrh Mountains. The canyon takes its name from brothers Thomas and Sanford Bingham, who arrived in 1848 and initially used the land for livestock grazing and logging. The discovery of gold and silver ore in 1863 and the completion of a railroad to the canyon in 1873 set off a mining boom that ultimately shifted focus to the rich copper deposits that would define the area's legacy. At its peak in the 1920s, Bingham was home to approximately 15,000 residents spread across seven miles of steep canyon floor — a remarkably dense urban community of diverse ethnic neighborhoods including Carr Fork, Highland Boy, Copperfield, and dozens of smaller named communities reflecting the many immigrant groups who came to work the mines. The town was officially incorporated on February 29, 1904, and Daniel C. Jackling's organization of the Utah Copper Company in 1903 marked the turning point that would both make the city thrive and eventually seal its fate. As the open-pit Bingham Canyon Mine expanded through the mid-to-late twentieth century, it gradually consumed the entire townsite. Today no trace of the former city remains — swallowed entirely by what became one of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world. The surrounding Oquirrh Mountain terrain offers open land and dramatic canyon scenery for buyers seeking remote Salt Lake County acreage.

I purchased my first home about a year ago. Olivia was my agent, and she was AMAZING! We went from not even thinking we could buy, to living in our new home very quickly. The process was smooth and easy, and everything was explained! Thank you, Presidio, and thank you Olivia!!

I have known Olivia Pelton since 2018, when my husband and I moved here from Dallas, Texas. From the very beginning, she was efficient, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us find the right home. Not only did Olivia help us find exactly what we were looking for, but she continued to check in with us from time to time to see if there was anything else she could help with. She consistently went above and beyond in ways I had never experienced with a realtor before. During our home tours, Olivia would ask thoughtful questions of the contractors and builders that we would never have thought to ask ourselves. Her expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. Over the years, our professional relationship has grown into a lasting friendship. I wholeheartedly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about her clients. She is simply the best!

I have worked with countless Realtors for over 15 years. As a Realtor myself, I understand how incredibly important it is to have a sharp, intelligent professional on the other side of the contract you are working on. A top-tier professional knows that the goal is to achieve a win/win for both the buyer and the seller without compromising the fiduciary goals of your client. In the 15 years I have been a Realtor, I have seldom worked with a more professional, communicative, knowledgeable and competent agent as Olivia Pelton. She is a shining star in this industry and if I could work with her on every single transaction I handle, I would. If you're seeking an agent that will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction - whether it be as a buyer or seller, I can assure you that Olivia Pelton is one of the very best in our industry.

Olivia sold me my second house. She really takes time for her clients. She follows up and goes to bat for the wants I have! I love doing business with Olivia because I know that she’s as invested in my happiness as I am. I highly recommend working with Olivia! I’ve referred some peers to her and they are also happy with her! Olivia is fantastic! A friend recommended her and I do not regret it. For starters, when I first contacted her, she was AT DISNEYWORLD on vacation. She answered all my questions while she was enjoying a day with her son. I was very impressed that she was willing to do that! From then on, she would promptly reply to any text I sent, day or night. I was very happy to almost instantly get a reply! She made the transition to closing very smooth and assured that any questions I had, as a new time home buyer, were valid. She even brought up points that I had forgotten when I sat down with the buyer. I was so glad I had her by my side to assist in the process. I bought a new construction home and she showed up to EVERY meeting. The reps of Woodside were surprised she came because apparently, realtors don't typically go to those. I am so thankful she did. She pointed out flaws that I did not catch. During the final walkthrough, she truly advocated for me and my concerns. She ensured my concerns were valid and that the builders heard them. She went out of her way a few times to listen to me when I was upset over things that went wrong. Olivia did try her best every time where she could. We even used Ranlife's lender and Olivia even chatted with the lender when things went awry. My dad assisted throughout the way as well. He does own property and was impressed by Olivia. His previous realtors did not advocate for him and did not attend all the showings as Olivia did. Olivia is now the family realtor! I will recommend her to anyone I hear is looking for a realtor because I am so grateful I had her by my side! I will definitely be coming to her again in the future. To top it off, I had mentioned I was buying a house to get a dog! When I closed, she gifted a house warming crate that had dog supplies! I'm so impressed she remembered the dog comment!!

Olivia is amazing. Very respectful and proficient She helped us find a home and not just sell us a house. I'll definitely be coming back for any of my real-estate needs!

Olivia is and will be the best Realtor you can get. My wife and I had been looking for a home for several years, serious to semi-serious looking. Once we had our first meet, not only did we find a home, but her professionalism, her attitude and direction, her awesome personality and sense of humor, made this experience far better. I loved loved loved how she provided us with what we asked for. Too many time did I tell other Realtors that we had a specific pay range, yet still got home listings 300k-600k more than we could ever afford. Not with Olivia. Call her, call her yesterday! She works hard, be honest with her and she will get you into the home you were meant to be in like she did for us! We still look at our home and feel so grateful to be in it, then we text her and tell her! I highly recommend Olivia, and thanks again for our wonderful home!

Olivia goes above and beyond to make your real estate transaction fun, professional and worry free. I’ve worked with many different realtors over the years and Olivia is hands down the most hard working and professional realtor I’ve ever dealt with. Olivia blew me away with her attention to detail, insight, advice and knowledge of the market. Most importantly, she is an amazing person with a wonderfully positive personality. I enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her services.
