Client Success Stories

Lori Hart was a great agent in every way:  knowledgeable, smart,aware of the market and what  we could expect in selling a 115 year old house in downtown Bozeman. She was realistic and shared her strategies with us.  She always clearly explained our option and we discussed each one to come to a mutual conclusion.  She was fun to work with and had a good sense of lightness and sense of humor.But she really showed her knowledge and professional prowess at the end when the deal could have easily fallen apart over insurance and old wiring.  She knew who to call to get the help needed to get the sale to conclusion.  She worked tirelessly even while on vacation to make sure the sale went through.  She was truly impressive.

My family becomes quite emotional when they think about the Hart Real Estate family. You're right: Lori, Tim, and Annemarie are part of our family. They assisted us from the start of our journey when we moved to Bozeman (2020), Montana, from Brazil and decided to purchase our first home in the United States during the pandemic year. Lori was so accurate, knowledgeable, and helpful that my family felt comfortable with her team during a time when the entire globe was terrified and had no idea what would happen. However, with her divine assistance, we purchased our first home, and her family became a part of our journey. We lived nearly four years in Montana, and our fate took a different turn, making us sell our home once again with the unique Lori Hart's mastery and friendship. Lori, Tim, and Annemarie, you will be forever in our hearts. God bless you and your family. If you want a smart, caring, and brilliant realtor who will become a member of your family, Lori Hart is the one.

Tim and his team are true professionals and assisted us in every step of the acquisition and subsequent closing. I believe they went well beyond what one might expect from a broker and added measurable value to the transaction. Congratulations for a job well done!

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Tim Hart and the administration of Hart Real Estate. They helped us find our dream property for our family. Tim was very professional and facilitated a stress free search. He was patient with our process and acted timely when it counted, positioning us as buyers in the best possible way. They took care of all the details, so everything was seemless and easy enabling us to focus on running our small business. We highly recommend Tim Hart and Hart Real Estate.

Lori and Tim were referred to us by a friend when we decided to search for a home in Bozemanand we are grateful they did. Purchasing a home long-distance normally would be a dauntingtask. With the assistance of Hart Real Estate Solutions, we not only found a great house butthe process proceeded smoothly. Lori was a pleasure to work with during the search for ourMontana home. She listened as we told her what we were looking for in a home and thenmatched our wishes with those homes available. Once we selected the home, Lori’s team did agreat job of keeping us informed and on-track even though we were 1900 miles away. Wefound the Hart team to be extremely friendly, professional, honest, capable and willing to go theextra mile to overcome any obstacles. Lori, Tim and their team have our highest regard and wewould recommend them without hesitation.

"Tim went above and beyond to find us our home and worked tirelessly to help us get the offer accepted and get to closing..." "We cannot recommend Tim and Hart Real Estate Solutions enough! Tim took the time to get to know us and know what we were looking for in a home. Then, he went above and beyond to find us our home and worked tirelessly to help us get the offer accepted and get to closing. He and his team are kind, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Tim Hart is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with."

More happy clients! "We came to Lori with a very specific vision of what we were looking for and lack of urgency. She was up to the challenge and proceeded to impress us daily with her knowledge of the market, communication, patience and good humor. She looked at countless homes on our behalf, offered great guidance, embraced virtual options to ease the process, and fast tracked our offer and close when we finally did find 'the one'. Lori, Annemarie and Hart Real Estate team set the bar when it comes to real estate services and client engagement. From initial interview to close, they were an absolute delight to work with and we cannot recommend them highly enough. This was not our first purchase, and yet, Lori opened our eyes to the real value a skilled and savvy agent can provide. Thank you!"

Choosing Hart Real Estate was by far, the best decision I could have made! I moved the the Gallatin Valley from Colorado and purchased my first home. Relocating and being a first time home buyer was intimidating to say the least. Erica truly went above and beyond to help me navigate the market, understand the different options and guided me every step of the way.  

I truly felt like I had an advocate throughout the entire process and that made all the difference. From pointing out red flags with HOA’s to talking through the reality of the costs associated with a fixer upper. I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted in in a house, the area that would be the best fit or what to expect as a first time homebuyer. Erica’s knowledge of the market, neighborhoods and builders was second to none.

Once under contract, I had to head back to Colorado until closing. Erica and Annemarie handled everything in my absent. She handled the inspection, blue tape walk through and checked in on progress as we neared closing. It is very apparent she has a great reputation in the area. My lender and Erica were in lockstep the whole time which made for a smooth and easy purchase.

I am so thankful to Erica and Hart Real Estate for their guidance and superior service through out the entire process. I am so stoked to be in my home. I cannot recommend Erica and Hart Real Estate enough!!!

Thank you again!!! So grateful for you guys!!

Annemarie was a great agent and she helped us successfully purchase a condo in Bozeman, Montana. We were not physically in Montana for most of the time when searching for a home, yet Annemarie made the process easy for us by sending us video tours of many different properties until we found the desired one. The videos were thorough and detailed, clearly reflecting the pros and cons of each property. When drafting the buy-sell agreement, she was patient and professional in answering all of our questions (as we were first-time buyers and unfamiliar with the Bozeman area) and provided good advice on how to make our offer stand out and be accepted. Her good connection with various local resources (including lenders, inspectors, and other service companies) was also very valuable. Besides Annemarie, the entire Hart team was friendly and helpful during the process. Overall, we enjoyed our experience working with Annemarie and the Hart team and would like to recommend them to others.

When we decided to sell our home of 30 years in Bozeman Lori Hart came highly recommended from both our accountant and our attorney so we had some high expectations.  To say that Lori and her team exceeded those expectations would be an understatement.  
When we met Lori we were just starting to consider selling our home, with an indeterminate time line for doing so.  We asked if she would be with us for the long haul, and the answer was an unequivocal yes.  Not only did Lori work closely with us over the several years it took for us to make the decision to sell, but additionally she arranged for her daughter, Erica to take us under the property management arm of their company.  Erica and Lori overseeing our home gave us great peace of mind right through the sale. 
We relied on Lori to guide us through the process from start to finish as it had been almost 30 years since we had any real estate transactional experience.  We had complete trust in Lori's guidance and recommendations in preparing our home for listing right through negotiations for sale, a sale with which we were quite pleased.  
Lori is a wise, kind, deeply caring realtor who truly knows her business and who strives to understand and to support all of her clients.  Additionally she is absolutely brilliant along with a wonderful sense of humor to keep it all in balance.  Highest recommendation.

Tim and the Hart Team have helped us now with four purchases over the past 6 years, and before that Tim spent a year or two just helping us narrow down what we were looking for, strategize, and look at multiple possible properties along the way. On our most recent purchase, we found the property when Tim had just left town; time was of the essence, and he, Lori, Erika, and Annemarie stepped up and helped us move everything forward quickly, even though the timing was very inconvenient for them. They never once complained, instead working in the margins to make the transaction happen for us, and we are truly grateful! At each step of the buying process, the Hart team is proactive to communicate next steps, and what items to be aware of. They are excellent at providing resources and expertise without in any way influencing or pushing any certain decision. They are honest, straightforward, trustworthy folks, who truly care about the wellbeing of their clients. We recommend them over and over with full confidence! 
Josh and Kathy L.
My wife Terry and I just completed a sale of the original house we  bought through Hart Real Estate and the purchase of a new home through their agency as well.  In all our dealings with Tim and Lori over the last 5 years we have found them to be extremely helpful in every aspect of sale and purchase.  They always look out for their clients and go above and beyond expectations in every area.  They know how to ask the appropriate questions not only of us but of a potential seller/buyer as well.  They kept us well informed throughout the entire sale and purchase process.  They treated us with respect and thoughtfulness at all times.  They worked around our schedules at every turn.  We not only consider them to be the best real estate agents we have ever worked with, but we consider them friends as well.  We could not recommend them more highly to anyone we meet.  I would not hesitate to use them in the future and will tell everyone we can about their level of service and care.   Hart Real Estate is a top notch company that understands Montana and the people they serve.  Hats off the Harts.

I first met Tim Hart in 2008 in Big Sky. I had purchased a condo as an investment property but got caught in the recession. Tim was successful in executing a short sale for me and needless to say I was extremely grateful! 2 years ago I moved to Bozeman and when my daughter came to visit me this past August in my apartment she casually mentioned we should check out some condos while she was here. After looking up available properties and looking at a couple, we decided it was time to get an agent. We both knew right away that Tim was who we wanted to work with. Tim was right there with me through the whole process and made it a fun journey instead of what has the potential to be a frustrating endeavor. Hart Real Estate was there for me every step of the way, which includes his wife Lori, their daughter Ericka, and their amazing administrator/agent Annemarie. They make an amazing team, I wouldn’t use any one else. Many thanks to the amazing Hart Real Estate team!

"We were extremely impressed with Erica and Hart Real Estate throughout the process of searching for and buying our new home in Livingston, Montana. There are many reasons why we'd recommend Erica but here are our top 3:
1. Market Expertise and Business Acumen
Originally, we reached out to Erica because we were interested in renting in southwest Montana. We were hesitant to buy right away since we weren't too familiar with the market and hadn’t yet decided exactly which town to set down roots. However, just one week after calling, we were making an offer on a house because she found the PERFECT home for us in Livingston. Her experience with the area also really helped when there were multiple competing offers on the same property. She guided us through the negotiations and her advice ultimately resulted in the seller accepting our contract.
Throughout the buying process and even after moving in to our new home, we relied heavily on the local vendor contacts Hart Realty provided to us, all of which consistently offered us the best prices we could find in the area.
2. Stellar Customer Service and Communication
Since we were moving from out of state, we depended on Erica and Hart Realty for virtual tours, inspections, meetings with vendors, and virtual closing on the house. We were set to close within 29 days of signing the contract and even though there were some bumps along the way dealing with an HOA and out-of-state Lender, Hart Realty dealt with everything with ease. They were always one step ahead, following up as needed and constantly updating us on any recent developments, even if it fell outside of normal business hours.
3. Exceptional Organization 
Erica and Hart Realty used a shared drive that was constantly updated with all relevant documentation as we approached the closing date. This was extremely useful because as our lender requested information, we knew exactly where to go to find it. We especially loved the mobile drive and processes Hart used so we could easily review and sign documents through our phones while traveling. 
This was not our first home buying experience but it was certainly the best and most efficient experience we have ever had.  Thank you Erica and Hart Real Estate we are absolutely in love with our new home!
David & Amanda F.
I am honored to have worked with Lori Hart and the team at Hart Real Estate over the past four years in the sale of my house.  Lori hung in there with me through many scenarios, guiding me all the way.  I was very comfortable working with Lori and felt as if she had my back.  She certainly had my best interests in mind throughout everything I threw at her.  She truly went above and beyond when it came to working with me and the sale of my place.  It started with an interested buyer wanting me to do a Sale by Owner; then progressed to me wanting to stay in the area, but downsize; to finally staging, listing, and selling my home of 24 years, enabling me to move out of state.  Hart was able to furnish me with contacts and recommendations for any work I needed to make the move happen.  Not just Lori, but everyone I had the pleasure of working with at Hart was personable, yet very professional.  I would recommend them in a heartbeat if you are looking for an honest, trustworthy Real Estate company!
Thanks again for everything you did for me and for hanging in there with me through these last several years!

I can’t say enough positive things about the service that the Hart Real Estate Team performed on our behalf in our purchase of property in Philipsburg this summer. The personal service and time spent in helping us identify the ideal setting was simply outstanding. Tim went out of his way multiple times to dedicate time and expertise to our needs, resulting in a successful purchase of a great piece of property at a reasonable price, in a timely manner. I’d recommend he and the Hart Team 100% to future clients. Dan M.

We recently completed the purchase of a wonderful mountain home in Bridger Canyon, Bozeman Montana, represented by Tim Hart of Hart Real Estate.  We can’t say enough good things about Tim and his team!  At every turn he was thoughtful, hardworking, and went the extra mile to make sure that all I’s were dotted and T’s crossed!  Our transaction was complicated, and Hart is definitely the company you want navigating through any project.  Most of all this is a team of integrity and caring at the highest level.

The Hart Real Estate team and Tim Hart were true partners for us in quite a long journey of purchasing or home in Madison Valley. Tim truly understood or wishes and worked tirelessly to find a property. Then the real work began; four months from initial offer to close. Hart Real Estate was with us all the way; developing strategies and planning how to get where we wanted to be. When a Radon issue came up during inspection, Tim and his team dug in again and helped us navigate to a workable solution. We can’t thank them enough for the value they provided us. 

Dan and Janie B.
When we made the final decision to move to another state, it was difficult and scary. We had to find a realtor not only to find us a house, but also a realtor that would help us understand the area and help us to become familiar with it as well. We found that in Erica, and so much more. Throughout the process, Erica was extremely patient with us...and that alone we highly respected her. On top of that; she is professional, intelligent and always willing to help us. We are truly happy that we connected with Erica and truly thankful that she made the whole process of buying our new home the best experience we've ever had.

I cannot say enough about Tim, Lori, and the whole team at Hart Real Estate!  
Our journey of moving to Montana began several years ago.  My wife and I have had the plan to relocate to the Gallatin Valley for 27 years, we started to act on our desire, in earnest, a few years back, pre-Covid.  Tim helped make that desire a reality through patience and determination. What began with a simple phone conversation about wants, needs, expectations and desires, turned into a full-on roller coaster of changing economies and fast-paced markets. Tim helped us navigate the intricacies of doing a 1031 exchange, of which I had no experience.  Through it all, Hart Real Estate guided us through the entire process to purchase the property that checked off all the boxes that we deemed important. Tim and team have the great qualities of organization, attention to detail, market knowledge, timeliness, and in our case, patience.  An abundance of patience.  We highly recommend Tim and the team at Hart Real Estate!
Thank you, Tim, for guiding us through this life altering process and making our goals a reality!
Frank & Debbie O.
It was a tough decision to sell the first home we ever bought together . . . . the one we raised our children in, but we knew the time had come. We're so grateful for Lori & the team at Hart Real Estate, their help, their expertise, and their kindness.  We weren't just clients, we became friends.
Dave and Lalena J.
Buying your first home is a daunting task – buying your first home from across the country, in a crazy market, while expecting your first child is an even more daunting task – but Tim and his team at Hart Real Estate made it a breeze! They made my husband and I feel like part of the family while going above and beyond to help us find the perfect home. Their outstanding professionalism, commitment to transparent business practice, willingness to answer questions, and overall responsiveness made purchasing a home from 1,600 miles away as smooth as a process as I could’ve wanted. Tim and his team were dedicated to meeting our unique requirements for a home, flexible with showings (in-person and virtual) and very knowledgeable about the area and the market over all. I highly recommend Hart Real Estate for all of your real estate needs in the Greater Bozeman area!
Skyler & Aaron C.
I knew working with the Hart Real Estate Team was the right choice from the start. Tim went out of his way to understand what we were looking for and found properties that met our needs quickly. Since we were looking from out of state, Tim showed us the properties virtually. He went above and beyond and showed us our favorite house twice, including pictures and videos that we could look back on. Annemarie took the lead on the paperwork once we had a contract. She was highly professional and a pleasure to work with. We were in great hands with the Hart Real Estate Team! 
Dan & Annie C.
We first met Tim and team when we were looking for a rental in Bozeman as we made the move from the East Coast. We were able to secure a short-term rental through the H3 team and started the house search for our own place with Tim – and he was great to work with! We are first time homeowners now, and Tim was very patient as he took the time to explain the process to us and answer all our questions. Tim really listened to our needs and wants and sent any houses that fit the bill to us. He made himself available for home tours and check ins, and kept our nerves calm when the stress would rise. We luckily found a great home that checked our boxes and he was by our side the entire time as we took every step in the process. We are so thankful for him and the Hart team!

"Lori was always available when we had questions or concerns. She is forthright, upbeat, and extremely knowledgeable about the 'workings' of the real estate market..." "My husband and I owned a mountain home in the foothills east of Bozeman. After 15 years of enjoying it, we decided to sell our home 2021. Hart Real Estate Solutions was recommended to us by a good friend. Our house sat on 20 acres of lodgepole and Ponderosa pine forestland, with a meadow below and spectacular views of the Bridger Mountains. On seeing our home, Lori Hart loved it and the land it was on, and from then on we felt that we were in good hands…While homes in town were “flying off the shelves”, Lori was candid with us from the beginning, letting us know that it would be somewhat more challenging to sell our home because of its out-of-town and forested location. Lori made many good suggestions before listing our home. Giving us “the reins”, she let us decide the parameters for the sale. As time passed, we ‘learned’ that we needed to amend our parameters, and indeed, she was “spot on”! No sooner did we make the changes, than the people who fell in love with our home and land appeared. Our sale went through within 6 weeks…without a problem! Lori was always available when we had questions or concerns. She is forthright, upbeat, and extremely knowledgeable about the 'workings' of the real estate market. We very highly recommend Lori Hart and her staff. They were always supportive and “walked us through" the process of selling our home from start to finish."
Frank and Linda C.

Getting up in years with a downsizing/consolidation on the horizon we had been asking around for a good realtor recommendation. Hart Real Estate, Lori specifically, was highly recommended by several parties for a number of reasons. I set up a meet and greet with her and we discussed the possible future listing of our home property and some land we owned south of Bozeman. Lori couldn’t have been more accommodating. Every question and concern was addressed to my satisfaction along with offering a multitude of recommendations and advice concerning where to from here. I found Lori extremely personable and easy to communicate with. Perhaps most importantly I felt no pressure to do anything until I was ready. Several months later we decide to test the market with the land. I contacted Lori, we discussed listing price and the rational behind it, and from there on it was all systems go. The property was listed, an offer was accepted 10 days later and we closed on the property 12 days after that. And all with minimum involvement and effort on my part. Lori handled everything. We couldn’t have been happier. I would not hesitate to recommend Lori and the Hart agency. Rest assured all future real estate business we may have will go with her.

"At every turn, successful or not, we felt supported and hopeful. The expertise and professionalism of the team at Hart was impressive..." "Our experience with Hart Realty has been the smoothest real estate journey we ever taken. From beginning to closing the Team at Hart Realty listened to our needs and wishes as though we were an integral part of the team. At every turn, successful or not, we felt supported and hopeful. The expertise and professionalism of the team at Hart was impressive to say the least. We highly recommend them!"

“We relied on Lori heavily and to say she delivered is the understatement of the century. Her genuine care for her clients, work ethic, and integrity are unmatched...” "We moved to Montana after living abroad for 8 years. Lori was an invaluable resource as we set out to buy our first home in a new state, in culture shock, and in a tricky market. Lori listened to our desires and she was available to help us navigate every step of the process. We relied on her heavily and to say she delivered is the understatement of the century. Her genuine care for her clients, work ethic, and integrity are unmatched. We will forever be grateful to her and the entire team and consider her a friend. She will always be our first call for any home buying or selling needs. We cannot recommend her enough!"
Katy and Cody J.
 Buying our first home was an exciting and emotional journey for our family. As we started our relocation plans to Bozeman, some very good friends of ours recommended Hart Real Estate. From the very beginning, Tim met us with warmth, knowledge, and an incredibly attentive ear. He met with us online before we came to Montana and gave us an excellent overview of the housing market in the Gallatin Valley. Once we arrived, he truly went above and beyond to help us learn about the market, see what our financial options were, and then guided us every step of the way to home ownership. Just to give a few examples: he trooped around the neighborhood on a cold winter evening with our 4-year old so that we could view a potential house without distraction. He crawled through every crawl space of all the homes we visited and helped us know what to look for. He kept our spirits hopeful when our first two offers were not successful, and he rejoiced with us when our third offer was accepted. When we were near closing and feeling overwhelmed with all the details, he stayed on the phone with us and patiently answered every single question. Our son loved our visits with "Mr. Tim" and continues to talk about him frequently. Truly, Tim helped to navigate all three of us through a major transition in our lives, and he did it with calm and empathy and incredible knowledge. He knew how to balance being our advisor and guide while giving us the space to make the decisions that were best for our family. We are incredibly thankful to the entire team at Hart Real Estate for the kind and capable way they navigated us through the complicated process of home ownership!
David & Caroline K.
Annemarie truly provided a wonderful experience finding our home! It was smooth, simple, and she knew what I had in mind. She was very communicative and made sure everything was done in a timely manner. We could not have asked for a more smoother process or more beautiful home. We appreciate everything the Hart Real Estate team has done for us! We would highly recommend Annemarie to anyone looking for their forever home. 
Jessica B.
Josh and Cassie K."Erica was overly helpful in assisting us in purchasing our new home. She always returned our phone calls and answered our questions in a timely manner. Her advice that she offered when we bid on the house was spot on. She was willing to be flexible and inconvenience herself often on our behalf. She was also willing to help us resolve concerns about our home after the purchase was completed. I would recommend the Hart real estate company to anyone who is looking to purchase a new home. "
Josh and Cassie K.
"So friendly and so honest. We will use Tim Hart for all our commercial renting needs..." "Tim and his crew helped us find renters for our commercial storage units. He not only found renters right away, but got us more rent money, than we were charging. So friendly and so honest. We will use Tim Hart for all our commercial renting needs. Thank you, Tim!"
Ken H.
More happy clients! "Being first time home sellers we weren't sure what to expect or how hard it would be. We met with a few realtors to find the right fit, and Tim and Lori immediately stood out. They were incredibly knowledgeable and gave us lots of resources to help guide our decision. After we signed with them, Lori helped us set up stagers, contractors for anything needed, photography, everything! Brooke and I were amazed at how easy the process was. Once we had offers (and we had a lot!), they helped us weed out anything subpar to find the perfect fit. We couldn't have had a better experience selling our first home."
West & Brooke E.
"Lori was responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly from start to finish..." "My wife and I enjoyed working with Lori Hart and her team. She was responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly from start to finish. We highly recommend her."
Joe and Marty C.

"We could not have chosen a better Real Estate company, or a better agent. Hart Real Estate Solutions and Lori Hart did a wonderful job of marketing our home and bringing us a great contract. If you are considering listing your property with them, I would urge you to do so."
Steve and Cindy C.
" It is why Tim and Lori are highly regarded... I don’t think I could have selected more capable, knowledgeable, and hard-working brokers to represent me and my home..." "Tim, Lori, and their team are supremely professional. At the very start of the process, they took time to understand why my house is very special. They offered guidance about renovations that would add value, and assisted in finding capable contractors (no easy feat in Bozeman these days!). They worked with me for about seven months while I processed the decision to sell and undertook the renovation work. They collected and updated market data to help me determine an appropriate listing price. When I finally listed the property, I quickly received several offers. Tim walked me through the offers with great care, helped me select what we decided was the best offer, and then helped with the communications through the closing. It is clear to me why Tim and Lori are highly regarded in the Gallatin County real estate brokerage community, and with very good reason. Honestly, I don’t think I could have selected more capable, knowledgeable, and hard-working brokers to represent me and my home."
Lucia R.
"We can't say enough about Tim and his associate, Annemarie, and the rest of the team at Hart Real Estate Associates. Their integrity, service, and professional knowledge are unmatched..." "We were really blessed to work with Hart Real Estate Associates. We felt like first-time buyers when we unexpectedly decided to purchase a condo in Bozeman, Montana. It had been 30 years since our purchase of a home, and on top of that, we were new to the area. So, we needed a lot of assistance. We are so thankful that Dave Ramsey recommended Tim Hart of Hart Real Estate Associates. It is not often that you find people with a teacher's heart. We should know because we are lifelong educators. Tim has a teacher's heart and was great about teaching and explaining each part of the purchasing process. He made the terminology very understandable as he educated us about the contract signing, inspection, and closing processes. Tim is an attentive listener and an incredible communicator. We told him what features we were looking for in a home and what we didn’t want. His professional knowledge of the Bozeman area allowed us to narrow down neighborhoods quickly. He knew exactly where to find homes that we were interested in fitting our requirements and budget. At one point, a condo came on the market that we were very interested in, but we had just left town, so Tim gave us a virtual tour. He did such an excellent job going slow and showing us all the details of the home. He gave an unbiased opinion of the conditions of the carpet, walls, windows, doors, and cabinets. Tim even crawled down into the home's crawl space to show us the moisture barrier and furnace condition. We felt like it was an extensive tour of this location! Once we found the place we wanted, Tim's knowledge of the real estate market was extremely helpful and greatly appreciated. We thought the condo might be overpriced, so Tim reviewed the comps and durations of other condos on the market and then shared his findings with us. He counseled us and helped us place a fair offer on the condo. He put in our offer right away, and his negotiating skills later came into play as we narrowed it down to the agreed final price. We are very thankful for Tim’s skills in this area. Tim’s responsiveness was terrific from the start, and most importantly for us, through the closing of our home. Tim was always available when we needed advice, had questions about the house or neighborhood, or just had general questions. He is a fantastic communicator and was willing to make sure that we understood the process and next steps. Tim has a vast network of home improvement contacts within the area, and we have made use of them and been thrilled with all his contacts in the real estate industry, such as home inspectors and mortgage loan officers. Every reference he gave us turned out to be a top-notch professional. We can't say enough about Tim and his associate, Annmarie, and the rest of the team at Hart Real Estate Associates. Their integrity, service, and professional knowledge are unmatched. We highly recommend Hart Real Estate Associates for your home-buying needs in the Bozeman area!"
Jeff and Jaci H.

"My wife and I set out to find a realtor that was both highly knowledgeable and relational. We wanted not only be represented, but also to be understood. Tim sat with us and truly listened to our wants and desires. We never felt like being out of state was a problem and Tim always communicated with us clearly and honestly. The process was not without complications but Tim coached us and guided us through each step. In the end everything was completed to our full satisfaction. We now consider the Hart’s our friends."

"We met Tim the spring of 2012 and he showed us several homes and helped get into the one we lived in for 9 years. I kept in touch with Tim as we saw each other in the gym over those 9 years. I believe in 2019 I mentioned to Tim that Kelly and I were thinking of moving closer to our Grandson in Cut Bank. Tim kept in contact with me, providing info on sales in our area of 4-Corners. We met with the Harts in early May to start the process. Lori was handling our sale; she explained the process they used and the time frame we could expect. Our house went live in mid-June on a Thursday, we had offers by the second day at and above asking. Lori and her staff kept us updated and handled any issues that came up during the negotiations. We closed on August 6th as scheduled. Lori and Tim’s advice and input on the sale and the purchase of our new home was greatly appreciated."
Mark and Kelly J.
"Tim and Annemarie were very patient, knowledgeable and timely with our MANY questions..." "Tim, Annemarie and all the personnel at Hart Real Estate Solutions were top notch. We found their service through Dave Ramsey as an Endorsed Local Provider (ELP) and were very happy to work with a company who share our families values. Tim and Annemarie were very patient, knowledgeable and timely with our MANY questions. They are professional, thorough and kind. We would not have any hesitation recommending them or working with them in our next venture!"
Jamie and Tammy W.
"Tim and Annemarie bent over backwards to make sure all the boxes were checked and that the transaction went through smoothly..." "I have had the pleasure of working with Hart Real Estate Solutions on two purchases now, our personal home and an investment property. Tim and Annemarie bent over backwards to make sure all the boxes were checked and that the transaction went through smoothly. They are trustable folks to work with, guiding me towards properties that they knew would fit our needs. I would definitely work with them again in the future and highly recommend them for any real estate needs."

"Tim always took the time to answer all of our questions as first time home buyers..." "Tim and the team were fantastic to work with in every way. Tim always took the time to answer all of our questions as first time home buyers. He was always so excited and enthusiastic to meet with us and accommodate our schedules. The team made all the paperwork such an easy process and we are very blessed to have worked with Hart real estate crew. We love our neighborhood and look forward to all the memories we will make in our brand new home. "

"Tim was easy to work with, very organized, made it personable and the overall process easy...." "Jeff and I moved from CA to the Bozeman area and needed to find a house big enough for our family of 5 and we needed to find it fairly quickly. We found Tim through Dave Ramsey. We found Tim to be very knowledgeable about the area not just in real estate but schools, restaurants, and the overall surrounding areas of Belgrade, Manhattan, and Livingston. Tim was easy to work with, very organized, made it personable and the overall process easy. We felt Tim really took the time to listen to what we wanted and when we changed our mind he went with the flow. The team at Hart Real Estate Solutions was easy to work with and would recommend this team to anyone."
Jeff and Buffy C.

"We have pleasantly experienced a home buy and a home sell with Tim and Lori. The experience was so grand that we have decided to use them for our commercial real estate needs. You will find them to be pleasant, hardworking, knowledgeable, current on the market conditions, able to make difficult things happen, a true partner in your real estate transaction, and eager to please on every level. I assure you will have no regrets."

"We met multiple realtors and found Tim to be the most genuine and informative of all. Tim has always given us advice that was in our best interest..." "Our home buying journey started in 2015 when my wife and I moved from India to Bozeman MT and decided to buy our first house. We met multiple realtors and found Tim to be the most genuine and informative of all. Tim has always given us advice that was in our best interest. I specifically remember an incident where we were convinced to buy a house but Tim didn't agree. He noticed a problem that wasn't much of a concern for us then. He could have easily closed the deal but kept looking for a better house we deserved. Later when we bought a different house we realized why what Tim suggested was so important. Listening to Tim was a good decision and we were saved from buying the wrong house. Tim helped us find our dream house in a nice neighborhood. We lived there for 5 years and when it came to selling the house in 2020 only one name came to our mind - Tim. This time Tim and Lori both helped us in selling the house. They made a great effort and made the whole process seamless. We just moved to Texas but when we think of our old Bozeman home, and the great time spent there, we always remember them. Thank you to Tim, Lori, and the entire team."

"Lori Hart had our best interests in mind from day one... from communication to helping us navigate a very complicated offer, Lori was always there for us..." "Working with Hart Real Estate Solutions was an enjoyable experience! Our agent Lori Hart had our best interests in mind from day one of the process. From communication to helping us navigate a very complicated offer on our home, Lori was always there for us. We never felt pressured to make a decision we were unsure about. We always felt Lori presented all our options in an honest way. We had originally thought about selling our home on our own. Looking back, we’re glad we made the decision to go with Hart Real Estate Solutions as there were unforeseeable obstacles we encountered that would have been very difficult to navigate without Lori’s knowledge and expertise. Thanks again to Lori and the whole team!"

"This is when Lori Hart came into the process - what a find! She was amazing – so helpful, knowledgeable. But most of all, she cared about us and what we wanted..." "We were considering selling property south of Bozeman and buying something newer with less maintenance requirements in Bozeman proper. We pursued this online as we were in Oregon. There were 12 properties to check out when we returned - no problem. Driving by the properties we quickly discovered we didn’t like any of them. This is when Lori Hart came into the process - what a find! She was amazing – so helpful, knowledgeable. But most of all, she cared about us and what we wanted. She helped us find the perfect property for our needs. Only problem was several others felt the same way. We had not sold our property so she gave us options on what to do. She knew how to get things done. We were hesitant but through her encouragement (She knew how badly we wanted this property) we persisted. Through her experience of submitting a bid in this competitive market and suggesting options and her great reputation with other realtors in the area, we succeeded. We know if we had any other realtor this would not have happened. Thank you Lori Hart and the whole Hart Real Estate team for helping us get our forever home."
Sharon and Tom T.
"Working with Lori and Hart Real Estate Solutions has been our top experience with any realtor across the country..." "Working with Lori and Hart Real Estate Solutions has been our top experience with any realtor across the country! Lori took the time to pay attention to minute details and follow through with everything from the listing to repairs. Everything was done in a calm, timely manner. All of the people she works with from the office to outside repairs were all superb and professional. I can also say that Lori continued to be a support to us after we sold our home and had difficulties in a new city. I value her recommendations and comments and know that even now we could call on her for help! Cannot recommend this business enough!"
Mary and Keith K.
"She was always professional, was available or called us back right away, and helped solve problems as they came up. ..." "Even though my house wasn’t perfect, and could be called a hard sell, Lori Hart was persistent and made it happen! She was always professional, was available or called us back right away, and helped solve problems as they came up. She did a great job!"
Allison D.

"We worked with Tim and Hart Real Estate Solutions to find our new family home in Bozeman. We couldn’t have picked a more challenging time for our move, but we also couldn’t have found better support in finding our dream home. We changed jobs, requiring us to relocate our family cross-country, and before we could even start, the COVID pandemic hit. Instead of the normal stresses of finding a new home, we now had to find a new place across the nation during a complete lockdown. We were scared, but the support and process were flawless. Tim helped us find the right home in an extremely constrained and competitive market. He walked us through options remotely and then in person. Along the way, Tim guided us away from some bad choices we would have made and towards what turned out to be the perfect home for us. Tim patiently explained Montana real estate laws and local market specifics and helped us through an expedited closing process without any hiccups. The seller was a little tricky at times, and Tim gave us great advice on optimizing our negotiation strategy. We highly recommend Tim and his team, and should we ever look for another property in the area, we would surely enlist Tim as our agent again."

Hart Real Estate: Happy Clients & Successful Transactions are what we do!
"Absolutely amazing company! I can tell without a doubt that they truly care about their clients. Tim helped my brother and I buy our first house and the amount of time and effort he put it was appreciated very much. 10/10 would recommend!"
Matt and Eric S.

"Thank you Hart Real Estate for making my purchase a seamless and comfortable transaction. All of the concerns of buying a property were addressed by you prior to closing. You took care of me like it was your purchase. I very much appreciate your attention to detail and persistence with a difficult owners association."

"Lori is the first realtor we have worked with who is worth the commission... a testament to her professionalism, knowledge/experience, counsel, and hard work!" "The sale of our home in Bozeman was via long distance. Looking on-line to find a realtor, Lori popped because she was previously a lawyer (which we saw as a plus), her transaction log was healthy and Hart Realty looked like a well-managed firm. After interviewing three local realtors by phone, it was evident during Lori’s presentation that she had an excellent handle on the market and was clear on both what our house offered and the type of buyer it would attract. Since our neighborhood is so stable, there were no neighborhood comps. Lori was creative in looking at similar age and style homes thinking that a buyer might look for this style across neighborhoods. She is direct, a prudent risk taker, articulate and patient. We required full service from our realtor. Lori understood that she would have to oversee the entire transaction: from staging to the fix-it lists. Because our house went under contract within a day and closing would be within a month, she needed to have access to reasonably priced contractors who would show up and get the big and little jobs done. Lori is exceptional! She didn’t hesitate sharing her opinions (after listening to us first) as she guided us through negotiations. The highest compliment was made by my husband in the middle of the negotiation: “Lori is the first realtor we have worked with who is worth the commission. I don’t mind paying it.” We had sold four houses before this transaction and weren’t novices in dealing with realtors. My husband’s comment is a testament to Lori’s professionalism, knowledge/experience, counsel and hard work!

"...very thorough in helping us find exactly what we were looking for, communicated every step of the way and really simplified the entire home buying process...." Dealing with Hart to buy my new condo was a great experience! They were very thorough in helping us find exactly what we were looking for, communicated every step of the way and really simplified the entire home buying process. We got a lot of very helpful literature from them and can't thank them enough for all their help!
Pareece J.
"The comfort level you maintained for us despite the distance and the uncertainty added to the distance by the pandemic..." Thanks again for a wonderful home buying experience. I think the biggest two things for us were as follows: The comfort level Tim and the Hart Team maintained for us despite the distance and the uncertainty added to the distance by the pandemic and our inability to travel due to the Defense Department’s stop movement order. We’ve purchased two other homes prior to our new home in Bozeman and both times our purchasing agent began the process working for us and they were our advocates and confidants prior to contracting, but in both our other two experiences our agents followed the classic trend of steadily drifting away from working for us after a buy-sell was signed and each day we got closer to closing they worked more and more for the sellers...we never felt like we experienced that “normal” phenomenon with you and your team and that says and means A LOT to us! Thanks again Hart team!"
Lance and Kim R.
"Tim made a great effort to make all parts of the transaction as simple and easy as possible..." "Tim and the team at Hart Real Estate went above and beyond to help sell my father’s property in a quick and efficient manner. Tim did a thorough job evaluating the current market trends and understanding the current issues that could be beneficial or challenging to selling the property. As neither my father or I live in state, Tim made a great effort to make all parts of the transaction as simple and easy as possible. Thanks Tim and team!"

"I've been in the real estate business for 40 years and dealt with many real estate companies. I can unequivocally say that Hart Real Estate is among the best I have dealt with...." "Hart Real Estate Solutions was organized and proactive selling and closing on the sale of my property. I have been in the real estate business for 40 years and dealt with many real estate companies. I can unequivocally say that Hart Real Estate is among the best I have dealt with. Since I am in Virginia, Tim even shoveled the snow off the sidewalk because the purchaser made that a condition of the sale. I highly recommend Hart Real Estate."

"Their knowledge and professionalism throughout the process of either buying or selling is best in class..." "I just completed my fourth real estate deal with Hart Real Estate Solutions and couldn't be more thrilled. Their knowledge and professionalism throughout the process of either buying or selling is best in class. These guys know Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley and will no doubt work hard to accomplish your goals.""

"Tim consistently "over-delivered" on his commitment to us. He definitely knows the market and operates both ethically and tirelessly. .." "Buying & Selling Real Estate is always a bit tricky. (Read: Stressful!!) And since we were 2700 miles away----that added another entire level of concerns. Tim and his team immediately provided a friendly, professional, detail-oriented approach that helped us to quickly narrow down our "Target Market". The market in Bozeman moves quickly and Tim wasted no time in getting inside and sending us both pictures and video feeds of every property that was potentially a good match. I've had a lifetime of experience in working w/ "Construction Supplies". So, It was a HUGE Added Plus for us that Tim knows most of the builders and the quality of both their workmanship AND the quality of the materials that they used during construction. [In my experience, most home-owners (and Realtors) simply don't know what to look for "beneath the surface" of any particular build]. Tim was spot-on in pointing out where upgrades were utilized and, also, where they were not. I owned a Sales Agency based out of the greater NYC area for almost 25 years; So, I've hired my fair share of sales professionals. Tim consistently "over-delivered" on his commitment to us. He definitely knows the market and operates both ethically and tirelessly. In Real Estate, everything from the advertising to the--all-important--final appraisal matters. Any misstep can derail a deal if not handled timely, professionally and properly. No detail was overlooked, right up to the final walk-thru, with this team. Give them a call and see for yourself why Hart Real Estate Solutions consistently ranks as one of the top rated Real Estate firms in Bozeman. Great job!"
Peter

"Buying and selling in the Bozeman market doesn't need to be a challenge! Lori and the entire team at Hart Real Estate Solutions make the buying and selling experience easier in an already challenging market. We sold our condo and bought a house with Lori and she navigated us through both transactions with our best interest always at the top of mind. During the sale of our condo, Lori advised us on the best price to be competitive yet reasonable. Within 2 weeks we had a full price offer. While representing us as buyers, Lori advocated for us every step of the way. We couldn't be more pleased with having Lori represent us and couldn't speak more positively of our real estate experience."
Kevin and Carolynn S.

"We have now worked with Hart Real Estate, and specifically with Tim and Lori, for 4 different transactions in the Gallatin Valley. We highly recommend their services and would definitely work with them again, due to their high ethical standards, expertise and experience. We sold a rental house and bought a rental condo using a 1031 exchange with the help of both Lori and Tim. We also bought into a development for our new house with Tim. Our last transaction was the sale of our personal home, which we had owned for 25 years. Lori provided some essential, objective advice on changes we could make to increase the value of the house. She helped us with the prep and staging, and the actual sale was seamless and smooth due to the experience and relationships with other realtors that Lori brought to the deal. We highly recommend Hart Real Estate as a professional, experienced, ethical, and yet personal and helpful group that can help guide you through any real estate transaction."

"I would like to thank Tim for his hard work, level of commitment and patience throughout our entire relocation experience..." "Moving from Georgia to Montana is a very big move, especially with short time constraints. As a licensed realtor in Georgia, I knew how important it was to find the right Buyers Agent to help my wife and I find the right property for us. After doing some online research and contacting Tim Hart, we chose Tim Hart and the Hart Real Estate Solutions Team in Bozeman. We are so pleased we did. Tim listened and understood our needs and the timeline we had to work with. After making offers on several properties, we came to terms on one before we flew back to Atlanta to prepare for the move. Unfortunately the home inspection revealed the property had issues we did not want to deal with. So now the search is back on. My wife was to begin her new job in about two weeks and fortunately found temporary housing until we could identify another property. Tim continued to show my wife properties and even video taped and commentated the viewing's on the homes we liked. The video made a tremendous difference over just having the pictures, since I could not be here to personally view the homes. We soon found and closed on a wonderful home that meets our needs and has beautiful views. I highly recommend Tim and Lori Hart and their team at Hart Real Estate Solutions. The level of professionalism, knowledge, and integrity is unsurpassed. They are a valuable resource for area information for anyone looking to relocate to the Bozeman area. I would like to thank Tim for his hard work, level of commitment and patience throughout our entire relocation experience."

"As soon as I reached out to Tim Hart I knew that he was a special kind of realtor and I felt very fortunate..." "As soon as I reached out to Tim Hart I knew that he was a special kind of realtor and I felt very fortunate. I was looking to move to Bozeman from Anchorage, Alaska, a stressful prospect given the distance and how fast homes sell in Bozeman. Tim was always very quick to get back to me and to preview homes that looked promising. I always felt like he was looking for the home that was right for me, not for a quick sale. This was so important in a high-pressure real estate situation! My circumstances changed and I ended up buying a home in Washington. But it's still my dream to have a place in Montana, and it's great to know who to turn to when the time is right."
Alyson

"Tim and his team are “really good people” is the best way we can say it. Our story with Tim and his team goes back several years. Our purchase has been more of a story rather than an event. We started with the Hart team when a previous realtor advised us that she had to get out of the business because of a health reason. Tim helped us look at more than two dozen properties in person and more than that online. We found our perfect spot one cool rainy day while looking at properties with Tim. It was a great place in the mountains and was an adventure getting to, we had found it! Tim and his team went to work right away helping us make an offer, securing a contract, booking inspections and referring lenders. The ball was rolling, and it felt really good! We booked our travel plans for closing and began counting the days. Then we hit the wall, the inspection came back with several major issues and the deal was finished. Since we already had our travel plans booked for closing, we decided to keep them. It was kind of a melancholy trip, but we used it to once again wear Tim out.  A side note: Tim has showed some properties to just Mary and I, but other times during the summer it was our whole family which adds another dynamic which he dealt with very well! Back to our story. We found another place that we really liked, and put an offer in. We were unsuccessful and were really having second thoughts on the whole process. We backed away for a bit and even looking online, but stayed in touch with Tim.  Enter 2019: we make a trip to Bozeman again to search. This year we were able focus on what the Bozeman market had to offer and what we wanted in a mountain home. After looking at several more properties Tim helped us make another offer, and after some negotiation we were under contract again! We all held our breath as the home inspections were performed and some of the post inspection repairs were completed. Because of my work schedule, only Mary was able to go to closing. Tim and his team jumped into action to get it arranged with the title company. We had made it, the deal is complete, and we now have our home. Many thanks to the whole team at Hart Real Estate Solutions who truly guided us on our journey. Thank you, Tim."

"It’s refreshing to work with kind people who do their work with such integrity..." "We are return clients of Hart Real Estate. We had a very positive experience buying our property with them, so when it came time to sell it, we were very comfortable working with Tim and Lori again. As we live out of state, they both went the extra mile to make the process easy. It’s refreshing to work with kind people who do their work with such integrity."

"We could not be more pleased with Tim Hart and all the staff at Hart Realty..." "We could not be more pleased with Tim Hart and all the staff at Hart Realty. It took us a long time to find the perfect house. After two offers and countless showings, Tim stayed patiently on task. He never lost patience or became discouraged. When we finally found our Montana home, Tim’s attention to detail was second to none, especially since we were 15 hrs away! We would not hesitate to recommend him and feel we were very fortunate to have such a great agent."

"Tim Hart and his team at Hart Real Estate Solutions are the best buyer’s real estate company we have ever had and we have had quite a few..." "Tim Hart and his team at Hart Real Estate Solutions are the best buyer’s real estate company we have ever had and we have had quite a few. We move a lot and we have bought and sold many houses over the years. We were planning on buying a house sight unseen and we needed a local real estate agent who was friendly, professional, and gets the job done – what we didn’t need was a salesman. Based on the on-line reviews, we contacted Tim Hart’s team – the glowing reviews were not wrong. Tim helped us find a house, kept us informed of local market conditions, put a deal together for us including a tricky rent-back agreement. After the seller moved out, Tim helped us keep the house in tip-top shape until we could get moved in. Tim Hart and his team at Hart Real Estate Solutions really took care of us - we highly recommend you let them help you too."
James and Cheryl M.
"Tim was very hands on and a great advocate for us..." "California natives, looking to relocate.  We owned a home in Thompson Falls, for 6 years and loved Western Montana.  We were looking for a town with great restaurants, great music and a small town feel, having come from a rural northern California town of 1,300. We are outdoors, livestock, small town folk.  When we started looking at Zillow, we found a link for Hart Real Estate: read the reviews and gave Tim a call.  We couldn't be happier.  Tim and his team showed us 14 properties in 2 days, as we were short on time.  We looked at one three times and went for it!  Tim was very hands on and a great advocate for us, being 1,400 miles away.  This was not an easy negotiation, but Tim stuck by us and made the sale as simple as possible."
Michael and Shanna B.
 
Once again, Tim Hart & his team helped us find our next purchase in Bozeman.  As always, it was a pleasure working with Tim.  He continually goes out of his way to make sure you find what you need and the Hart team all contribute to make sure the process goes smoothly.  His extra attention to detail, including videos for out-of-town clients, is wonderful!  The BEST choice for real estate services in the area!
Ron & Sandy P.

Coming from out of state, we were looking for a realtor to not only help us find a home, but help educate us about the Bozeman market and the Gallatin Valley. Well, we found them. The Hart team was generous with their time and showed us a wide variety of options. We felt Tim listened closely to what we were asking, and that we received honest answers to our questions. He set us up with online searches so we could take our time reviewing homes and lots. As we learned more, Tim helped us refine our search until we were able to make a purchase. Working with Tim and his team made the work of finding a place in Bozeman an enjoyable experience. Yes, they are knowledgeable, and yes, they are accommodating. But they are also professional, responsive, detail-oriented, and a whole lot of fun. Would we recommend Hart Real Estate to someone hoping to purchase in Bozeman? We would, and we do.

" made us feel welcome to the Bozeman community..."

We give Hart Real Estate Solutions our highest recommendation. Everyone at Hart is friendly, responsive and concerned for your best interests. Tim understands market trends and has a great eye for properties that might fit the client. Lori handled the details of our deal with precision and persistence, and has a gift for drafting terms. Her knowledge of new construction was especially beneficial to us as first-time buyers of a new home. Tim and Lori are generous with their time and made us feel welcome to the Bozeman community.

Pete and Elizabeth A.
friendly, respectful, and responsive Hart Real Estate Solutions is wonderful! We put our Bozeman house on the market in the summer of 2018. Lori regularly provided us with current data to help us better understand the Bozeman real estate market, consulted with us closely on how to renovate and price the house, and then marketed the house extensively and kept us informed regarding viewer reactions. She and the entire HartRES crew were friendly, respectful, and responsive. And we sold the house more quickly than we had anticipated! I highly recommend them, we had an all-around very positive experience!
Leslie H.

This was our second time working with Tim and Lori Hart and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!  Lori helped us list our house, get it under contract with a full price - cash offer, AND closed in less than 4 weeks!  She made the process very simple and stress free on our end.  We were very pleased with Hart Realty
Luke K. and Alicia R.
" we felt confident in Hart Real Estate " As out-of-state buyers with very specific search criteria, we felt confident in Hart Real Estate to find the perfect property for our needs. Our agent was very diligent through the process, friendly, warm, and professional. It was a great first experience as we begin our new Montana adventure.
Will and Sarah S.
" are happy with the guidance and support we recevied during the entire process " From the first moment that we contacted Hart Real Estate we were impressed. Lori took the time to hand deliver the information packet to our home outside of Belgrade, this is service not often seen anymore. The packet very professionally laid out the services the agency provides and the explanation of commissions was something we had not seen as clearly laid out at the very beginning. During our initial meeting with Lori, her direction on deciding on a price for our home, suggestions for getting the property ready to show, and recommendations for when to post the listing, made that part of the process far less stressful than we have experienced in the past when selling previous homes. Throughout the selling process Kalene kept us informed of showings that were scheduled and Lori gave us feedback from potential buyers after they had toured our home. Once we had an offer and were under contract, Kalene and Lori kept us updated at each step along the way. Even when things didn’t go exactly as planned with the sale, Lori was able to keep us calm and reassured us that the sale would happen! Even though we had to move out of state before the sale finalized, we were still kept updated often and the house sale was able to close just as if we were still in Gallatin County. We are very happy with the guidance and support we received during the entire process and would recommend the Hart Real Estate Team to anyone looking for ethical, knowledgeable      professionals to handle their real estate transactions.
Dan and Lynne H.
" working with Tim was a pleasure from beginning to end " My husband and I recently purchased a home in Bozeman and working with Tim was a pleasure from beginning to end. Throughout the entire process, he was kind, courteous, up-front, and immensely helpful. The Bozeman housing market can be a challenging one to navigate, but Tim was always attentive to our wants and needs and never led us towards anything that wasn't within our interests or budget. I would definitely recommend Tim and Hart Real Estate Solutions to anyone looking to buy a home in the area!
Stephanie and Doug V.
" I highly recommend Lori and the rest of the gang " Lori was excellent from start to finish. She communicated thoroughly and promptly with all pertinent information. Besides being very personable and well appointed, she followed up on every showing and answered all questions. She was honest and straightforward even when the news was not what we wanted to hear. She listened well and did as we requested on points that were important to us. The Hart team sold our house in 3 months in a changing market despite some house issues, and we were able to move according to schedule. I highly recommend Lori and the rest of the gang and would use them again in a minute. She was the best Realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working with!
Celia B.
the professional service we received was, and is, always stellar" "This is our fourth real estate transaction with the Hart Team. Our first purchase with them was several years ago when we bought a condo for our daughter to use during college. After she graduated, we listed it with the Hart team. We saved a lot of money in rent, plus got a good return on our investment. The third was an investment property that has proven to be an excellent property. And the last listing was when we sold our primary home. All went flawlessly, and the last one sold before we even had a chance to list it! It didn’t matter if the transaction was small or large, the professional service we received was, and is, always stellar. The entire Hart Team always makes you feel like you are an important client. There are a lot of choices in Bozeman, but we wouldn’t consider listing with anyone else."
Kelly S. and Bill P.
"Tim and his entire team made the purchase process pretty much effortless..." I moved to Bozeman from Bend, Oregon a few months ago. I’d been hoping to make the move years ago! About five years ago I was perusing the Hart website and called Tim to establish a contact. He was really helpful and professional. We had a great rapport, and over the years he made the effort to send a line or call to see what my status was. Communication, respect and relationship is so important! When it finally came time to actually make the move, I found a wonderful house. Tim and his entire team made the purchase process pretty much effortless, and I couldn’t be happier in my new home.
Jeannie B.
"Tim's insights and persistence saved me time, money, and a lot of worry." "I enthusiastically recommend Tim Hart and Hart Real Estate Solutions. Buying a house from out of town presented several challenges. Tim professionally, promptly, and energetically assisted my home buying process at every step. When identifying candidate homes, Tim caught several I had missed, including a wonderful new listing that I would go on to buy. Then, while out of town, Tim was highly involved in the house inspection and resulting negotiations. Tim went above and beyond, many times, to navigate this transaction to such a positive outcome. His insights and persistence saved me time, money, and a lot of worry. The staff at Hart Real Estate is also fantastic to work with. I was always clearly informed about what to expect at all steps of the process, and my questions were promptly answered. I have already happily recommended Hart Real Estate to several people and am thrilled to continue to do so."
Chelsea H.

I had a 3-5 year plan. I would continue to save for a few more years and then start searching for a home to buy when I was ready. Ready or not, I found myself thrust into buying a home, completely confused and overwhelmed. My parents recommended Tim Hart, as he had recently worked with them to find their current home. Everyone at Hart Real Estate Solutions was warm and welcoming, striving to make this process as smooth as possible. Tim was great at navigating the market, understanding my needs/wants, and providing an honest opinion when needed. I appreciated his availability, communication, and guidance through this very unfamiliar process. I truly believe everyone at Hart Real Estate Solutions wants what's best for their clients and seek to bless the people they serve. I feel incredibly blessed and can't wait to use this home to bless others.

Lori skillfully guided us through the many decisions we faced in selling our condo." Hart Real Estate Solutions did an excellent job of helping us sell our rental condo property in Bozeman. Our interaction with the Hart team was very positive from the first conversation with Tim Hart and then throughout the entire process. Tim and Lori Hart from the heart of an outstanding team of professionals and administrative staff who provided competent and timely support for all our real estate needs. In addition to the Hart team, we found their database of contractors very helpful in preparing our condo to be put on the market as well as responding to the buyers’ home inspection findings. We worked closely with Lori through the entire process, from preparing our condo for listing through closing. Lori skillfully guided us through the many decisions we faced in selling our condo. She made recommendations on what improvements would be cost effective in preparing our condo to be listed; the details of the listing document; responding to offers; and deciding how to resolve home inspection issues. It was a pleasure to work with Lori in what can often be a very stressful process. By the end we had developed a deep trust in Lori’s professional judgement and integrity, as well as a feeling that she was genuinely interested in getting the best result for our sale. In summary, we strongly recommend the Hart team for anyone selling real estate in Bozeman.
Dan & Judy F.

Tim really lives out his heart for helping people find their future home, and I’m sure as he leads his office, his wife and the rest of those who work at Hart Real Estate Solutions show the same empathy and effort he displays. As I said, we started talking a year before buying, not because it took that long to find something, but because after initially talking to Tim, we found that we weren’t quite ready for that financial step. We informed Tim, and he was perfectly ok with that, not pushing us or constantly contacting us to see if anything has changed. On occasion he would email, text, or rarely call just to see if there were any updates, but no more than maybe once every couple months. Things don’t change that fast in life, and Tim understood that. I say all this because Tim aims to build a relationship with his clients more than just get a sale and set you loose, which is huge. When time finally came, my wife and I were really looking around at houses, and eventually when things became more concrete financially, we sat down with Tim for official stuff. He had plenty of insight at the homes we looked at and made it easier for us to see the house through eyes that has more experience and with more understanding, because as I said before we built a relationship and Tim developed a pretty good understanding of what we like and won’t like. Tim is pretty good at figuring out likes and dislikes, his experience definitely shows in this regard. In our searching for homes, Tim did have a list of several in the area, where my wife and I were so much watching the market we saw several before Tim in his busy schedule. But the great thing in that, is Tim is super flexible to our interests and wasn’t pushing his agenda or anything, cause again he’s in it for us and us alone. We found a house!!! Tim gave some great recommendations, and we saw eye to eye because those recommendations weren’t astronomical, they made sense and were worth it. Our situation was in a state of possible change at the last minute and Hart Real Estate was flexible enough for us to not worry about it, because they are reliable to get their part done in a reasonable time. The process was super smooth. Even getting the house to close a few days sooner than originally agreed upon. They understood the importance of buying our first home and that it’s a huge deal for my wife and I, and so they went to bat for us in encouraging this to happen. This testimonial is lengthy because a short paragraph isn’t enough for any reviewer to truly tell the depth of quality, so we try to paint the best picture. One thing I can say is that working with Tim led me to think of him more as a friend that I could invite to a BBQ at our new home. His office helped us get here, and we are so appreciative of it. A great big thank you to everyone at Hart Real Estate Solutions.

From start to finish they embodied professionalism, talent, and most importantly service." Tim and Lori represented us as we purchased our first home then sold it five years later. From start to finish they embodied professionalism, talent, and most importantly service. They took the time to understand our needs and desires in a home, and made it their mission to do all they could to serve us as we made the biggest purchase and sale of our lives to date. I was particularly impressed at the amount of background research they conducted in pricing our home. They had more than a “feel” for the market, they knew they market. While selling our home, we were living in another city. It felt as though we had a family member in Bozeman that we could rely on to sell our home. The Hart’s are skilled agents that aim to serve during the sale or purchase of your home.

 " When you have found the best why settle for the rest... " Included in many testimonials for Hart Realty Solutions are these words: "Knowledge, Patience, Professionalism, Dedication, Honesty, Integrity, Advocates, Teachers, and Friends." During our experiences with Tim and Lori Hart and their entire staff have we have experienced all of these. We have lived in the Belgrade-Bozeman area for a dozen years and our trust in the Harts and their co-workers has stood the test of time.  During the past eight years, we have relied on their detailed and dedicated assistance  to complete four real estate transactions.  Our most recent sale and purchase have been completed in record time; but, without Tim and Lori's vast knowledge and willingness to find solutions, last minute complications would have kept us from living in this condo that we love. When you have found the best why settle for the rest . . .

 " I always felt like I was their only client and I always came first." I want to thank the Hart Real Estate Team for their professionalism, going the extra mile, and being there every step of the way. Looking for an investment property from out of state has many challenges from what to buy, where to buy, the market, financing, and most of all being trustworthy. From the first time I met the team in the office inquiring on what I was looking for to the zero’d in emails of new properties that fit the criteria we worked to find the ideal match. Buying something sight unseen takes a leap of faith and Lori was willing to go the extra mile by video, meeting my tenants, and going thru all the HOA facts and need to knows. From the time I was ready to do til the time to close was 3 weeks and I always felt like I was their only client and I always came first. I couldn’t be more pleased. I will be buying more with the Hart Real Estate team.

 " Tim, Lori, and the whole staff were honest, professional, and timely throughout our property search."  We first found Hart Real Estate Solutions from the Dave Ramsey ELP recommendation list, and we're glad we did. Tim, Lori, and the whole staff were honest, professional, and timely throughout our property search. We appreciated Tim's ability to listen to our needs and desires as buyers while also giving clear recommendations and guidance. Additionally, the Hart team was excellent at keeping a healthy balance between meeting personal preferences and making a wise market-value decision. Perhaps most telling is the way Tim reacted when our initial buy/sell fell through due to inspection concerns on a new construction project none of us could foresee. The patience and professionalism we experienced while working through a deal that fell through is a telling show of character, and in the end we benefited from this, closing on a property we liked even more. Throughout almost a year of working with the Hart team, we never once doubted Tim had our best interests first ahead of other motivations.

 " We knew we were partnered with the right team from the start. "
We greatly appreciate all of the time, effort, energy, patience and dedication that each of you at Hart Real Estate Solutions invested in us and our search for the right property. It was a long road with several twists and turns along the way, but each of you played an important role in keeping us  on track and organized throughout the search, negotiation and purchase of our property. You truly found the solution! We knew we were partnered with the right team from the start.

Lori Hart and her team were incredible throughout our out-of-town buying process. We emailed several real estate agents on a visit to Bozeman in hopes of learning more about the local market. Because we made it clear that we were very early in the process most agents didn't bother to respond. Lori not only wrote a thoughtful response, she met us in person and answered our many questions. Once we began our hunt in earnest Lori was able to quickly understand our needs and send us many relevant homes, including several not officially on the market. She even provided in-depth video tours so that we could get a good feel for a potential house despite being 10 hours away. In the end Lori suggested something we weren't even considering - a custom build in a wonderful neighborhood. She introduced us to several builders and ultimately guided us through the process of building a house we love. Our family officially moved to Bozeman in December and couldn't be happier in our new home. Thanks Hart Real Estate!
Chris & Julie M.

Tim and Lori Hart are way more than real estate agents. They are advocates and friends. They helped us purchase our first home in 2012. As we were outgrowing our first home (three daughters), we would ask them for advice on selling and purchasing a new home, and they repeatedly told us to stay in our home as long as possible to make our investment pay off. Their advice demonstrated to us that they were not just in it for the money, but they truly cared about us making wise financial decisions...and they were right. This year, they helped us sell our home (within 1 week) and step into a new, unique opportunity that had never been done in Bozeman: a cooperative house. We had the vision of living life in community with some dear friends; and Tim and Lori gave us wise counsel, helped us navigate financial barriers, and even joined us as we had to apply for special permitting through the city. Now, we get to enjoy a beautiful home with our dear friends in a beautiful neighborhood all because Tim and Lori were our advocates. We wouldn't have been able to get this home without them. Tim and Lori work very hard...and they care. Multiple times throughout this process Tim and Lori would pray for us, encourage us, and send us messages asking how we were doing through the process. We thank God for them, and highly recommend them! Because of their help to us over these years, we recommended them to our friends who they also helped purchase their first homes. They also helped our parents get into their ideal home in Three Forks as our parents moved closer to the grandkids. We could not recommend them high enough! They will be your biggest advocates and you will truly feel cared for in the entire home-buying process by them.

When we decided to buy a home in Montana, we first needed to select a realtor that would help us realize our dreams long-distance.  After a couple of conversations with other realtors, we selected Tim Hart based on testimonials that we read online.  We had several long distance conversations with Tim regarding the type of property we wanted to look at.  We sent Tim a list of 12 homes that we selected based on the information that we found online.  Tim provided input regarding the houses and the area that each was located in. We flew out to Bozeman from Connecticut and arrived on a Thursday afternoon at 1:00 – by 5:00 that day, we fell in love with a house that we wanted to buy.  When it came time to make an offer, Tim looked at market comps and told us that the house we wanted was overpriced and that we should make a lower offer – what realtor does that – he basically sacrificed commission for us – that alone, should convince everyone to use the services of Hart Real Estate.  Tim’s honesty and integrity is far above any realtor that I have ever dealt with.  When I was stressed about the purchase in the middle of the night and needed to see the house one more time, Tim went out of his way to get us back in.  He has patience and understanding with home buyers.  Tim’s administrator, Melissa, walked us through the process of buying a home, arranging inspections, etc.  and made sure we did not miss any critical steps while closing on a house long distance.   Tim has given us many leads on services that we will need once we move to Bozeman. Post sale, upon realizing the refrigerator in the house did not work, Tim arranged to have it repaired while we are still living in CT.  Tim and his wife Lori are honest, likable people who make you feel comfortable and at ease when purchasing a home.  We highly recommend Hart Real Estate to anyone who is looking for a realtor in Bozeman.  We hope to continue our relationship with both Tim and Lori once we have moved to Montana.
Linda & Bob M.
The team at Hart Real Estate Solutions did a wonderful job assisting us in selling our house.  From the moment we met Lori in our home we felt she was a genuine, honest woman of integrity and would treat the sale of our home as she would her own. She went to the trouble to invest in a professional stager to come through our home and give us specific suggestions on what would help our home sell the best. She very thoughtfully considered what price to sell our home at with much research to back it up and explained it all to us.  We trusted her suggestion and went with it and within 3 days of listing we had already shown the house 3 times and had 3 full price offers.  Then she went through the process of helping us figure out what to do with all those offers and how to handle that all the way through closing. There is so much more they did for us I can't even cover it all but the team was stellar and I would suggest them to anyone!

 " Tim was always professional (but also fun to be around!), and would never put his own interests ahead of mine. " I found Tim and his team online, after reading all of his reviews.  He certainly lived up to his reputation! I was interested in buying an investment property in Montana.  Tim listened to my goals and guided me, while not influencing my opinions with his own.  In addition to being knowledgeable about the local areas, Tim added value to the process by being a real estate investor himself.  When I was in town to look at properties, Tim devoted his full attention, paid attention to details that I missed, contemplated ideas with me and was a true partner during the process.  Tim was always professional (but also fun to be around!), and would never put his own interests ahead of mine - he looked at everything from my perspective, and only thought about what would serve me and help me achieve my goals. I also appreciated his team's use of technology and checklists - he saved all relevant documents and pictures on Google, and provided checklists for me to keep track of things.  I thought purchasing a property on the other side of the country would be difficult, but Tim made it a breeze and distance was not at all an issue.  I look forward to working with Tim and his team again in the near future.
Bonnie L.
By far working with Tim Hart and his team was the best home buying experience I have ever had. There were some challenges along the way with the tough buyer market here in Bozeman and it took some time but Tim and his crew worked hard and never gave up on me. He was very keen on picking up on my hesitations and knew exactly what I was looking for. Definitely an agent who works on behalf of his clients. He treated me like family and made sure I was looked after from the beginning to the end of the process. Tim was extremely knowledgeable in this crazy market and gave me advice on how to make sure I was able to get the home I had hoped for. With the many clients Tim has, he always made time to answer my calls or hear my concerns. I have bought and sold 4 homes in my life and I can honestly say Tim and his team gave me the most ease of any agent I have ever worked with. I would highly recommend Tim and his entire team. You need someone like him in this crazy market of Southwest Montana!!
Eric M.
 " Would highly recommend them for buying or selling! " We contacted Hart Real Estate literally the day we were in town after deciding last minute to look at possibly buying when we had planned to only look at rentals with the 2 days we had in town. Even with zero notice and less than 48 hours to work with, they went above and beyond and helped us find what we hope will be our forever home. We feel that way more and more each day we now live there. They helped us find the place that was just right for us and our family even with a time crunch. They are knowledgeable, professional, and meet your needs first. Would highly recommend them for buying or selling!
Chris & Staci T.
Recently my husband and I sold a lot in Bozeman.  Lori Hart was our agent and as ALWAYS provided the most thorough and comprehensive representation possible. Although the transaction proceeded smoothly, real estate purchases and sales are typically a somewhat stressful pursuit.  However, Lori provides her clientele with a personable approach.  Tim and Lori genuinely care about the people they represent! In the past I have dealt with a myriad of realtors. Hands down, Tim and Lori Hart are absolutely the best to handle any and all real estate transaction.  They are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced.  They understand local markets and educate their clients to allow for the best possible decision-making. If asked, there is no other firm I would recommend to represent my real estate needs in the Gallatin Valley.  ?
Ed & Jaime S.
 " He went above and beyond to gather detail to make my purchase the best purchase possible. "   Tim is kind, professional and really understood my real estate goals and personal situation.  He helped me, as a novice home buyer, navigate through the real estate pitfalls in the Bozeman area. One instance is Tim made me aware of certain characteristics of places that seemed desirable, but were not optimal for my circumstance.  He went above and beyond to gather detail to make my purchase the best purchase possible.  With his experience and knowledge, he even helped me avoid an unforeseen expensive repair right before signing. I still keep in touch with Tim, and he continues to help me with questions.

 " She truly listened and tried to understand what we were looking for in a home. " A big thank you to Tim and Lori for helping us find our home. Our home search lasted the better part of a year, all the while facing a fast-paced and ever-changing market scene. Lori was extremely helpful in finding a home that met our specific desires and price range. She truly listened and tried to understand what we were looking for in a home. She was always available to meet us for showings, at off hours or on short notice, or to serve as a valuable resource in our attempts to clarify our desires. Because of the ever-increasing home prices, my husband and I were very concerned about getting a good value in our home long term. Lori helped us navigate the fine line between offering enough to be able to be competitive, yet feel we got a good value, providing comps to increase our confidence in our purchase throughout the closing process. Now that we been living in our home for a week now, we like it more than ever and are so thankful for the role the Harts played in helping us find our home.

 " He has high integrity, is honest, hardworking, and very personable. "   Tim Hart is an excellent realtor. He has high integrity, is honest, hardworking, and very personable. We had a complex home buying situation and Tim went above and beyond to help us navigate through it all. The name says it all; they truly did help us find a real estate solution for our complex real estate needs!
Jesse & Megan R.
Lori was amazing. Dan and I are first time buyers and she navigated us through this process while making sure we fully understood everything we were going through. She connected us with all the best resources, including banks, land surveyors, etc.We would highly recommend the Hart team for all of your real estate needs. We felt that through the whole process Lori was not just our real estate agent, she was our friend. We are extremely thankful to now be owners of 12 acres in the beautiful state of Montana and are so excited to build our dream home. Thank you Hart Real Estate Solutions!
Dan B. & Mary W.
 " We really appreciated their professional attitude through the entire process and their expertise. "     Tim and Lori gave us good advice throughout the process, from the initial property evaluation through helping to find other professionals throughout the selling process.  When issues were encountered Lori and Tim stepped above and beyond by recommending and engaging contractors to identify and correct the problems; this was especially appreciated as we were no longer in Bozeman.  We really appreciated their professional attitude through the entire process and their expertise.   Lori and Tim's services were worth every penny.
Greg & Amy O.
Hart Real Estate Solutions provided exceptional service and was professional every step of the way--from looking for, to offering on, to closing up a home. Tim met with us early in the process to discuss our finances and goals; and he generously worked around our complicated schedules (as one of us is a night-shift employee) to accommodate house visits. We also appreciated his willingness to explain all the legal real-estate terminology that we didn't understand; Tim possesses a true heart of a teacher. We would recommend Hart Real Estate Solutions to anyone who'd like thorough and compassionate help in finding a home.
Will & Carly W.
We had been looking for our dream property in Montana for a couple of years, without any luck. We were beginning to get very frustrated with the whole process. Then, we met the team at Hart Real Estate Solutions, and our experience changed instantly. We set up a meeting with Tim initially, then we spent some time with Lori, and eventually Traci at their office in Bozeman. We felt comfortable from beginning through the whole process. They sat down with us and asked us questions; they wanted to know what our dream home was like in every way. After telling them what we were hoping to find, they went to work. The next day we looked at a house that was a contender, and by the next day were standing in front of the home that we had been searching for. This was our first house in the mountains and we had tons of questions. Hart Real Estate Solutions had the answers and more. They gave us answers to questions we never thought of. They guided us through the whole process and made it an enjoyable journey. While we were back in San Diego, they never stopped working. The Hart team went above and beyond what we could have ever asked for. They were there for every inspection, every phone call and every request we had. We could have never done the long distance purchase with out them. We are ever thankful to the Hart Real Estate Solutions team and if our dream ever changes or grows, they will be our first call.
Melissa & Scott M.
The Hart Team and Lori in particular have the utmost integrity in all that they do.  The care about the quality and excellence of their work and not in the quantity of the product they produce. The personal attention that was given to us by Lori directly was HUGE.  We weren’t handed over to an assistant.  We are always able to reach her with questions.  She literally held our hands through every step of this process.  The other piece that was impressive and ultimately sealed the deal for us when we were interviewing agents was the market research and analysis she did to get comps for our home that ultimately determined the listing price.  We met with her early in the afternoon and by the time we were headed to bed, we had comps in our in-box.  I know that she can’t always provide in that timeframe, but it was so incredibly helpful.  It gave us the assurance that she cared and more importantly that she wanted to sell our home and believed it was worth her time and investment.  Other agents we have met or worked with in the past never gave us the same amount of attention.  We would be given the agents “personal” number and from there, it was the assistant we ended up working with long term.  I felt like we mattered as were our concerns. Post sale, we have been touring some homes with Lori while we decide if we should build or buy.  It has been great to process those decisions with her.  She has been fantastic in the questions she has asked of us to get to the bottom of what we are truly wanting to do and ultimately what would be best for our family’s needs.  She is incredibly patient and has brought to us many ideas and suggestions that have be incredibly helpful.  Thank you, thank you, thank you Lori and the Hart Real Estate Team!
Eva & Daniel W.
We were making a cross-country move on a tight budget in the insane Bozeman housing market. We began our search with a different agency, but after waiting sometimes weeks (!) to hear back from the agent we took a friend’s recommendation and contacted Tim Hart. Tim was prompt in relaying information and answering questions, knowledgeable on the affordable housing options in Bozeman, honest about the obstacles we might face in our search, and a strong advocate when we confronted those obstacles. We are first-time home buyers and felt like we were wading into waters entirely unfamiliar, Tim expertly navigated us without making us feel silly for our naive questions or trying to push us beyond the budget we had to work with. We were house-searching from Texas, sight-unseen, and Tim provided both phone calls and videos as he walked through the three homes we looked at. He even braved a very moldy, very smelly crawl space to warn us against a house that at first appearances seemed to have everything going for it. Tim called us about the house we now own within an hour of it going on the market, he made looking into the house a top priority, and expertly navigated getting us into the exact house of our needs and budget. I could not recommend Tim highly enough. If you want a realtor you know will be in your corner, give it to you straight, and be readily available to find you the right home, you will find that realtor in Tim.

Recently my wife Catherine and I purchased a home in the Bozeman area. Tim Hart and his team were our real estate representatives. Our family has been coming up to Montana for several years. We were looking for a home that would serve as a vacation home and also possibly as a permanent home for our family in the future. In the past we rented homes for our family vacations and I thought I was familiar with the area. This all changed when I met Tim Hart. Tim’s knowledge of the area and ability to communicate were both very impressive. Tim has the ability to get to the heart of the matter quickly. Tim was always willing to be candid. He was always willing to examine the pros and cons of each home we were interested in. Because we live out of state, it was important for us to be able to closely communicate and receive documents via email and text. Before I could ask, Tim created an internet “Google Drive” account. This allowed Tim, Catherine and I to quickly examine documents and photographs. This is exactly what I was intending to do. Throughout the entire process, it seemed Tim was always one step ahead. He is also one of those people who is intensely organized. He never missed even the smallest detail of the transaction. We saw several homes. There were offers and counter offers. Also as is common in real estate purchases, there were contingencies based on financing and inspections. Tim and his team were on top of every detail. Tim, Tracy and Lori are the part of the team I dealt with. They are all professional problem solvers. They are professionals you can count on. I never had to wait for a call, text or email to be returned. Tim doesn’t want there to be any surprises. When there was a potential issue Tim didn’t minimize it. He always acted with the highest level of integrity and treated us with the highest level of respect. To that end, Tim was always very upfront about potential problems if any. Our transaction went very well. When there were questions from either side, Tim was always available to assist. Tim’s incredible team, his knowledge of the area, his professional attitude and attention to detail were the driving forces behind our positive experience. I highly recommend Tim Hart Real Estate Solutions

 " We would highly recommend Tim and his firm to anyone wanting a realtor who does not just care about their own listings, but cares about what you want, who will listen, and who will spend time with you! "   What a pleasure it was to find our new home site in Montana with Tim Hart! As out of state buyers, not quite familiar with the area, Tim’s knowledge helped us narrow our search so we did not spend time looking at listings that did not meet our needs.  His time with us was both productive and pleasant. Tim was thorough and he went above and beyond expectations to make sure we had the opportunity to find the right place for us! His attention to detail in providing us not only the information on the listings, but references for other professionals gave us resources for engineering, lending and legal review. Tim and Hart’s transaction coordinator, Tracy Dardis, also provided comprehensive follow-up all the way to closing so that the details were taken care of before deadlines. We would highly recommend Tim and his firm to anyone wanting a realtor who does not just care about their own listings, but cares about what you want, who will listen, and who will spend time with you! ?Thanks Tim - for everything!

 " He very quickly put us at ease and it was like working with an old friend even though we had only just met in person. " As a family moving to the Bozeman area from out of state we knew we needed an especially attentive and patient real estate agent. Tim Hart was all that and more. Tim was referred to us by our daughter who lives in the area and had worked with him previously. We met with Tim initially by phone. He listened attentively and kept in close touch but never pressured us. The steady stream of home listings he provided gave us a good sense of what was available and for how much. Our first in person meeting with Tim went very smoothly. His relaxed yet organized approach was very reassuring. With his help we narrowed our search to 4 homes and set a date to look at them. Tim was able to fill us in on the nuances of each home and area. In most cases he anticipated our questions and even called our attention to some issues we hadn't considered. We weren't under any pressure to buy but found a house both of us loved immediately. Tim created a video walkthrough for us to help with our decision. Over the next couple of days we pondered the situation followed by a phone meeting with Tim. He provided great strategic advice on making a successful offer. After returning home we spotted another home that had just hit the market that also had many of the features we were seeking. On short notice Tim did a live video walkthrough of the new listing including the exterior and surrounding neighborhood. With that reassurance we were ready to make an offer on our original favorite. We couldn't be happier with our choice or his assistance. Once the offer was accepted Tim really went to work for us. He organized the inspection, referred us to a local bank and connected us with local contractors to line up some pre-move-in improvements. He even checked on some work that was mandated by the inspection. It is hard to imagine a long distance transaction going any smoother. With his assistance the closing went off without a hitch and our modifications are nearing completion. Tim was just a pleasure to work with. He very quickly put us at ease and it was like working with an old friend even though we had only just met in person. He provided great strategic advice that really paid off for us. It is one thing to be friendly, easy going and relaxed but quite another to do all that while also being highly efficient, professional and punctual. Tim was all that for us. If we ever have another real estate transaction in the Bozeman area we would work with Tim again without question.

 " Rest assured, there is NO ONE else I would choose to use in the Gallatin Valley for my real estate needs.  " Lori Hart and Hart Real Estate could not have done a better job representing my real estate interests!  Lori maintains the highest degree of integrity while providing prompt and clear communication as well as providing solutions and guidance as hurdles and challenges were met. Our real estate goal was not clearly established when we first signed on Lori as our realtor.  Throughout the process, Lori was able to narrow our focus and goals until we were able to pin point with accuracy our desired path.  Once we were pointed in the right direction, the technological tools Hart Real Estate utilizes made searching for properties a cinch (not to mention daily updates as new properties came on the market). In the past, my husband and I have been disappointed (at best) and outraged (worse) with the experience we've had with other real estate agents and brokers.  NOT SO with Hart Real Estate.  Rest assured, there is NO ONE else I would choose to use in the Gallatin Valley for my real estate needs.  You can be assured of the highest level of service, communication and accuracy throughout your real estate transaction. Thank you Lori and the team at Hart Real Estate!

We simply cannot recommend Tim and Lori highly enough. As first time home buyers, we could have easily gotten overwhelmed with the busy Bozeman market. Tim and Lori walked us through each step. They took the time to answer our questions and address our concerns with respect and genuine care for us as people. We never felt rushed, pushed, or belittled, even though we bought a relatively inexpensive home and knew nothing about the process when we started.  They were on top of things the whole way. We knew the home we were interested in would sell quickly and they were able to show it to us within a few hours of our call. They also worked over the holiday weekend with little notice to get our offer in. When our inspection revealed a significant repair that needed to happen, they made sure to keep things moving along and to keep us updated. Every time we interacted with them and their staff, we noticed how knowledgeable they are and how gracious they are in sharing their knowledge.  In short, they are competent and caring. They provided the information we needed to make the best decision possible.  We would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

 " Tim Hart came highly recommended by the realtor that sold my home, and now I know why. " Hart Real Estate Solutions made my out-of-state relocation search go very smoothly.  From what I thought was going to be a very stressful and uncertain situation, turned out to be positive, comforting and very successful, because of the outstanding service Hart provided. Tim Hart came highly recommended by the realtor that sold my home, and now I know why.  He immediately contacted me and has always been available by multiple forms of communication...phone, text, email, fax, Skype and auto!  He provided information and details that I never would have thought of, let alone thought I could ask a realtor for. I flew in on a long holiday weekend and met with Tim to view properties that we had discussed, plus some! He was gracious enough to spend the entire day showing me around the whole area that he had mapped out with details on each property. Because I was not from the area he answered all of the many questions that I had.  Hart Real Estate also provided many details, which satisfied any and all of my concerns.  The house that I ended up purchasing was not one that I had viewed while I was in town, but with Tim's walk through videos and the trust that formed from our correspondence, I felt confident enough to purchase my home sight unseen! Hart Real Estate has always been very professional with the highest level of integrity.  They worked at all hours and over holiday weekends to provide incredible service and to be as helpful as possible. I knew through all the service they provide that they definitely were looking out for me!

 " I can’t thank the Hart Team enough.  They were more than fantastic! " My journey with Hart Real Estate began over a year before the final purchase of my new home in Bozeman.  I wanted to relocate to be near family in my retirement years.  A decision like this isn’t easy but the Hart Team made it hassle-free.  I think this was because they focused on meeting my needs rather than their own.  This was so reassuring and something I had not really experienced with previous real estate dealings in my life.  After several outings with Tim Hart to search for a home, I decided to go with new construction.  This process took several months and the Hart Team was with me all the way, sending me regular updates. They even went to the job site and took pictures to send to me.  When it came time for closing on the property, Tim Hart guided me in the process to make sure that everything was done in my best interest.  I can’t thank the Hart Team enough.  They were more than fantastic!

 " Tim and his team guided us, as first-time buyers, through the entire process. " My wife and I just moved to Bozeman in October of 2016 and we were shocked by the competitive real estate market in Bozeman. We had an initial meeting with Tim and he pointed us to neighborhoods we should keep an eye on based upon our personal tastes. We kept a close eye on the houses that appeared in our desired neighborhood and saw one home that really caught our attention right around New Year's. We contacted Tim on New Year's day in the off chance that he would be able to get us a viewing of the property. To our delight, Tim actually answered our call and scheduled a showing for Jan. 2nd. We loved what we saw and Tim immediately made it happen. We put down the offer that day and got accepted.  Tim and his team guided us, as first-time buyers, through the entire process. He suggested an amazing loan officer, inspector, and he worked incredibly well with the seller's agent. Through Hart Real Estate, my wife and I always knew what was happening, exactly what we had to do, and how to leverage the offer in our best interests. The closing could not have been smoother, all parties involved were on exactly the same page which is so important in any business (and life) transaction. My wife and I are so grateful to Tim and his team, we cannot wait to start making memories in our new home.

As first time homebuyers in a competitive market we felt like we hit the jackpot with Tim and his team. We were inexperienced, lacked knowledge, and weren't sure where to start in the process of purchasing our first home. We were blown away by how personable, warm, and intentional Tim was in getting to know us and trying to find a home that fit our needs as a growing family. Not only did we feel listened to and cared for, we felt known in the process. We never felt pushed or misunderstood. We would HIGHLY recommend Tim and Hart Real Estate Solutions to anyone in the Gallatin Valley looking to buy a home. He was patient with us, helped us ask good questions, and showed us many options to consider. Tim celebrated with us when we found the home for us and fought for us in negotiations. We are truly in love with our home and can't imagine living anywhere else, thanks to Tim and his office our dreams of owning a home in Bozeman, MT came true.

 " Tim and the team at Hart Real Estate supported us the entire way, providing us with probably a dozen video walkthroughs of properties and local market intel. "   Tim Hart and the entire team at Hart Real Estate Solutions were wonderful to work with for our recent home purchase. My husband and I had been looking forward to moving back to Bozeman ever since we left, but knew that it was a challenging real estate market, made more challenging by the fact that we were located out of state. Tim and the team at Hart Real Estate supported us the entire way, providing us with probably a dozen video walkthroughs of properties and local market intel. Tim even coordinated an offer for us while out on vacation. And when an offer wasn't accepted, because we weren't the high bid, Tim was on the phone with us late at night to talk us through other options. We were under a tight timeline to find a home, with our house in Colorado already sold and being six months pregnant. Tim and his team were successfully able to work through our challenges and some unusual issues with the sellers of the home we ended up purchasing to make sure that we were able to find a home in time to welcome our first child in Montana. We would recommend Tim and his team to anyone purchasing or selling a home in the Bozeman market.

We came to the Harts with two goals, that was to sell one home at an equitable value and find another that we envisioned would be spacious, on acreage, cuddled close to the mountains, that we could offer hospitality to family and friends...and we had a price range we had to keep our purchase within.   Our experience was stellar doing business with Tim, Lori, and Tracy at Hart Real Estate, both in the assistance Lori gave us in selling a home and Tim's help finding another one to buy.  They put every effort into advising us and keeping the communication going through out the process. Personally having advance experience with the Harts, knowing that their integrity goes beyond just making a sale, was reinforced even more through this process.  They always delivered what they promised. We appreciated the advice Lori gave to prepare our house for putting it on the market and pricing it right.  It was under contract in less than 48 hours!   Tracy in the office managing all the paperwork details everything moved efficiently. When looking for our new home, Tim was always very observant to details, open, and honest sharing his personal concerns.  He was a great support when we received the inspection report  on the home we had made an offer on.  He acquired in a timely manner the  estimates of repairs from trusted professional contractors for work needed.   This helped us to reconsider our offer and to move forward with a new offer price negotiation that was accepted by the seller.   Tim represented us well and always made it clear from the beginning that he would spend as much time with us as we needed to be certain we had the right home for us at the right price.  As clients we felt honored and appreciated from the beginning to the end of our transactions.  We could not have trusted anyone more while making these important decisions than the Harts!

 " I would and have already highly recommend the Hart team for anyone looking for a place to call home. "   My wife and I bought our first home through Hart Real Estate Solutions. I had recently graduated and we needed to get off campus. We lost out on a few homes that were “okay” but when our home came on the market, Tim moved quickly but calmly. We were able to get in the house, look around, make an offer and get that offer accepted in less than one day. He met with us several times throughout the process. Tim explained the process thoroughly enough for us, first time buyers, not to be surprised if something came up. I would and have already highly recommend the Hart team for anyone looking for a place to call home.

 " I felt the negotiation phase was skillfully handled as well. "   I am impressed with Tim, Lori, and Tracy at Hart Real Estate.  We went through the buying process in Bozeman from out of state Tim and team went out of their way to provide video and Skype tours, meet with inspectors, deal with contractors, and provide opinions and insights on the home and neighborhood that are hard to get a feel for without being there in person.  I felt the negotiation phase was skillfully handled as well.  Thank you for a great experience!

 " Everyone at Hart was upfront and honest during all the aspects of buying a house. " I have nothing but praise for Hart Real Estate Solutions. Gave Tim specifics of what I wanted and he showed me exactly the type of home I was looking for and the price range-Tim explained to me with the market in Bozeman would have to pay more to get what I wanted.  Went in on a Wednesday and signed a buy/sell on Friday.  Everyone at Hart was upfront and honest during all the aspects of buying a house. Tim and his staff made sure all my questions during the process were answered quickly.  Everyone at Hart was welcoming and friendly.  Never felt as if I was being rushed.  After signing the final papers, I had to call Tim/staff with numerous questions, who were more than willing to answer or get answers for me.  If I sell or buy another home in Bozeman I will certainly go to Hart Real Estate Solutions.

 " I can honestly say that our experience with Lori Hart and the entire Hart Real Estate Solutions team was by far the best. "   My husband and I were looking to buy a house that our daughter could live in while attending college at Montana State University.  I contacted Lori Hart at Hart Real Estate Solutions to assist us with the search.  That same day, I received a number of listing from her and started looking at properties immediately.  After looking at a number of homes, Lori suggested that she contact a few builders to see if they had anything in the works that was not yet listed.  Within a few days, we met with a builder who allowed us to pick a floor-plan and customize it to fit our needs.  Throughout the building process, Lori and her team stayed in constant contact with myself and the builder to ensure that everything was going according to plan.  We have bought and sold a number of properties in the past and I can honestly say that our experience with Lori Hart and the entire Hart Real Estate Solutions team was by far the best.  I will definitely use them in the future for all of my real estate needs.

 " From start to finish everyone at Hart Real Estate Solutions made my home buying experience enjoyable and smooth. "   Working overseas, I needed a trustworthy team that would work hard on my behalf to help me find the right property. I tried multiple real estate websites before focusing on Hart Real Estate Solution’s site for its ease of use and convenient features. After meeting with Tim and the team once, they worked tirelessly to find me the right home in the right neighborhood. Hart Real Estate truly had my best interest and needs in mind. This was evident by the honest professional service everyone at Hart Real Estate provided to me. Buying a home sight unseen is something I thought I’d never do but Tim and his team gave me honest assessments and furnished the information I needed to make the right decision. Tim went above and beyond to make videos of homes I was interested in. Tim also provided interactive walk throughs via Skype so I could get immediate feedback to questions as I was seeing the properties. From start to finish everyone at Hart Real Estate Solutions made my home buying experience enjoyable and smooth. I can’t express how pleased I am with Hart Real Estate Solutions. If you have real estate needs in the Bozeman area call Tim Hart, you will not be disappointed.

 " Hart Real Estate's promptness and genuine care for my home buying process made my life very easy and I would recommend them to anybody in the Bozeman area looking for a home. "       As a first time home buyer Tim and his team helped me immensely with a process that I was somewhat unfamiliar with. Any time I had a question regarding the property they had an answer. If they didn't Tim or Tracy would contact the builder and have an answer in less than an hour. The first night I met Tim he showed me 5 homes until 10pm and I was under contract on the home I wanted by 2pm the next day.  Hart Real Estate's promptness and genuine care for my home buying process made my life very easy and I would recommend them to anybody in the Bozeman area looking for a home.

 " When you work with these folks, you access experts and work with people who really care. " I worked with Hart Real Estate Solutions this year, as I had some money to invest and wanted to purchase some real estate income property.  Tim met with me to discuss my goals, of which I feel he got a clear grasp.  He began feeding me real estate options that met the criteria I had conveyed.  Within a couple months, I had purchased both a residential condo and a commercial condo.  The commercial condo had a lessee with a 3-year contract, which was great.  I immediately leased the residential condo for a good price. Both Tim and Sean were very helpful and conscientious in this whole process.  When you are dealing with investment properties, there are lots of nuances and potential pitfalls that they worked through with me.  They are obviously very knowledgeable in this area.  When you work with these folks, you access experts and work with people who really care.

 " Two thumbs up, five stars, and a standing ovation for the Harts!!  BRAVO!!!!!!! " I am an experienced buyer and seller of homes, as well as a person with high expectations - so don’t take this lightly:  Tim and Lori Hart truly floored me. They did a phenomenal job in selling my downtown Bozeman home. Here’s why: first, Lori created a very professional market analysis so we could price it just right. Note: it was much different than the others I had done prior. Then, Lori went on to do a pre-home inspection and put together a punch list of what needed to be done to avoid issues during showings or due diligence. But she didn’t stop there; she went on to play general contractor, getting the right people lined up and scheduled to do the minor repairs. Meanwhile, Tim was doing his in-person and online marketing magic, so when the house went on the market, it sold within hours, and for over asking price!! I am telling everyone that when you hire the Tim Hart Team, you are getting not just “a realtor” but a PACKAGE DEAL, comprised of people that know how to get it done with professionalism, integrity, and speed. Two thumbs up, five stars, and a standing ovation for the Harts!!  BRAVO!!!!!!!

 " I truly feel like I’ve expanded my family and would highly recommend them to anyone! " From the beginning, Tim and Lori Hart and Tracy Dardis of Hart Real Estate Solutions made it clear, by their actions, that they were going to help me find the home my wife and I were seeking. I gave them a list of about 15 homes I was interested in based on preliminary research of a number of websites, which was my best option since I did not live in Montana when searching for a home to buy. It was clearly a buyer’s market so properties were going fast. Many of the properties I suggested had already sold. But tapping into their excellent knowledge of the market and the real estate business, they found a new home that hadn’t even been officially listed. They called me with the details which exceeded what I was hoping for and I had them lock it in right away. Throughout the entire process, I grew very impressed with their competence, integrity and personal warmth. I truly feel like I’ve expanded my family and would highly recommend them to anyone!

It was 9:30 at night when I texted Tim. My wife and I were perusing Trulia and found our dream home. My gut told me it’d sell fast and that we’d have to act quickly. Less than 24 hours later, we were homeowners. I love telling folks the story of how we bought our home, how all the pieces came together so perfectly. Tim and his team made it so. The team is friendly, professional and responsive. They have a knowledge of the local market and of the home-buying process. Tim is one of the more organized professionals I know and has a knack for attention to detail. But what really sets the team apart, and what we appreciate most, is the level of service we received from day one. “I work for you,” Tim told me the first time we met. Tim worked alright. And now we’re homeowners. We closed on our home during awards season so it seems appropriate to use an Oscar analogy. We give Tim and team “best supporting” accolades for the indispensable roles they played in making our dream of homeownership a reality.

 " Hart Real Estate Solutions did an excellent job in preparing, advertising and selling our Montana property. "     Hart Real Estate Solutions did an excellent job in preparing, advertising and selling our Montana property. They adapted their schedule to accommodate mine (I live in Seattle) and promptly answered every question, even the odd hour ones.  When my RE partner and best friend passed away in Montana, they worked with his widow to make sure that she understood the sales/closing process.  I am hearing impaired but Team Hart dealt with that issue, professionally and effectively. My Thanks!

 " Tim always took the time to explain all the aspects of the transaction. "   It was obvious that the team at Hart Real Estate Solutions genuinely cared that we found the right house for our family.  We never felt rushed or pressured into buying a house, despite looking at many different properties.  Tim always took the time to explain all the aspects of the transaction.  And when the previous owners left the house in less-than-ideal condition at close, Tim offered to take care of the issue at his expense.  Thanks Tim and team!  We appreciate all your help and love our new home.

 " We endorse Tim without hesitation, and will use him again for our future Gallatin Valley real estate transactions! "   In a business usually populated by pretenders and part-timers, Tim Hart is a professionals' professional. With intimate knowledge of both residential and commercial markets, Tim's strategic differentiator is service.  From taking the time to understand our needs (location for schools, type of neighborhood, architectural style), through the negotiation of price and finally the details of the close, Tim not only advised us, but led the process--and always with patience and understanding. Best of all, as clients moving from out of state, Tim helped us ensure a smooth transition, with advice on everything from how to handle city utilities, where to find yard services and a local contractor, and even recommendations for restaurants.  We endorse Tim without hesitation, and will use him again for our future Gallatin Valley real estate transactions!

 " Tim would email us listings on a weekly basis so we developed a feel for the Bozeman market prior to our arrival. "     It was great working with Tim and I would recommend him to anyone searching for a home in the Bozeman area. Tim is very internet savvy and when you are an out-of-market buyer like we were, the internet is a key initial component for doing a house search. Tim would email us listings on a weekly basis so we developed a feel for the Bozeman market prior to our arrival.  Once we arrived in Bozeman, Tim had a strong sense for what we were looking for and found us a home that we closed on in two days.  He was very point-of-impact which is great.
Mark K.
 " This team is truly amazing and has not disappointed us, we are very pleased and grateful that we chose to work with Hart this time around. "   We have had several real estate transactions over the last several years and have been occasionally disappointed in the past, one could say I have high expectations. When we made the decision to work with Hart Real Estate Solutions, we were looking for someone to really listen to our needs and goals and put us first, as well as someone who was knowledgeable and skilled and would work hard for us. We have enjoyed working with Tim, Lori and Sean throughout this whole process and feel that they did just that. We have never been so informed on every step of the process and appreciate the thoroughness, professionalism and respect we were treated with. This team is truly amazing and has not disappointed us, we are very pleased and grateful that we chose to work with Hart this time around.

 " Tim has also surrounded himself with a wonderful team. " Tim did an outstanding job selling our house!  As first time home sellers, we didn't know how the process of selling a house would go.  We were so pleased that he took the time to answer all of our questions.  We never felt in the dark or left alone through the whole process.  Tim made time for us and took this single house sale very seriously. Tim has also surrounded himself with a wonderful team.  From the initial house pictures through closing, everything was done very well.

 " The process of finding a home is one of the most important journeys you will take, and we would not recommend taking this journey without Tim at your side. "     As a young couple buying our first home, we had no idea what to expect in the house hunting and purchasing process. We are confident that Divine guidance brought us to Tim, for without his help in every detail, we would not have found the perfect house for us as quickly and smoothly as we did! He is extremely familiar with the Gallatin Valley, as he was able to identify the best areas to fit our needs after asking just a few simple questions. He never pressured us into buying or looking at something we were not open to, but when we did seek his advice, it was consistently informative and helpful. He was always one step ahead of us, ensuring every detail was being taken care of, from the bank and title company, to previous owners and houses not yet on the market, etc. He stayed in constant communication with everyone involved, whether through text, email, or a phone call, and worked after business hours to accommodate our schedule. Our relationship with Tim began professionally and grew personally. I can confidently say he made our closing date more special than any other realtor could have done. The process of finding a home is one of the most important journeys you will take, and we would not recommend taking this journey without Tim at your side.

 " I have seen Tim go way beyond the call of duty in his help and service to not only me but more importantly my clients. "     As a Financial Advisor I have many opportunities to help clients with just about all aspects of their financial well being. That means needing to secure the services of attorneys, accountants and even real estate agents such as Tim. Because my clients rely on me to make sure that the people we use are truly professionals and good at what they do I personally hold them to some pretty lofty standards. I have found that Tim solidly meets those standards. I have seen Tim go way beyond the call of duty in his help and service to not only me but more importantly my clients. I have full confidence in Tim and I believe any one that uses him to either buy or sell a home would come to the same conclusion once they got to know him not only as an agent but as an individual.

 " We always felt like we were valued as individuals and as a family, not just as a means to a bottom line. " We were so thrilled with the service, concern, and expertise that Tim Hart showed us as our Realtor. The process of finding our first home was an involved and often emotional one for us, and Tim really went beyond the call of duty in walking us through every step of the process. Throughout our dealings Tim was always easily available and involved with our decision process. We always felt like Tim was always in our corner and truly wanted to find the best home for us; we could always ask as many questions as we wanted and were never pressured into anything we didn't want. Tim has a wonderful wealth of knowledge not only about the neighborhoods and construction companies of the area, but about the entire process of home buying. Tim was also understanding of our fluctuating schedules and always did his best to accommodate us. At one point we had to put our home search on hold for a month and Tim was perfectly understanding; he kept in touch with us but never pressured us or made us feel that we were wasting his time. Furthermore, our two-year-old son was often with us when we were looking at homes, and Tim was as genuinely kind and attentive to him as he was to us. We always felt like we were valued as individuals and as a family, not just as a means to a bottom line. We would absolutely recommend Tim Hart to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is a kind, thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable professional and his integrity and personal attention made this process really memorable and painless for us!

 " Thank you for being candid and honest during the whole process. "   Tim, thanks for all of your help along the way. Even before we listed the property you were making it easier for us to know how to ready the property and providing the ease of access to do so. Thank you for being candid and honest during the whole process. Working with you removed much of the anxiety created by distance, unfamiliarity with market, contractors, and the selling process as it has evolved since we last completed a real estate transaction many years ago. Since both Cole and Casey love the Bozeman area, maybe someday our family will work with you again. Casey even named his son “Bridger” after those awesome mountains!  Thanks again!

 " When we had questions, he was eager and willing to answer those questions without hesitation. "   We have used Tim Hart for several of our real estate transactions in the past few years and would commend him for his integrity, availability and knowledge of his field.  When we had questions, he was eager and willing to answer those questions without hesitation.  We felt that he was going to do the best deal for us and never felt pressured in any of our decisions, yet felt that he was someone who had enough experience that we were confident in the suggestions he gave to us.

 " I would highly recommend Tim as an excellent agent who always puts his clients’ needs first. "   Tim Hart was invaluable in helping us find the right home when we moved to Bozeman. He worked hard to understand our needs, listened to our concerns and provided valuable information on neighborhoods and builders. His attention to detail and broad network of relationships helped to secure a timely inspection and ensure a smooth closing. Tim’s professionalism during the buying process convinced us to engage him to interview and recommend a selling agent for our home in another state, saving us a great deal of time and stress. I would highly recommend Tim as an excellent agent who always puts his clients’ needs first.

"     Tim Hart from Hart Real Estate Solutions has been the best realtor we could hope for. He used all of his offices resources to find us a house that perfectly matched our wants, needs and financial requirements. Tim insured our success by making our search HIS search. His attention to detail insured our purchase was at the best price and all needed purchase steps were completed stress free. We came from another state so Tim gave us specific info/contacts about utilities, insurance and needed businesses, in the area, insuring our smooth transition. THANK YOU Tim for fulfilling our dream!!

 " I would definitely recommend Tim Hart as a realtor and will use him again when we have a need. "     We were looking to purchase a lot to build a home on in Bozeman, MT while living in Minnesota. Tim was extremely helpful, both during the initial search process and then through the follow up process, all the way to closing. I would definitely recommend Tim Hart as a realtor and will use him again when we have a need.

 " We have never had this type of real estate experience with other realtors, ever. "     Thank you, Hart! You guys were so responsive to us, it was a real surprise! We have never had this type of real estate experience with other realtors, ever. Though none of the others were 'bad', you were definitely in a higher class. We especially appreciated your looking out for us on every detail, making the buy-sell process easy, suggesting top-notch third parties, and guiding us through to the end of the process.

 " Because Tim has developed a reputation in the community as not only a Realtor but as a quality individual, he was able to put us in touch with all of the right people to help with everything from lending to the inspection. "   As first time home buyers, Tyson and I had much to learn.  We knew we wanted to buy but were quite unaware of all that can happen in this grand endeavor.  We decided to start researching on our own but were in need of guidance. That’s when Tyson’s dad, Barry, gave Tim a call all the way from Boston, Massachusetts.  Barry is a caring man who always looks out for his son and pursued Tim without our knowledge. Tim took the time to talk to Barry on the phone and after many questions were answered and laughs exchanged, Barry decided that Tyson and I needed to meet with Tim.  From day one, Tim made us feel comfortable asking questions and devoted much of his time to educate us on the entire real estate process.  We never felt any pressure from Tim while looking at properties. He gave us the facts without offering his opinion unless we asked for it. He is a very intuitive person and knows when his clients like or dislike something. Tim’s experience, patience and kindness helped us finally find the house that we instantly fell in love with.  We began the process of buying this house and Tim gracefully walked us through every step and every hiccup along the way.  Because Tim has developed a reputation in the community as not only a Realtor but as a quality individual, he was able to put us in touch with all of the right people to help with everything from lending to the inspection.  So many times he went out of his way to answer our questions and be a true friend while listening to our concerns.  He also took time on his weekend to show the house to my visiting family.  He was always easy to reach and he always made our best interest his priority.   He became a trusted friend and a guide into this world of house ownership.  I know that we would not have our dream home if it were not for Tim’s diligence, attention to detail and his compassion for clients.  I would recommend Tim Hart and his services to anyone looking to have a great experience in buying a home.

 " Tim is different. Tim is interested in you and your needs. Tim is friendly, personable and genuinely concerned about your home needs. "   It was our recent privilege to have Tim Hart as our realtor. Bozeman is full of realtors, many of them who simply seem to be looking to hook you on the best, most expensive sale for the sake of their own commission. Tim is different. Tim is interested in you and your needs. Tim is friendly, personable and genuinely concerned about your home needs. Tim is reliable and returned texts and calls quickly. He truly helped you think through the purchase process and what you needed to effectively purchase a home for your family. Not just a house, but a home. Tim was responsive and lightning- fast when helping us to bid on homes in which were interested. He helped us to find the right home for us through a very thorough search utilizing the latest in real estate technology. Once we had a contract on our new home Tim helped us find the different problems and communicated with the builder for us to get them fixed. Tim is helpful, very friendly and a very thorough agent. He takes representing you very seriously and wants you to be happy with your purchase. IF we move again, Tim will be our first call!

 " You need an experience that is as low stress as possible, and they make that work. " My husband and I recently sold our house through Tim and Lori Hart.  From start to finish, this couple was super to deal with. They were always quick to answer our questions, and very friendly in the process. Tim and Lori were very reliable in all their undertakings with us; they were where they said they would be and always on time. I was impressed with the fact that they went through all the paperwork in detail, making sure that we understood what was happening. Lori was quite something to observe as she went about photographing our house for the websites. No detail escaped her eagle eye. Both Lori and Tim have a firm grasp of the local real estate scene and used their knowledge to gain us a quick sale. We felt like part of the Hart’s family as we went through this process.  We were made to feel valuable and our comments and concerns were taken seriously and always responded to.If you want to buy or sell a home, I truly do recommend Lori and Tim Hart. You need an experience that is as low stress as possible, and they make that work.

 " He did everything and more that we could ask our agent to do and provided terrific insight along the way. "     I've known Tim professionally for five years. Tim is a very knowledgeable RE Agent with high integrity. I specifically sought him out for my most recent purchase in the Big Sky area and he was a great asset in our negotiation and purchase process. He did everything and more that we could ask our agent to do and provided terrific insight along the way. I highly recommend working with Tim for your Bozeman, Big Sky and Moonlight Basin real estate needs.

 " Tim and his staff were extremely knowledgeable... There is one word to describe the service and experience ... super. "   It was a pleasure working with Tim Hart and his staff at Hart Real Estate Solutions regarding the purchase of a home and acreage in Bozeman, Montana in the fall of 2015/spring of 2016.  The purchase was complicated in that it was a short sale, took a long-time for two lenders to approve the price and terms, and had some non-everyday real estate documents.   Tim's many years of experience in all aspects of the real estate process was evident and proved invaluable leading to a successful purchase. Some examples of superior services and solutions: —Providing a time line and milestones early in the purchase; this helped understand process and provided an overview. —Having integrity, local knowledge, and paying attention to detail were helpful. —Having established ties with local companies facilitated property inspection and selection of a firm to handle the closing. —Exhibiting a willingness to discuss anything related to the purchase including truthfully and reliably answering many questions. —Responding honestly when he (or staff) did not know the answer, but always following-up. —Advising when something was really not important so that time and attention could be given to important items. Tim and his staff were extremely knowledgeable regarding the purpose and language of the many documents that had to be reviewed and signed; signing was accomplished electronically and saved a lot of time. There is one word to describe the service and experience ... super.

 " Tim not only took the time to know the places we were touring, but he took the time to know me, my family, and our needs and wants. "   As a first-time home-buyer and single woman, I entered into the process of selecting a dwelling with a lot of trepidation.  Unsure of the wisdom of purchasing a home at this time in my life, the ins and outs of financing, and the actual specifications that were important to me, I was blessed to work with Tim Hart as my realtor.  Tim not only walked me through dozens of homes, but he also walked me through the cumbersome process with a perpetual smile on his face, recommending mortgage financiers and inspectors, knocking on neighbors’ doors for insider information and calling the city to discuss zoning, wriggling through crawl spaces and testing fence stability.  Tim not only took the time to know the places we were touring, but he took the time to know me, my family, and our needs and wants. However, most of all, Tim became our friend.  He called to check on us when times became tough, prayed over the house with friends the day we closed, and followed-up numerous times in the months following our move.  At the end of this process, not only did I end up with the perfect home for my family, at a fair and affordable price, but I gained a friend and brother-in-Christ; someone who still cares to ask how work’s going, whether I finished the book on my coffee table, and what runs we skied on Saturday.

 " He cares about people and he works hard easing their load during the stressful times of transition. " Finding a house in Bozeman from Temple, TX, appeared complicated.  My possibilities for being on the ground in Bozeman (with my wife) would be limited.  I needed more than just help.  I needed someone who would listen to my needs, be respectful of my budget, and who cared more about the best fit for us than the best deal for him.  I needed someone I could trust, someone who was willing to do (more than) a little extra. When I met Tim Hart I sensed that I had found my man, and my experience with him over the past year have proved him to be the best agent I could have possibly had.  My first encounter with Tim was through his website, one of the most most user-friendly sites I had found in my frantic searching.  The website led to phone conversations.  I finally got to meet him personally and felt completely at peace with his style.  He is extremely knowledgeable of the market in this area and knows each neighborhood's distinct characteristics.  After a couple of viewings he had an uncanny sense of what we were looking for.  If we insisted on viewing a property that he was not optimistic about our satisfaction, his instincts proved true every time.  And yet he was patient and NEVER pushy.  He gave us the time we needed to make decisions that pleased us.  We love our new place! However, finding the house we wanted was only the beginning.  Perhaps people relocating across town have a much simpler time of transition and need little extra assistance.  We were 1500 miles away and totally handicapped when imagining how to put everything together.  Tim made it happen.  First, we had trouble with our mortgage broker.  We had been approved through underwriting for a mortgage amount above what we were going to need.  It seemed simple.  But then the broker hit us with the news that they couldn't finance the home because it was a part of a condominium complex that was only 63% complete.  The home is actually part of a duplex in a neighborhood with a broad Home Owners Association that functions as a condo. The final project will be the addition of more quality homes like ours.  It didn't matter.  We were stuck.  Tim to the rescue!  He got us in contact with a local bank's mortgage broker and everything eventually came together.  He also managed the local connections for inspector, appraiser, blind contractors, and cabinet contractor (we had requested additional cabinets as a condition of sale).  He even introduced us to managers of a couple of furniture stores and gave us a tour of The Ridge Athletic Center!  An issue I would have never thought of for the inspector was a Radon gas test.  Tim insisted on it.  Good thing!  Our basement had levels above the recommended level and Tim had us include a Radon gas exhaust system as a condition of sale.  Now we are safe as well. Tim is a professional, but also a great human being.  He cares about people and he works hard easing their load during the stressful times of transition.  I have worked with good agents several times in Texas and Saskatchewan, but Tim Hart has been the one with whom I have felt the most comfortable. I feel like I am more than just a client.  I not only have a new home in Bozeman, I have a new friend!

 " His knowledge of the market and locations in Bozeman made us feel at ease with making this purchase. "     Tim went above and beyond what we expected from our realtor. We live out of the Bozeman area and he was more than willing to accommodate us as best he could. He toured the home with our daughters and used FaceTime with us as he showed the house so we saw everything they did in “real time”. His experience dealing with offers and closing the deal were invaluable to us.  His knowledge of the market and locations in Bozeman made us feel at ease with making this purchase. Tim never lost interest in the deal and walked us through the final walk through and the closing. We could not have been happier with his professionalism and attention to detail.

 " We feel Hart Real Estate Solutions went beyond expectation... "     Our Jackson Creek home purchase had several unique moving parts requiring a great deal of extra work for the realtor. Tim and his crew in our absence represented our best interest with contractors, surveyors and the bank. We feel Hart Real Estate Solutions went beyond expectation and beyond the call of duty to provide our family excellent service.

 " Tim Hart changed our lives 3 years ago. " Let me just say that Tim Hart changed our lives 3 years ago in May. After not having a home for over 5 years, Tim came in to our lives and helped us buy the home of our dreams out here in River Rock. He represented my husband and I AND the seller..was extremely professional and fair to the BOTH of us. At a time when I thought it couldn't happen in our lives, Tim made EVERY effort to help us. He was very prompt in returning phone calls, in dealings with Wells Fargo, and also in contacting the sellers in a very timely fashion. Tim Hart was the bomb for Becky and Rodney Copenhaver. I will forever be thankful for this man, his kindness and compassion for us at a very difficult time in our lives. Oh, and not to mention. We looked at our house the very end of April and we closed May 31. I have never had a purchase of a home happen so fast. Thank you Tim Hart! You rock!

 " If Tim was willing to work that hard without me even hiring just imagine what he was capable of doing when I did. "   As a first time homebuyer I had a lot of questions. Tim was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He never once pushed the idea that I should hire him. Tim took the time to answer all my questions and walk me through the whole process about buying a home. If Tim was willing to work that hard without me even hiring just imagine what he was capable of doing when I did. I was not disappointed. He sent me updates on houses in my price range almost daily. That's where I found my house. Answered my questions promptly, carefully read and explained all the paperwork. He provided competent people for the house inspection and even sent me a checklist of things to do to finish the sale. All of this plus a very nice, enthusiastic and thoughtful attitude. For a first time buyer or even an experienced buyer I strongly recommend Tim.

 " I truly believe Tim cares about his clients, and... " We have purchased both a home and a condo from Tim Hart. He is without a doubt one of the most conscientious, trustworthy people we have ever had the privilege to work with. When my aunt from California was interested in purchasing property in Bozeman, I didn’t hesitate to put her in touch with Tim. Once again, we were met with well-beyond the usual representation. He has shown us numerous properties numerous times. My aunt feared he must be getting impatient, but that never happened. I truly believe Tim cares about his clients, and is only interested in finding them the right property at the right price; and he didn’t stop until he found it. A mixture of integrity and professionalism that is hard to find these days.

 " He answered all questions promptly and responded to requests within a reasonable time. "   I recommend Tim highly. We found him online. He listened to what we wanted. He spent hours taking us to various homes within our price range during times which were convenient to us. He was always available including evenings and weekends. We looked at well over 20 homes. He answered all questions promptly and responded to requests within a reasonable time. It is a very hot market in Bozeman and he supplied us with new listings as they came up and sent us information on the properties so that we could quickly determine if they were of interest to us. I would use him again and recommend him without reservation.

 " Any time we hear folks mention buying a home, we love getting to tell them about Tim Hart. "     Tim helped my wife and I buy our first home. He was extremely patient with us as we explored a vast number of homes, and when we finally decided to build our own, he was very adept at drawing u p contracts to make sure it was done right and on deadline. His knowledge, expertise, integrity, and patience were incredible. We can't thank him enough, and since he and his family were such a pleasure to be around, our transaction turned into a friendship. Any time we hear folks mention buying a home, we love getting to tell them about Tim Hart.

 " Tim dedicated long hours and many miles in familiarizing me to the local market. " I have thirty years of investing in commercial and residential property. Throughout this period I have encountered most personality types, the full array of sales pitches and differing professional styles. I can say that I have been thoroughly impressed with the service Tim has offered over the twelve months. Tim’s attributes are reflected in his professional approach, this coupled with sound market knowledge of the broader Bozeman area delivers an outstanding experience. Tim was willing to facilitate my unique requests as a foreign buyer into the US property market. On my initial visit to Bozeman Tim dedicated long hours and many miles in familiarizing me to the local market. Tim offered sound advice, with a high level of integrity and honesty to the point that I was able to purchase a property ‘site-unseen’. My purchase was supported through Tim’s network professional service providers. My purchase was not without challenges, but I have to acknowledge Tim’s tenacity and focus on achieving results. If can sum this up, when you engage Tim Hart, you synergize as a team to successfully pursue a goal.

 "There is no one better to have on your team..."    We found the help received by Tim to surpass our greatest expectations in a market so badly bruised by conditions beyond our control. He went to the mat for us and never stopped making us feel like we were his number one clients though I knew he was very busy with several more prestigious accounts. All I can say is that there is no one better to have on your team and, seriously...may his kind increase!

 " When we finally found something, he allowed us to make an informed decision, without any pressure – just logical thoughts and opinions." Realtor. That title has a connotation, in your mind, right now. You're thinking of someone you know or once knew. You're thinking of an experience you had in real estate where you had to work with a Realtor. These days almost everyone knows a Realtor or has a friend/sibling/relative that does this. It's easy to ask on Facebook "Anyone know a good realtor in this town?" and get a few responses. Everyone will recommend a realtor they know. But is that really what you want? A realtor is someone that takes you through the process of making a very large and complicated purchase. They are there to help you make a tough decision, with their wisdom and expertise, and to provide counsel. They guide you through the journey of buying something that you intend to call home for a long time. Why would you pick one based on a recommendation of a friend that's never even been their client? Tim Hart is a realtor. Tim Hart is the realtor you should use. Not because I went to high school with him, or because we're old buddies, or because I get a finders fee for referrals... but because Tim Hart is an excellent realtor. When you're going into a home buying purchase, it doesn't matter if he's a friend of a friend that has a nice smile. You want someone with integrity, patience, and reliability. Integrity is an obvious word when describing someone providing service, but what do we mean by it when looking for a realtor? It's such a hard quality to read until you've been with the realtor for some time. Tim didn't pressure us into buying anything. When we finally found something, he allowed us to make an informed decision, without any pressure - just logical thoughts and opinions. We looked at several homes, and even considered holding off our search until more homes came on the market. Tim gave us no grief over the idea of waiting for the home we want. He was very patient, and even showed us the same house a few times so we could really think about the decision. We never felt like we were inconveniencing him. Some realtors make you work around their schedule. Tim graciously worked with ours. Reliability. That's a term we all can understand, unless you drive a Saab. Tim was the Honda Civic of realtors. Always there when we needed him and often available early morning or late evening. In our previous home purchase, in a different state, we had a realtor that was 'seasoned' and nearing retirement. There are tradeoffs when you factor age into a realtor. A younger realtor may not have the patience in looking at every home that's for sale in the area, but they may be more aggressive in negotiating. An older realtor may take things slower, but they'll have more patience in working with you. Tim is a perfect mix of experience and gusto. We thoroughly enjoyed his input and guidance when looking at the various neighborhoods, and when it came time to negotiate, Tim was spot on. He even suggested a few things we didn't think we'd get as part of the repair addendum. The relationships he has with existing brokers in the area is also a huge plus. Ultimately, you have to make the decision of which realtor matches your needs. Tim may not be the recommendation from your Aunt, or long lost friend from high school... but he's my recommendation.
