Hearth & Home got its start in the heart and mind of founder David DeCan when he experienced the pain of sitting in on a closing for a home he had sold. The commission was $18,000 on the sale of a $300,000 home. David asked himself if the agents in this transaction did $18,000 worth of work. Being honest with himself, he had to answer “no”. This was the true birth of the Hearth & Home concept—doing a quality job of selling homes for less. Soon after this experience David started promotions offering to sell homes for 3.99%. After two years of amazing success David left his position with a large franchised real estate firm to open Hearth & Home. His assistant Carrie Harnist came with him and they moved into their new location at 2412 River Road, in Missoula, Montana. What makes Hearth & Home different from the myriad of other real estate brokerages in the State? First, we are a local company with a national reach. Through the miracle of the internet we are able to market homes locally as well as nationally through 35 assorted web sites. Expect your home to be seen on Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Montana Regional MLS, Bitterroot MLS, and many, many other web sites. As well, your home will be highlighted on our web site www.hearthandhomemontana.com. Truly the playing field has been leveled. The national companies and franchises do not have an advantage anymore. List local to be seen nationally is the byword here. Second, our commitment to integrity and the Golden Rule. Treat others how you want to be treated. We live by this. We are committed to having clients become friends in every transaction. Friends take care of friends. At Hearth & Home it is our goal for you to feel taken care of and for your real estate ventures to be handled thoroughly, professionally, with honesty and integrity.
