Tim understands that whether moving your family or business across the street or across the nation, home buying and selling can be an exciting and stressful experience. Tim has developed the systems necessary to effectively market properties for sale in Gallatin County, taking the stress out of a property sale or purchase. He is diligent and courteous with his colleagues, other real estate professionals and the builders/suppliers necessary to facilitate a successful real estate transaction.
Lori has a passion for real estate that dates back to 1983. She has a passion for serving others, which has always been the motivating factor in everything she does.
After graduating from Montana State University’s Jake Jabs College of Business & Entrepreneurship with a degree in Marketing, Erica chose to pursue a career in real estate. Being raised in Montana by two Real Estate Brokers, she has found herself immersed in the world of real estate since a young age. Because of this, Erica has not only gained a love for the Montana lifestyle, but passion and knowledge for the industry and local area.
As an established real estate professional, Annemarie brings 15 years of real estate experience with her from the Northern Nevada and Northern California markets. She has worked as an agent with corporate and independent brokerages, institutional investors and private developers, providing her with a broad range of experience in both residential and commercial real estate. Having earned her CCIM designation in 2006, she is well versed in working with a full scope of clients including landlords, tenants, buyers, sellers, investors and developers. Her understanding of client representation is balanced by attention to detail throughout the transaction, from start to finish.
Tim will shoot you straight, give you all the available options, and work hard to make sure you are satisfied for years to come. Tim works with land, residential and commercial property transactions—whether first-time homebuyers, real estate investors, those in search of elite or luxury properties, developers or anyone in between. While Tim does an exceptional job at guiding his clients through the purchase or sale of a home, he is most interested in the relationships he builds with his clients. He recognizes that meeting his client’s needs starts with a good relationship. As a result, you receive more than just good real estate service and advice. This philosophy is evident in his commitment as a husband, father and community member in Bozeman, Montana. So, when he is not serving his clients, you can find him either serving his community or spending time with family and friends in the rivers and mountains.
Best described by her clients as hard working, genuine, a highly skilled negotiator and trusted advisor, Lori values relationships over transactions. With over 38 years as a real estate professional, investor and attorney, Lori offers an integrated approach to real estate, serving each client’s individual needs and goals. By earning her clients trust and respect, she enjoys long standing relationships with them, and many have become repeat customers and friends. Lori’s breadth of experience, local knowledge and relationships with other agents and suppliers, coupled with her thorough understanding of the buying and selling process, elevate Lori and the Hart Real Estate team to the top tier of real estate professionals.
Combining her background in marketing with her love for all things Montana, Erica brings a unique perspective and skillset to the table. In order to best serve her clients, she aims to build lasting relationships with them, be a trusted advocate for them, and ultimately guide them to achieve their goals. With the area becoming one of the West’s most sought-after destinations, real estate transactions are becoming more stressful and complicated than ever. With patience and diligence, Erica hopes to ease the process and make it enjoyable.
When not serving her clients, she enjoys spending time with family in beautiful Montana, creating fine art and entertaining friends.
When Erica is out of the office, you can find her searching for powder or exploring Big Sky Country with her Golden Retriever, Millie!
“I don’t think I could have selected more capable, knowledgeable, and hard-working brokers to represent me and my home.”
Beyond her experience and tailored approach to each client’s needs, Annemarie is described by others as vivacious, kind, professional and determined. She is a trusted advocate and skilled advisor. Annemarie enjoys the mountain life under the Big Sky of Montana and can be found on the trails or traveling to the next outdoor adventure in her spare time.
