Denise Carr and Hart Realty are the best! My husband and I worked with Denise for over 1 1/2 years. When we started looking, we had only a general sense for what was possible in the (small) area in which we wanted to live. Denise helped us hone that sense by asking great questions, walking us through homes and spending as much time with us as we needed. Complicating the search process, we were only local part of the year, and Denise kept us informed about which new listings might suit us. Throughout, the process was low pressure and totally focused on what we were comfortable with. Denise wanted us to fall in love with the house we would finally end up with and was certain that would happen. On the other hand, the market was tight for our desired location, and when we (twice) saw a house we really wanted, Denise worked day and night to write up offers and counteroffers quickly.
Denise really excelled in shepherding us through the offer and closing process. She was able to point us to a lender who preapproved us on a Sunday afternoon when we wanted to make a sudden offer early in the process and with whom we eventually worked. She got answers to our multitude of questions on the house and closing process, often within minutes (!) and had great advice on negotiations around the inspection process. We had travel out of the country planned when we offered on the house; Denise assured us we could complete the closing process while not in town and she expertly handled the details of making that happen.
Denise was low key and low pressure, totally knowledgeable and competent, a tireless worker on our behalf, and she helped us find a house we really love. We would recommend her to any of our friends and use her again in a HARTbeat! 2019
My husband and I used Denise Carr as both a buying and a selling agent. Denise excelled at both. When we sold our smaller, older home, she was engaged in helping us determine what work needed to be done to put the house in excellent shape. She also had a great list of people to do the necessary work- painters, floor refinishers, a person to do repointing on our outside fireplace... you name it, she was able to help. Denise encouraged us to stage the house professionally, and that gave us a totally different perspective on how we could have set up the space in the 25 years we owned the house.
Denise is great at pricing houses at a price fair to buyer and seller and one that will move a property quickly. We had offers appear quickly, but our ancient electrical wiring put too many restrictions on what a buyer could do, so Denise helped us locate an electrician to rewire the house quickly. We then sold the property to another buyer within her company without the hassle of relisting at a fair (and increased) value. Denise made us feel super confident about our decisions at every step in the process, even when we had to pivot and head in another direction to prepare the house for sale. Exceptional judgment and exceptional service- that's Denise Carr 2020
This deal to sell my house took almost 1 year! Shes been so super to work with! Shes had to listen to me whine, cry & hold my hand because theres just been one problem after another. I think she is the hardest working, kindest person Ive ever met. Shes now working with me to sell my personal house & Im so glad!!! Shes the best ever! 2024
Denise was wonderful to work with!! Anytime I needed a question answered she was responsive!! She made me feel safe, buying the biggest purchase of my life!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home.. 2019
Denise Carr is more than a realtor. She helped my delicate situation with thoughtful compassion. I was looking for a home after making the decision to relocate after losing my husband to cancer a few years back. This was a scary time for me as a widow and newly single mother. Denise was able to guide me through this process with her wealth of knowledge and wonderful connections to the community. We were able to find the perfect place to begin anew in this beautiful area. Everyone was excellent to work with and made everything run smoothly. They really do find solutions to their clients needs. Tara M. 2018
My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Denise on the sale of our first home , one that will always hold a special place in our hearts. The importance of finding the right agent cannot be understated, and Denise certainly has checked all of our boxes and raised the bar for all future sales. She was organized, professional, personable, kind, and understanding throughout the process. She has connections in the industry that make for an invaluable well of knowledge and her market expertise is spot on. So grateful we found such a wonderful friend and agent. -The Corbetts 2021
Selling the home I had lived in for 28 years and then buying two properties, one to live in and one to use as a rental, was an incredible challenge for me. Denise's expertise and attention to detail was second to none. Denise was unbelievably flexible and patient when it came to me finding a place to live. I also appreciate how much she put the heart in real estate. Selling a home youve lived in for as long I did wasnt just a business transaction to me. I so appreciated the emotional support I got throughout the process. Sharon D
When we started our home search we were hesitant about the Bozeman market. We felt what we were looking for was out of reach. We knew that our Realtor would have to be patient with us while we took our time to find the right house. Denise was a perfect match as she worked with us on our own schedule. She paid attention to our needs and was extremely responsive to all of our requests. She offered tons of experiential guidance on home buying and pointed out several red flag items that the average home buyer would not be aware of. When we finally found the right home, Denise helped us to act quickly and guided us through the home purchase. She was incredibly thorough in her review of our purchase agreement. The process felt secure from beginning to end knowing that she genuinely cared about us. Looking back, the only regret I have is not calling Denise sooner! If you are thinking about buying in Bozeman or the surrounding area, I highly recommend that you call Denise Carr, she is awesome, she has a passion for her work, and she will help you navigate the housing market.

Our son accepted a job for the City of Bozeman, so we started looking for an apartment for him, to no avail. We looked up real estate agents for Bozeman and called Keller Williams Realty. Luckily Denise Carr answered the phone that day. After speaking with Denise for a while, we knew we had the perfect person for Brian. We are from Scottsdale, Arizona, so we couldnt be in Bozeman to look at properties. Denise would take the time to go and video and FaceTime the properties with us. Its hard to find those qualities in many real estate agents. We put in some offers that didnt pan out, but she said we would find Brian a place, and we had all the confidence in the world in Denise. She found a condo in Brians price range and he is happy and moved in. If you are looking for an agent, look no further than Carr Montana Realtors. Denise and Don are special people. They truly care about the people they serve. Sincerely, Brian, Doug, and Donna
We worked with both Denise and Don Carr and they are excellent. When we first started our home search in Bozeman we werent quite sure what we were looking for. Denise worked with us for months, showing us houses and giving us good insight on the market. Ultimately, we decided that buying a lot and building was the right thing for us, and Don stepped in to find us a great property. Were it not for Dons research and on the ground diligence efforts, we would not have found the property that we bought. We are glad that we got connected with Denise and Don and highly recommend them. Adam and Chelsey S. 2021
My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and not in a hurry to buy. In fact, we started out as casual as could be, not even knowing what, when or where we wanted to own a home, which is why Denise has been our guide for years. Not only did she help us hone in on what we truly wanted, but she helped us narrow down all decisions every step of the way. And for any answer she doesnt have or for finding the right folks to help with the process, she has the best referrals. Buying our first home was a huge learning process and she recommended our most ideal lender, inspector, tree trimmer, gutter guys, you name it, she has wonderful relationships with the best. She took us to countless showings, drew up quite a few offers and supported us when we lost them. Ultimately, she got us into the house that was meant for us and made all the lost offers so worth it. She and Don Carrthe best dynamic duofeel like family now. They are knowledgeable, strategic and creative, ethical and caring, and wed recommend them to anyone! --Lauren 2021
I would not hesitate at all using Carr Montana Realty. We worked with agent Denise Carr and she is exceptional at her job. She worked diligently to find us the home we were dreaming of. Night or day, I knew I could call her with questions. Denise went above any real estate agent we have used in the past to help us with our out of town closing, including meeting people at the house for necessary appointments. The whole process could not have gone any smoother. Angela S
As a first time homebuyer, Denise could not have been more helpful in navigating the process. There are so many characteristics that stood out to me throughout. In particular it was her communication and teamwork that really made this experience easy, and stress-free. With all of the moving parts, and at times unexpected obstacles, Denises experience was noticeable, particularly as there was always plan. Each step was thought out, explained, and executed. I could not recommend her enough as a realtor, always looking out for her clients best interests. 2023
have purchased several homes over the years and I can say without question the Carr team is the most professional and efficient I have ever worked with. As is common with buyers, the original "list" of things we wanted changed once we started looking at homes. Denise took one night to adjust and match what we really wanted vs what we first thought. Within two days we had found the perfect home for our family. Denise was great to work with throughout and made sure we were informed all during the process. I highly recommend Denise! Jim S. 2018
My husband and I decided to look for a real estate agent over 2000 miles away and were concerned about finding a honest, dependable, and knowledge agent willing to help us with our journey. After interviewing several agents, we settled comfortably with the decision of entrusting Denise Carr.
Right from the beginning, We knew we had a special agent to team up with for the challenge. What a challenge the journey has been! But with a fighter like Denise, we knew that things were going to work out, and that she would protect our interests. With the challenging Bozeman market, Denise was right on top of not only business, but in ensuring our personal well being was equally as important. This is not a trait you often find in a real estate agent. But then again , she is not just a real estate agent, she is a class act all the way. We cannot say enough about Denise. She is an outstanding agent and with as much character as any person Ive ever done business with yet . My husband and I have done many business transactions including building and buying homes. Without question, she is the best. We trusted her with our journey in every way and she was a champion! I am proud to say that she helped my husband and me build a perfect home for our needs. We are also equally as proud to call her a dear friend. We look forward to our new journey in Montana, and to the wonderful new friendship with Denise and her husband Don. Thank you Denise Carr for being so special! 2020
One of the most diligent and thorough realtors Ive worked with in my real estate career. Owning commercial, residential, and RV Ive come across all walks of life. Denise is the real deal. She taught me a thing or two! 2023
Denise is absolutely amazing to work with! She was on top of everything and willing to answer any questions at any time of the day. She is always happy and keeps a good attitude no matter what. 2023
We were so lucky to have found Denise! She worked diligently and patiently- helping us search for a home in Bozeman, even when we changed our minds about location. We appreciated her daily/weekly updates and market savvy. Her network of tradespeople for inspections/repairs is worth its weight in gold. She will be a great advocate for you and her positive attitude is so refreshing. 2022
We came to Denise after working with another realtor wasn't working and we can without a doubt say that Denise is the best realtor we've ever worked with! Denise was always on top of the new listing (which in a hot market like Bozeman makes a world of difference), and was quick to help us tour places so we didn't miss out on our dream home in a highly competitive market. With COVID restrictions we were unable to make it to Bozeman to visit the properties, so Denise would send us full video walkthroughs of the houses, including the garages which always seem to be left out! This was a huge help, considering it's often hard to get a good feel for a home through staged photos, not to mention it's great to reference when you're looking at so many places.
Denise has been one of the few realtors we've worked with that felt like she was always learning more about us each day, and it quickly showed in the houses she recommended. We couldn't have been more appreciative that we had her to guide us on neighborhoods, school districts,and everything in between that we didn't know about Bozeman. As first time home buyers, she also took the time to walk us through every document and answer all of our questions (and we had a lot of questions), she never once made us feel like a burden.
Lastly, Denise's responsiveness with us was outstanding. Whether text messages or calls, Denise always had an answer back to us in no time, sometimes so fast it seemed like she knew what we were going to ask before we did. Her expertise in the industry always showed up when we were on the fence about a home or our next decision. We're so happy with our entire engagement with Denise and Hart Real Estate and will recommend Denise to everyone! 2020
"This isn't going to work." This exact phrase came out of my mouth sitting in the living room with my husband. What we are looking to do is too complicated, too stressful and all of it needs to happen too soon.
We had found out just a few days prior that we needed to sell our house, sell my parents-in-laws house and buy a house large enough and yet cheap enough for our small budget! Living in Bozeman means:
Small Home=Expensive; Medium Home=Only for the "rich"; Large Home=No Way!
As I sat crying on my couch with this looming mountain I had to conquer in front of me, I prayed for a miracle. I'm telling the truth when I say that right then I got a phone call from Hart Real Estate Solutions greeting me with the kind voice of Denise Carr on the line. She sounded like no other Real Estate lady, I.e. pushy and over-zealous. She simply treated me like a good friend as though I've known all my life!
Two days later Denise and Lori Hart sat in my living room and mapped out a plan of action and made me feel like I just got a hug and was told "don't worry about a thing, we'll take on this burden and deal with the work and hassle everything."
They did.
They quickly sold both my house and my parents-in-laws house and by their God-given talent and years of experience they found me a large, beautiful home of my dreams that perfectly fits 8 people and for a price I can really afford!
We move in two days and I thank God for the miracle that brought Hart Real Estate Solutions to my aid! 2018
Searching for an investment property, I wasn't sure what to expect; however, in the past, I've had some not quite so nice dealings with Realtors. Denise proved to be the total opposite of that. Not only is Denise a professional who helps to ease any concerns you might have during the home buying process, she's a great person who genuinely cares about helping you find the perfect property for your budget. She was always available to show me properties that she thought would best suit my needs and to answer all my questions along the way. Thank you Denise for making my experience easy and Stress-free and perfect for me. You were always willing to do what I needed done... thank you so much , Denise! I will definitely recommend and refer you to others! 2018
