Our story

A home is where life happens. We help you choose it.

Hearth & Key is a small, licensed brokerage rooted in Cedar Hollow and the Maple Valley — made for the families that busy firms hurry past.

Why we started

Begun over a kitchen table.

Nineteen years ago our founder, Nora, almost lost her first home over paperwork nobody took the time to explain. She resolved that if she ever guided other buyers, she would slow everything down and explain each step before anyone signed.

That resolve became Hearth & Key: a brokerage where first-time buyers are given time, where selling the house you raised children in is handled with care, and where you deal directly with a full-time licensed broker, not a call centre.

We stay small by choice. It means we attend every showing, return every call ourselves, and sit beside you at the closing table.

What we stand for

Our values

Patience first

We go at your pace. No pressure, no jargon, and no question is too small to ask twice.

Candid advice

Pricing drawn from recent closed sales, the drawbacks stated plainly, and every fee and form explained in writing.

Local know-how

We live on these streets, so we know the school boundaries, the commutes and which blocks hold their value.
