Eleanor Hartley
Founder & Senior Advisor
“I started Hearth & Home because buying a house felt cold and complicated — and finding a home shouldn't. Sixteen years later, nothing makes me happier than handing over keys to a family who can already picture Sunday mornings in the kitchen.”

From our families
Kind words from real doorsteps.
They never once rushed us. When we wobbled, Eleanor talked us through it like family. We're writing this from our new kitchen table.
Warm, honest and genuinely on our side. They even spotted damp the other agent hid. We trusted them completely — and still do.
The house-warming hamper made me cry. It's rare to feel like a person and not a transaction. Thank you, truly, all of you.
No pressure, ever
