A boutique brokerage · Est. 2011
Hearthstone represents a small number of exceptional houses each season — priced honestly, presented beautifully, and sold without spectacle.
Current portfolio
Willow Bend
$1,180,000
A chef’s kitchen at the heart of a half-acre lot, with sunset views west across the orchard line. Quiet, but never remote.
Saltbrook Shore
$1,240,000
Cedar shingles silvering on schedule, hydrangeas that predate the fence, and four unhurried blocks to the beach stairs.
Alder Park
$689,000
A single-level mid-century with every system quietly renewed — roof, panel, furnace — and a five-minute walk to the school gates.
Where we work
Six pockets of the city, walked weekly. We can tell you which blocks flood in February and which magnolias bloom first.
Ivy Gate — Interwar brick Tudors on 50-foot lots, a Saturday farmers’ market, and the city’s best-kept elementary school. Homes here sold in a median of 9 days last spring.
The Heights — Walk-to-everything flats and townhomes; the entry point to the market. First-time buyers make up 6 of every 10 purchases we close here.
Saltbrook Shore — Cedar shingles, beach stairs, and strict coastal setbacks that keep supply scarce. Only 14 homes traded here in all of 2025.
Miravista — Spanish revival on the hill, with courtyards and long views. Restored homes command a 12% premium over unrenovated neighbors.
2025, by the numbers
We publish our results every January. A quiet process should still be an accountable one.

Selling with Hearthstone
No open-house circus, no flattering fictions. A disciplined launch that treats your home like the asset it is.
We walk the house, pull every comparable within eight blocks, and give you a price we’d defend to an appraiser — not one chosen to win the listing.
Two weeks of editing, repairs, and staging with our own inventory. Photography happens at the hour your rooms look their best, not when the schedule allows.
Private previews for qualified buyers and their agents before the listing goes wide. Serious interest arrives before the first public weekend.
Every offer summarized in plain English within hours. We negotiate terms as hard as price — and we’re still answering your calls a year after keys.
The people
The person who wins your listing is the person at your closing table. That is the whole org chart.
Founder · Broker
Fifteen years and 400-odd closings, most of them within a mile of her own front door in Ivy Gate. Margaret prices houses the way appraisers wish agents would.
$31M sold in 2025 · 98% repeat & referral
Partner · Listings
A former architect who reads floor plans like sheet music. Daniel runs our staging and photography, and his listings average six days faster than the market.
Median 8 days on market · 105% of list
Partner · Buyers
June has talked more clients out of houses than into them. Her buyers waive fewer contingencies and still win — because her offers are clean, not desperate.
61 buyers represented · 0 post-close regrets filed
They told us a number $40,000 below what two other agents promised. Then they sold it for $61,000 more than any of them said we’d get.— The Harlands, sold in Ivy Gate, March 2026
Thinking of selling?
A private, unhurried valuation from the broker herself. No listing contract, no follow-up campaign — just the honest figure and how we’d earn it.
