Hi! We are Marrie & John Schaffer
As multi-generational Montanans, we know Helena the way only locals can: the neighborhoods where families put down roots, the streets that flood in spring, the subdivisions still growing on the east side, and the historic blocks downtown where every house has a story. That’s not something you can learn from a map or a real estate license course. It comes from living here, raising families here, and building a career here.
We guide you through every step of the home buying and selling process in Helena, MT. Navigating it alone can be overwhelming, so we help you find homes within your price range, connect with buyers, assist with paperwork, and handle all the details. Whether you’re buying your first home in Helena, upgrading to more space in East Helena, or finally making the move to acreage in the surrounding valleys, we meet you where you are.
We’re proud to operate under Big Sky Brokers, LLC, Helena’s award-winning local brokerage, which gives our clients access to the most comprehensive MLS data, the largest local referral network of mortgage brokers, attorneys, home inspectors, and stagers, and a trusted brand that Helena buyers and sellers have counted on for years. When you work with us, you get the personal attention of a two-person team and the resources of Helena’s leading brokerage.
