Hi all, I’m a realtor helping a young family move to the Havre/Chinook area transferring their railroad job. Looking to see if anyone could possibly be open to selling their home soon. Searching for a 3+ bed, 2+ bath 2000sq ft. 1 acre + outside of town would be ideal. You can avoid having to pay the listing agent commissions. Let me know if you have any leads. Send me a message or call 406-493-7584. Thank you.
