Testimonials

Since 1996, I have worked with Dennis Hartley for selling my prior townhome and then the purchase of my current home in Redondo Beach. During the years I have known Dennis, he is a true professional and continues to keep in contact with his clients long after the sales work is done. If I should sell my current residence, Dennis will be the one I will call. One thing that is very important is that during the financial melt-down in 2008, many "would-be" or "want to be" real estate agents went away... Reason, they did not know how to weather those financial conditions and were not seasoned real estate personnel. A true professional and expert would know how to pursue in such a traumatic financial climate. That also holds true when one is selling their property or helping one to purchase a new property. Knowledge is key and personal service, which Dennis always provides, makes the transactio…

Let me preface everything by saying this first. If you don’t have Dennis as your Realtor, you are already at a disadvantage! We bought and sold a house with Dennis so I will speak about both experiences separately. Selling our home Dennis made our house look beautiful. To the point where my wife and I started to think why we were even selling this place? He took care of everything and many times went out of his way to make things easy for us. He worked with our schedule, was never pushy and always put us first. We got multiple offers (over asking) after just one open house! Due to some unforeseen issues with the buyer we fell out of escrow. Dennis got us right back into the game and we got more offers on the house right away. Throughout the escrow period, Dennis was always there to answer my calls and texts. He is extremely knowledgeable and always gave sound advice. My conversations wit…

Due to some unforeseen issues with the buyer we fell out of escrow. Dennis got us right back into the game and we got more offers on the house right away. Throughout the escrow period, Dennis was always there to answer my calls and texts. He is extremely knowledgeable and always gave sound advice. My conversations with him were always candid, friendly and informative. Buying our home. We were trying to buy a house in a very tough market and it’s fair to say that we wouldn’t have gotten our beautiful house without Dennis. There were multiple offers on the house and there was a bidding war. Dennis assessed the situation brilliantly and made all the right moves to get us our house. We had some challenges during escrow with the appraisal and loan but Dennis and his team kept everything on track. I highly recommend Dennis to anyone looking for a realtor. The home buying and selling process is cumbersome and stressful. Dennis will steer you in the right direction and take away a lot of stress for the process. He is driven by a motivation to serve his clients and making their dreams come true. I called him ‘Houdini Hartley’ because he makes magic happen! Thank you Dennis for everything!

Dennis Hartley can solve any real estate problem. He is full of resources, including where to purchase items and commercial and private workers of all kinds. He has a sophisticated eye for staging, which we are certain increased our final sale price. He worked well within our budgets of both preparing our old home for sale and our new home purchase. His negotiation skills were fair and accurate. When there were issues on our end, and there were several, he was very emotionally supportive and offered a range of solutions that always worked! Dennis Hartley is very timely in his responses. At every turn, Dennis went above and beyond expectations. Even after the purchase of our new home, Dennis sent a friendly email asking how our remodel was going and extended his help if there was any need. We are 200% satisfied with Dennis “Rockstar” Hartley and would definitely recommend and call on him for all our future real estate needs.

My husband and I chose Dennis as our real estate agent based on the recommendation of friend who had worked with Dennis on several transactions. This friend of ours is a very tough customer and we figured if Dennis impressed this particular friend, then Dennis must be very good at what he does. And, indeed, he is. Dennis came to our first meeting very well prepared with a comprehensive overview of the market as well as strong rationale for the potential listing price of our home. He is very well networked and had a strong offer on our home before it was even listed. He connected us with greatly skilled, fair-priced resources to help us make needed repairs for the sale. While we looked for a new home, Dennis was very attentive to our needs and made sure we saw the latest listings in our search areas and was always available to view homes with us.

While we looked for a new home, Dennis was very attentive to our needs and made sure we saw the latest listings in our search areas and was always available to view homes with us. One thing we really appreciated was the fact that Dennis never pushed us to consider spending over what we said was our budget (something we’ve experienced in the past). He simply sought to understand what was most important and appealing to us and spent his efforts trying to get us what we were looking for and he did. We’re now moving into a home that is exactly what we said we wanted including location, size and price. This entire experience left us with the impression that Dennis is very trust-worthy and genuine. He is an absolute straight-shooter and very professional. We would definitely recommend him and plan to use him again.

My husband and I relocated back to Southern California 2 1/2 years ago. We have done two transactions with Dennis Hartley since then (bought one and sold one). The experiences both times were so satisfying and enjoyable that we wish we could do one transaction with Dennis every year. When we recently sold our house, Dennis advised on the preparation work to complete, arranged the helpers for the work, advised on the listing price, and helped stage the house. It took us about a month to get the house ready and we received multiple offers in a week with almost every offer exceeding the listing price. We attribute the success to Dennis’ extensive market knowledge and experiences, his attentiveness to details and his exceptional skills in home decoration. We would definitely recommend Dennis to family and friends. He may come across as a laid back person. In reality, he is truly a 24/7 guy. …

To us, he is a good listener rather than a big talker, the kind of person my husband likes to do business with. Give Dennis a call if you are looking for someone to help you. You will not be disappointed.

I have known Dennis Hartley for over 20 years and he has been our realtor in 6 real estate transactions throughout the years (both buying and selling). In all cases, Dennis demonstrated unmatched professionalism, dependability, and honesty and he always delivered excellent results. Dennis takes the time to truly understand his client’s needs and his low-key, low-pressure style immediately puts everyone at ease in what can often be very stressful situations. Dennis is extremely adept at navigating the complexities and unexpected twists that are often faced in today’s real estate transactions. Dennis is also able to bring to bear his broad network of complimentary services (financing, staging, cleaning, repair, termite, etc.) that are often required to successfully complete a real transaction.

Dennis is an excellent knowledgeable agent. He guided us through the entire selling process. We had a couple of unforeseen circumstances come up along the way, but Dennis stayed calm and reassuring and helped us resolve all issues. He helped us in every aspect from beginning to end and answered all our questions patiently. He assisted us every step of the way from staging our home for viewing to recommending someone to fix small details around the house to negotiating with the buyer. He had a buyer for our home within a week of being listed at over the asking price and the entire process was less stressful than I ever expected thanks to Dennis. I would definitely recommend working with Dennis, we trust him.
