My sister and I were quite nervous about selling our family home. It was a stressful context - we were acting as power of attorney for our mum, who was reluctantly moving to residential care with dementia. We had limited experience with real estates, and both of us were living quite far from the property. Id heard some good things about Hartley through a friend of a friend, but my sister was thinking we should go with the big names, well known local agents.

When Mum and I met Johan and Krsitie we had a really good feeling about them. I was impressed with their appraisal and plans, they were really lovely people, but my sister still had some doubts.

It took only about 3 weeks from meeting them to selling the home. The Hartley team listened to our concerns and were great communicators all the time. They provided expert knowledge when we had legal, financial and contract questions, they engaged the market really well. Being so far from where it was happening it was great to have a team who were strong at communicating and available to go the extra mile, even during their own major life stressors. Hartley were flexible and understanding about open days and showing people around the home, taking great care not to impact too much on mums routine and life, and we didn’t feel any pressure at all from them.

We couldn’t have been happier with the perfect balance of care and sensitivity, honest, genuine hard work, and expert knowledge. Im so glad I talked my sister into working with Kristie!

Moving a 95 year old is fraught with drama at the best of times. Kristie, Johan and Christina were simply wonderful. We sold quickly and the whole process ran like clockwork. The personal service was excellent and they all deserve medals for the way they dealt with a very cantankerous 95 year old. Well done Hartley Realty.

My partner and I had a great experience with Hartley Reality. Johan spent a huge amount of time with us showing properties and explaining the area. We never felt push to make a rushed decision at any point. Both Kristie and Christina kept us updated with everything that was happening, always available and if not returned our emails or calls promptly. Overall we could not be happier with the service we were provided and we certainly use them again in the future.

Kristie was very friendly and professional.
Her knowledge was outstanding and I would highly recommend her.

Can't recommend these guys any more highly. After being listed with another agent and basically no movement, we decided to move to Hartley Realty and lifestyle properties. From the first phone call, to the sale at the end we felt confident with everything they did for our sale to go through. Great friendly service who went beyond to get the job done.
