    About Dennis Hartley

    Born and raised in Torrance, California, I began my real estate career after receiving an MBA degree from California State University Long Beach. I have helped nearly 1000 families buy or sell their homes during my career. I am a seasoned real estate professional who consistently ranks in the top echelon of local agents. I have experience with all types of property from starter homes to luxury estates. I particularly enjoy helping young buyers find their first home, long-time owners prepare their homes for sale and experienced investors add to their portfolio. IF YOU ARE BUYING A HOME With decades of experience, I will help find you the perfect home in a low-key, no-pressure way. I know the neighborhoods that will suit your lifestyle and pocketbook best. I will help you get pre-approved for a loan. I will utilize the Multiple Listing Service but will also network with other agents to find homes that are not yet on the market. The relationships I have developed with other agents and my strong negotiating skills will get your offer accepted. During the escrow period, I will manage the many details of buying a home, explain the process as it unfolds, and happily hand you the keys to your new home when escrow closes. IF YOU ARE SELLING A HOME I will help you navigate the entire process from start to finish utilizing an action plan that has been successful hundreds of times. We will determine the current value of your home by reviewing the latest sales data. I will advise you on simple techniques to help your home show its best. If minor repairs or upgrades are necessary, I can refer you to reputable, affordable contractors. My comprehensive marketing plan includes professional photography and video, print marketing, direct mail, social media, and email. My negotiating skills will ensure that you get the highest sales price possible. My experience and attention to detail will avoid problems during the escrow process and lead to a quick, easy closing. CONTACT ME My wife and I have been married for many years and have two sons who are attending local schools. We enjoy the Southern California lifestyle by biking, hiking, enjoying the beach, being involved in our kid's sports activities, and volunteering at their schools. The South Bay is a fantastic place to live. I can't imagine living anywhere else! If you are looking for an experienced, capable, and empathetic real estate agent, contact me. I am ready to go to work for you.

    Answered Questions

    Is it rude to go to an open house to browse?

    I am primarily a listing agent in Redondo Beach, CA and hold many open houses. At least one per weekend, if not two. At least half of the people who stop by are neighbors so you're not alone. If you came to my open house, quickly said that you were a neighbor and "just curious" I would not be offended at all. You've said you don't monopolize the agent's time so that's appreciated also. After all, the agent's motivation is to sell the house or meet other viable customers. Don't feel bad, you are not alone in being a "nosey neighbor."
