ReviewIn my 25+ years in the mortgage industry, I've had the opportunity to work with many outstanding real estate professionals, and Dennis is absolutely among the best. His communication, professionalism, and dedication to his clients made this transaction a pleasure from start to finish. I would highly recommend Dennis to anyone looking to buy or sell their home here in Southern California!

Review Dennis was easy to work with. He was kind and patient towards me and my husband. He negotiated for us to get the best deal on our home, we couldnt be happier and we are so thankful we went with him to sell our home. He made himself available to us for any questions or concerns. Thank you Dennis!

Review Dennis is extremely knowledgeable and experienced with all Real Estate matters that arise during the selling process. He also went above and beyond to handle all of our needs including all miscellaneous items we left behind due to our quick departure. Highly recommend Dennis for his wisdom, professionalism and getting deals done. He was also highly recommended by a friend of ours who has done several transactions with Dennis. Charles Demarco

Review Dennis was a pleasure to work with on selling our Redondo Beach home. He was actually the selling agent when we bought the home and we were impressed with his professionalism so we hired him to represent us when it was time for us to sell the home. Our instincts were proven right when Dennis found another realtor with a buyer before we were even ready to list the house. He helped us get the price we had hoped for and never even had to go through the process of staging and listing the house. It made life so much easier on my wife and I. We would definitely recommend Dennis

Review Dennis most recently helped us list and sold a house in Redondo Beach in 2016. Through exceptionally good planning work, we received 5 offers during the first weekend of open house. Three years prior to tat transaction, Dennis had helped us purchase a house in Redondo Beach. In both transactions we were totally impressed with his responsiveness, ability to think creatively, and willingness to tackle tough issues. We were also very happy with his dedicated service team, who help us with a lot of the preparation and post sale renovation work. My husband and I are committed to Dennis. and we highly recommend him to anyone considering to sell or buy a Home. Alice

Review Dennis helped me prepare and then sell my home. His help in upgrades added tremendous value and his staging and listing the home resulted in an above market price. I have never worked with a more knowledgeable agent, who is a masterful negotiator who can time the market and work offers to the fullest advantage. Most importantly I trust him which is rare in the real estate industry. I recommend him without reservation

Review It was a pleasure having Dennis represent us during what can be a confusing and stressful process. His knows both the area and the business inside and out, and that experience made for an enjoyable low-stress process of searching for listings and touring homes. We'd recommend Dennis to anyone looking to buy or sell in the LA South Bay.

Review Tory Blazek, a member of the Dennis Hartley team, represented both me and the seller in my recent home purchase. She was incredible! She was quick to respond to calls and texts. She arranged for an electrician on short notice. She even arranged for a plumber on the Sunday evening the day before Christmas Eve! I highly recommend this team.

Review Dennis did a tremendous job staging, marketing and selling our house. The entire situation was very complex and difficult and Dennis did an excellent job with the process of getting the house ready to sell and selling the house. I believe we never would have gotten the offer we did if Dennis wasn't so well connected with others in the industry locally and potential buyers. He also arranged to have fairly extensive work done on my house and all of his contractors came through for us. A+ across the board. He returns all calls immediately if he can't answer. And he is a very sincere and likeable person.

Review The Hartley team was very responsive to our needs, including making accommodations for our cat to stay at home during staging, open house, and repairs. Their many years of experience in staging and presenting the house in its best light, with minimal modifications to the house beforehand, resulted in a sale in under 3 weeks.

Review I did not deal with Dennis Hartley directly, but rather with his associate Tory Blazek, so the stars I gave for this review are for her. I will admit that Tory is a personal friend, which is one of the reasons why I chose her as my agent when it came time to sell my house. But another reason is that, because she is a friend, I already knew how honest and caring Tory is (ask anyone who knows her and they will tell you the same), so I knew I would be in good hands. Those are two very important qualities to have in an agent, but in addition to those Tory also knows who to go to to get things done efficiently and economically when prepping a house for sale. I followed her advise and received at least a dozen offers at asking price and above. Tory helped me through every step of the process and she will do the same for any client. Whether selling or buying (she's also helping me to find a new home), she will work tirelessly to get you the best deal possible!

Review I worked with Tory Blazek for the majority of the our communication . We had an outstanding experience on selling my property. I took care of the presentation of the condo with a little help from their photographer and Dennis Hartley. Tory and Dennis came up with a selling price and we received 5 offers in a weeks time after only one weekend of open house. They were a very professional team of people that got the job done. Not only did Tory sell my house, but she made recommendations on movers and suggestions on what to do with furnishings that I was not able to use in my new home. I always felt she was there to protect my interest during the process. Thanks Tory!

Review Dennis is genuinely interested in you as a person, and as a result, he met and exceeded our expectations. His insights to the local real estate market were invaluable, and his preparation before actual listing were both professional and effective. We requested a get-to-know-you interview, on short notice, to which Dennis came well prepared. He consistently communicated in a timely fashion, and was always honest and up front with us about any issues during the process. Dennis and his assistant Jennifer are a powerful force, and will net you not only quick results, but results that will leave you feeling very positive. We would highly recommend Dennis as your representative.

Review 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 with him were always candid, friendly and informative. Buying our home - We were trying to buy a house in a very tough market and its fair to say that we wouldn't have got 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. He will not push you to take a bad deal - in fact, many times he rightly stopped me from considering a house saying that it was not the right fit for my family. I called him 'Houdini Hartley' because he makes magic happen! Thank you Dennis for everything!

Review Dennis Hartley seems to have his finger on the pulse in Redondo Beach. He was very pleasant to work with. He gave us some great advise and out of the box suggestions on how we could purchase a house prior to selling ours. By following his advise, we purchased our dream home. His network of Realtors he works with got us a all CASH buyer for our home which made our transaction seamless and less stress to deal with. We did not even have to list our property on the MLS. Dennis' personality is very calm easy going which helps during a dual transaction. He is up to date with technology like using docusign which makes everything time efficient. I would highly recommend his services. He also has some great people he works with like inspectors that are very good and truthful.

Review My husband and I relocated back to Southern CA 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 traction with Dennis every year. When we recently sold our house, Dennis (1) advised on the preparation work to complete, (2) arranged the helpers for the work, (3) advised on the listing price, and (4) 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. He is always there for us whenever we need him. To us, he is a good listener rather than a big talker, the kind of person my husband like to do business with. Give Dennis a call if you are looking for someone to help you. You will not be disappointed. Alice Su

Review 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. His experience and knowledge are invaluable, his advice was always on the mark and everything went so smooth that we were surprised at how fast escrow closed and we were done in a month. He is the best. If we ever have to buy or sell a home in the future we would definitely work with Dennis again. Thank you, Dennis!!

Review Having done over a dozen real estate transactions in the last dozen years, I can say Dennis is the best I've worked with. He knows the beach cities both the real estate and the community of buy and sellers and he uses that knowledge not only to market the home, but to help with decisions in preparing the house for sale in a cost effective (return on investment) fashion. He also knows how to work the listing and offer process to maximize the sale price. In my case he assisted with finding painters, installers, handymen, and picking colors and which fixtures to replace and with what. He listed on a Thursday and by Monday we had 4 very solid offers, one above asking. The only downside is that with a frantic market, he very busy, still he got the job done and quickly.

Review 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 -- before we signed an agreement with him -- 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. Equally, as he represented 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 always made himself 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. Absolute straight-shooter. Very professional. We would definitely recommend him and plan to use him again.

Review You will not find a more capable and robust real estate agent than Dennis Hartley! We started out not knowing the market, so Dennis educated us on lots of necessary details that allowed us to comprehensively explore our every option. We looked at houses from El Segundo to Rancho Palos Verdes. He was always patient and comprehensively informative. Denniss style is professional, experienced, and authentically engaging. He is a sharp listener, never pushy, and extremely patient. We talked together for almost 3 years before we pulled the trigger. We both sold our house and purchased a new house with Dennis. The whole process was very smooth and there were no surprises. Dennis was honest and accurate with his feedback. He was never anxious or avoidant of the necessary difficult conversations. 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 aEURoeRockstaraEUR? Hartley and would definitely recommend and call on him for all our future real estate needs.

Review Dennis helped us simultaneously buy and sell houses in Redondo Beach, as we downsized. This was a stressful period and he was always available and calm. He showed us about 50 houses to help us determine what we wanted in a new home, and the results of both the sale and the purchase were very satisfactory. I would recommend Dennis without hesitation for any South Bay transaction.

Review Dennis helped us find our new home as we moved from the east coast. We had little (to no) local knowledge, a tight timeline, and very specific needs. Dennis was professional, responsive, and resourceful throughout the process. This made our experience smoother and easier. Beyond the actual service, however, we really appreciated Dennis' disposition. He was patient, considerate, and genuine. While any experience such as this is bound to be stressful, Dennis made a stressful transition just a little easier. I would highly recommend working with Dennis.

Review I can't say enough good things about Dennis. I will start out by saying that I am a very anal and obsessive person especially when it come to "big" things like buying a home. We found Dennis through his awesome news mailers that he regularly drops in the neighborhood mailboxes. Through the years I have enjoyed reading his mailers and when we decided to purchase in the neighborhood I really wanted an expert. Dennis has over 30 years of experience and specializes in our neighborhood. Based on Dennis's mailers I thought he would be a very aggressive and arrogant person and he was EXACTLY the opposite. He took us out to look at several properties and always remained very neutral. As well, he respected our "wish list" of what we wanted in a home and always tried to stick to it, I know some realtors may get pushy just to try to close a deal. Dennis however, remained very calm and collected and always neutral no matter the circumstances. He is so connected in the area that he was able to find us an off market deal and help us get exactly what we wanted! In addition to his real estate connections, he has many connections in the home remodeling area and was a HUGE resource in updating the house we purchased. In fact, on the day of inspection he called all of the contractors for us and had them show up to take a look and bid work. This was a huge help!He is always available for advice or questions. Dennis is amazing at staging and has a keen eye for what looks good so he has a lot to offer on home design and decor. If you are looking for a person who can serve all of your needs in real estate and someone who has great connections Dennis is your guy! As well, he is well respected in the real estate community. We noticed whenever we mentioned to other realtors who we were working with they were quick to say we were in good hands. That says a lot for peers to say that especially in such a competitive environment. Yay for Dennis!

Review Dennis is a real treasure. My wife and I were on a very short time-table to buy a house in what (ironically) had become a real sellers' market. Dennis is VERY familiar with the entire South Bay area and was able to target homes that made sense for us. He was patient with us as we slowly learned the realities of bidding in this market, and worked his magic to connect us to sellers who were just right for us. Ultimately, we got an amazing home for a decent price and felt like we maintained our integrity through the whole process. I highly recommend Dennis Hartley and would use him again in a heartbeat.

Review Looking for an agent who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty? Who has specialized in the South Bay for longer than I have lived here (over 20+ years)? Want an agent who is going to: * tell you when you need to offer more to get the house you want? (but I chose not to when it got higher than I was willing!) * Offer to help you stage your house when you're selling? * Come hang pictures and re-arrange furniture * Help arrange and meet workers when you are painting or preparing your house to sell * Buy plants and physically plant them in your yard to prepare it to list * Play middle-man in selling and buying furniture from the other owners? NO detail seems too small or too large for Dennis, if he doesn't have an answer or referral (i.e. a roofer to replace red-clay tiles), he will offer to find one! Dennis goes above and beyond, is a great multi-tasker who will give you lots of attention - when needed. He is very responsive and his integrity is top-notch! I have purchased 3 and sold 2 homes in the south bay using Dennis. I highly recommend him!

Review As the Representative of a local title company, I work with real estate agents every day. I have known Dennis for many years and find him to be very professional. But more than knowing the real estate market backwards and forwards he really connects with his clients. He works diligently to make the real estate transaction flow smoothly and makes sure that his clients are satisfied. I know his clients rave about the service he provides and I know he can make you a raving fan also, call him.

Review 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 clients 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 very knowledgeable about the South Bay real estate market, in particular, having done business here for many many years. Dennis is a true class act and we look forward to working with him again on our future real estate needs.

Review Dennis Hartley recently helped us sell our old house in Torrance and buy our current one in Palos Verdes. We were extremely pleased with his service on both transactions. He is a top notch professional with integrity. He is patient and low-key as well as experienced, knowing how to get the job done in stressful situations. For example, we needed to have a non-working jacuzzi drained after inspection at the new house before we could get funding on our loan. Time was of the essence, so Dennis brought two hoses and drained it himself rather than having us wait days and have us pay someone to do it. He is dependable, honest and delivers excellent results. He's also easy to talk with and quite fun! You will be happy you chose to work with Dennis.
