Hedy helped me purchase my first home in Connecticut - 2019

Hedy helped me purchase my first home in Connecticut this August. She showed me several properties, at times that were convenient for me, and she was a great resource for local information about homes in various locations in CT. Hedy provided much needed guidance to help me navigate the complexities of purchasing a home. Hedy was a persistent negotiator and was a great help in achieving my goal of purchasing an affordable home. I will certainly call on her again in the future if I need to purchase or sell real estate. Hedy was an absolute joy to work with!

Making our dreams come true! - 2020

Please let me take a moment to publicly and genuinely give a shout out to our realtor Hedy Hartley, who worked her butt off to help me sell my condo and help Chris and me find our forever home. She even patiently put up with my millions of questions all hours of the day and night- and especially when she should have been sleeping or spending a moment or two with her family!! I highly recommend Hedy for so many reasons and I trust her implicitly. Thank you Hedy for making our dreams come true!

Hedy is knowledgeable, patient, funny, sweet, and professional - 2018

Hedy is knowledgeable, patient, funny, sweet, and professional. What most impressed me was her commitment to working in my best interest. She never rushed me during the process, and she always made me feel empowered by providing information and options so that I could make an informed decision. She was accessible at all times and promptly responded to my questions, which worked out well for me because I tend to blast messages all at once and on the spur of the moment. I highly recommend Hedy. Stop your search right now and choose her!

Hedy, we cannot thank you enough - 2007 & 2018

Hedy,
When we met you by chance in 2007, Rob and I knew that you were the real estate agent for us. You willingly and excitedly took us to more houses than we could count until we finally purchased the right home for our growing family. As the years passed, you stayed in contact with us to make sure we still loved our home… and we did! When the time finally came this past May to sell our beloved home as we moved across the country, there was no question that you were the agent we would call on to list it.

Your knowledge of the market, the neighborhood and of comparable listings helped us to price our home so that it would sell quickly. We had showing after showing until we accepted a bid above ask within the first few days the house was listed. unfortunately, due to the financial circumstances of our buyer, this offer fell through and we had to start from square one. Throughout the entire process, you remained positive and you knew that again, we would quickly sell our home. In the meantime, our family relocated. Your diligence and commitment to us maintained our trust in you- you checked on our home to make sure it was secure, you handled various contractors coming in and out in our absence. After a few days back on the market, our home sold again above asking price. Once again, your instincts and knowledge were correct and our home was sold quickly.

Throughout the entire process, the buyers agent proved incredibly difficult and demanding. The buyers were expecting more than we could give from 2200 miles away. And again, your unwavering commitment to us and the sale of our house trumped an aggressive agent and buyer. When things went south at closing, you handled it with our best interests in mind and we came out on top. For this, we are eternally grateful.

Hedy, we cannot thank you enough for your service and friendship throughout not one, but two sales. We wish you the very best and will recommend you highly to any and every one we know in need of a seasoned, professional agent. We wish you the very best always.

With best and fondest regards always,

Rob and Jesse Johnson

My positive experience working with Ms. Hedy - 2018

I would like to just share my positive experience working with Ms. Hedy as a future tenant for her listing. First and foremost, I appreciate her levels of communication whether it was through email, calls, or text messages; Ms. Hedy was able to juggle all forms without missing a beat on the information that was discussed through these mediums. Upon inquiry of the listing to view the unit, she was informative and professional, at the same time that left no questions upon viewing the place. She provided the proper information that gave me the confidence to move forward with renting the unit. Her care and diligence to her clients whether representing the landlord or tenant shined as all parties were being kept in the loop as to where things sat with paperwork, making sure that the details within the contract were highlighted and clarifying possible issues within the wording that may be confusing. She was very patient and understanding of all my inquiries and was very prompt about her responses. Another aspect that I truly appreciated is her honesty about questions that I posed. Instead of making responses that she was not fully aware of the answer, she instead would say, "That's a great question, I am unsure of that let me text the landlord and get back to you." When working with a realtor, there's this persona of being a showboat and giving you all the bells and whistle about said unit, BUT I never felt this way when engaging in conversations with her. I do hope you recognize what an amazing staff member you have working for you and representing Berkshire Hathaway in the utmost care. If there are any further questions that you may have, please feel free to reach out.
Best, Merz​

Hedy is amazing! 2022

Hedy Hartley is absolutely amazing! Not only did she help me find my first home 7 years ago, she now just helped me sell that same home. She is very professional and will go to bat for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home!
-Randy Lafontaine

Highly likely to recommend - 2011, 2015, 2021

We highly recommend working with Hedy. To date, we have completed 4 transactions with Hedy. Each time we have worked together she has been wonderful. She is knowledgeable, confident, organized, and responsive. Hedy understands the market and her clients. Hedy always puts her clients first and helps to make a stressful process seamless. If you are looking to buy, sell or inquire about the real estate market - Hedy is the realtor you want to work with!!!!!
-Kristy Notarangelo and Leonard Lev

No Brainer - 2022

Hedy Hartley knows the market in and out. With the vast amount of experience she's had in the housing market, it was a no brainer for us to work with her. She was super patience during the pandemic with us as we navigated around looking for our forever home. She understood the style of the house we were looking for, the requirements and our budget which made it super easy and stress free for us. When we finally nailed down the home we wanted, the process was super easy and quick due to Hedy's amazing negotiation skills and continued support throughout the journey, especially as first time homebuyers.

There are many incredible things about Hedy, from her professionalism to her attitude but one thing that stood out to me was her knowledge of issues and watch outs when looking at homes. She was there every step of the way, educating my fiancé and I on potential red flags or even really key details that we would have never picked up on. She has helped us find our forever home and we would work with her over and over again!

We can't say enough great things about Hedy- she listens, she fights for you and she's got the best attitude around! Highly recommend if you are looking for a realtor who listens and cares about your needs!

Hedy- we thank you for all that you did for us!
Molly Martin

Wonderful Experience - 2014 & 2021

Working with Hedy was the most wonderful experience. I bought a gorgeous house in Avon, CT after actually looking at about 40 properties with Hedy over the course of a year until I found the perfect place for my family. Hedy guided me through negotiating with the sellers, their attorney, and also helped with inspections. She scheduled and attended the closing and was so gracious in all aspects of the process. Years later when we became empty nesters, she also worked with me to stage the property, arrange for beautiful pictures (including fantastic aerial photography) and market the property. She assisted me with scheduling showings, finding qualified applicants, helping during the buyer's inspection process and again assisting with negotiations with the buyer's representatives. The moving and closing went smoothly despite Covid restrictions. I cannot say enough about Hedy's professionalism, personality, patience and kindness. After having worked with her as a buyer, it never occurred to me to work with anyone else as a seller. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
-Alexandra Hausen

Among the finest - 2022

"I recently sold a three family property in Vernon, CT. Because it was a rental property and because it was 120 years old, the real estate agent played an important role in negotiating with buyers, coordinating with the buyer's agent and advising me throughout the process. Hedy was great every step of the way. Despite battling covid, she was in contact daily and worked hard to make, what turned out to be a very intricate transaction, a success. In addition, she was a wonderful collaborator and brought a genuine personal touch to our interactions. I have bought and sold numerous properties, over the years, and found Hedy to be among the finest real estate professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with."

Our Dream Home - 2008, 2019, & 2021

"We met Hedy in 2008 and she helped us buy our first home then. Since then she always stayed in touch with us by sending us hand written holiday cards and one year dropped off chocolates in our mailbox with a handwritten note. We loved hearing from her over the years. When we outgrew our first home, we reached out to her to help us find a larger home, and a home of our dreams. Hedy was along our side the entire time. Any time a house came on the market we liked, she always made herself available. She is a very kind, caring and an honest realtor. We never ever felt pressured by her and she always had our best interest. Numerous showings, phone calls and consults over the last year and each and every time she was eager to help and always went above and beyond to ensure we found the home of our dreams. Hedy helped us find our dream home and we will always be thankful to her. "

  -Alma and Fikret , Client

Took Time To Explain - 2020

"As first time home buyers we had a ton of questions all of which Hedy answered thoroughly. She was always able to be reached by phone, text or email. Hedy arranged showings with little notice. She is a pleasure to tour homes with and knowledgeable of all the things to look for. Hedy was quick to get a picture of what we were looking for in a home and presented us with numerous listings. As the pandemic lifestyle settled in, less houses were going on the market and the houses that were listed were going fast! One Saturday morning we came across a new listing. An hour later, we were touring the house with Hedy. We found ourselves in a multiple offer situation with Hedy guiding the way. Hedy helped keep our nerves at bay throughout the entire process of negotiations, inspections and the dreaded appraisal. With each step we had more questions, all of which Hedy took the time to explain thoroughly. Buying a house is stressful, but not once did we feel over our heads thanks to Hedy!!"

  -Andrew & Chelsea, Client

She got me! - 2019

"Hedy filled in for my agent one day and I quickly realized that her quick read on properties and full disclosure approach was exactly what I needed to find the right home for me and my children quickly. She “got” me and helped me find the perfect house for us. She spent the extra time with me to make sure I was comfortable, and treated me like a lifelong friend throughout the entire process. Thank you, Hedy!! So excited for our new home!! :)"
- Cathy P.

She is so responsive - 2020

"Hedy was an absolute pleasure to work with! My husband and I met Hedy when we went to look at a house she was the selling agent for, after chatting with her for well over our allotted 30 minute viewing we realized that we wanted to work with her to find our new house. She is so responsive and knowledgeable, every time we sent her the link to a new house we wanted to look at she would have a viewing set up within 5 minutes. We frequently asked her for advice and thoughts and she provided her thoughts without pushing her own opinions on is in anyway. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone I know that is looking to buy or sell a house in the future! "

  -Carla F., Client

Hedy was knowledgeable - 2021

We recently worked with Hedy on the sale of our home in Glastonbury. We had lived in the home for almost 25 years so the sale was a major undertaking for us...not only cleaning out the house and preparing it for sale but also leaving behind a big part of our lives. Hedy was not just a realtor but a partner in this endeavor as she offered us support in many facets of the process. Her suggestions to prepare the house for sale, to manage the bumps in the road that arose and to negotiate the logistics of offers was invaluable to us. Hedy was knowledgable, patient and kind! We firmly believe she had our interests as her priority throughout! Hedy works FOR you and WITH you! We can't imagine working with a finer realtor!! Chris & Mary Jayne"

  -Chris and Mary Jayne, Client

Patience and Expertise - 2020

"As first-time buyers in a challenging market, we cannot overstate the value of Hedy's patience and expertise. She went out of her way to share listings and schedule showings, and was quick to respond when we had a question or concern. Hedy is a warm and positive person—exactly who we needed to guide us easily through the purchase of our first house."

  -Taryn S., Client

Very Knowledgeable Realtor - 2020

"Thank you Hedy for helping us buy our frist house and going above and beyond I could not be happier with you. You're are a very knowledgeable realtor. Thank again for all you're hard work."

  -Eric & Leyla Soto, Client

Truthful, honest & patient - 2019

"Hedy was not just a realtor but a very good friend. She was truthful, honest and very patient. She took the time to help me find exactly what I was searching for. She guided me through the entire process of purchasing my condo. She was also helpful in recommending other professionals I needed along the way. I would highly recommend Hedy. She goes far beyond what is required in a client/realtor relationship."

  -Karen Blanchard, Client

Extremely professional - 2008

"It took us 15 months of searching to find the home we were looking for and Hedy patiently stuck by our side while we did so. When a contract we were in began to crumble she supported our decision to walk away. There was also never any pressure to make a house work that wasn’t the right fit. Hedy is extremely professional, responsive, and has a great eye for the smallest of details. Her concern for her clients being happy is a driving force and we appreciated not being rushed into a purchase. If you are buying or selling a home, please consider working with Hedy, you will not regret it. Thank you so much Hedy! Sara and John"

  -Sara and Johh, Client

Very helpful - 2021

"Hedy just helped us sell our house in South Glastonbury. We moved out of state before our house was sold and Hedy was very helpful in making sure a lot of loose ends were wrapped up so that the deal could go through. We were happy with the outcome. We would recommended Hedy to anyone who needs a real estate agent."

  -BM and PM, Client

Straightforward and trustworthy 2021

"What a crazy time to be trying to buy a house! Hedy made herself available for all of our needs - last minute showings, late night texts because we are anxious first time home buyers, and fast links to all the resources we've needed through this process. Hedy is straightforward and trustworthy - she never sugar coated anything just to make a sale. We leaned on her knowledge and experience immensely, and we are just a few days away from being the proud owners of our first home :-) "

  -Anna & Dani, Client

"Other" - 2019

"I put “other” for Hedy because I have known her for many years and consider her family, friend, and my husband and I are definitely her clients. Hedy could not have worked harder or done more to meet our needs both throughout the process of selling our condo and purchasing our new house. She is always available and willing to talk to you, reassure and support you, and most of all, Hedy knows her stuff. I felt like we were in the best hands. And Hedy sold out condo within a couple weeks (maybe less?) and guided us to find our dream home. I recommend Hedy with complete confidence and sincerity to handle any of your selling or home buying needs. She’s truly the best!"

  -Jenna N. , Other

Above & beyond - 2011, 2016, 2017 & 2019

"Hedy was patient and went above and beyond to help me buying houses through divorce, parents death and fiancés death. I know it says client but I consider her a friend. "

  -Janet Morrison , Client

Highly recommended - 2020

""Hedy came HIGHLY recommended to me by a dear friend whose standards I respect. She had immeasurable patience with me as I asked for explanations on everything involved with selling my home. Even more, she had compassion and understanding for what a difficult thing it can be after long term ownership. I loved her honesty and her support of my decisions, and her warmth tells you she's treating you the same as she would treat her closest friend. Hedy is genuine and has her client's best interest at heart and she will go the extra mile to accommodate you. These traits make her perfect for what she does. I adore her as a person, and a budding friend (and I love my other friend even more for recommending her). I can't imagine having gone through it with anyone else. I have every intention of recommending her wherever and whenever I can. And if I take the plunge into ownership again in the future, she will be my first phone call.""

  -Denise Jones-Gagne, Client

Truly fantastic - 2020

"Hedy was truly fantastic to work with! Looking for a new home in the middle of a pandemic seemed like a daunting task, but Hedy went above and beyond to make our experience as normal as possible. She was a wealth of information about the local area and helped navigate the process with ease. Hedy was always responsive to our calls and often reached out to follow up or make sure we were aware of a deadline. Her attention to detail and outgoing personality made the process fluid and enjoyable. She works with a fantastic team of people who all worked diligently to ensure our purchase was a success and we couldn’t be happier to be in our new home! "

  -Chris & Vivian, Client

Great to work with - 2020

"Hedy was great to work with! She always made time to see different houses. I was very happy with the house I bought! I would recommend her!"

  -Julia, Client

Our family realtor - 2020

"Taking a moment to recognize Hedy is easy for our family; she has been our real estate agent for over 12 years and has helped a young couple to a family of four, buy and sell our homes. Hedy has not just shown us homes or prepped our houses to sell but has gone out of her way to help us in a bind, support our ideas, and taken care of the people we love and have referred to her. Hedy will always be our recommendation to anyone and we are so grateful for her place in these milestone moments. The Nadeau Family "

  -Ashley Nadeau, Client

Fantastic job - 2020

Hedy did a fantastic job helping me find a home for my family! She was professional, efficient, and very knowledgeable about the local housing market. Hedy went above and beyond which made the home buying experience a pleasant and less stressful process. She took every one of our wants and needs for a house and made them a priority. I can’t thank Hedy enough for everything she did for us, the time she dedicated for my family, and making this a seamless process. I would work with Hedy again and would recommend her for any real estate needs. Thank you Hedy!"

  -Nicole G., Client

Diligent and hardworking - 2020

"I've had the pleasure to work with Hedy as a lender and client. We met through a mutual client. Hedy is diligent, hard working and always pushing for her clients needs. She is great to talk to and would set up a showing asap if we found something to our liking. She helped us settle down and not just jump into a home, and eventually guided us to the right home after only a few months of searching. I hope that we can work together again in the future Hedy and thank you for all your help!"

  -Martin M, Client

Deepest gratitude - 2007

Robert and I would like to express our deepest gratitude to Hedy Hartley and the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties Realty group. Hedy recently sold our home in East Hartford with a great deal of hard work and professionalism. We had a very unfortunate set of circumstances that not only forced us to sell but also put us through an awful experience with our first listing agent Remax. By the time Hedy arrived we were bitter and angry. Wow, she took the blow with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Hedy went overboard for us to make sure everything went well. She spent many hours on the phone with us keeping us updated, drove to wherever we needed to get papers signed and even called just to see how we were doing after all the trauma we had previously encountered. Hedy is honest, hard working, compassionate and has high integrity. Refreshing!


With our sincere thanks,
Denise & Robert Carman

Completely Painless Process - 2008

I wanted to write you regarding Hedy Hartley. Myself and two friends recently purchased a condo in Glastonbury and Hedy was our agent. All three of us have been successful academically and thus far in our careers, however we were first time home buyers who needed to be educated and work with a trustworthy buying agent. Hedy not only found the property for us based on the guidelines we hoped for, she then held our hands the whole way. With the uncertainty in the domestic economy combined with our lack of experience purchasing real estate, it was tempting to merely back out and just keep renting. Hedy however kept us on track to find a property that had what we were looking for, in a location we liked, for a price that were comfortable with. This was a completely painless process and we all wanted you to know that it was due to the skills and guidance that Hedy provided us. I am not sure if there is an internal award you can give her, but if there is one, all three of us would gladly endorse it. If you keep agents like Hedy around, I am sure we will be working with your office in many more of our future endeavors.


Thank you for your time- Peter D. Nadeau

Hedy was always there -2008

I want to take a moment and talk about one of your agent, Hedy Hartley. When I first started looking for a property to purchase, I started by going to open houses and calling a few listing agents. I was interested in looking at the properties, but I was also interested in meeting a few agents as well. The very first time I met Hedy, I knew she was the agent that I want to represent me. I was supposed to meet with Hedy for a few minutes to look at a property, but the meeting quickly turned into a couple of hours. Hedy took the time to listen to my concerns and needs, and she helped me search for properties that would best fit my wishes. By the end of our initial meeting, I signed with Hedy because I saw that Hedy is dedicated, patient, and attentive. Throughout the whole process of finding a property, Hedy made sure that I was well informed about each property we visited. Hedy was professional and helpful, and she went above and beyond her duties on many occasions. Due to certain external factors, my quest to buy a property was somewhat bumpy. But Hedy was always there to guide me and had my best interest at hand. It's easy when everything goes smoothly, but when something does not go as smoothly, that's when I needed an experienced agent the most, and Hedy really came through for me. In the end, Hedy found a property that best fit my budget and in a location that best suited for my lifestyle. I definitely would recommend Hedy to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a property.


Sincerely,
Justin P.

Hard work and dedication - 2008

I just wanted to write a few words to express our family's appreciation for all the hard work and dedication Ms. Hartley gave us over months of service. We were lucky enough to be referred to Hedy by a past (very satisfied) client, my brother (Robert Carman Jr.) back in the Spring. He had recently just sold his house with Hedy's help after having some terrible encounters with previous agents. Therefore, when I decided to sell my house, after also having some nightmare experiences with different agents, I was a bit reluctant to try another agent. But per constant positive praising from my brother pertaining to Hedy, I decided to bite the bullet and try. I have to say, from first impressions; I knew Hedy was going to be a perfect match for our needs. She was very professional, but yet and not pushy. One thing I really liked about Hedy was her ability to really listen to our expectations and then, if necessary bring us back to reality in a failing real estate market. She would provide research of compatible listings and make suggestions. I say "suggestions" because she never made you feel forced or pushed into a decision. She would only present material in a professional and never intimidating way. I felt comfortable with Hedy and relied on her expertise quite often. In fact, I don't know how Hedy managed to put up with me for all those months. I would continuously call and ask questions (day and night), besides having her show our family different properties (near and far) - which included keeping my two young daughters entertained while I looked at the various properties; all while still having open house and negotiating the sale of my house. And through all this, she was still always full of energy and loaded with fresh ideas to make my house more appealing to the public for sale. Hedy did sell my house in a fairly short amount of time, considering the real estate market. But she wasn't through yet. I then harnessed her abilities once again and just yesterday closed on my new house in Ellington. I don't say it lightly when I say; I couldn't have done it without her. In summation, Hedy is a wonderful person who has helped me and my family tremendously both in selling my previous house and buying my new house. She has renewed my faith in real estate agents, although, my alliance lies with Hedy. She has become like part of our family and to tell you the truth, I'm going to miss our almost daily conversations, not to mention that delicious cup of coffee whenever I needed to pick up or drop something off at the office. I don't give praise easily and I'm very precise, but please just remember you have a "winner" with Hedy. She's a rare but unforgettable asset to your company.
Have a nice holiday.
Sincerely,
Paulina K. Carman


P.S., My daughter, Heidi, loves Hedy. She's her buddy. If they gave awards for patience, Hedy would of gotten one for sure after dealing with my very, very active daughter Heidi.

Highly competent agent - 2009

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great joy and satisfaction that I write a few words on behalf of Hedy Hartley. I have had the pleasure of working with Hedy for a little over a year (wow, I can't believe it's been that long!) in the search for the perfect house for me, my husband and our four children. In the time that my husband and I have worked with Hedy she has proven time and again to be a highly competent agent and outstanding individual. I first contacted Hedy in April of 2008 regarding one of her listings. My husband and I were going to be moving from Maine to CT in June of 2008 and I wanted to get a sense for what the market in CT was like. Not only were we faced with the scary task of having to sell our house in Maine before we could buy in CT, but we were also very scared about the huge difference between Maine and CT real estate values. We quickly came to the conclusion that finding the perfect agent was crucial if we were going to find a house that would meet our family's highest needs and priorities. Hedy met all of our expectations and exceeded them in every way. Throughout the year long journey she offered us great advice and guidance without ever being "pushy" or overbearing. She was/is articulate, reliable, knowledgeable and always very professional. She checked in with us regularly via email or cell phone and always offered words of encouragement at the appropriate times (while we anxiously waited for 5 months to sell our house in Maine as well as while we searched for several months for the perfect house that would suit our needs). Hedy used her competence and experience to point out flaws/strengths in houses that we would have otherwise not even noticed. I felt that she truly had our best interests in mind as she walked through different houses with us and always gave us great feedback. She impressed to me the very end as she entertained my 2 1/2 year old son while I met with painters to get painting estimates! Our real estate/client relationship is coming to an end tomorrow as we close on our new house. After living with my parents for a whole year I couldn't be more excited! However, I am a little sad that I will no longer have an excuse to see Hedy anymore! Hedy, call me when your kids are old enough to babysit! Hedy is an excellent real estate agent and we would recommend her to anyone.


Sincerely,
Isabel and Joe Reilly

Unbelievable - 2009

That is unbelievable! I knew Hedy was good, but I didn't think she was that good! Would she be willing to take a vacation to Hilton Head and sell Mom's place? The ceiling is in excellent shape so I suspect it would take her about 20 minutes to sell it.
Joan Peters

Dedicated - 2009

We engaged Ms. Hartley as the realtor of choice because she persistently sent us direct mail pieces in AZ over a two year period even though we were not selling our condo. That kind of dedication warranted our call to her, when we decided to sell, even though we knew other realtors. Since signing a contract with her she has consistently shown her desire to help and assist in an early sale. Printed materials and ads were the forefront of her attack. Under a difficult situation with us on vacation in England and she on a scheduled vacation to FL she continued to provide excellent service by engaging one of her colleagues to handle all matters on site. And still she kept in touch with us on a daily basis via the internet ensuring quality continuity. The conclusion to her endeavors resulted in an offer on our condo in four weeks from signing. We would certainly recommend Hedy with her experience and her enthusiasm to anyone considering a realtor. She's a go getter!


Michael & Sheila Petriello

Knowledge of the market - 2010

When my wife and I decided to sell our home of eight years in Manchester we were a bit nervous, because change can be scary (especially with two small kids and busy work schedules). Upon our initial meeting with Hedy, prior to listing our house, she put us at ease with her preparedness, knowledge of the market, comfort with the process of buying and selling, and general organization and enthusiasm. Sure enough, we had a great offer on our house within days of listing, based largely, we believe, on some of Hedy's wise strategies for "staging" the interior. Then, she quickly helped us find a new house in Tolland. Hedy skillfully handled all of the back-and-forth final details that needed to be worked out with all parties, and also set us up with a great lender. We would recommend her without hesitation.


Ian Smith & Allison Wood

Commitment to her business - 2011

We met Hedy Hartley at a showing a few years ago. We received regular communications (mailings, recipes, cards) from her and immediately recognized her commitment to her business. Hedy loved our home and was helpful in identifying the projects and improvements that would help to make our home more marketable to a wider audience. We chose Hedy to list our home and she was diligent in following her checklist to ensure that nothing was missed. She kept in constant contact with us and partnered closely with us to create and develop wonderful marketing materials, including a fabulous brochure and beautiful photo story. Just two days after showings started, we received a contract that was accepted. Hedy stayed close to the process and kept us focused and worry free! She handled all negotiations, inspections, follow-up and closing. She was a valuable partner in this process. Thanks Hedy - we have and will continue to refer business your way knowing that you will also help our friends and family have a positive real estate experience!

Professional and very knowledgeable - 2010

For the past four months, my husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Hedy Hartley to sell our house. Before we began this process we were very anxious about selling our house and how difficult it might be in this market. The first time I met Hedy, I felt very reassured that she would do all that was necessary in order to get our house sold. She was warm, approachable, professional and very knowledgeable. Hedy is always quick to return emails, texts and calls. In addition to listing our house and keeping up with all the traditional realtor responsibilities, such as holding open houses, fliers and online advertising, Hedy has gone above and beyond what I would have expected a realtor to do in assisting us to get this house sold. For the last month, my family and I have been living out of the state of Connecticut and have been relying heavily on Hedy to help coordinate house repairs, lawn maintenance and other miscellaneous things around the house that we would have normally done ourselves, but can't because we have already moved. Hedy has been continually helping us out by making phone calls to repairmen, coordinating appointments and opening the house to facilitate all that has been necessary to get our house sold. I have greatly appreciated her help and professional knowledge as we move closer and closer to our closing date and have no reservations in recommending her to other families in need of a realtor.


Sincerely,


Thomas and Hadley Corson

Most responsive - 2011

Most responsive and most pleasant as well as professional agent who quickly understands the needs of clients and provides with very good ideas. Hedy is so nice and respectful with no hint of usual for realtors pushy sales personality. She gets the job done in most efficient and least stressful way. Would highly recommend her services.


Mr. & Mrs. L. Lev

I've made a new friend - 2011

Dear Hedy,
Thank you so much for helping me buy my dream house. Though we didn't work together very long, your dedication is the reason I'm writing this now from my new home. Your responsiveness to my initial call to see the house and your ability to refer me to a mortgage broker who was willing to come in on a Sunday over the 4th July weekend to provide a pre-approval letter were the keys to my success in landing the perfect house among the multiple offers. I have no doubt that if I hadn't been lucky enough to have you as my realtor, someone else would be the new owner of this perfect little piece of Main St. I just can't thank you enough for making my first home buying experience such a breeze. It was also so sweet of you to bring a "housewarming bone"
to the closing for my dog Nicholas (and champagne too). Not only would I recommend you to as a realtor, I feel that I've made a new friend. I hope you'll stop by soon to see us.
Sincerely,
Susan Hill


P.S. Hedy, Thank you so, so much for helping my Mom buy my new yard. I love it and I love my bone! I hope both you and Karen will come to see me and all my poodle friends very soon.
Kisses,
Nicholas

Vast knowledge - 2011

It is my pleasure to share words of praise for our agent, Hedy Hartley! My husband and I began the search for a new house in July of 2011. We are planning to close on our new home in September! She has proven herself to be a top-notch realtor. Hedy is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, dedicated and energetic. She knew what we were looking for and was determined to help us find the best home. We looked at many houses in multiple towns and Hedy always did the research necessary to “show” these properties. Hedy walks through houses with an acute eye for structural issues as well as cosmetic flaws. She knows so much about the industry and offers insight into so many areas of home buying and home ownership. From landscaping and painting to roofing and basement issues, Hedy’s knowledge is vast. We learned so much from her. Hedy has proven herself to be a most dedicated agent. To say that she is prompt is an understatement! She was always available to us to answer a question or show a property immediately. Hedy worked around our schedule and was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we knew that she was there for us! We would HIGHLY recommend Hedy as an agent for anyone. She will go above and beyond and is certain to help you achieve your goals.
Kendall and Jennifer Evans

Great job - 2012

"Hedy Hartley did a great job in selling our home. We were under time pressure to move to a new home and drive a quick sale in a tough market. Hedy helped present the house in the best light, managed the process well and was a good counselor as we adjusted the price to match the market. We would use her again."
Chuck & Ellen Johnston

Hard work and dedication - 2012

Dear Hedy: It was a pleasure having you be our Real Estate Agent. You made the selling of our home and the purchase of our new one so very easy and seamless. We appreciate all your hand work and dedication. It didn't matter what day of the week it was or what time of the day, you were there for us in whatever capacity that we needed. I highly recommend you to anyone who wants to make their dreams come true as ours did! Thanks for everything!


Ann & Rich Lang

Sincerest gratitude - 2012

I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude to Hedy for helping my son and me find our perfect new home! Hedy began working with us on the sale of our home in Ashford in May of 2012. Being a very tough market (especially in Ashford) I was fearful that we wouldn't have much luck selling our old home. But with Hedy's expertise, advice, and pure diligence we managed to find a buyer by July! I have dealt with other realtors in the past and NONE of them compared to Hedy. Wth my busy schedule and time constraints she was always willing and insisted on working around my schedule and I'm sure at the expense of her own. She took the time to learn and understand what house would be perfect for us and it didn't take long before we were moving into our new home. Without Hedy's expertise and knowledge of the industry we would not have sold our old home, especially within the timeframe we did. Her hard work, dedication, and true professionalism made what could have been a very difficult task easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Hedy to anyone who is looking to sell and/or purchase a home. My son and I are extremely happy with our perfect new home and again would like to thank Hedy!
Chris Carty

Complete Pleasure - 2013

Working with Hedy is a complete pleasure. She turned a process (that can be quite stressful at times) into an experience that was both educational and fun. Hedy is simultaneously personable and professional. She was an incredible advocate for us at every step of the process. Most importantly, from start to finish of buying our house, we could rely on Hedy for an immediate response, great guidance, and never-ending patience and warmth. We would recommend working with Hedy to friends, family - anyone! She is wonderful.


Jenny & Jeremiah

Over the top - 2013

Here are a few words I have already used to describe Hedy Hartley to my friends and family.
Over the top responsive, hard working, knowledgeable, and thorough. She understood how important it was for us to find just the right house, so she listened and did not pressure us. Her advice throughout the process was sound. She never hesitated to email me even late at night with important updates. I have dealt with many real estate agents over the past four years and she is far and away the best!


Frank Newman & Susanne Santangelo

Kept us informed - 2013


Working with Hedy Hartley was the best decision we made when purchasing our house. Hedy was available at all hours of the day/evening and very quick to respond to any inquiries we had. Even though she lived about an hour away, she drove to show us homes in our area multiple times without hesitation. Hedy kept us informed with every single update, answered any questions we had and made sure our first time buying went as smooth as possible. We would recommend Hedy to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and sincere realtor. Thank you for everything you’ve done Hedy! You Rock!!!


Kenny & Alicia

A treasure - 2013

I have been working with Hedy on a relocation property search and have been tremendously impressed with her high level of customer service. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate industry and is very thorough in tailoring searches and appointments to best suit her customers' needs and desires. An absolute joy to work with. She gave consistently sound advice, pointed out things to look for in a property and was extraordinarily helpful during the negotiation process, always being the voice of reason. She went above and beyond the call of duty to find us our dream home, always with a smile and my best interests at heart. Hedy is a treasure.
Thank you so much


Catherine and Paul Duwan, Avon CT

Professional & personable - 2014

My husband and I would like to share with you our recent experience with having Hedy as our realtor. First of all, Hedy was recommended to us by a co-worker and friend 3 years ago, so we invited her over to see our home as we were contemplating selling it and we needed some expert advice. She told us what we needed to do to get it ready to sell. So for the next 3 years I was communicating back and forth with Hedy as to the changes and updates we were making. My point in telling you this story is that she was very patient and did not give up on us as we had other things coming up during those 3 years. I can't imagine any other realtor being this patient because I was discouraged as to how long it was taking us to accomplish our projects and she just kept encouraging me and she was very positive. She was also very compassionate as I was going through some difficult times and lost my 18 year old kitty to cancer. She is not only our realtor but she is our friend. She is very professional and personable at the same time and demonstrates that she really cares about people. She took absolutely beautiful pictures of our home and this boosted our confidence that we could sell our home for a fair price as our home is small. We will highly recommend Hedy (and have been) to our friends, family or anyone who we meet that is thinking or wants to sell their home/condo. Her dedication to her clients is outstanding and this is evident by the fact that no matter what time it was at night she was always available for me even though she has a family to care for. If I had any questions or concerns she always got back to me. And after each showing she made sure that she was prompt in letting us know of any feedback. She is certainly a credit to Berkshire Hathaway and she deserves to be recognized as such.


Sincerely,
Richard and Christine Juliano

Thorough and dedicated - 2014

Amazing!! Thorough and dedicated. Spent more time with us than three local realtors combined. Other realtors wouldn't give us the time of day and believe me, our deal was very unique. Hedy never passed ill judgment and treated us just as serious as all other qualified buyers. Thanks to Hedy Hartley, we have our dream home in a dream location!! Thanks again for putting our deal together.


Jason M.

Commitment - 2015

I just wanted to take a few minutes and express my gratitude not only for the excellent work you did on my recent land sale but also the support you have provided over the past couple years of real estate adventures we have had. I admire your ability and willingness to put yourself in my shoes when providing advice. It shows that you truly are much more interested in assuring I am satisfied with my real estate investments than you are your own personal gain. Though I took you on a nearly two year search for a new home and in the end never bought anything you never once showed frustration. Your no pressure attitude speaks volumes to your commitment to customer satisfaction. More recently your help in right pricing and the personal showings of the ten acre lot leading to a sale less than a month after listing in this soft market speaks to your experience in the real estate business. Thank you for staying the course with me through this process. I know I have found a realtor for life.


Thomas M Barry Jr.

Absolute best - 2015

"Hedy was the absolute best - very knowledge, responsive, caring and helpful. She was always available and able to answer all questions and addressed all concerns. Hedy was the best and I would highly recommend her. This was my first time going through this process and she made it simple. She was not pushy, understanding and very easy to work with."


Cori Heinonen

Experienced agent - 2015

Hedy is a close, personal friend of mine. Besides her experience as an agent, I knew she would have my best interest in mind. The stresses of listing my property and searching for a new home (in addition to the other life changes I was going through at the time) were toned down knowing Hedy would be right by my side every step of the way. The necessity to search for a new home, as a result of the quick sale of my condo, and Hedy's attention to my needs, along with her commitment to find me the perfect home made me realize I made the right choice. I knew I was in good hands."


Patricia A. Mangiafico

Consistently helpful - 2015

"I have used Hedy for several real estate transactions over a period of 8 years or so. She has been consistently helpful to me and I will continue to seek her assistance."


Gregory Clark

Easy & comforting - 2015

"Hedy made our time as first time home buyers so easy and comforting! She is kind, patient, and so knowledgeable! She always stayed within our needs and never pushed us into something we weren't sure of. She was honest and treated us as if we were family"!

Randy

Patient & Understanding - 2016

Hedy is by far the most patient, understanding, and genuine person with whom I have done business. As first time buyers, my husband and I were over-excited, yet apprehensive. Hedy always had our best interests at heart. She talked us through the process, pointed out things we never would’ve noticed, and fought for us when we hit hardships. She wouldn’t let us give up on our search until we found the perfect home. Her dedication to her craft and clients is unmatched and unwavering. Not only do I recommend her to every acquaintance, I will continue to as long as she is in the business.


Alicia & DJ McKernan

Without stress - 2016

Beyond thankful to have such a hardworking realtor on our side. We previously used Hedy to purchase our first home, and just used her to sell that home and purchase our second. Hedy is knowledgeable, friendly and on top of her tasks. She worked hard to make this process go as smooth as possible, and we were able to close without the stress that most people feel. I would highly recommend Hedy to anyone that has an upcoming real estate transaction! We wouldn’t use anyone else!

Alicia & Ken Berntsen

Unwaveringly helpful - 2016

Hedy was referred to us by our close friends long before we even began thinking about purchasing another home. Our friends stressed to us that we absolutely, positively had to work with Hedy and that it would be foolish not to. And boy, were they right! From the very first email exchange, Hedy has been unwaveringly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. I reached out to Hedy when we had just started to contemplate buying a new place, and she provided excellent guidance on what was a fairly complicated selling and buying situation. As novices, her expertise was invaluable. She devoted significant time to answering my emails even before we officially began looking at houses, and that was incredibly reassuring as a nervous homebuyer. As we went through the process of viewing homes and extending offers, Hedy continued to demonstrate excellence, from her knowledge of the area and specific homes to her ability to negotiate complicated transactions. She was exceptionally accessible at all stages of our home-buying experience, and we always felt comfortable knowing that Hedy had our family's best interests at heart as she navigated us through complicated dealings. We cannot recommend Hedy highly enough. Her expertise, drive, and commitment are outstanding, and anyone who works with her will recognize that instantly. Thank you, Hedy, for all you did to get us and our three children into the perfect home!

Comments​: Hedy is very personable, warm, caring, and friendly.

I worked with Hedy Hartley when I purchased my home in October. She is very personable and professional. I was very impressed with her responsiveness. I would text or email when I thought of a question or concern, frequently early in the morning or late at night. I expected that I would hear from her the next day or later in the morning. To my surprise, she would always respond within a few minutes. She was always available to help navigate through purchasing process, always pleasant and upbeat. I would definitely recommend working with Hedy.

Would You Recommend Hedy Hartley To Others:​ Yes

Comments: Hedy is an caring agent that will not lead you towards unrealistic expectations. We were hoping to sell our house quickly and were counseled by Hedy with regards to staging and price. The house sold for 2.5% above asking price... in four days (which was both faster and for more than we had thought possible). Smooth transaction and closed on time without a hiccup. This is the fourth property my family and I have used Hedy for and will use her next time as well.

My experience working with Hedy was extremely positive. She made me feel, AT ALL TIMES including after finding my home, that this search was the only thing she was interested in and my best interests were being taken care of every minute.She educated and guided me based on her years and impressive expertise in this arena. She reviewed areas not just in Glastonbury but all throughout the region. I have already endorsed her to others and would never consider working with anyone else...She brings enormous value to this challenging time for the buyer/renter/seller...Hedy made me feel like I was on the team. Hedy thank you for finding me a great home...my kids love it here as well.

- Shelby Dumond

My mind at ease - 2018

I worked with Hedy when my husband and I had to move to another state and had to rent our condo ASAP. Hedy was very professional. I knew nothing about renting and Hedy helped us every step of the way! She made everything so easy for us, I appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. It was a nerve wracking time as we were no longer in the state, but Knowing we had Hedy, it put my mind at ease! I will absolutely be using Hedy when it comes time to sell and will be recommending her to anybody looking for a realtor!

Response & Diligence - 2013 and 2016

My husband and I have used Hedy for three real estate transactions. We purchased
our first home, staged and sold our first home (in less than 30 days!!!) and
purchased our dream home, all with Hedy's help. Her market knowledge, quick
responses and diligence make her one of a kind. She made the selling/buying
process easy and was there every single step of the way. You will not find a more
honest realtor than Hedy! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that is looking
to buy/sell their home!!

my dream house. I was tremendously impressed with her high level of customer
service - she handled so many details, from appointments and viewings to
inspections and scheduling the closing. She is extremely knowledgeable about the
real estate industry and is very thorough in tailoring searches and appointments to
best suit her customers' needs and desires. An absolute pleasure to work with.

Brag - 2018

August, 2018

Hedy,
After being in our new house for a few weeks I just wanted to reach out and brag about you and all you’ve done for our family!! Thank you so much for your help in finding our dream house. It was quite the journey and it wouldn’t have been possible without you.

When the house on Pond Circle came on the market you were all over it, which is why our offer was accepted the day we put it in!! It was the best relief because we had put in offers with many different houses, what was it 4 or 5?! On top of the 20 different houses we looked at together, I wish I was exaggerating... Nevertheless, you persisted and put in your opinion when needed. I started to lose my patience and was about to settle with any house, but you reminded us that it was out there we just had to be patient. You were right and today we are living in the house Joe and I always dreamed of. Your knowledge and persistence got us what we needed and really wanted, from everything to the master bathroom to the issues in the home inspection, and even our mortgage!

I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for our family. I will definitely be recommending you to family and friends because I know you put your heart in soul into finding your clients exactly what they want!!

Best,

Colleen and Joe Boland
