Karen Hartung of Hartung Real Estate stuck by us through thick and thin. We looked for just the right home for my wife & I. We put in contracts on short sales and found that banks didn’t really want to sell. We looked and looked through Karen. Finally we were down to the wire. It was a company move and we had to make a decision. My wife saw it in the newspaper and it was on Karen’s list. It was in the location where we wanted to live. It had most of our qualifications. We fell in love with it when we walked in the door. It was move-in ready. Karen knew the ropes and made inspections & loan information and all the technical stuff a breeze. We closed super fast. We couldn’t have done this without Hartung Real Estate.

Kathy, thank you for selling my mother's house. It had been on the market for a long time without results, and you did exactly what I wanted you to do! Everything you did was excellent, thanks again.

Louise did a phenomenal job of helping us find a house to make our home. She is a hard worker and dedicated to her clients. Thanks so much!

I thought purchasing a short sale was going to be a nightmare from speaking to others. Although my purchasing process took longer than a traditional sale, my experience was not a “nightmare”. I felt that I always knew what was going on through constant updates from Louise. She was always available when I needed her. In the end I know I got a great deal on a house I love in the neighborhood I wanted to be in. I couldn’t be happier with my 1st home purchasing experience.

Louise was such a blessing to me. She is honest, hardworking, very knowledgeable, has a positive energy about her & great sense of humor. She has a very straightforward, positive attitude and will pull no punches with you. She kept in touch with me and explained everything every step of the way and made me feel like I was her only client. I recommend her to all my family & friends.

It was a great pleasure to work with Kathy Starkey. She is absolutely the most knowledgeable and professional Realtor we've ever had the pleasure of working with. She has a tremendous amount of patience, and she completely understood everything we were searching for in a home. We highly recommend Kathy Starkey!

Kathy was great with working with the family, and dealing with the issues that 2 families have! She was personable and had a willingness to always answer our questions.

We have bought and sold many different times. We always used Jim Hartung. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. Jim is a friend, not just an agent. He has always worked with us and catered to our needs and desires. Thank you for working so diligently to get our home sold in such a depressed market. I know as with any other business, too much supply hurts the sale and you need to work that much harder. God Bless you.

Years ago I worked with Kathy Starkey in buying the very same home she sold for me 12 years later. I trusted Kathy to work with me then, and now!

Kathy sold our house in a tough market, for a very good price, found us an awesome condo to rent, then found us a fantastic home to buy at an unbelievable price! She's amazing.

We think Kathy is the best in the business! She was thorough, professional, helpful, prompt, and best of all gets results in a very difficult market.

When I was looking for a Brevard County Realtor, one name came highly recommended to me, Kelli Braydene. I worked with Kelli who proved to be a knowledgeable, relentless and patient agent who went above and beyond over an extended period of time overcoming many obstacles in securing the sale of our home. I could not recommend her more highly. She's the best. Thanks a million!

Brent and Joy Bailer

We were completely satisfied with Louise’s concern about our situation. Her caring, professionalism and knowledge was outstanding.

JB and Linda Russell

Louise McLean was a very hard working agent. She was always on top of things and stayed in touch with me every step of the way…Thanks for everything Louise!!

J. McGhee

Louise’s knowledge of the market and communication skills helped us immensely when we sold our home. Her whole team worked very hard for us and we left the deal very satisfied…thanks again!

Michael & Jaclyn Nemitz

I loved Louise's willingness to make the entire process of selling my home as easy as possible. Being so far away, I really appreciated that. I would definitely refer her to my family and friends!

M Blizzard

After searching on our own for weeks and weeks, we decided it was time to get a Realtor. We were a bit hesitant but within an hour of meeting Louise, we knew we had made the right decision. She spent so much time with us and in words and actions, let us know she was there to serve our best interest.

Robert and Myrna Palfrey

Patty did a great job for us during a very difficult move. She was a reliable partner in the process and she listened to our needs and helped us to achieve our dream home. Everyone at Hartung was very nice.

Marcia, you are the best Realtor EVER! You really are wonderful in every way.This transaction was a blessing and we could never have done it without you!

We had our house on the market six months when we contacted Marcia; she took the time to sit down and explain what needed to be done to sell our house. We had a contract in about three weeks and closed soon after. Thank you Marcia!

We think Kathy is the best in the business!  She was thorough, professional, helpful, prompt, and best of all, she gets results in a very difficult market.  Can you come up here to Vidalia Georgia and sell this house? 

Louise worked with me daily until we found the perfect home.  Then she walked me through paperwork, financing, closing, etc., making the entire experience stress free from start to finish.

C. Foust

Louise possesses an exceptional blend of energy, professionalism & confidence it takes to be able to generate a lot of fun into the process of selling & buying a home.  She was my agent when I sold my home and when I bought my new one, and was great!

Diane Ward

Kathy & Patty obviously showed a real interest in meeting my needs. I like dealing with a company which is headed by a family well established in the community. There is definitely a vested interest.

Kim Weisner

Kelli went the extra mile! She showed the condo several times per month and gave us a report on the showings. She was always pleasant, encouraging and honest. One outstanding time was that she took time to assess the condo and not only made suggestions on how we could improve it's selling appeal, but was the overseer of the completion of the improvements. This was very important to us as we were working long distance. Thanks Kelli!

David & Donna Brillhart

This letter is to let you know what an asset Louise McLean is to your Real Estate Team. From the start of our home buying until the end and beyond, she made it a pleasure to buy a home. Her humor, wit, and knowledge of home construction was amazing. When it comes to Customer Service, Louise is always going above and beyond to help her clients. Kathy and I love our home and say thank you Louise!

Patrick Allen & Kathy Cangeni

Three weeks after we met Louise McLean, we closed the deal and got the keys to our new home. She was very honest and straight forward with us. Since we were first time home buyers, she held our hand through the whole process of looking for and buying our first home. She gave us the advice we needed as inexperienced home buyers. Even after moving into our home, she helped us settle final details with the home warranty company. We've already recommended her to several of our friends, and she'd be our first choice again next time we purchase a home.

Nathaniel and Bonnie Swanson

Kathy Starkey found many houses that fit the description of what we were looking for. She made it easy to close the deal.

Bill and Gemma Propst

Patty Romano is one of the few real estate agents we can unequivocally recommend. Great service, honest and trustworthy.

Greg and Nancy Wilke

Kelli Braydene was professional, effectual, committed and efficient. She sold our house!! We love Kelli Braydene!

Bruce & Jackie Hodge

Jim is very professional, knowledgeable, and does what it takes to make the deal happen.

The sale happened so quickly once Kathy got on board and this has truly helped my stress level. Kathy was so understanding and sympathetic to us being so far away in Alaska trying to sell a home in Florida. Kathy, may God bless your  business and keep you in his care. Everything went so smoothly I could hardly believe it.

Hartung Real Estate is a very proactive. They sold my house in 7-weeks, in a very slow market. I felt I got a reasonable price for my residence. I will refer them to my family and friends.

My Realtor worked diligently over Thanksgiving Weekend on my behalf to make an offer, then got a contract signed, all while I was away visiting relatives! They put in extra effort to secure 2 separate signatures from the Sellers and fax the contract to me for mine, all in a matter of one Sunday! I felt as if they had no other interest in their mind but my new home! They made everything so simple for me right through closing. Thanks so much for helping me get into my new home!

Our situation required special attention to come to closing.  You and your team were focused on getting the sale to completion. I would definitely refer you to family and friends.  Thanks for your dedication and service!

Steve and Emily Swihura

You came through for us - when the contract closing was a problem you worked very hard ( and speedy ) to insure the closing was done to facilitate our needs. I liked your willingness to show houses within our price range. I liked that your team and affiliates had experience in loans, locations, etc. You are all very professional. I can't think of any areas that may need improvement. Thanks for all of your help and support to make our dream come true!

The thing I like best about working with you is that you are honest, caring, and very professional. The whole team is friendly and efficient. I have already referred others to you. I have dealt with several Realtors in the past and I find Hartung Real Estate to be the most professional and honest I have listed property with. They follow through any promises made, keep you informed on showings, and guide you through the closing step by step. They are always there for you! We are very satisfied. Great Job!

At Hartung Real Estate they were very good at getting back to us when we wanted information. The office was always nice and helpful. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being excellent I would rate Hartung Real Estate a 10 in all areas. I would definitely refer my family and friends. We have worked with them a couple of times and it was great both times. We will use them again.

Thank you for the tremendous job you and your team at Hartung Real Estate did selling my mother's house in Merritt Island.  I can't say enough about the customer service that your team provided.  We were always informed of recent sales in the area. That helped guide our pricing decisions. We received phone calls from either you or your staff on a frequent basis to discuss the current status of the market.  Hartung Real Estate used every tool at their disposal to make sure the house got as much visibility as possible and that a sale was made in a very challenging real estate environment.  The market shifted from what had been a seller's to a buyer's market shortly before we decided to sell.  It is because of your team's efforts that this 40 year old home sold for a fair price despite tremendous incentives being offered by builders of new homes.

When we put the house up for sale, it had several maintenance issues that we were not able to address before listing.  Our family had moved from the area leaving no-one to research and find contractors, get price quotes, and follow-up to make sure the work was done well prior to payment.  Your staff stepped in and was able to get all the required maintenance done, and done well.  I'm sure this had a direct impact on the house selling.

Again, thanks to you for help selling mom's house.  It has been a true pleasure working with you.  I would not hesitate to work with Hartung Real Estate again or to recommend you to anyone in the real estate market in the Brevard County/Central Florida area.

We had a rather bad experience with another local realtor.  We came to Hartung Real Estate and had someone looking at the property within a week; although we couldn't reach an agreement at that time.  We were updated weekly about the activity on the property.  We sold within 6 months and everything went smoothly.

Shonna Loden & JW Metzger

It was nice to work with a small, locally owned & operated company.  You feel like a person and not just a number.  The whole process was virtually painless and very quick.  There was never a doubt about integrity or intention.  I appreciate all that your team has done for the girls & I!  Not many realtors would come over and physically help a client move.

Debra Peeler

The Hartung Real Estate team did a great job and we thank you for that. You are very straight forward, no smoke screens. You all definitely kept us up to date with everything that was going on with respect to our property. Your team is very knowledgeable and professional.  We would refer family and friends to you.

Hartung Real Estate worked very hard for us. We changed our minds quite often and they stood by us. Our agent did a great job!

Dana and Bob Hipple

The best thing about working with Hartung Real Estate is that the team is very efficient!  The difference between Hartung Real Estate and the others I have used is the feedback and the fact that they are always "working the property" with various ad placements, etc.  I absolutely would ( and already have ) refer my family and friends to Hartung Real Estate.

The Hartung Real Estate Team is the Benchmark that other agencies should strive to follow.  Their friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative team provide the smoothest transaction as is possible.  I have used their team more than once in a real estate transaction and will continue to do so as the need arises!

At Hartung Real Estate they have always been very patient, knowledgeable, and never seemed to mind coming over through the years to give us real estate advice.  June of 2006, the market was way down.  Once they took over my Duplex it sold in two weeks!  We will be using Hartung Real Estate on the sale of our home. If Anyone can sell it, They can!

Thank you for being honest, friendly, up-beat & easy to talk to.  You cared and kept me informed on what was happening with the sale of my home.  You made me feel like family.  You were willing to go out of your way to help me, which I greatly appreciated.  Thank you so much, may God always be with you and reward you greatly.  You did a great job handling all of the details and kept everything moving right along - especially the last couple of weeks.  Thanks for taking care of everything.  Love my new home!

It is not easy for anyone to please a critical New York attorney.  But the Hartung Real Estate staff did so with professionalism and competence, providing exemplary service.  From listing to closing, Hartung Real Estate sets the standard as to what a buyer or seller should expect from their agent.
