"Dennis Hartley with Compass Real Estate is sincere, succinct and has a great deal of experience. He's been at it for decades. He is well known in Redondo Beach and always seems to have properties for sale there. That's why we chose him to selI our parent's home. We wanted someone who knew that local market backwards and forwards. If you're selling a Redondo Beach home, I'd use Dennis, he's a great real estate agent."

"When we recently sold our house in Torrance, CA. Dennis advised on preparing our home for sale, supervised the work and selected a fantastic stager to make our house even more appealing. I was a little skeptical about the need to stage it but when I saw the house fully decked out, I knew it was the right call. The preparation, staging and correct pricing got us multiple offers in less than a week. Dennis Hartley knows how to sell real estate. He's been at it a long time, is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Calm and attentive to your situation and eager to make you happy. I highly recommend him."

"Went Above and Beyond - Even Without a Commission I cannot recommend Dennis highly enough. As we prepared to move from Georgia to South Bay, California, I reached out to several realtors for help finding a rental property. Dennis was the only one who responded with genuine enthusiasm and a desire to help, even though he knew helping renters is often less lucrative. What set him apart was how he listened. He made sure he perfectly understood our needs, but also gently asked if we'd be open to alternative options or areas we might not have considered—never in a pushy way, but always with the goal of ensuring we had the best choices available. He was incredibly proactive, sending us new listings and reaching out to other agents to arrange showings. He was so responsive and even gave up his Sunday to take us to see a house. In the end, due to our tight timeline, we had to settle on an apartment quickly without using his services. Despite this, he was nothing but kind and understanding. The fact that he provided such exceptional, consultative help without any guarantee of a payoff speaks volumes about his character and integrity. He turned a stressful process into a positive one, and we are so grateful. We will absolutely—without a doubt—be calling him when we are ready to buy a home. He has earned our future business and our highest recommendation."

"We had a 1031 exchange to complete and time was of the essence. Dennis was on it from the start. He found an off market apartment building in Gardena, CA that worked perfectly. He negotiated a credit for some deferred maintenance and we closed quickly. Very satisfied with the experience. I would use him again in a minute. Call Dennis Hartley, he's a great real estate agent."

"Dennis Hartley has been an incredible loyal, patient, ethical, and caring realtor. We’ve known Dennis for over 30 years and have had the pleasure of working with him multiple times.

Thank you, Dennis and your team—enjoyed working with Jennifer and her helpful and friendly communications!"

"I can't say enough good things about Dennis Hartley. I will start out by saying that I am a very anal and obsessive person especially when it comes 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 Hartley with Compass 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!"

He has been the top real estate sales person in North Redondo Beach for decades."

"Dennis Hartley with Compass Real Estate recently helped us sell our old house in Torrance, CA and buy our current one in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. 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."

"I have known Dennis Hartley for over 30 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 client’s 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."

Dennis Hartley has hard-earned wisdom and skill from decades of experience. He really knows the Torrance market, and I highly recommend taking his advice; it will pay off in the end. Compass real estate brokerage is a great asset. Dennis will use all it provides to close your deal. Lastly, I don't say this lightly: Dennis will definitely go above and beyond throughout the whole process. You will not regret contacting him."
