"After having bought and sold several homes with other agents, Arleen has set a new standard for us in what to expect from a realtor. She is impeccable on every level, kind, personable, and honest. We never doubted that she had our best interests in mind, nor that she had the ability to make the deal happen. We will recommend Arleen to all our of friends for their real estate sales and purchases!"
"Over the years, we have participated in many real estate transactions. Our experience with Arleen was without question unparalleled to any other. She was accommodating, seeking to fully understand our needs and desires, and helped us see the negative aspect of a few homes we almost purchased. We have never had an agent who has paid such close attention to all aspects of the transaction, wanting to ensure a fair and equitable transaction for all parties. She works tirelessly to bring high value to any relationship and never seeks to promote her own agenda - an oft-seen occurrence with many Real Estate agents. Arleen is relational vs transactional but very market-saavy. Her due diligence puts to shame many agents who have been in the biz much longer than Arleen."
"Arleen was AMAZING! By far the best realtor I've ever worked with. Professional and personable, incredibly responsive. Smart and kind, would recommend her to others without a hesitation."
"Arleen is a wonder! Everything went so smoothly. Every step of the way people spoke highly of Arlene which made me feel reassured that I was in good hands."
"Arleen is a true professional! She kept us in the loop at all times, advised us, found various vendors for us while we were prepping our house to go on the market and even dropped off supplies to help us move (and even offered to bring us dinner on moving day!). Arleen was wonderful throughout the whole process, we relied on her, we trust her, and she became a valued friend!"
"I was fortunate to have Arleen Hardenstein as my real estate agent when purchasing my first and second home. She has made the home buying experience wonderful even during the stressful times. Her professionalism, organization, and knowledge in the industry is visible throughout the entire home buying experience. She is a genuine person and truly cares for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone purchasing or selling their home."
"After having a detailed conversation with a perspective buyer, she selected appropriate properties in regard to type and price range. This is especially important to an out of town buyer. Available properties in my price range was limited, but we worked together to find affordable property. She was helpful in guiding me through the detailed escrow process. One quality that I found valuable was her wealth of resources – again an asset for the out of town buyer."
"Arleen was great to work with: responded quickly to texts, advocated for us and understood our situation. We were first-time home-buyers, sort of like deer in headlights, and Arleen was there with us every step of the way. She's an active community member and seemed to know what was coming before options for us came on the market. Our location was so competitive, it would have been easy to just give up, or settle for something we didn't love, but we found exactly what we were looking for with the help of Arleen. I'd recommend her to anyone!"

"Arleen is exceptional! We have never worked with a Realtor who spent the time to get to know us and our wants. We live 3.5 hours away and she always had a full day of homes lined up for us whenever we were there. In between she sent us emails regarding new listings as they became available.

Once I made an offer, Arleen was very informative every step of the way. Even with the extra paperwork of purchasing a foreclosure, Arleen made the entire process an easy one. More importantly, I was able to purchase the house from a bank, with Arleen's help, at a price much lower than the original asking price. I would HIGHLY recommend Arleen to any and all looking to either buy or sell a home!"
