Helle Hartley of CENTURY 21 Jim White & Associates

We used Helle Hartley (Centurey 21 Jim White & Associates) to sell our home in Pinellas Park, FL last Spring and she was outstanding. Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property and how they promote their listings. The Jim White & Associates Century 21 Real Estate Team stood out as the best Pinellas County has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their listings. We spoke with Helle Hartley and then met with her at our home. She spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. We were concerned that our house, which was located on main road backing up to our backyard and having small backyard in a neighborhood with similar homes would be tough to sell. Helle made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like having a pro come and give us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more. When we saw our listing we were blown away. Her hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. Our house went under contract in 4 weeks after we put it on the market at asking price. We accepted and Helle walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I've recommended the Helle Hartley to everyone I know. She is a true professional and a genuinely nice person. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell our home, but I think I have found best realtor in our local market. Keep up the good work Helle, you are the best in your profession.

Helle Hartley was very pleasant and easy to work with. She quick to respond to questions and concerns via phone or email as required. I would recommend Helle Hartley if you are looking for a Realtor.

Helle Hartley is a very professional, personable and knowledgeable real estate agent. She listened to and understood our needs and responded timely when we had questions or needed her assistance. We always felt that we were on the same page with regard to our property search. Buying a second home from out of state can be stressful, particularly in the fast-paced St Petersburg real estate market, but Helle made it a positive experience. She worked hard to meet our needs and resolve issues that came up during the purchase. She earned our trust and confidence, and we gained a tremendous appreciation for the value a realtor brings to this process. We're very happy with the house we purchased in Gulfport!

I'm very pleased with Helle, her dynamics have been great and very efficient, I will definitely choose her as my agent in my next purchase. I would recommend Helle Hartley, for is she very honest and straight forward.

Only issue was with the escrow company, that after asking them over the phone to have the insurance paid through escrow, they closed escrow and told me they were going to send me a refund of the insurance money. When I even have recordings of that. I asked Helle Hartley to interfere, she called and got them to pay the insurance as I had asked. I am very grateful for that, she is an excellent agent. By all means, very dedicated and honest. Helle was never too busy to answer any question, as unrelated to the purchase it was. We thank her for her hard work, because of her, we have completed very successful purchases. Thank you Helle.

We met Helle Hartley as we were driving by, we saw the real estate office and decided to go in. It was late, so they had already closed the office, Helle turned right back around, opened everything back up, invited us in, and answered all questions. She was very patient and knowledgeable with all we asked. Helle helped this purchase like no other would. She was able to negotiate in an outstanding, clear and professional manner. Anything that was not clear or unknown in a listing, she figured it out for us within no time. Overall, Helle is a very dedicated, honest, polite, and respectful agent. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asked for such an opinion.
