Royal Hartwig

Brenna was very helpful, expedient and friendly throughout the whole process. Will be using her again when ready to sell again.

Joel is wonderful to work with! He understood what we wanted and made great recommendations. House sold in 2 months. So pleased!

Very Happy with the service provided by Beth DuFour. Selling, while living out of state, was easy, thanks to Beth.

Of the several Realtors interviewed, Royal was the only one who made a formal, well organized, yet understandable presentation of our current real estate market and our place in it as well as his approach to selling and dealing with clients. Given the emotional rollercoaster nature of selling a house, Royal always responded with a positive, up beat perspective. He was diligent and conscientious in both responding to our inquiries as well as informing us of new developments. Interactions with his staff and colleagues were professional and friendly. We recommend him very highly.

I have bought two homes and sold one with Royal. I couldnt be pleased more every time I have called on him for his professionalism, competency, and strong ethics. There is no question that as long as Royal is buying and selling homes, he will be the only realtor I call for my needs.

I worked with Royal Hartwig on the sale of my parents home from my home in Minnesota. I was concerned that selling their home long-distance would be difficult, but working with Royal was a complete pleasure. He kept me informed of all activity, proactively followed up on a potential buyers assertions regarding the sale of their home, and provided wise counsel throughout the process. I highly recommend this firm.

Royal is the definition of what you want to look for in a Realator; knowledgeable, level-headed, responsive, and honest. He is an expert not only in his profession but in building and maintaining long-term relationships.My wife and I have bought a home with Royal and sold a home with Royal, and both instances he not only represented us with care and expertise but made us feel like we were his only clients.If I could find a way to give 6-stars I would.

From the outset, Royal set himself apart by showing a willingness and drive to really understand and get at our houses true value. Where all the other agents we spoke with took the easy way out in terms of only looking at recent home sales/listings within a few blocks of our house to determine their suggested listing prices, Royal understood those houses were not comparable to our house (on multiple levels) and set about finding true comparable houses. Royal also understood the market factors at play that caused the close proximity houses to be undervalued, and how those factors were changing, so no longer should be applied to our house. Royal did his homework, found truly comparable houses, did a comprehensive market analysis, and arrived at a suggested listing price that we felt good about and understood and agreed with how it was calculated. In the end, due to Royals hard work and diligence, we sold our house for significantly more than the other agents were suggesting we even list the house.This is only one example of how Royal goes above and beyond in working with you to help you achieve your goals. He doesnt take the easy way out, he works hard and does whats needed in each situation. Hes incredibly responsive, hell explain anything and everything about the process, hell talk through multiple scenarios until you are comfortable with the decision, and he NEVER tries to push any agenda other than yours and what you want. If we ever need to buy or sell another house, Royal will be our first call. Thanks Royal!!

My husband and I asked Beth Dufour, a realtor with the Royal Family to help us find a home on the Fox River or Chain of Lakes in Northern Illinois. She was diligent in her search and after taking us to several homes, we found our dream house. Since our offer was accepted within 24 hours, we had to list our current home right away. Beth helped make the transition seamless! She helped us by bringing in a stager prior to having professional pictures of our home taken. This was extremely helpful and they were so professional. It was obvious that Beth and her colleagues were very knowledgeable and experienced in this marketplace. After holding two open houses (2 Sundays in a row), Beth found our buyers! We were so impressed with how dedicated Beth was to getting our house sold quickly so we didnt lose out on the home we were buying. Beth served as a dual agent for our buyers as well. This made the communication between us all so smooth. Beth was quick to return our texts and calls and I would HIGHLY recommend her to everyone buying or selling a home in the northwest Chicago suburbs!!

Royal helped me sell two properties. His insight and assistance was always greatly appreciated. His response time to questions and issues was always spot on. I never doubted that I selected the best agent to represent me and get my real estate properties sold. I would highly recommend to contact Royal.
