Arleen Hardenstein

Sotheby's International Realty

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
Since 2006, I have been negotiating the best possible deals for my clients, whether they are buying or selling. I love helping sellers prepare their homes for the market and assisting buyers in finding their dream home on the Monterey Peninsula. My specialty is making moves and transitions easier for all of my clients, especially seniors and trustees.

I grew up in Monterey and have lived all over the Peninsula. With these moves came several transactions in which I fulfilled the roles of both buyer and seller, experiencing first-hand the emotions involved in transactions: the intimidating paperwork, the stress of selling, and the excitement associated with buying. Most importantly, I gained insight into the value of using and being a qualified professional realtor.

As a leader in the industry, I stay current on issues affecting real estate at the local, state, and national levels. Now with Sotheby’s International Realty since 2013, I provide my clients with broad market exposure and a global network of buyers.

Arleen is the best! She was born and raised in the Monterey area so she really knew the Pacific Grove real estate market and community well. Arleen even helped us see a listing before it went on the market which enabled us to make an offer and have our offer accepted which we weren’t expecting in this crazy 2021 market! She went above and beyond through the process and was there for every inspection and even after our house close she still set up appointments for us with different services need such as electrician, plumber, etc. without us asking. Her calm and no pressure demeanor put us at ease through the buying process and I couldn’t recommend her more for Pacific Grove/Pebble Beach Real estate.

Arleen was awesome! Very professional, straightforward and knowledgeable in her field. She was always available to answer questions and provide her expertise when we weren't sure of the next steps. We would recommend Arleen to anyone needing to buy or sell.

Arleen was AMAZING during all aspects of this sale. She knows the Pacific Grove market so well, was very accurate in everything she told me. Arleen has a perfect (and rare) blend of professionalism, personality, intelligence, experience and know-how. She got my house on the market, ready for sale, and sold within 10 days, and for MORE than my asking price! Her market analysis was right on. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Arleen is a lovely lady. I enjoyed her immensely. She did a great job of not letting a prospective buyer slip away when I was already under contract with someone else (who eventually backed out). My back up buyers then purchased my house. I couldn't be happier. Everything had to be coordinated with the purchase of my new home. I was able to transition from one home to the other seamlessly. Great job Arleen. Shout out to Paul Hollingsworth for bringing us our buyers. Thanks Paul!

Both my husband and I worked very well with Arleen. Truly, she is THE best. She helped us to understand the current market, inspection reports, comments from potential buyers, and the myriad governmental regulations that are part of selling a home. She did this with patience, grace, humor, and professionalism. We were confident that she represented our desires and needs honestly. We also felt she represented our home honestly. We highly recommend Arleen for any real estate transaction you may have. She is a gem.
