Meet Adam Hartley: December’s Top Agent and a Real Estate Powerhouse

Adam Hartley, just shy of 30, is a rising star in real estate. His success is built on hard work, discipline, and a genuine care for people. But Adam’s journey didn’t start in real estate—it started with a love for helping others and a knack for making things happen.

From Hospitality to Real Estate

Before jumping into real estate, Adam worked in hospitality, mastering the art of client satisfaction and customer service. Growing up, his mom, a banker, taught him valuable lessons about money and financial smarts.

At just 22, Adam bought his first home and rented out the rooms, a move known as house hacking. That experience showed him how real estate could create opportunities and income. After selling his home and seeing the profit, Adam decided to get his real estate license in late 2019.

A Realtor Who Gets It

What makes Adam stand out is his ability to connect with people on a real level. “I know what it feels like to be in their shoes,” he says. Adam understands the emotions clients feel when buying or selling a home, and he works hard to make the process as smooth as possible.

For Adam, real estate isn’t just a job—it’s his career and his business. His approach is simple: If you’re going to do something, do it right.

Owning December

While many agents slow down during the holidays, Adam leaned in. He stayed consistent, focusing on follow-ups and keeping clients motivated. “Anyone looking for a home during the holidays is serious,” he explains. Adam worked to keep their excitement alive, helping them see their dreams for the new year.

The trade-off was tough. Adam sacrificed time with his own family during the holidays to stay focused on his work. But that dedication paid off, making him the top agent in December.

Big Plans for 2025

Looking back at what worked in 2024—his CRM, social media, and networking—Adam is ready to take things to the next level in 2025. He plans to step up his personal branding, sharpen his skills through ongoing education, and use all the resources and connections at his disposal to keep growing.

Life Outside of Real Estate

When Adam’s not closing deals, you’ll find him in the gym, spending time with his girlfriend Lynsey, or playing video games late at night. “Past the locs and muscles, I’m just a goofy nerd,” he admits.

Adam credits Lynsey for being his rock during the busy end-of-year season, giving him the stability he needed to focus on his clients and his own home purchase.

Words to Live By

To his colleagues, Adam shares this reminder: “Remember where you came from—it’ll help you appreciate where you are and where you’re going.” He’s proud of how far he’s come and excited about what’s ahead.

To his clients, Adam says, “You had plenty of realtors to choose from, and I’m thankful you trusted me.” He works hard to be more than just a realtor—he’s an advisor and a partner, always there when his clients need him.
