Ari Hatton

Hello there, I’m Ari!

I confess. I love real estate.

As a third generation Bay Area Native, I’m grateful to call this region home. My boundless energy, in-depth knowledge of local markets and strong communication skills are assets to my clients.

If you are itching to make a move, I’m ready to help make those real estate goals come to fruition.

SERVICES

Buying and selling property is much more than a business transaction.
It’s personal.

Working with someone who can juggle the various steps with professionalism, efficiency and integrity is crucial.

Buyers

I’m not just finding you a house, I finding you your next home. I will be with you every step of the journey from narrowing down neighborhoods, connecting you with great lenders, evaluating inspection reports, negotiating purchase terms and writing a winning offer.

Sellers

I will manage all of the tasks needed to get your home looking its best and selling for top dollar. I have the resources and contacts to keep that process as simple and stress free as possible. Attention to detail is my strong suit!

  • “Once we found the perfect home, Ari helped us put in a same-day offer and navigate the home buying process as first-time buyers.”

    “Ari helped us find our dream home in Lafayette. We knew we wanted to move from San Francisco to the East Bay, but we didn’t quite know where to start. Ari worked with us to identify neighborhoods that were walkable, tree-lined, and close to BART, and then found open houses for us to visit (in some instances before the official opening). Once we found the perfect home, Ari helped us put in a same-day offer and navigate the home buying process as first-time buyers. Throughout, Ari was a joy to work with. We couldn’t have done it without her!”

    — Sarah & Ryan, Lafayette

She's a very hands-on agent too.

Ari walked us through every step of the way with enthusiasm, patience, professionalism and kindness. She gives her clients honest feedback and the needed encouragement when questioning next steps. Her guidance was crucial to our purchase and her friendly demeanor and infectious tenacity made the experience actually enjoyable.”

    “Working with Ari to find our family’s forever home was such a great experience, we couldn’t have asked for a better partner. She was knowledgeable, professional and genuine - we connected with her immediately. She always kept us apprised of homes that fit our criteria as soon as they came on the market and got us in for a viewing quickly. She was honest, sincere and we loved that she gave us her opinion, especially when we were trying to make decisions. She not only engaged us, but also our two young children during this whole process. We are so happy to have found the perfect house for us and grateful to have had Ari help us through this process from start to finish.”
