Hartt Realty Advisors

What Hartt Realty Advisors does

Hartt Realty Advisors (HRA) is a privately held, boutique property services firm headquartered in Southport, Connecticut, operating across the Tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut). Founded in 2010, the firm partners with real estate owners to deliver institutional-quality property management and advisory services throughout the entire real estate investment cycle. Its client base spans commercial property owners, multi-family residential owners, absentee investors, and luxury residential estates, with named relationships including Lemle Bristol, Westport National Hall, Aegean Capital, Elite Development Group, Post Road Lofts, Alpha SG, Earle W. Kazis Associates, and Newman's Own Foundation.

HRA's core offerings are organized into six service lines: Commercial Property Management, Multi-Family Residential Property Management, Owner Representative (construction and renovation oversight), Asset Management (long-term investment strategy and lease/debt sourcing), Investment Advisory (market research and sponsor network access), and Residential Estate Management. Services are delivered by a small team of approximately 10 personnel led by Principal Bob Hartt, including property managers, building superintendents and engineers, a controller, a property accountant, and accounts payable staff. The firm does not disclose use of any proprietary technology platform — operations are described as human-driven and relationship-led.

The business model is fee-based, combining managed services (percentage of managed assets or per-unit fees for ongoing property management) with professional services (project-based fees for owner representation, asset management, and investment advisory). Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, anchored by recommendations from major commercial real estate firms including CBRE, with direct phone-based consultations as the primary conversion channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is customized per engagement.
