Meet Michaela L. Hartery | Your South Jersey Realtor

Local Roots. 31 Years of Experience. Honest Advice. Strong Negotiation.

I’m Michaela L. Hartery, a Realtor and Broker Associate with Peze & Associates Realtors. For 31 years, I’ve helped buyers and sellers throughout Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties make confident decisions about one of their most important investments.

I was born and raised in Maple Shade, have lived in Collingswood and Marlton, and now call Cherry Hill home. South Jersey isn’t just where I work. It’s where I’ve built my life, raised my family, and developed lasting relationships with the people and communities I serve.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, biking, yoga, salsa dancing, and exploring new places. I love meeting people, bringing people together, and helping others move forward in life.

Real estate is personal to me because every home has a story, and every client has a reason for making their next move.

Experience That Makes a Difference

Before becoming a Realtor, I worked as a paralegal. That experience taught me the importance of contracts, deadlines, attention to detail, and anticipating potential problems before they become bigger issues.

I’m also a real estate investor, which gives me a practical understanding of property values, repairs, improvements, and the financial decisions involved in buying or selling real estate.

After 31 years in the South Jersey real estate market, I’ve guided clients through changing markets, difficult inspections, complex negotiations, estate sales, relocations, and many important life transitions.

My approach is straightforward. I believe in honest advice, smart pricing, thoughtful preparation, effective marketing, and strong negotiation.

I’ll tell you what you need to know, not simply what you want to hear. And when challenges arise, I focus on finding solutions.

Helping South Jersey Homeowners Make Their Next Move

A major focus of my business is helping homeowners successfully sell their properties throughout South Jersey.

Every seller’s circumstances are different, and I believe your selling strategy should reflect your individual needs, timeline, and financial goals.

My seller specialties include:

• Downsizing and Retirement: Helping longtime homeowners transition to smaller homes, 55+ communities, or a more manageable lifestyle.
• Estate and Inherited Properties: Guiding executors, heirs, and families through the process of preparing and selling a loved one’s home.
• Selling a Home As Is: Helping homeowners decide whether repairs and improvements make financial sense or whether selling in the home’s current condition is the better option.
• Relocation and Moving Out of New Jersey: Coordinating home sales for clients moving closer to family, relocating for work, or beginning a new chapter elsewhere.
• Rental and Investment Properties: Helping landlords and investors evaluate property values, market conditions, and selling opportunities.
• Divorce and Life Transitions: Providing professional, objective guidance during sensitive and sometimes complicated situations.
• Traditional Home Sales: Helping homeowners move up, move closer to family, or simply find a home that better fits their needs.

From preparing your home for the market to evaluating offers and negotiating terms, I’ll help you understand your options and make informed decisions every step of the way.

South Jersey Knowledge You Can Count On

My primary real estate markets include Cherry Hill, Marlton and Evesham Township, Mount Laurel, Voorhees, Pennsauken, and Maple Shade, along with surrounding communities throughout Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties.

Having lived and worked in South Jersey for decades, I understand how much neighborhoods, property taxes, housing styles, commuting options, and buyer demand can vary from one community to another.

That local experience helps me provide meaningful advice about pricing, market conditions, and the factors that influence a property’s value.

I also enjoy helping first-time buyers, move-up buyers, relocating families, veterans, and real estate investors find the right South Jersey home.

Whether you’re buying or selling, my goal is to help you make a smart real estate decision, not simply complete a transaction.

Why Clients Choose Michaela

I believe successful real estate relationships are built on trust, communication, and results.

When we work together, you can expect:

• Honest Advice: Straightforward recommendations with your best interests in mind.
• Strong Negotiation: Experienced representation focused on protecting your interests and achieving favorable terms.
• Clear Communication: Regular updates, prompt responses, and guidance throughout the transaction.
• Local Expertise: An understanding of South Jersey neighborhoods, property values, and market conditions.
• Personalized Strategy: A thoughtful plan based on your situation and goals.
• Hands-On Service: Personal attention and problem-solving from our first conversation through closing.

Many of my clients come from repeat business and referrals. Some first worked with me when purchasing their first home and returned years later when they were ready for their next chapter.

Those long-term relationships are among the most rewarding parts of my career.

My goal isn’t simply to sell your house or help you purchase a home. It’s to earn your trust and become the Realtor you confidently recommend to someone you care about.
