Bartlesville, Oklahoma’s Hometown Brokerage Since 2008
Chris Hester has been in real estate for over 25 years and founded Hester Realty Group in 2008. Nearly two decades in as an independent brokerage — still local, still family-run, still answering our own phones.
Our Story
Real people. Real Bartlesville. Real results.
Hester Realty Group was founded in 2008 by Chris Hester, who has been practicing real estate in Bartlesville and the surrounding counties for over 25 years. What started as a one-broker shop has grown into a small, tight-knit team of Bartlesville-based agents who share a simple philosophy: treat every client like family, do the right thing even when no one is watching, and know this community better than anyone else.
We’re not a franchise. We’re not a national chain. We’re a locally owned Bartlesville brokerage — which means the person answering your call is the same person negotiating your contract. No corporate transfer desk, no 1-800 number, no scripts.
What Sets Us Apart
Why families choose Hester Realty Group
Everything about how we work is designed for people who want a real neighbor in their corner — not a corporate call center.
Locally Owned Since 2008
Every dollar you spend with us stays in Bartlesville. We live here, our kids go to school here, and we shop where you shop.
