Katannya Hartwell, ABR®, RSPS, believes real estate should feel less like a transaction and more like a grounded, intuitive experience.
A Flagstaff-based Realtor® since 2019, Katannya brings strategic clarity and calm to every step of the real estate journey — whether you’re buying a first home, selling a long-time residence, or investing in a property with income potential. She specializes in unique homes, second properties, and lifestyle-driven decisions, offering guidance that’s as thoughtful as it is practical.
Katannya’s approach is shaped by a diverse background in psychology, Waldorf education, and small business. Before real estate, she taught in both public and private schools and ran a successful TaeKwonDo school. That blend of teaching, leadership, and lifelong learning informs her steady, client-centered style.
She also brings five years of experience in the short-term rental space through Bear Paw Comforts LLC, a business she helped build to support hospitality-focused property owners. This firsthand perspective gives her clients a deeper understanding of what it means to buy, sell, or invest in a home that serves both personal and practical needs.
Curious by nature and grounded in Flagstaff’s outdoor lifestyle, Katannya’s interests range from hiking, climbing, and snowboarding to science fiction, the human condition, and well-loved episodes of Survivor. Whether she’s guiding clients or exploring a new trail, her work reflects a deep appreciation for growth, resilience, and meaningful connection.
Clients describe her as intuitive, strategic, and quietly brilliant — the kind of Realtor® who helps you tune into what matters and move forward with confidence.
