We find the markets, build the assets, and run them right. Hartley Fund Group develops and operates self-storage — and brings investors in alongside us.
Spokane, Washington.
President & Founder
20+ years across investment management, financial planning, and tax strategy. Steve underwrites for downside first — conservative leverage, transparent capital stacks, operator alignment. He teaches finance and investment at Gonzaga University.
Director of Acquisitions
Matt leads acquisitions across the Hartley portfolio, with a particular focus on the 1031 exchange platform — helping property owners navigate 1031 exchanges into self-storage and other Hartley properties.
CFO
Kim oversees $40M+ in assets across the Hartley portfolio, managing investor relations, capital allocation, and portfolio performance. She brings a disciplined, data-driven approach to every investment decision.
Director of Development
Licensed civil engineer with deep experience in ground-up development. Ryan oversees site selection, entitlement, and construction across the Hartley portfolio. He has delivered over 400 residential units and multiple commercial projects.
Hartley works with outside securities counsel, tax counsel, and a third-party fund administrator. The operation runs on institutional infrastructure — not solo bookkeeping.
Self-storage has been one of the most consistent real estate asset classes of the last two decades. We've been operating in it long enough to know what makes a deal work — and what kills one.
Hartley 1031 offers self-storage properties for sale as real estate to exchange buyers. We underwrite conservatively, and we don't promise returns we can't model.
The structure is simple. The deals are real. That's the whole thing.
