A partnership rooted in excellence
When Art Herling began his real estate career in 1980, he was already deeply connected to Philadelphia. Born in Lawncrest and raised in Flourtown, his understanding of the city has always been rooted in people, neighborhoods, and long-standing relationships. A former Philadelphia public school teacher, Art built his career around a simple belief: trust comes first, and success is earned over time.
Over more than four decades, Art emerged as both a respected leader and a hands-on advisor—building a high-performing team known for agent excellence, deep market expertise, and service across every segment of real estate. His approach has always focused on empowering agents and serving clients with care and integrity.
That philosophy aligns naturally with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, founded in Pittsburgh in 1957 and built on the same people-first values. Together, Art Herling and Howard Hanna bring a shared legacy of trust, family leadership, and an agent-first platform to Philadelphia—strengthening what already works and building for what’s next.
