A move across the country is no easy feat--and we were fortunate to have our realtor in Montana connect us with Kayla at HREG--before even arriving in NC. Kayla is the most patient, "no pressure, but here when you need me" agent ever! She even offered to go way out of her way to pick us up at our storage unit and take us to the airport on one of our many trips back and forth from Montana. Or help us find apartments while getting settled before housing shopping. She listened to our needs/requests and made suggestions along the way and was often already on our concerns before we could mention them.We ended up purchasing our dream home and we're so glad to have Kayla and HREG backing us to ensure every little step along the way was taken care of to make closing day a reality. Rebecca organized all the inspections and took the time to prepare a contact list of services in our new area. Kayla connected us with a fantastic banker, who treated us like family from day one and there was great communication 24/7. GREAT experience!

After living in Raleigh for 10 years and making the move to Durham, Kayla Thompson was recommended to assist in finding our first home. Kayla was excited to work with us, listened to all of our needs/wants, and answered all of our questions with insight. Kayla is extremely knowledgeable of the Raleigh-Durham area and current market. We are so glad we had Kayla and her team (Rebecca) on our side! They made sure all of our appointments and inspections were scheduled on time and closing was an absolute breeze. We have recommended the HREG team to family and friends after our experience.

Renee and her team were amazing! Everything was orchestrated perfectly from beginning to end and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We chose this group after reading lists that had them ranked among the top realtors in the area. The marketing package was the best it could be! We highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with Renee and her team. Our realtor Kayla was extremely helpful through the process. This was our first home, so it could have been really a stressful experience, but Kayla made sure to make it a smooth process for us. She is such a professional and knowledgeable person. More like a friend, always just a text away. Thank you so much Team Renee for finding us our first house that too new construction, single family house in our budget.

Have used Renee Hillman's group for a couple of moves in the Triangle and really appreciate her knowledge of the local real estate landscape, the ease of working with her, and her guidance though the sale/buying process.

A friend recommended the Hillman Real Estate Group, and I could not be happier with the service! Robin Lilley (my realtor) was patient, experienced, and well known in her industry and the Raleigh market. She listened to what I wanted and responded immediately to every request. Even after my home purchase, she continues to help me and make sure any issues are resolved. The real estate group was helpful in connecting me with excellent resources for inspections, lender selection, and closing. They even left me a personalized giftbag and booklet for my new home! This was a first-time home purchase for me, and I loved the experience with this real estate group!

Our family needed help finding the perfect home from halfway across the country. We couldn't be in the area to look at homes. Robin was an absolute rockstar when we found the perfect home and needed her to jump on it. She made sure that the home we wanted would be safe for our children and not a bad purchase for us. She was very real and down to earth. We couldn't be happier with the way the team as a whole made the transition smooth for us. You can't go wrong with the team at Hillman!!!

We worked with Jonathan at getting our first home. The experience was amazing! Jonathan helped in every way possible and made this a great first home buying experience. He was able to explain everything throughout the process, explore new communities we hadn't thought of and help in any communication we had with our builders. We also worked with Rebecca in setting up inspections and she was very helpful and efficient in getting it done. Would highly recommend Hillman Group for anyone looking for a realtor!

Working with Renee and her office manager Rebecca was awesome. I did not have any connections in this area who could really recommend a seller's agent to me, so I did a lot of online research and interviewed multiple agents/brokers before hiring Renee. From our first meeting, Renee clearly stood out as the most efficient, knowledgable, and professional of the bunch. Even though I had met with other agents who were asking for a slightly lower commission, I still went with my gut and hired Renee. She did not try to oversell herself or give me inflated estimates of the value of my house that she would later have to walk back. She backed up everything with market data and research, was a consistent straight-shooter, and was someone I felt that I could trust to help me navigate the sales process. I have no regrets about hiring Renee, as she handled the whole sales process very professionally while also being a reliable, friendly, and personable partner. She made smart recommendations about what repairs/updates we should do, and what it would not be worth doing before listing our house. She also set up a free staging consultation, which really helped us to make sure our house popped in the photos and looked its best for showings. At the end of the day, she got our house listed and sold exactly on the timeframe and in the price range we had hoped for and steered us smoothly through the whole process. Importantly, Renee helped us to pick the right price point for the listing, and it was spot on. We were somewhat unsure what to expect for pricing, as we bought this house during COVID craziness (2020) and had seen property prices first skyrocket and then start to drop as interest rates and inflation went up in early 2023. We really didn't know what price to ask for our house, and we were hearing pretty divergent numbers from various agents we had interviewed before hiring Renee. However, Renee was able to find the perfect sweet spot in terms of pricing, and we ended up having lots of interest in the house, multiple offers, and were under contract within 48 hours. She was also super helpful in the negotiation process with the buyers, including navigating their requests during due diligence. One of the most important things for me was that Renee and Rebecca were super responsive throughout the whole process - even before I had formally hired Renee - and they always went the extra mile to keep me informed and up to date. Unquestionably, Renee is a fantastic, experienced, and super helpful real estate pro. I would strongly recommend Renee and her team to anyone selling a home in the Triangle area. You will be in great hands with Hillman Real Estate Group.

Renee and her team were wonderful, incredibly patient, and so helpful ensuring that getting our home ready to sell, listed, and sold at a somewhat tumultuous time in the market went smoothly. We barely had to think about anything as the process was made incredibly clear and she and her team were so on top of everything. I will absolutely recommend Hillman Real Estate to everyone I know looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Our story begins in San Diego. We decided early this year that we wanted to move to the Raleigh area to be closer to family and our grandson. We were referred to Renee Hillman and started working with one of her buyers' agents, Robin Lilley. I can't say enough about Robin. While we were in California, she set us up on a search based on criteria we gave her. She went and checked out homes, even shooting videos to share with us.Once in NC, we hit the ground running. It didn't take long to find our next home. The real estate business is a little different here than in CA and Robin was great at explaining all of this to us. She guided us through every step and before long we had an accepted offer. At that point, the Client Care Coordinator, Stephanie Kluttz, assisted us in scheduling any and all inspections we decided on. She arranged it with the sellers and all we had to do was show up. We received copies of all reports in a timely manner and assisted with anything we asked.Buying a home is a BIG decision and can be overwhelming. You need a team behind you that is there for you in every way. If you are in the Raleigh area or moving to this area, you need to reach out to this team. They are awesome and so very pleasant to work with. The kind of humans you want in your corner.
