Why Our Clients Keep Coming Back—and Telling Their Friends
In real estate, there’s nothing more meaningful than a client returning for help with their next chapter—or referring their friends and family. That trust is everything to us.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with clients through all kinds of life changes—new beginnings, family moves, and even the emotional journey of handling an estate. Each situation is unique, but our goal is always the same: to make the process as seamless, supportive, and successful as possible.
One of our longtime clients shared:
“Thirteen years ago, after retiring, we decided to move to Raleigh from Virginia. With only general familiarity with the area, we needed professional guidance, and found Renee on the net. Considering our budget and lifestyle, she recommended Apex. We loved the place and Renee helped us buy a new home within walking distance of the downtown — one of our priorities. About a year later, Money Magazine, for good reason, ranked Apex the best small town in America. Great advice from Renee.”
Years later, when it was time to move again—this time to be closer to their grandchildren—they didn’t hesitate to call us back. Selling a home remotely can be stressful, but we handled everything from contractor coordination to staging and negotiations. As they put it:
“While we were mainly living in Charlotte, Renee arranged contractor work, did market research, and staging. She secured an attractive offer we accepted in a bit over a week, and successfully addressed a novel buyer concern applying diligence, experience, and expertise. After closing, we told Renee that she had treated us like a daughter and that we couldn’t think of higher praise.” – Vince & Rosie G.
Those words mean the world.
We’re also incredibly grateful for the families who trust us during complex, emotionally charged moments—like selling a home as part of an estate. One recent client shared this:
“Renee and Rebecca did an extraordinary job working us (although hours from Raleigh) through the process of renovating and selling property that was part of an estate. They took a sticky situation and patiently made it smooth and effortless for us. The amazing part is that each person who writes one of these reviews feels like they are Renee and Rebecca’s only priority. This kind of service and attention is rare, and so VALUABLE. I’m forever grateful.” – Aedan B.
Helping clients navigate those transitions with care is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. At Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty, we’ve spent over a decade helping clients successfully navigate the complexities of selling inherited properties. With an average of seven estate homes sold annually—and a peak of 12 in a single year.
All this to say: whether it’s your first home, a retirement move, or the sale of a beloved family property—we’re here to help every step of the way.
