Hillman Real Estate Group’s Renée Hillman Wins Indy Week’s “Best of the Triangle” Award for Best Realtor in Wake County

RE/MAX leading agent credits repeat clients and exclusive coming soon marketing program for growing team’s successes in the local market

Raleigh, NC – Hillman Real Estate Group, a team of RE/MAX One Realty led by industry veteran Renée Hillman, is celebrating its recent nod in Indy Week’s annual “Best of the Triangle”, in which Renée Hillman was named as the “Best REALTOR® in Wake County”.

The 2016 collection, which according to Indy Week, included “more than six hundred thousand votes from more than twenty thousand voters in more than three hundred categories”, was compiled during two rounds of nominations and voting earlier this year. The list of winners, which was published in June, is said to “reflect the choices of a larger percentage of [our] readers than ever before”, according to Indy Week’s Jeffrey C. Billman.

“Over 80% of our business is driven by repeat clients,” says Hillman, who is a 37 year resident of North Carolina and a Triangle resident since 1990, adding that “those same repeat clients have no hesitation about recommending our team and our high-quality services to their friends, family, and co-workers often.” In addition to having a deep book of satisfied clients from transactions past, Hillman beams with pride when talking about Hillman Real Estate Group’s exclusive “Coming Soon” listing and marketing program that keeps for sale listings’ time on the market low and often nets clients multiple offers and over-list-price closings.
