Renee Hillman leads this Raleigh eXp Realty top producer team of real estate agents. Experience matters! Let us defend your home's equity.
If you follow along with us here at Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty, you already know we have a soft spot for architectural significance. While our team is widely known for our love of modernist homes—celebrating clean lines, forward-thinking designs, and intentional living—our underlying passion is always the same: we believe great architecture has a story to tell, and the best cities are the ones that preserve their history.
At Hillman Real Estate Group, we believe that real estate is about more than just transactions—it’s about “pouring into” the communities we serve. This month, our very own Jonathan Edwards, REALTOR®, did exactly that by returning to his old stomping grounds at North Carolina Central University (NCCU).
This fall, we had the honor of furnishing our ninth apartment in partnership with the REALTOR® Giving Network, marking a very special milestone: their 125th apartment furnished! This project, done in collaboration with The Carying Place, was an opportunity for our team to put boots on the ground and help families in need create a warm, welcoming home.
At Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty, giving back is part of who we are. This October, we were honored to participate in “I Heart eXp Day” for the fifth consecutive year—a nationwide event where eXp brokers come together to volunteer in their local communities. It’s incredible to see the collective power of over 100 local volunteers making a real difference.
Each year, the Triangle Parade of Homes gives us an inside look at the latest design and architecture trends shaping new homes across the Raleigh area—and REALTOR® Day is always a favorite! This special day gives REALTORS® the opportunity to tour showstopping homes before the second public weekend of the event.
This year, we’re kicking off the ninth annual Undies Drive for our friends at Note in the Pocket at the start of the school year, because it’s the kids who matter most!
Thanks to your generosity, we donated $5,000 to Note in the Pocket and $5,000 to Clothes to Kids of Haywood County, a nonprofit that suffered devastating losses when its entire operation was flooded and had to be rebuilt.
In early November 2024, the Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty team swapped the real estate market for the bowling alley—all for a great cause!
We joined 160 fellow REALTORS® at the sixth annual Strike Out Homelessness bowling benefit, hosted by the REALTOR® Giving Network,, where our team leader, Renée, proudly served as a former board member. The event raised funds for the network’s vital “Disaster Relief Fund,” helping those in need during times of crisis.
While the real highlight was supporting a meaningful cause and connecting with other agents, we’d be remiss not to mention our award-winning achievement—we proudly took home the title for Best Bowling Shirts!

In a community with such rich resources, it’s hard to grasp that homelessness has become a public health crisis. The numbers are staggering—6,500 Wake County Public School children are homeless. The RRAR believes that agents can harness their collective power to fill the gaps in services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. With funding, they can supercharge local housing nonprofits to service their clients with hope and dignity.
The RRAR REALTOR® Giving Network offers agents an opportunity to give back to the community in which they work and live. Learn more at RRARGivingNetwork.com.
It’s time for the eighth annual Undies Drive for our friends at Note in the Pocket, and this year, we’re making an even bigger impact.
“I Heart eXp Day” is a nationwide event where eXp brokers come together to volunteer in their local communities, and we’re honored to have been a part of it for four consecutive years. It’s incredible to witness the collective power of over 100 volunteers right here in our area, making a real difference.
Several times throughout the year, our team gets out of the office and into our community to share time together putting our hands to work for those who need it the most.
And that’s a wrap on 2023! We had another amazing year here at Hillman Real Estate Group. Take a trip down memory lane with us!
