What Clients Say About Renee: The Haggard Family

Renee Hillman on January 28, 2016

Our wonderful client Beth Haggard was kind enough to recently write the following review at Realtor.com about the services my team and I were able to provide to her family during the recent sale of their home:

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Renee. From day 1 of coming to do an initial walk through of our home, she sat down with us and explained step-by-step how everything would work (since this was our first time selling). She gave us a nice little organized folder that had all the information we would need. She gave helpful suggestions on how to organize and stage our home so that it would be show-ready! She researched our area thoroughly and helped us list it at just the right price.

We had multiple showings within the first few days, and TWO offers by the 5th day of being on the market! We knew she was good, but wow, that was faster that we ever could have imagined! Since we had multiple offers, she was able to get us exactly what we were asking for…”

“We could pretty much get a hold of her anytime day or night, but in the case that she was busy (because everyone wants her!), her Client Care Specialist, Jenn was there to answer our questions, which I think makes their firm very unique. I kept commenting on how I was in awe of how organized Renee is. I have already recommended her to family and friends and would certainly recommend her to anyone else looking to buy or sell a home!”

Thank you very much for the kind words, Beth – it’s great clients like you that make this a dream job for my entire team. We love working with clients like you and sincerely appreciate the referrals you have been willing to make on our behalf!

What Clients Say About Renee: Mike & Cathy Evans

Renee Hillman on October 4, 2015

Thank you, Mike and Cathy! Working with you to sell your North Raleigh condo was wonderful!

“We listed a condo in North Raleigh with Renee over the summer. We found Renee based on the great reviews she received from sellers in our area. All the reviews talked about her knowledge, responsiveness, energy and what a pleasure she was to work with through the buying/selling experience – and they were right! We could not have been happier! We had a very successful experience selling the condo thanks to Renee! Even though I’m sure our condo was one of her smaller listings we always felt like we were her only customer. If we need to buy or sell again we will definitely call Renee. And if anyone we know is looking to buy or sell in this area we will definitely recommend Renee.” — Mike and Cathy Evans

Couldn’t be happier and we have already referred her to others!” – Stephanie Zynda

What Clients Say About Renee: Umasankar Natanakumar and Leena Amarnath

Renee Hillman on July 7, 2015

Thank you for allowing me to help in your relocation to North Carolina, Umasankar and Leena!

“My wife and I relocated from Colorado and wanted a realtor who was knowledgeable about the local market conditions. After reading reviews about Renee online we decided to go with her. Right from the get go she guided us through the whole process like which areas to watch out for, the type of home construction, the location, etc. We were able to buy our house within two weeks because Renee had made it easier for us to narrow down our search. She is also very responsive and reminds you of things to be done at the appropriate time. She is a very knowledgeable and an amicable person. We definitely recommend Renee.” — Umasankar Natanakumar and Leena Amarnath

What the Seller Says About 8408 Old Ponderosa Circle

Renee Hillman on May 5, 2015

Things we Love about Raleigh:

We love the location! We are just 2 hours to the beach and 2 hours or so to mountains. We also really enjoy the weather, although Mother Nature is moody sometimes, we do get all 4 seasons.

We enjoy being 15 minutes from downtown Raleigh where we can go to the PNC Arena for a concert or a hockey game. There’s also Carter Finley Stadium where you can watch the wolfpack play football! Duke Energy Center makes for a great date night to watch the performing arts and the kids enjoy a day at Marbles Museum.

Places we Love to Eat:

We love La Piazza right down 50. It’s simply fabulous! You can’t beat a family owned Italian restaurant. Simple Twist as well as 42 Craft Beverage are also 2 great places!

Of course, there are tons of choices at White Oak. You can always grab a good steak at Outback right off Hwy 70.

Places we Like to go for Grocery Shopping & Other Conveniences:

We shop at BJ’s at White Oak which is just minutes away! LOVE Aplus Nails! We shop at Food Lion and Harris Teeter. We love White Oak all around and Cabela’s just opened! At White Oak you can find all your sporting good needs, a Dollar Tree, tons of eateries, Kohl’s, Target, nail places, sports bars, ice cream shops, and more! You can go shopping, get a pedi/mani or haircut, grab dinner, and catch a movie all in one place! We are also close to Walmart and Sheetz.
What we Were Drawn to When we Bought our Home:

We loved the HUGE backyard and deck for grilling and entertaining. We’ve hosted a number of events out back and there’s always room for plenty of fun for adults and kids. Our bonus room was also a huge draw. We love sports so we knew we would use it for watching games with friends as well as doubling as a play room for the kids. The neighborhood was very warm and welcoming.

Things we Love and Enjoy About the Area:

There are lots of parks for trails and playing nearby such as White Deer Park and Lake Benson.

The Garner Performing Arts Center is close by and Garner Parks & Rec is a great organization. The people around the area are always helpful and kind. We enjoy the convenience of having any kind of store or activity nearby that we need. There are always family friendly and holiday events at Lake Benson. If you are a young professional there is of course plenty to enjoy in downtown. There are great churches in the area as well as daycares. Calvary Baptist has been wonderful for my kids as they attend preschool and camps there.

About our Neighborhood:

We love that we have neighbors close by but our houses are not right on top of each other. There’s plenty of space, but also have the reassurance that a friendly family is close by should you need anything.

Our neighborhood is very diverse. We have young newlyweds, young professionals, and an abundance of couples with kids ranging from 0- to college age. Folks are friendly and we have made lifelong friends in this neighborhood. It’s also a great place for a walk in the early morning or in the evening.

What the Seller Says about 137 Beaconwood Lane in Holly Springs, NC

Renee Hillman on April 5, 2015

Things you love about Holly Springs:

Holly Springs was named the “Best Place to Raise Kids in North Carolina” by Bloomberg Businessweek in 2013. The school systems are great. There are lots of places to eat or shop new growth and shopping coming as well.

Where do you love to eat (think date nights, quick bites, upscale, the hole in the wall place): The Olive Garden is great for Italian and pasta, NY Pizza has the best NY style pizza around, Kobe Hibachi and Sushi has high quality sushi and tasty hibachi, Homegrown Pizza won’t disappoint, The Mason Jar Tavern has a great southern hospitality environment, Bass Lake Draft House has great food and is kid friendly, and of course there’s always Buffalo Wild Wings and Chick-fil-A.

Where do you do your grocery shopping & other conveniences: Target, Walmart, and Harris Teeter are the main places I shop for groceries. I love to stop at Lee Spa Nails for a mani/pedi and then hit Massage Envy to release some stress with a relaxing massage. There are tons of places for shopping in Holly Springs Towne Center: Target, Marshall’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Children’s Place, Pier 1, Hallmark, and Petco just to name a few.

What were you drawn to when you bought your home:

The open concept was a real selling point. It’s great to be able to entertain while cooking in the kitchen while still being able to visit with guests in the dining and living areas. The double sinks in both the master as well as the guest bath was also a major plus. It’s great having the laundry room so close to the bedrooms and the upstairs hall closet is great for storage as well as the attic. It’s nice to see green bushes and trees out back rather than other houses.

What do you love/enjoy about the area:

I love shopping for fresh local fruits and veggies at The Holly Springs Farmers Market. In the spring and summer, I enjoy going to Bass Lake Park and Retreat Center to enjoy the weather. There’s always something exciting going on Holly Springs Cultural Center and of course I love shopping at Holly Springs Towne Center!

Tell us something about your neighborhood:

The pool is a great retreat in the summer. The neighbors are friendly. It’s a great neighborhood to walk/run in while feeling safe.

What Clients Say About Renee: The Waltons

Renee Hillman on March 5, 2015

Many thanks to Alli Walton and family for selecting me as your Realtor – It’s a pleasure to work hard for YOU!

“We’d never bought a home that wasn’t new and honestly had NO idea what we were doing. Thank heaven we had Renee! We ran into roadblocks, errors, stumbles, and unexpected problems, and she smoothed every single one. It’s a lot of work to run all the reports, inspections, repairs, re-inspections, negotiations, etc. It’s even harder to do it with a smile and love what you do. When you find folks that make difficult things easy, you tell your friends. Hey friends, Renee is great at this! :-)”

What Clients Say About Renee: The Toothmans

Renee Hillman on March 5, 2015

I loved working with the Toothman family again (for a fourth time!) and am glad we were able to secure a quick sale for them! We worked together in the past to sell their first townhome, buy and sell their next home, and now have settled into a new “forever” home!

Read what the Toothmans had to say about the experience here:
Renee had our North Raleigh home under contract in 4 days! If that doesn’t make a family happy, I don’t know what would! Not only was our home under contract quickly, we also received full asking price!

Renee worked with us tirelessly to find a new home in Apex for our growing family. She would meet with us with a few hours notice when a new home came on the market and was always prepared with comps from newly sold homes in the area so we could make an informed decision. Renee is very knowledgeable about the Cary/Apex area so she was a wonderful resource as we ventured into unknown areas.

6 months after starting our search for a new home, we found our dream! Renee met with us the same day it came on the market and had our offer prepared and sent to the seller’s agent within several hours. We have referred Renee to several friends and family members in their recent moves and she will definitely have our business if we decide to move again. Thank you Renee for helping our family find our ‘Forever’ Home!

What Clients Say About Renee: The Thomas Family

Renee Hillman on February 5, 2015

Thank you, Thomas Family – I enjoyed working with you and am so glad we found a great fit for your first home purchase!

“Renee is an amazing person with an amazing set of skills and vast amount of knowledge. As first time home buyers, she helped us in so many ways. We never felt pressured. She made the process easy, and she went above and beyond our expectations. She assisted with questions we didn’t even think to ask and stayed with us through our entire house building process.” – The Thomas Family
