"Working with Robin Lilley from Hillman Real Estate Group was an exceptional experience. As first-time homebuyers in Wendell, NC, we had a lot of questions and concerns, but Robin was incredibly responsive and proactive throughout the entire process. She arranged numerous tours to fit our busy schedules and took the time to explain each step clearly, making everything feel manageable. Her expertise in the local market was invaluable in helping us find our dream home in a wonderful community. What truly impressed us was that her support continued well beyond closing; she has been a fantastic resource even after we moved in. We wholeheartedly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate agent in Wendell, NC."

“Jonathan and Renee are excellent! They know all the things to warn you about, what to check, when to trigger things. They are ON TOP of everything. Jonathan is also excellent at letting you know what not to stress out about!“

"I recently had to sell my parents' home as part of settling their estate. It was a very emotional and difficult endeavor. However, once I engaged with Renee's agency, the stress and anxiety became greatly diminished. She (and her office manager Rebecca) took great care with my situation and managed all the moving pieces of my home sale to perfection, communicating with me throughout the process. I highly recommend the Renee Hillman agency and would not hesitate to use them again myself."

“HREG was fantastic across the board. From price recommendation to marketing, my house sold within a week with multiple offers in a challenging market! 10s all around for the team, communication, and professionalism. This was as smooth of an experience as you can ask for when moving. I couldn't recommend them enough!”

“Renee and Rebecca are everything you could ask for in a REALTOR®. I would whole heartedly recommend Hillman Real Estate Group.”

“I highly recommend Renee and her team! My house sold the first day it was listed to the first person who looked at it! Thanks to her team for helping me stage it for a fast sale! Awesome group to work with. It was a seamless process!“

"Renee has ALWAYS given us sound advice with preparing our home for the market and getting the best price. Her communication skills are stellar. She was always one step ahead of what we would have questions about. She simply is the BEST!"

"Renee and her team are absolute rockstars! Renee and Rebecca listed and sold my house within 48 hours. They were able to keep everything on track and organized so that I could focus on other things that needed my attention. Their support was immeasurable! I certainly could not have done it without them. Jonathan was equally as amazing with the purchase of my new home. There are so many moving pieces when you are trying to buy and sell at the same time and this team was able to hold my hand and make everything seamless. Stacey was great at keeping me on track with important dates and appointments which was very helpful as well. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, Hillman Real Estate team is the best in the biz. I recommend them to everyone I know and they will also be my first call!"

"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. When we bought another house in Charlotte late last year to be closer to grandchildren, we unhesitatingly turned to Renee to sell our Apex home. 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. For buying or selling a home in the Raleigh area, take it from us, you want Renee and her associates on your side. Highly recommended."

"We could have written the same words you can find in every one of the Hillman Group's five-star ratings - 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."

"My husband and I had a great experience working with Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty to find our first home! Our REALTOR® went above and beyond and showed deep knowledge of the area, provided tailored searches based on what we were looking for, and shared valuable information on comps. When it came time to put in an offer, we felt we had everything we needed in order to make a decision and feel good about it! Once we had our offer accepted, the process was seamless and there was constant communication and referrals provided along the way to meet all of our closing and future home needs. We couldn’t recommend this team enough and appreciate all of their efforts to find us our perfect home."

"Renee has many years of experience in real estate, which she uses to give her clients an honest, informed, and clear assessment of what to expect when buying or selling a home. Renee and her staff worked with us through every step of the process. When we needed to make some last-minute repairs, she arranged for first-rate contractors who did the work quickly and capably. Her staff is efficient and accessible, especially Rebecca, who walked us through completing all the necessary paperwork and made sure all our questions were answered. We wholeheartedly recommend Renee to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"I can’t imagine a more difficult process than buying a home long-distance but Robin Lilley of the Hillman Group made it as smooth as possible. Robin’s great communication, thoughtful guidance and expertise made a three-week close seem simple. We were so delighted to work with Robin we can’t imagine working with another realtor in future, and we’re grateful to the entire HREG team for exemplifying service throughout the process."

"Renee and the team at HREG helped me buy my first home this fall. Jonathan went above and beyond to help me evaluate my options and brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to my search. Rebecca in client care broke the closing process down into clear, manageable steps with timely reminders throughout. I really can’t say enough good things about working with this group."

"I can’t imagine a more difficult process than buying a home long-distance but Robin Lilley of the Hillman Real Estate Group made it as smooth as possible. Robin’s great communication, thoughtful guidance and expertise made a three-week close seem simple. We were so delighted to work with Robin we can’t imagine working with another realtor in future, and we’re grateful to the entire HREG team for exemplifying service throughout the process."

"What an incredible real estate experience I had. My agent, Chris Clark is the most knowledgeable. No pressure, so easy to work with in all my real estate history ( and there has been many!) When I lost out on a home I really wanted, Chris found me an even BETTER alternative. He negotiated on my behalf for a perfect transaction, guiding me through some of the not so typical inspections, etc. The Hillman team took it upon themselves to provide contractors and the best home warranty company. I couldn’t be more pleased. Don’t hesitate to contact Hillman for any real estate needs!"

"Renée and her team are phenomenal. They are extremely knowledgeable and made selling my home as hassle-free as possible. Renée offered her expertise and guidance while also respecting my decisions. The team is extraordinarily responsive at all hours. And, even when Renée had a personal event that was going to delay her responses for six hours, she let us know upfront. Renée is super strategic and really knows the lay of the land in the Triangle area. You cannot go wrong with Hillman Real Estate!"

"We are completely satisfied with our first-time home buying experience using Robin Lilley at Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty! From start to finish, Robin made the process as smooth as possible, answering our endless questions patiently along the way. Her expertise led to the best possible outcome for our home purchase. We can't imagine going through this process with anyone else, and would absolutely call her back in the future if we needed to buy or sell a home. Robin truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have had her by our side. Rebecca, the office manager, was also super efficient, organized, and a great communicator. Highly recommend the Hillman Group to anyone looking to buy a home"

"Renee and her team were amazing to work with! Renee's marketing strategy is second to none and she sold my house in four days! It is definitely the very best seller experience I have ever had. If you are looking to buy or sell your house, don't hesitate- don't wait- call her!!!"

"Renee and her team are amazing! I bought my first home with team member Robin Lilley in 2016, and the process was smooth and issue-free. Now, eight years later, Renee helped me sell that same property while I was out of state. Kudos also to Rebecca Wise for facilitating. Communication was always timely, and they handled every detail efficiently. Appreciate the collaboration and the stress-free process! Renee Hillman Real Estate Group is definitely 5-stars, would recommend!"

"We hired the Hillman Real Estate Group to handle the sale of my father's estate. Every aspect was handled quick and professionally, they also got us top dollar for this property. Thank you Renee and Rebecca for being such a great team to work with!"

"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!"

"It was great to have Renée as my selling realtor. She has great business acumen, is very personable, and backed by a great team of experts who truly know the local market. Renée is patient as well, and ready to answer any questions that homeowners (or future owners) might bring to her. This ReMax team seemed like it was always available to me, and whenever I would send an email to cover some point, their responsiveness back to me was unparalleled. In my case, I was unable to be physically present as this house was marketed, but Renée was a great proxy, so that I was always aware if something back home needed to be taken care of. This was a great load off of my mind as an absentee owner. I highly recommend Renée and the strong team that comes with her to anyone buying or selling in this market."

"From the very first meeting Renee Hillman and Robin Lilley demonstrated their extensive real estate knowledge and expertise, and immediately put us at ease to begin our home buying journey. We worked closely with Robin during the search. Robin gave us honest advise, expert opinions, and was very patient with all of our questions. Most importantly she listened and picked up on details big and small to help us find the correct house to meet all of our needs. She even came to the rescue for us when we bit off a little more than we could chew on an offer. Working with Renee and Robin was the best home buying/selling experience we've had and couldn't be any more happy with their services."

"Renee and Rebecca were awesome to work with! From the first time we met Renee, we loved her confidence and knowledge of our specific market. Every step of the process was clearly communicated and made so simple...and, of course, the day-one sale was pretty great as well! We would highly recommend Renee and her team!"

"We met with quite a few agents before choosing Renee, because of her experience, professionalism, and friendly, open demeanor. We absolutely could not have been happier with the service we received. She helped us sell our home in just a few days, AND got us over our asking price!!! We cannot say enough amazing things about Renee and her wonderful staff."

“This is the second time we have worked with Renee and her team. Renee helped find us our first home nearly 5 years ago. We had such a positive experience, we called upon her again for our next move (to assist with both buying and selling). Renee’s knowledge, experience, and insight were truly invaluable. She and Robin expertly navigated us through the unconventional process of buying a home in bankruptcy. This could have been extremely stressful; however, they were constantly in contact with us, the trustee, the listing agent, and legal team to make sure everything was progressing on track. I felt great comfort knowing we were supported, as were our best interests, throughout the entire process. We are now settled and LOVING our new, forever home  Due to the more lengthy buying process, we ended up listing our previous house right before a snowstorm in December. Renee had prepped us well for listing (giving us detailed instructions and helpful tips), but I was concerned about how quickly we’d sell during a slower season for the real estate market. After “coming soon” marketing, an early open house, and only 2 days on the market, we received multiple offers! We ended up selling our house for about 5K higher than we anticipated, all on our terms. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and a more outstanding team. We would HIGHLY recommend HREG for any of your real estate needs!”

"As a first time home buyer, I had zero knowledge when it came to real estate, and being someone who always tried to figure out things by herself, I, for a moment, though I did not need an agent representing me. LUCKILY! I decided to find an agent and help me with this scary Home buying process. I found Renee through some online search and decided to contact her to test the water. One of my biggest pet peeves is I can’t stand slow responses, but when I sent Renee the initial email, I swore she replied back to me within 5 mins! This definitely gave me really good feeling/vibes because from personal experience, I know if someone who is passionate about what they do, they want to make sure they are on top of everything and won’t keep their customers wait. I met with her and Robin and they gave me this warm and friendly feeling. My guts told me that they were gonna help me go through this process so smoothly so I went with them. My entire process and experience working with Robin was amazing. She replied to all my emails instantly. She worked with my builder and always kept me in the loop on what happened. I get nervous very easily and am always worried about too many things. But when I worked with Robin, I was never worried about one single thing because she handled everything professionally and promptly. If you are looking for buying a home, I highly recommend Renee and Robin!"

"Renée and her team are the best. Buying and/or selling a home is stressful but Renée minimized that stress through upfront expectation setting, clear and frequent communication, and providing support of a customer oriented staff. From start to Sold I felt like I was well taken care of. My next home sale or purchase will be with Renée and her team."

"We were referred to Renee by our mortgage broker and are so thankful we were given her name. Renee was instrumental in helping us find our perfect first home. She took into account everything we found important and went out home searching at times that were convenient for us. We loved her honest advice about what we should expect to find in our price range. Even after we purchased and closed on our home, Renee made it a point to check in on us and make sure all the jobs that were contracted were completed in a timely manner. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking to buy a new home- we most certainly will be calling her again when we out grown our first home."

"We recently sold our home with Renee and can not say enough about how seamless she and the team made the process. We were able to sell our home with 10 offers in less than 2 full days on the market for 11K over our asking price. We recently purchased our new home privately from a friend and saw first hand how much effort it takes to coordinate the sale of a home. Renee is working hard behind the scenes and covered every detail from start to finish. Selling your home is stressful, but with this team, the process is as smooth as possible. Leave it to the pros if you want to decrease the time your home is on the market and get the best possible sale price you can! Thanks Renee!"

"I could not have asked for a better experience. Renee is the best of the best. She is professional, easy to work with and her level of expertise is amazing. Renee also has a stellar team to assist in the process. My home was under contract very quickly and we even received over the asking price!"

"I recently worked with Renee to sell my home in Durham and had an outstanding experience. She was recommended by a friend and completely exceeded my expectations. Even though I no longer live in the area of the home, she made the process incredibly convenient. Two days after listing, we received 6 offers all over list price. We closed a few weeks later with an incredible deal. It was fast, easy, and Renee and her team was incredibly responsive and professional. I could not recommend her more!"

"My husband and I LOVED Renee! She helped us find the home buyer who's offer we ended up accepting in THREE DAYS! She takes the time to understand what you're looking for, offers honest advice, and never misses a beat. She was fun and professional and helped us sell our townhouse with ease. There's no competition, she's absolutely the best!"

"You will not find a better team in the Triangle! Renee and her Team are very tuned in to the market. They hold your hand and let you know what to expect the entire process. The communication I received from her was incredible and made me feel like I knew what was happening and what I should do every step of the way. I can't say enough about the service and attention and over the top professionalism! I would recommend to anyone and I will be using them again for any of my real estate needs."

"My house sold today! I was very happy to have Renee Hillman, plus her team, as my agent. I recommend them without reservation. Here are a few reasons why: Renee does her research. This happened even before we met in person so that during our first discussion she could give me a range of asking prices I could think about for the house. She took my situation and preferences into account (I wasn't living in the house, I wasn't in a hurry to sell, etc.) and made a recommendation. The number we settled on was higher than I'd expected but fine--no hurry. The majority of online comments that came in judged that the house was over-priced. But in the end? We had two offers, within a couple of weeks, the higher one for almost 4% more than our asking price. The right people found our house and liked it. Renee had great judgment. Selling a house turns out to be a lot more complicated than I'd expected. There were lawyers to talk with, electricians, window repair people, a junk removal service, cleaners... people doing stuff that needed to be fixed. There's the process as well: staging the house, taking photographs, putting the information online (Zillow and other places), managing walk-throughs and an open house, and probably other things I've forgotten. The bottom line is that Renee took care of all of this. I could have been more involved--she's transparent about everything going on--but I trusted her to make it all work. She did. The Zillow house listing was getting between 100 and 700 views every day, and there were a couple of dozen visits. I was in a complicated situation, living 300 miles away and visiting Raleigh once every few weeks. And the house was still half-full! How could I get everything out in time for the closing? Rebecca, Renee's assistant, stepped up and supervised donations to charity (including disassembling an entire floor loom!), cleaning, junk removal, and so forth. That's my story, with a happy ending."

"Renee and Robin were great to work with. They took the time to sit down and understand exactly what we were looking for and made the whole process relatively easy."  

"Renee and Robin helped me to buy my first home. They have done a great job and I would definitely recommend them! Renee came to the first meeting and was very prepared, she understood what I was looking for and was able to provide great recommendations. Renee and Robin explained the home buying process and answered my questions throughout. Although I ended up going through a new construction home process they explained how that would work and went to builder meetings, design center appointments and were there for me along the way. My new home is beautiful and I am so excited about it."
