Local RE/MAX Agent Named Among “America’s Best”

Renée Hillman Earned Ranking for 2015 Home Sales

Raleigh, NC – Renée Hillman, team leader of Hillman Real Estate Group, with RE/MAX One Realty is among the top RE/MAX agents and teams featured in the 2016 REAL Trends “America’s Best Real Estate Agents” survey. The agents included in the survey represent less than one percent of all real estate professionals in the United States.

“Our boutique-style real estate, that creates proven results for our clients, is the reason we receive repeat business time and again and generate such positive referrals from clients and our industry partners,” notes Hillman. “I’m incredibly proud of being recognized among so many hard-working professionals in this business.”

“America’s Best” is the industry’s largest ranking of agents based on homes sold in 2015. The survey is open to individual agents who closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume and teams who had at least 75 sides or $30 million in volume. The fourth annual ranking groups agents by state and metro area. Both individual agents and teams are recognized for their number of transaction sides and/or sales volume.

Hillman has more than 16 years of experience in the Triangle market. This is the first year Hillman has been recognized among “America’s Best.”

RE/MAX agents accounted for 22 percent of the more than 12,000 participating agents who qualified for the survey. This year, RE/MAX had more agents named in the survey than any other brand.

“The Institute has one of the highest standards for the definition of ‘luxury’ within the residential real estate market.

“I am committed to providing tailored service while delivering exceptional results. We do this by thinking outside of the typical stereotypes of real estate & try to come up with smarter ways to sell homes” said Hillman. “Taking this class allowed me to explore what other markets are doing and take away some creative ideas for marketing niche-type homes. We create a lifestyle profile to make sure that we are targeting the right audiences.”

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.
