ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was amazing! She worked with us to purchase our first home, from driving to properties, doing video calls, and keeping in touch along he way with what could have been a very stressful time, as we were still in Nevada. she has a great personality, very easy to talk to, but most of all, an excellent realtor. Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli is everything you want in a realtor. She is friendly, professional, experienced and responsive. Whenever we had questions or were in need of something, she was right there with the information. We were treated as if we were her only clients, and of course, we were not. Due to her postings, we had a large number of viewings and our house sold very quickly. We couldnt have had a better experience or outcome.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are glad we asked Kelli Hillmar to sell our house. She provided trustworthy advice on all matters, consistently provided prompt updates, and responded immediately and sensitively to our questions. To help us decide the asking price, Kelli consulted with several other professionals before advising us on a number that, combined with her superior photos and online tour, immediately generated abundant interest and dozens of serious potential buyers. Those who decided to "think about it overnight" lost out to a bid that came in the second day and that exceeded our asking price.Kelli Hillmar is a very nice person and you will have an enjoyable and successful experience with her.

ZillowVERIFIEDIn the difficult situation of having to buy remotely (an ocean away!) in a very tough market, working with Kelli made the entire process so much easier. She had no issues with showing us homes virtually and easily handled the challenges of working with clients remotely. We didn't physically meet her until the day before closing but she was so easy to work with that this posed no problems whatsoever during the process. She knows the area well and gave us excellent advice. She is realistic and practical about what to expect, and we felt well-informed at every step of the process. Even with the 6hr time zone difference, she always responded quickly to our questions and requests. We were pleasantly surprised to have our second offer on a home accepted. I don't think it would have happened without Kelli's guidance since there were 13 other offers. I highly recommend Kelli!

ZillowVERIFIEDDuring our initial phase of touring open houses, we came across realtors who aggressively marketed themselves to represent you. We even met with a company who had signage in our prospective area, but felt like we were settling with an agent who wasnt the right fit.We were introduced to Kelli after we toured an open house listed by her colleague Kevin Lee. We were so thankful we were introduced to Kelli! Kellis patience and guidance were instrumental in this incredibly challenging market as first-time homebuyers. It was an emotional rollercoaster at times competing with contingency waivers and bidding wars, but we all stuck together. Kelli is very good at what she does: shows you what to look for as you tour each property, with future resale in mind, and is respected among her network of realtor and real estate transaction colleagues. When she was out of town her colleagues (Kevin Lee and Barb Seely) stepped in for showings. What a strong team! Kelli really wants to find the right home for you, not just a property you settle for and to make a sale. Kelli truly advocated for us with this home; she knew we had a solid offer. Its in the location we wanted and in a great community. We learned so much from her! Thank you Kelli!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was fantastic. She actually helped me sell the house twice - the first time, they discovered mold in the basement. She worked with me through multiple remediation attempts, recommended testers and remediation specialists, and hung in there like a champ. At the end, the house was cleaner than new! The second buyers loved it, and I loved working with Kelli.

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was amazing! As a first time home buyer, Kelli was extremely patient with me and answered all my questions. She took me to tons of showings and pointed out both the positives and the flaws of all the properties. She made me feel confident in the process and I'm so glad I got to work with her!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli found me a decent house during the pandemic for my first time buying and I didn't have the funds to compete with everyone who was slinging cash around to outbid competitors. That's a pretty high bar. She stuck with me through months of duds, and missed opportunities because of my financial situation. We never had a scheduling conflict, and the people she recommended for other services worked hard and integrated seamlessly into the buying experience. If you got this far reading the review stop overthinking things and just call her. You have enough to worry about, this is an easy decision.

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli is just fantastic. She helped with the sale of my parents' house. She made what could have been stressful and emotional actually fun and effortless. Any issues that arose (because of outside factors), she took care of with promptness and tenacity. Because of her impeccable knowledge of the real estate market, we had 17 offers within 4 days! Her demeanor throughout was warm, professional and calm. I can't speak highly enough of how lucky we feel that we found Kelli and we will continue to work with her for any future real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli is wonderful! Being a first time homebuyer in this crazy market was a little intimidating, but Kelli was excellent in guiding us through the process and helping us be competitive.

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli helped us through our first home purchase in a very competitive market. She was able to book showings for the first day properties hit the market and that was necessary for the house we bought! She was very quick to respond and handle offer submissions. In a multiple offer situation, she helped us craft a competitive offer that gave the seller what they wanted while protecting us. Her references for lenders, home inspections, and other services have all been outstanding! Could not ask for a smoother process or a better realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli has done an amazing job helping me find my first home. I had a small window of time to find a home, and she was flexible and responsive. Shed always be upfront about things that I needed to be aware of and did a great job negotiating with the seller on my behalf! I couldve asked for a better agent!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe cant believe how expedient Kelli made the process! This was a big step for us and she really guided us along the whole way and really made everything so understandable. Kelli also had great contacts for all the needs and services surrounding home buying so we didnt feel like we had to run around to get paper work and inspections done. Weve been so fortunate to have her expertise in finding such a great home for our needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Kelli for both buying and selling. I wrote a review after working with her for buying so I wont cover that here, other than to say that as fantastic and smooth of an experience as she made that, the experience that we are having with her now selling our house has been highly professional, and even enjoyable. From the start, she focused on getting the best value for our house, and she had many very helpful suggestions on what we could do to make our house even more marketable and attractive. As a result of her efforts, our house was under contract in less than 5 days (with several offers after less than 3 days). Even with some aEURoebumps in the roadaEUR? (from external factors having nothing to do with her), she kept ahead of the process changes and we are looking at closing in only a couple days! Her professionalism combined with her track record of aEURoekeeping the customer firstaEUR? is what has continually made us confident to recommend Kellis services to any buyer or seller. Thanks for you outstanding commitment to your clients, Kelli!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli has been amazing! She is so easy to work with and very accommodating. We dragged her all over Maryland looking for a house. We made a couple attempts at purchasing a new home and even had one in escrow but didnt close due to terrible inspection reports and dishonest sellers and Kelli was right there with us every step of the way, very understanding. Very supportive and encouraging. She made sure everything was taken care of and kept us informed of all developments. Never made us feel rushed or that she was too busy for her -though we knew she was extremely busy, she made us feel like her only clients. She is an absolute professional! We decided to take a brake from house hunting and Kelli was very gracious about that decision but we hope to call her soon to ask her to sell our current home. We appreciate Kelli more than we can say here.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I have bought and sold a home with the help of Kelli, and she has been great to work with on both sides. Her focus on the needs of the customer, as well as her fair and reasonable approach make it easy to meet your requirements and standards of sale/purchase. She is knowledgeable in the industry and has the resources and tools to be trusted with getting the job done. We are thankful and appreciative of her efforts and help along the way. We highly recommend Kelli to buyers and sellers.

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was recommended to me by a mutual friend, and I am so pleased with that recommendation! Kelli was always quick to respond to my emails and texts. She walked me through all the steps involved in selling a house in a thorough, understandable but concise manner. She was very knowledgeable about all the changes being put in place for safety during this aEURoeCovid aEURoe timeframe, and was respectful of concerns I had related to trying to move, etc during this uneasy time. She was very encouraging, enjoyable and easy to work with! I appreciated her knowledge of Howard County regulations.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I are repeat customers of Kelli Hillmar! We recently purchased a single-family home with her help, after growing out of our townhome that she helped us purchase a few year ago. We have had such great home buying experiences with Kelli. After many months of looking, Kelli was able to help us find a home that had everything we needed and in the location we wanted to be. We are so thankful for Kellis patience, honesty and support through the process from start to finish. She is extremely knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to work with. She approaches every step of the process ethically, professionally, and was focused on helping us find exactly what we needed and wanted in a home for our family. We highly recommend Kelli, as she is someone that you can trust and rely upon through the entire process to meet your home-buying needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDI loved Kelli!! She helped me sell my previous home and buy my existing home. She is professional yet very personable to work with. She works hard, is knowledgable, very responsive to questions, she cares about her clients needs and desires in buying and selling a home. She made every step of the way easy, she was informative yet gave me the freedom to make my own decisions. I would recommended her to anyone looking for a realtor. In the future I would use her again and again.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were searching for a place for my in-laws and Kelli was amazing to work with!! She set up an automated search and we found out right away when our property came on the market. She moved quickly and was able to get us under contract in a very competitive neighborhood. She knows the process, and was very patient with my in-laws. I would recommend her.

Through the entire process (upwards of 3 years for me) she explained so many things, was flexible and accommodating, and made me feel at ease. I am truly grateful that Kelli was my realtor because she made my first time home purchase the least painful and more wonderful life event. I was never stressed or confused at any point. When its time to buy my next home Ill definitely be calling Kelli!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli is more than an first rate realtor, she is a first rate person! My situation called for me to get my townhouse on the market and sold as quickly as possible, and for most of the process I had already moved out of state. Kelli really came through for me. She not only provided expert advice and guidance, which resulted in my townhouse being on the market only three days, she went above and beyond facilitating many activities when I couldn't be there. Kelli truly cares about people, especially her clients. I needed a realtor that I could rely on and put all of my trust in...and I got that with Kelli. She listened to me, explained things, and on more than one occasion, was a calming presence during a very stressful time. You'd be hard pressed to find a better realtor. Thanks, Kelli!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli is an outstanding professional realtor based in Columbia, MD. She is well rounded in the entire Baltimore-Washington Metro area market. Kelli dedicated all the time necessary and helped us find the ideal property that suited our unique needs. Her extensive knowledge of the local market, the home buying process and her genuine concern for finding a property that checked as many of our boxes as possible made the process a lot easier than expected and results that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Kelli Hillmar, she's awsome!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli did an exemplary job of selling our single family detached house. Great ideas for staging the house. Helped us set the price. Got us 3 simultaneous offers, from which we were able to pick the best offer. Finally, Kelli was able to keep the buyer agent and the mortgage broker on track so that the sale could close. In summary Kelli did a great job!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have never had a perfectly rounded experience with any realtor in our lives until Kelli. She was incredible in her attentiveness and connecting to us on personal and professional levels. Although we were looking for a house rental, and knowing the commissions would be far less than a sale, she treated us none the different. She reminded us of the wonderful realtors on HGTV who are knowledgeable, personable, and approachable among many other awesome attributes! We cannot wait to work with her again!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was especially helpful in my situation. I had lost my husband 7 months before and needed to move near my son. Not only did I leave a home of 53 years, but I moved to another state. The quick sale meant fast packing. She remained steadfast in pursuit of an old, fully paid mortgage that the county did not have record of. Kelli definitely puts herself in the position of the seller. Working with her was a great overall experience and I would definitely recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I were debating between moving to Maryland or Virginia on my upcoming move to the area. We decided to look at Maryland and were assigned Kelli as our real estate agent. When we got assigned Kelli, she was FANTASTIC to work with. She was very responsive, answered all of our questions, and worked very well with my wife and I. She and my wife went to nine houses in one day, and she was very quick to tell us if the house was worth looking into, if the price was set to high, etc. She had such a local knowledge of the area we were looking into, it was a great relief to my wife and I. Ultimately, we decided to look in Virginia, but it had NOTHING to do with Kelli. She was absolutely tremendous and would have worked with Kelli in Virginia if she was licensed there. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Kelli if you are looking for property in Maryland. She was great and we were sad we couldn't work with her while shopping in Virginia.

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was a pleasure to work with from the beginning of search through closing. She was poised, professional, and perseverant (when the sellers agent was not)! She made great suggestions for us during negotiations and continues to be a good resource for tradesmen / repairs and maintenance. We recommend her without hesitation or reservation!!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy fiancA(C) and I have official lived in our new home for one month and we couldn't be happier. The past few months were the longest and shortest of our lives. We were so grateful for the level of support, education, and guidance from Kelli as first-time homebuyers. The process was overwhelming at times but I was reassured and put at ease by Kelli every step of the way. We sent her an email and within days we found the house we wanted to buy. This was made possible because of her prompt responses and complete willingness to meet us whenever, wherever. She even said one night, "Id hate for you to miss out on that sweet little house!aEUR? after she spent all day at a conference in DC and drove to Towson for us to see the house we ultimately fell in love with and now own :) If I could give her 10 stars I would. Kelli has earned the recognition and awards in this field because of the personal dedication she puts in to stay on top of the information needed in real estate through continuing education and training, research, and asking questions. As a buyer, she had our best interests at heart which showed through everything she did.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur experience working with Kelli was outstanding for both finding a rental and purchasing a home. When we had to move our family from New Jersey to Maryland for a job relocation, we were connected with Kelli, and from the beginning we felt that she was someone truly motivated by a desire to find a home that was best suited for our family. Because we had to relocate quickly, we needed someone that could find us a rental property in a timely manner, and a one that would be best for our needs. Upon reaching out to us, she analyzed our requirements and desires, and gave us appropriate guidance since we were new to the area. After enjoying the location of our rental, when it came time to purchase a home, there was no doubt that we would rely on Kelli to help. Her customer service and true desire to help people find the appropriate home came through from the beginning of our relationship. Kelli is an individual that is honest, ethical, assertive and trustworthy. We did not have any doubts that she was motivated by anything other than, helping us find a happy home. She was in our corner through every step, and also connected us with reliable and trustworthy connections through the inspection, appraisal, mortgage and closing process. Relocating to a new state is hard, especially with small children in tow. We feel very fortunate to have been connected with Kelli, and would trust her services to our friends and family. She made us feel confident about the process and served as a guide and advocate for us from the first phone call.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur experience working with Kelly to find a rental in Columbia was phenomenal! She is extremely detail-oriented, responsive, patient, and personable. She knows the area extremely well and helped us determine what we wanted and what we didn't. We always felt that Kelli had our best interest in mind. We will definitely be contacting Kelli again when we are ready to buy, and we will definitely be recommending her to friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was INCREDIBLE! She helped us BUY AND SELL within just weeks of each other. We were nervous about the process but, things could not have gone more smoothly. She gave us advice and even helped us stage our house and prepare for Open Houses! Our house was SOLD (with multiple offers) after only 1 weekend of Open Houses! She also helped us negotiate a fair price on our NEW house. We needed some encouragement and advice and she was like a wise family member offering advice! She responded to our MANY questions and concerns via calls, texts and emails! She always responded quickly! We could not be more grateful for her help in this process! Thanks Kelli!!!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli is awesome! She helped me find a townhouse that "checked all of my boxes", which I honestly thought would be impossible. I knew almost nothing about buying a house, and she guided me through the entire process. She was patient, personable, attentive, and a cheerleader when I needed one. She took the time to get to know me and my preferences; she truly does put the customer first. Her knowledge and advice were invaluable. I had a small window of opportunity to find something, and Kelli adjusted her busy schedule to fit me in as much as possible. I'm confident I wouldn't be where I am right now without her. Thank you, Kelli!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli is an All Star. She was amazing in her ability to manage the sale of our home despite the challenges associated with our difficult divorce. She showed compassion for both of us and often served the role of mediator. Her insights were spot on with regard to staging the interior, taking pictures, and listing the home at the right price. And she even went above and beyond the call of duty by helping my ex pack boxes on the final day. She never wavered in her commitment to honesty and integrity and for that alone, She more than earned her commission and I will definitely use her services for my next home.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhat a blessing! This agent helped us sell and buy a house and was delightful to work with. What impressed me the most was that she was not "pushy" but rather worked with us and for us, in what we wanted. She offered suggestions but let us work on our own timetables! She handled everything for us so effectively and efficiently in a a time when we were not able to take on one more thing. She also went to bat on our behalf with the specifics of the sale, getting us everything we deserved according to the conditions of contract. Because of her work in our recent buying of a home, I was able to see the "other agent" and how he handled things and realized we had the jewel of the crown and that not everyone operates as ethically and professionally in the field as Kelli does! I highly recommend her as an agent! You won't be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIEDKelli was great to work with. Very pleasant, personable, professional ... and patient! We were rather picky about the type of investment property we were looking for, but she worked hard to help us find some viable properties. She was very accommodating and gave freely of her time for many months. She had some great recommendations and very valuable insight throughout the entire process. We were very happy with the experience and will absolutely reach out to her next time we are in the market. We highly recommend Kelli!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe just recently closed on our first house. I didnt really know what to expect before we dove in the looking at our options. To be honest, it became a bit overwhelming for me after the first several houses, but Kelli was right there with us 100% of the time. Throughout the process there were times when we had to hold off on looking because of external aEURoelifeaEUR? factors. Not once did she ever hint that we were taking too long or needing to make decisions faster. In fact, frequently she would make very informed comments that would give us pause to really think hard about some options. There were times when we requested last minute showings, and she was always very happy to work things out as much as possible. She is also extremely knowledgeable in the real estate business and is a fantastic facilitator to find the right house-to-owner match. She quite obviously loves her job and cares very much for her clients needs, and it definitely shows in the way she conducts herself, we would certainly recommend Kelli to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
