I love what I do - it's in my blood :) I have consistently been a top producer since the moment I stepped into real estate. I am in the TOP 50 Brokers here locally & TOP 4% of RE/MAX nationally. Just recently I also voted Best Realtor in Wake County by Indy Week readers. It is exciting to think little old me started this career full time at the age of 22 (I've actually been licensed since 1999!!!) & now to see what years of hard work has become! I've had the pleasure of being in Entrepreneur Magazine, a big TV debut on HGTV, Mom's Choice Award for " Best Real Estate Agent in the Triangle" TWO years in a row and more! I have lived in this area for almost 24 years - went to middle & high school in Apex, college at NC State (GO PACK!) where I graduated in 2000 with a degree in Business Management. I bought my first house in Apex, remodeled my next house in Cary, and have been a resident of Raleigh for a little over 9 years! Long and short, I know this area inside & out. And it doesn't just stop at homes " I love all the venues our area has to offer from museums to greenway systems to an excellent food scene. It isn't uncommon to find my family out and about locally trying something new. My husband & I welcomed our first in the summer of 2015 and we are experiencing exciting new things every day! Although I like to think of myself as Superwoman, I can't do this all by myself! I do promise you that each client gets the individualized attention they deserve. Hillman Real Estate Group has a boutique type philosophy " we work hard to create an experience that is memorable for YOU. After all, this is your largest investment and needs to be handled accordingly. We take the time to interview each client & understand your desires and needs.

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 were excellent, they know what to watch out for, what works and does not, and what to worry about (and not!). Jonathan kept me sane through some things that I thought wer every stressful and he knew better! ;) Super kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented.
