Cindy Hillery

Delivering Unrivaled Service & Extraordinary Results in Lake Tahoe

What do Clients Say?

Cindy is the best. She is the most thorough, detail oriented and strategic real estate professional I have ever had the pleasure to work with. This is the second property that we have purchased with Cindy's help in the Lake Tahoe region. Cindy does an excellent job in communicating with all parties. She has great relationships with title and inspection companies as well as a thorough network of contractors and other services professionals. I highly recommend Cindy and expect to use her again

Kevin & Michelle Foster

I was very happy with Cindy. She really went above and beyond what is expected of an agent. She even arranged to have contractors on to make repairs, and set aside items we wanted to keep after the sale. She was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the sale process. Her help during the negotiating process was invaluable. I would highly recommend her. The entire process was very smooth seamless. Here response time to every inquiry was immediate. I would not hesitate to use Cindy's services again at any time

Tom Hutchinson

My husband and I have bought and sold a lot of properties and we agree Cindy is the best agent we have ever worked with. Because of her strategy we didn't get into a bidding war on a vacation home we felt was an excellent value for the price. We were very impressed with her follow up, including her prompt answers to our questions. Her network of tradesmen in the Tahoe area has been invaluable. She has called us after the closing to make sure all is well with our new vacation home. She is very honest, dedicated to her clients, a hard worker (definitely not on "Tahoe Time")-- and a very nice, genuine person to boot. We recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in the Tahoe area.

Tom & Michelle Bruen

My husband and I were on the East Coast. Cindy Hillery made the entire process so easy. We were concerned that it would be difficult because we were so far away. Cindy handled everything with total professionalism including locating the people we needed to prepare the house for sale and settlement. I have bought and sold many houses, and this was the easiest sale and settlement we have had. It’s all thanks to Cindy. It is with pleasure that I recommend Cindy as the best real estate agent I have worked with both on the East Coast and the West Coast.

Roy & Jane Mathers

My wife and I had the pleasure of having Cindy as our buyers agent and 3 years later as our sellers agent on our Tahoe City home. She helped us through a very complicated buying process due to unstable market conditions and pending special assessments. She analyzed the numbers to help us decide that it was a sound investment. And it was. We sold 3 years later(2015). Cindy was thoughtful and strategic in listing our house. We had an offer above asking price after only 9 days on the market!

About Cindy

It takes a special person to be an excellent agent. Word on the street? Cindy ranks among the best. Recognized by clients and colleagues alike for routinely going above and beyond, Cindy’s passion for helping people put down roots is evident in every transaction she deftly handles. Imbued with a deep connection to her home state, the native Angelino moved north during her formative years, earning a BA from UC Berkeley and PhD from the University of Chicago before pursuing postdoctoral work at UCLA. A lifelong learner with an insatiable appetite for growth, she returned to Northern California, taking the helm as VP of Marketing at several start-ups before pivoting into the real estate realm.

 Nowadays, you’ll find Cindy overseeing an expansive stretch of Northern California – from Folsom through Granite Bay, Roseville, Rocklin and up to Auburn. Bolstered by over a decade of experience and equipped with unmatched market knowledge, she has a strong grasp of the Bay Area’s high-stress market and works diligently to ensure each transaction goes as smooth as humanly possible. Equal parts strategic, thorough, and detail oriented, she’s the ultimate ally, renowned for being available every step of the way. But most noteworthy, perhaps, is Cindy’s fantastic gift for listening to clients and crystalizing their unique criteria. Once she identifies a client’s distinct real estate goals, she leaves no stone unturned. As one client recently shared, “You can’t go wrong working with Cindy.”

 Based in Granite Bay, the former Lake Tahoe denizen is a go-to for referrals, routinely tapped for her intimate knowledge of the surrounding area. Drawn to the tranquility of the Sierra foothills, Cindy and her husband swapped the Bay Area’s buzzing energy for wide-open spaces in 2001 and have adored every hike since. Most at home gardening in her backyard oasis, the novice wine collector is beholden to her hubby’s harebrained schemes. The latest four-wheel adventure includes a souped-up “overlander.” Needless to say, there’s off-road exploration in her future. Just like in her real estate career, Cindy excels at tackling unknown territory.
