I help busy families sell their starter home and simultaneously upgrade to their new haven

What do Clients Say?

★★★★★ As someone looking to upgrade from a condo to a single-family home, Hilary Dunlavey navigated me through the ins and outs of buying and selling my home. In this highly competitive market, she provides a hands-on concierge service that was immensely helpful. Her level of professionalism and knowledge allowed me to beat out 32 offers to purchase my dream home. Using lots of market research, Hilary pulled together an offer that positioned me as one of the seller's top 5 offers. Using her negotiation skills, she aligned with the seller's agent to position me as the winning offer. With an accepted offer, Hilary helped me to get my condo on the market quickly. She hosted several well attended open houses and was able to get me under agreement with a well above asking offer within days. Working closely with my mortgage broker, Hilary helped me line up the closing of my house and condo perfectly. I am eternally grateful for all of Hilary’s guidance and support for this double transaction. In this crazy real estate market, you need someone like Hilary Dunlavey in your corner and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy and sell real estate.” -Catherine

★★★★★ "I switched to Hilary after being frustrated with a buyer’s agent that wasn’t engaged in helping me through the process of buying my first home and I am glad I upgraded! Hilary took the time to answer all my questions and followed up with me every week even when she couldn’t attend open houses herself. She proactively came up with ideas to position me as a strong buyer in this tough market and helped me set realistic expectations to stay on track. She has a strong network and I was able to discuss questions with the potential lender and closing attorney early on in the process. After the offer was accepted, she continued to be a resource by giving me recommendations for contractors or other vendors for items that came up in the home inspection. I highly recommend her for anyone going through the home buying process!" -Caitlin C

★★★★★ "Hilary has a very proactive approach to getting the job done! I first received a call from Hilary as a result of my listing expiring with another agent. We met, discussed some critical changes and updates that needed to be done in order to get top dollar for my home and to ensure it sold quickly. Hilary then set out to make all the arrangements for the various vendors to perform the work in a timely fashion. Her professional approach to staging, pricing and marketing resulted in multiple offers and an over asking price in just one weekend! Hilary was extremely efficient and worked diligently to make my home sale a priority. All while remaining calm and very pleasant throughout the whole process. I knew she was the right choice to sell my home. I could not have been happier with her. I highly recommend calling Hilary whether selling or buying your next home!" - Charlie

★★★★★ "As an investor, it's important to have the right agent working alongside you to help make the best choices. Over the past year, I have utilized Hilary to assist with my rentals, help purchase my primary residence and most recently close on another investment property. This time it was a little trickier as it was a 1031 Exchange, as a result of selling another property from out of State and reinvesting the capital. Each and every time, she takes the time to walk me through the process, explain in detail the next steps and guide me every step of the way. I simply don't have the time it takes to micromanage, so knowing Hilary has my back and is doing the leg work behind the scenes takes a big load off of my mind. I trust her implicitly as I know she has my best interest at heart. Hilary has an entire team working with her (lender, closing attorney, home inspector, insurance broker) and they are amazing!!! I highly recommend Hilary for any of your real estate needs." - Derek
