Hilary Long

I reached out to Hilary to sell my beloved Kirkland penthouse in early April. As my primary residence is in San Diego, it was really important to me that I could find an experienced, trustworthy and detail-oriented agent that could make the sale happen quickly, at a good price, and without a lot of oversight on my part. Hilary did all that and more. She immediately put together a marketing strategy for our place, brought in stagers and cleaners, took amazing videos and pictures, and kicked off the listing with an open house. We received a full price offer within 36 hours. Since then, Hilary has done a fantastic job getting inspection items done and driving all open issues to close. I've bought and sold 8 properties over the years. This was by far the smoothest. Hilary is simply the best - smart, organized, professional, great communicator, and understands the area and industry. My highest recommendation. - Michael Nappi

Hilary is more than a realtor. She is a force of nature. She found us the condo of our dreams in a week in a market that offered little during the winter doldrums and at the right price! Not content with that stellar performance she found and managed contractors for us while we were still out of state selling a house and packing up. Every contractor she recommended turned out to be excellent. And she found us the realtors in our home state that sold our house in twenty four hours with a cash offer above asking and two weeks escrow. Calls from this consummate professional buoyed us up and helped us through a stressful time. We could not have imagined a better partner in finding our new home. Thank you, Hilary,

Hilary was terrific in every aspect of our sales process, from the initial walk-through, to looking at comparables and deciding on a price, to staging and then sequencing the on-sale date and opens, to presenting us with more than a handful of great offers. The house we purchased (well away from Seattle) likely would have gotten a higher offer from us if the seller's agent had anything approaching Hilary's competence and attention to detail. Hilary understands the market and has a high level of professional competence; moreover, she listened and asked probing questions to make sure she understood our wishes. She kept us apprised every step of the way on the sale - and she was supportive during our difficult purchase process, too! I almost never leave 5-star reviews on Amazon (I guess I believe the old saying "there are no 10's"), but I gladly give Hilary the maximum and an enthusiastic all-thumbs-up.

We were looking for a vacation home and went to Hilary for assistance. She pointed us in the direction of Hood Canal. Hilary showed us several properties and once we found the house we wanted to purchase Hilary gave us the advice needed to outbid other buyers. We had a rather agressive timeline to close on the property and Hilary made herself available every step of the way. The entire process went smooth and we were able to close on schedule. I would highly reccomend Hilary to anyone buying or selling a home. She is a true professional.

I was referred to Hilary by a coworker and found working with her to be an amazing process. I plan to contact her again when I am in the market for future investment property or any other real estate transaction in the Puget Sound area. We had an excellent dialog at the start about what traits, locations, and features were of differing priorities for me, and Hilary quick caught on to the type of home I was searching for. After culling down a list of potential homes to visit in person whereupon she quickly adapted to the feedback given by myself and my significant other. When we found a home I was interested in putting an offer on she gave excellent advice on the market situation and how to make the offer as strong as possible. She also worked with me through the process and dealt with changing circumstances like accelerating the close date and helping find appropriate contractors for inspection-revealed issues so that I could have everything scheduled and ready to go as I moved into the home. I was really impressed by her follow through, as I received the same level of attention even after we were under contract and she could easily have prioritized other clients and did not.

I found Hilary to be an outstanding agent. She had an aptitude for discovering our needs and was able to prioritize our interests to locate properties that suited us in a very difficult market. She goes to a lot of trouble to find out about the little things that matter. We've had many real estate experiences over the past 25 years and I'd have to say that Hilary was by far the best we've had.
