About Hilary Dunlavey

Licensed in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Hilary has successfully built her business by fostering and maintaining relationships through communication, dedication, and transparency. Her passion for both real estate and service excellence is unparalleled. She is your trusted adviser, exceptional negotiator, savvy home-stager, skilled house-hunter, and neighborhood expert. Not only has she been specially trained as a Pricing Strategy Advisor and Senior Real Estate Specialist, but Hilary has also earned The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing's Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist(TM) (CLHMS(TM)) designation in recognition of experience, knowledge, and expertise in high-end residential properties with proven performance in the upper-tier market. The specialized training and ongoing membership with The Institute provide Hilary with the knowledge and tools to better serve her clients. The CLHMS(TM) designation provides evidence of the successful commitment to service at the highest level. Hilary's hospitality background contributes to her reputation as a high-touch realtor known for her extensive market knowledge, and unmatched devotion to her clients' satisfaction, and her success is based almost exclusively on positive referrals. Together with the tech-driven innovation of Compass, and her reputable referral network of lenders, contractors, and home improvement resources, Hilary offers you a full-service package from start to finish. Born and raised in Bromont, Quebec, Canada, Hilary attended LaSalle College in Montreal, where she graduated with a degree in hospitality and began her long-standing career in the industry. From there, she moved to Toronto to start working for a luxury global hotel company. In 2003, she accepted a position as a sales executive and transferred to a prominent resort in Southern California. It was during a business trip to Boston in 2005, that Hilary realized Massachusetts was where she was meant to call home. Hilary officially became an American citizen in 2018 and proudly holds dual citizenship. Today, she resides in Reading, MA, with her fiancee, Bill. In their free time, she and Bill can be found relaxing with their pug, Gus, in Newport, RI, cooking, playing golf or tennis, and tackling one of her many home improvement jobs. Spending almost 20 years living and working in Greater Boston has given Hilary her own unique and intimate knowledge of the area that she will use to help guide you home. Some neighborhoods in her real estate portfolio include South Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Stoneham, Swampscott, Wakefield, Winthrop, Reading, Upton, Holliston, Framingham, Quincy, Weymouth, Acton, Hingham, Woburn, Peabody, Middleton, Revere, Dedham, Saugus, West Roxbury and more. Whether you want to sell in the city and buy in the burbs, are in need of more space, are a first-time home buyer, an empty-nester, or anywhere in between, Hilary will work diligently throughout your journey, guaranteeing your stress levels remain at a minimum.

We met Hilary at an open house and were so impressed with her knowledge of the home she had listed and potential improvement opportunities (and mention of tradespeople she could recommend to do the work!) that we contacted her to help us buy our first home. It was a great experience! She's very responsive, communicative, and helped us by answering questions and with suggestions at every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend working with her to anyone!

Look no further! Hilary is the best around! There's no one more competitive, knowledgeable, or professional when it comes to purchasing your ideal home. Hilary worked with us for over a year, accompanying us to dozens of open houses, until we finally found the perfect fit. She worked with us to craft the best possible offer, and our sellers accepted it even before their deadline! She never once pushed us in any direction we were uncomfortable with and was patient with us when we continuously changed the parameters of what we were looking for, and where we were looking. You cannot go wrong if you work with Hilary. In fact, we almost didn't go see the house we ended up with - and she insisted that we really should go see this house, it seems to check off all our boxes - and wow, she was 100% right. She listened to our needs, was readily available whenever we had questions, gave us honest opinions and advice, and ultimately helped us find our dream home!

SIMPLY THE BEST! Hilary represents all of the qualities you look for in a realtor and business partner. Her communication throughout the process is immediate and honest while also providing the research and data that supports the decision making process. Hilary's upbeat and positive attitude allows her to deal with any obstacle thrown her way... always striving to help you achieve your goal. Whether scheduling home visits a week out or calling the morning of a new listing asking to get a private viewing, Hilary's flexibility to meet your requests are met with the same level of energy that you bring... keeping the home buying process optimistic and focused on finding "the right home for you." Hilary has been a wonderful partner because of her work ethic and industry knowledge plus her established network of inspectors, contractors, and real estate colleagues that can answer all questions and any concerns that you may have. If your realtor doesn't match the description above, then you need to call Hilary Dunlavey.

We worked with Hilary on the sale of two properties simultaneously. One being a multi-family and the other being a single family home. She was helpful and patient with us throughout the decision making process that ultimately resulted in us moving to North Carolina. Both of our homes hit the market well and sold even better, making our big move much less stressful. Many thanks to Hilary!
