Hillary Gaynor

I grew up in Centerbrook, CT so I am a New England girl at heart. I moved out to Washington State to attend college and received my degree in psychology. While in Washington, I developed a deep passion for the outdoors including golfing, biking, hiking, kayaking, and skiing. I even climbed Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier. I moved to New Hampshire in 2002 to attend UNH in which I received my master’s degree as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I worked as a therapist for a while at a state agency. I eventually decided to make an important life change and pursue my interest in real estate. I was interested in real estate investing and this led me to get my real estate license. It felt like the perfect balance of being able to still focus on helping others and my other passion of real estate. My husband, Jamie, is a geologist and works for an environmental company. We have two daughters and currently live in Stratham, NH.

Hillary decided to become a Realtor because she has a genuine passion and excitement for real estate and for helping people. With Hillary’s general personality and her background of being a therapist she is really able to assist you through your real estate transaction, which can be a stressful and complicated process, but also enjoyable. One of her greatest assets is her ability to listen. Hillary will listen to your needs and concerns and will work with you to achieve your goal. Hillary has exceptional communication skills, which can also help in the negotiation process. It is important to Hillary to build relationships with trust and respect, not only with her clients but also with other people that she works with. Hillary understands and will be part of the entire real estate transaction and be present to your needs, so that you have less anxiety and get the most from the process, a successful deal! Whether you are selling, purchasing, or investing; with Hillary’s experience and knowledge of real estate and market conditions and her overall enjoyment for real estate and working with people, she can and will provide you with great real estate deals again and again!
