Hillary Olinger Newport, RI Real Estate Agent Headshot

Hillary Olinger

Raised in a family of real estate professionals in Dallas, Texas, Hillary Olinger was destined to bring her energy, creativity, and heart into helping people find their place to call home. After graduating Cum Laude from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design, she discovered her true calling in real estate—where her passion for people and her eye for design come together.
 
For over 25 years, Hillary has called Newport home, giving her clients the benefit of deep community roots and hyperlocal expertise. She is a Premier Zillow Agent, consistently praised for her responsiveness, integrity, and commitment to delivering a seamless experience. Whether guiding first-time buyers, helping families upsize, or advising second-home seekers drawn to Rhode Island’s coastal lifestyle, Hillary brings warmth, dedication, and market savvy to every relationship.
 
Her design background gives her clients an invaluable advantage. Hillary has a gift for staging homes to sell faster and for more money, and for helping buyers see potential others might miss. She loves the moment when clients light up because she helped them envision what’s possible.
 
Beyond real estate, Hillary is an active member of her community and volunteers regularly, living out her belief that home is about people just as much as property. When she’s not touring homes or creating staging transformations, you’ll find her enjoying Rhode Island’s shoreline with her family.
 
Hillary’s Promise: “I listen first, act with care, and fight for your goals like they’re my own. Buying or selling a home is personal—and I’m here to make the process as rewarding as the outcome.”

Clients that Found Their Perfect Match

Words from Happy Homeowners

From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, Hillary’s clients describe her as attentive, patient, and always one step ahead.

"Hillary Olinger helped me find the perfect house for my new project of fixing up a house. We spent over 6 months looking, and Hillary was professional, thorough, and honest about the drawbacks and benefits of each house. Her design degree helped me see possibilities for improvements. When I found the house I felt was right, Hillary was a fantastic negotiator and always very prompt in responding to my questions. She knew the rules, laws, and steps to take and be aware of when buying a house. Hillary has many resources through her own experience and knowledge to help the buyer, and when she doesn't know the answer, she doesn't hesitate to find it. She is also one of the nicest people I have met! I would highly recommend working with Hillary."

"Hillary Olinger is my go-to person for all things real estate since moving to Rhode Island three years ago. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she also has a keen sense of the clients' needs, including the intangible. I recommend Hilary without reservation."

"Hillary was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I were looking for a home in Newport, and Hillary was aware of a home that was being renovated but was not yet on the market. She arranged for us to see it early in the reno phase, and we knew it was the home for us. Seeing it well before it was available meant that Hillary needed to stay on top of the progress at the home and amend the contract a number of times, each time the closing date was delayed. Hillary stayed in regular communication with us and made sure we made the best "deal" possible. As a side, she was also a great support to us in selling our current home, something our selling agent did not do. There is no doubt that Hillary will be our realtor on any of our future real estate transactions. Thank you, Hillary!"

"Hilary was incredible throughout my entire house-buying and selling process. Not only did she help sell my house in less than 2 months for exactly what I was asking, but she also helped me get full-time renters into the house in less than 3 weeks the year before that. I can't imagine not using her if I ever have the opportunity again. I'd give 10 stars if it were an option."

"In early 2019, my siblings and I set out to find appropriate housing for our elderly Dad. Many of us had different ideas of what type of property (single-family ranch, condo, flat, etc) would best suit our Dad. Hillary was part realtor, part diplomat, a thorough listener, and immensely professional, doing yeoman's work in keeping us all on the same page. Not only did Hillary find a beautiful 2-bed, 2.5 bath condo in an elevatored building, she negotiated a price that turned out to be five figures below the bank's appraised value. Although none of us had previously worked with Hillary, we now swear by her. Hillary has since assisted our family, and anyone else who would listen, on numerous transactions. Most importantly, we know our Dad feels great about his home; in fact, from time to time, he smiles and asks, "How is that nice realtor lady?"

"Hillary couldn't have been more accommodating and devoted to helping my Fiancée and me find land. It is made evident by her knowledge and composure that she is a highly experienced realtor with a strong mindset for securing the perfect listing. Knowing that we were searching for a lot that would be conducive to a long-term commitment, Hillary always had our best interest in mind and focused on making our values a priority. We couldn't have met a more reliable, trustworthy, and professional realtor to secure a lot that will start the next chapter of our lives."
