Hilary Marshall

Rhode Island Real Estate Advisor | Coastal & Lifestyle Market Specialist | Concierge-Style, Relationship-First Approach

I’m Hilary Marshall, a Rhode Island real estate advisor serving clients across all five counties through RE/MAX. My approach is simple — I focus on people first. Real estate is never just about buying or selling a property. It’s about helping you move through an important moment in your life with clarity, confidence, and the right support.

Rhode Island has been part of my life for a long time. I first started coming here in the early 2000s, attended Roger Williams University in Bristol, and later studied at RISD in Providence. Over the years, I’ve lived in four of Rhode Island’s five counties, which has given me a real, lived understanding of how different each part of the state feels and functions.

That matters here. Rhode Island may be small geographically, but it is incredibly nuanced. Each town has its own pace, personality, housing stock, and daily rhythm. My role is to help you understand those differences so you can make decisions that truly fit your life.

Experience That Goes Beyond the Transaction

I’ve been part of the RE/MAX network since 2018, and my background before real estate was in high-end fine art sales and interior design. That experience still shapes how I approach my work today — from how I evaluate homes to how I help clients think about value, presentation, and long-term fit.

I work with a wide range of clients and situations across Rhode Island, including:

Primary home buyers and sellers across the state
Coastal and lifestyle-driven properties
Historic homes and character properties
First-time buyers who want clarity and guidance
Military and relocation clients navigating major moves
Investors and long-term portfolio decisions
Second homes and seasonal properties

No matter the situation, my goal is the same — to help you feel informed, supported, and confident at every step.

A Concierge-Style, Relationship-First Philosophy

I’ve always believed that the way you do something matters just as much as the outcome. I don’t see clients as transactions — I see them as people I’m responsible for guiding well.

My approach is centered around communication, trust, and consistency. I stay closely involved, I explain things clearly, and I make sure you always understand what’s happening and why.

I don’t believe in pressure, and I don’t believe in rushing decisions that deserve thought. My role is to give you the information, perspective, and support you need so you can move forward with confidence.

Most of my business comes from referrals and repeat clients, and that’s something I take seriously. It means people feel taken care of, and that’s always the goal.

Recognition, Awards & Professional Designations

I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition within the RE/MAX network that reflects both production and consistency over time. I’m a RE/MAX Torchbearer for 2024 and 2025, a RE/MAX Hall of Fame member, and a Platinum Team Leader.

These recognitions matter to me not because of the titles, but because they represent trust from clients and consistency in how I show up for them.

I also hold several professional designations that support my work, including ABR, MRP, SFR, and PSA. These help me guide buyers, sellers, and more complex situations with clarity and structure.

Backed by RE/MAX and a Strong Network

I work within the RE/MAX network, which gives my clients access to a strong national and global system of experienced professionals. That becomes especially valuable for relocation, referrals, and situations where coordination across markets is needed.

I’m also connected with a wide network of local professionals — lenders, attorneys, inspectors, contractors — who help make the process smoother and more reliable from start to finish.

Real estate is rarely a solo process, and having the right people around you makes a meaningful difference.

Deep Rhode Island Roots & Community Connection

I’ve built my life and career here, and I care about the communities I serve. I’ve lived across most of the state and worked with clients in Newport County, Bristol County, Kent County, Washington County, and Providence County.

I’m also involved in professional networking through BNI, which reflects how I approach business — through relationships, collaboration, and long-term trust.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy yoga, golf, photography, hiking, music, and spending time outdoors. Those things influence how I think about lifestyle fit, because where you live should support how you actually want to live.

A Trusted Network Across Rhode Island & Beyond

Over time, I’ve built a strong referral network both locally and across the country. That allows me to support clients not just here in Rhode Island, but also when they’re moving into or out of the state.

Whether you need a trusted professional locally or in another market, I can help connect you with the right people so the process stays consistent and well-managed.

That continuity matters more than most people expect.
