Hilary Stokes Reaves

Hilary is a total type A personality and loves the efficiency of living close to everything. Since 2005, she has been serving buyers and sellers in the Triangle and chose to specialize in walkable neighborhoods by launching Metro Digs in 2016. After a whirlwind of change and new tech in the industry, she discovered NextHome, a brand that shared a lot of the same values of consumer orientation and authenticity. Merging the (now) Metro Digs Group under the Next Home Triangle Properties franchise in 2024, Hilary and the team gained access even more resources to serve buyers and sellers in an ever-changing marketplace. 

Her real estate career has included successfully marketing several Downtown Raleigh projects including The Ten at South Person, Palladium Plaza, and Blount Street Commons. Having lived in Five Points, PNC Plaza tower downtown, the Village District, and the Ridge Rd area, she has walked her dogs, run on all the trails, and nerded out at various municipal meetings. She lives the life that she promotes, owning her primary residence and 2 rental properties in walkable neighborhoods.

Hilary is a North Carolina native and earned her Business degree from East Carolina University. She is married with twin boys. She and her husband purchased their first 100% electric vehicle in 2019.

Hilary was exceptionally professional and very well-versed, particularly in selling an older home. She was always responsive and communicated appropriately throughout the process never hesitating to answer our (many) questions. I would highly recommend her to help in the sale of your home. Anna H
Hilary helped my (now) husband purchase his first home that eventually become our first home. She then helped us again as we worked to transition to our next home, which we have now purchased and love. She was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable with our proposals and due diligence, and she made herself available on nights and weekends when we had important situations to discuss. Hilary also knows so many other contacts in the business for any other needs (lawyers, inspectors, contractors, plumbers, chimney, etc.). We will absolutely continue to work with Hilary wherever possible! - Molly
We had a very complicated closing with a buyer from out of the country. Hilary was able to navigate all the different requirements, followed up when the buyer's realtor did not, and kept us well-informed throughout the process. She is conscientious, diligent, and a tireless worker. We have used her several times and cannot recommend her highly enough.
If you are looking for a home, Hilary will help you find it. Her knowledge and commitment to provide all the information you need, as well as her high level of customer service is the best in the business.She also is the specialist you want to help you sell your home. I have bought and sold 5 homes in 4 states. The best experience I have had in both selling and buying was due to Hilary. She helped and lead me through the steps to make my experience as less stressful as possible. Do not go anywhere else! - Billy
Hilary helped us find a property in the Lake Johnson area--she was fabulous to work with--thorough, helped keep everything on track through closing, good referrals when we needed to go get things done--very knowledgeable on different living options through out the Raleigh area.  Metro Digs a great firm for a target market that is looking for good quality living options.  We will use her services again as I am sure our needs will change!!

I highly recommend working with Hilary. We have worked with her as both a buyer and seller. She knows her market, priced our house right, negotiated for us, and took us from listing to closing in under six weeks. Additionally, since I no longer live in the area, Hilary handled everything including hiring a handyman to make repairs. Best of all, she was always very responsive and helped me to understand each step of the process. With Hilary I knew I was in good hands. - Erin
Hilary helped us find a great downtown condo! We are recent empty nesters moving from a big old house and wanted a simpler, urban loft lifestyle. Hilary worked to understand our specific objectives (walkable, low maintenance, modern, outdoor space, etc.) then narrowed her search to likely "fits." There were almost no showings where we had no interest and were very picky! In one building in which we had particular interest, she researched and contacted absentee owners to seek their possible interest in selling. Her in-depth research on the building and HOA minutes and other communications helped us greatly in decision making. We would highly recommend Hilary for her extensive knowledge of the downtown and surrounding housing market and would list with her exclusively if we ever decide to sell. She is very responsive, works to fully understand buyer and seller needs and negotiates with patience and professionalism. - JW
We thoroughly enjoyed our association with Hilary during our house sale. She had knowledge of the contemporary market which is difficult to find in a traditional area like Raleigh. The photographs she took for our listing were very well done.We had some extenuating circumstances regarding showings and she always worked with us and the other agents to meet our needs. During negotiations (we had 3) she gave insightful input that helped in making our decision.
Hilary was an amazing buyer's agent. She took the time to understand our needs and to find a home that fit us perfectly. Hillary knows downtown properties inside out and gave us a great overview of the various neighborhoods there. We actually offered on two homes before we found the ultimate place. There were various issues on the seller side of both of the transactions that fell through, and Hilary handled them professionally and well. Hilary was essential to helping us with the negotiations on the home we bought and she went out of her way to make things run smoothly. Hilary was the absolutely best part of our buying experience.
Listing our home with a "full service" brokerage firm was a difficult decision for us, it seemed like a lot of money to pay for what I considered to be "just" putting the house on the MLS. I couldn't have been more wrong! Hilary earned every penny of her commission on our home. She gave us thoughtful advice on getting our house ready to list, was readily available when we had questions, helped us understand the market value of our home, and more. She was an invaluable in making the whole process as smooth as it could be. She is very knowlegable about Downtown Raleigh neighborhoods and marketed the house in a way that brought us multiple offers. If you are thinking of listing your home or looking to buy a home, talk to Hilary about your options. She is great at what she does. - MS
Hilary is wonderful. She helped us find the perfect condo in downtown Raleigh and made the purchase process smooth and enjoyable! She is also very connected and involved with the Raleigh area, which is a great asset for a buyer and a credit to her as a realtor!
Hilary is THE perfect real estate agent. She does her homework, knows the neighborhoods, what's going on in them, and goes the serious extra mile. With her marketing background, she knows how to make your house stand out. I cannot say enough about Hilary! I'm not moving any time soon, since she helped us find our perfect house, but when we do, we will definitely be calling her again. - BB
