Edward Hillyer, Team Leader, The Hillyer Team
Connecticut's Leader in Exceptional Property Sales.
Serving Stonington to Guilford.

With over 30 years of expertise in luxury real estate, Edward Hillyer leads a small, elite team delivering exceptional results for high-end property sellers. We target the luxury buyer through advanced AI marketing, deep ties in Fairfield County and New York City, and our exclusive ?Book of Buyers??a private network built over decades. Stunning videos, physical and virtual staging, 3D virtual reality, and custom coffee table books create unforgettable impressions.

Big teams often prioritize agent recruitment over client results, assigning listings to whoever?s next. We?re small by choice, ensuring expert attention, strategic marketing, and a refined, hands-on approach from start to finish.

Targeting the luxury buyer is at the heart of our strategy. Our success is amplified by our deep-rooted connections with New York and Fairfield County?two markets that produce over 75% of the luxury buyers in our area. We run tailored, targeted campaigns directly into these regions, leveraging relationships with top-producing agents and key influencers to ensure your property is positioned in front of the most qualified and motivated luxury buyers.

We also target the luxury buyer through a private, highly selective list of high-net-worth individuals developed over decades. We call this our book of Buyers. This curated list represents one of the most valuable assets in our marketing arsenal, providing exclusive access to a quiet yet highly capable pool of buyers with the financial power and discretion to purchase premier properties.

Our AI-powered marketing platform enhances our ability to target the online high-end buyer with unmatched precision. Using advanced digital tools and machine learning, we identify and reach qualified luxury buyers at the moment they?re most likely to act. This ensures your property is marketed not just widely, but intelligently?to the right audience at the right time. (Machine learning uses algorithms that analyze patterns in data. Based on those patterns, the system makes predictions, decisions, or recommendations, and improves as it gets more data.)

Getting your property market-ready is where our creative touch shines. We combine the best physical and virtual staging with our experienced marketing eye to accentuate every asset of your home. We offer a complimentary home staging consultation with one of the most elite and renowned professional home stagers in the business, which has resulted in over a million dollars added to the sale price in one of my more memorable sales, tied to a transformative staging effort.

Our property presentations are second to none. Working with one of the top cinematographers in the industry, we create stunning videos and high-resolution photography that captures your home?s essence.

Additionally, we create a true 3D virtual reality tour, a digital twin of your property, that allows buyers to explore your home as if they were walking through it. This immersive experience filters out casual interest while increasing showings to real buyers who have a genuine interest in your home. It?s an epic time-saver for sellers and a game-changer for reaching the right buyers, and remote or out-of-state buyers.

To leave a lasting mark, a high-quality custom hardcover coffee table book of your property?part portfolio, part art piece?is artisan-crafted to reflect the unique character of your home. Presented to the best buyers who come to see your home, it transforms a brief showing into a memorable experience, ensuring your home isn?t just seen?it?s unforgettable, especially when buyers are touring multiple properties.

From cutting-edge AI targeting to our personal, high-touch approach, The Hillyer Team blends modern technology with classic luxury service. It?s this rare combination of precision digital marketing, exclusive buyer access, and refined presentation that makes us a force the competition simply cannot match. Whether you?re selling a waterfront estate or a luxury retreat, we deliver the exposure, strategy, and results that elevate your sale from standard to exceptional. Unlike the impersonal approach of high-volume teams, our clients work with a close-knit group of experienced professionals who are fully invested in every listing, ensuring consistency, communication, and unmatched results from start to finish.

Testimonials

"I was referred to Ed Hillyer by one of my tennis partners who had recently sold his house through Ed. By being right on the beach, it needed a unique sales approach and Ed was the one realtor who had success selling waterfront properties. Ed told us that his sales record was selling homes within 60 days from listing. Ed sold our home in 64 days ? I thought that was good enough!"
