As first-time homebuyers in Syracuse, NY, we couldn't have asked for a better guide and advocate than Jean Hill. From the very first conversation, Jean brought a rare mix of warmth, professionalism, and deep local knowledge that made us feel confident and supported throughout every step of the homebuying process.
Jean took the time to truly understand what we were looking for—not just in terms of bedrooms and square footage, but in lifestyle, neighborhood feel, and long-term goals. She was incredibly patient with all our questions (and there were many!), and she explained each step with clarity and care, never making us feel rushed or overwhelmed.
Her knowledge of the Syracuse market is unmatched. She was honest about the pros and cons of every property we viewed and advocated fiercely on our behalf during negotiations. We always felt she had our best interests at heart.
Thanks to Jean, we found a home that we love—and more than that, we had a positive, empowering experience as first-time buyers. We’re so grateful for her expertise, kindness, and steady guidance. We wholeheartedly recommend Jean Hill to anyone looking for a smart, trustworthy, and dedicated real estate professional.
Jean is extremely responsive on phone (text, voice) and email. She has a wealth of experience and a good eye for potential deal-breakers or issues to watch out for. I felt like she was looking out for my own best interests, as opposed to pressuring me into a bad fit. Definitely one of the most competent people I worked with in the process of buying a house. She was able to write up offer contracts extremely quickly (crucial given tight timeframes on bids), did a ton of behind-the-scenes work with the sellers' agent during closing, and was very flexible in scheduling tours and meetings. Highly recommend!!!
Jean worked with us on both ends in that she patiently took us to many listings as we searched for condos and allowed me/us to say what we felt about each one and then after listening to my reaction pointed out how certain features met or do not really meet some of our "must haves" or only partially met what we were looking.for.
When we did decide on our new condo Jean climbed ladders down into the basement (even ones that we were reluctant to traverse. She had us remember that we were committed to downsizing and helped provide info on how to do it.
Jean was very professional in thoroughly going through all the paperwork as we sat with her to select which of the 7 offers on our home were the best offers right up to the last dew minutes before the deadline.
Jean has been fantastic to work with. She really took the time to understand what I was looking for in a house and encouraged me to think about all aspects of a property before making an offer. I couldn’t imagine working with any other agent to find a home in Syracuse.
As first time home buyers in a unpredictable market with low inventory, we rely on Jean's expertise, experience, and infinite patience as we look for a house for three years. She responds to all of our questions and requests promptly, and offers the most helpful advice on what to look out for in a property. Thanks to Jean we now own our dream house.
Jean Hill was a terrific real estate agent, both as we bought a new home and sold our old one. She is very knowledgable about the process and the neighborhoods. She is kind and thoughtful as she helped us work through the various moments of this process. She checked in, she followed through, she made suggestions, she provided guidance.
Jean was very knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. She gave us great advice on every stage of getting ready to sell our house and then actually selling it. She went above and beyond once the house was under contract, too, which we really appreciate. She was also very personable and pleasant! Thanks, Jean!
Jean is an exceptional agent! She is very personable, easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable and efficient. We were very pleased with how easy it was to sell our house under Jean’s skilled management of the whole process. We highly recommend Jean for all of your real estate needs.
Jean has been great to work with! She listened and understood what we are looking for in a new home. She knows the market, she knows the buying/selling processes well, she pays attention to detail, she follows up, and she is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.
Jean was very efficient in setting up viewings. We were able to see several houses back-to-back which was great. She was able to schedule viewings very quickly, with enough time to get offers in. Jean worked with us after normal business hours and on Sundays, incredible! It really felt like Jean had our best interest in mind and was patient with explaining all the steps.
I am truly pleased to recommend Jean Hill to a friend or business associate. Jean showed such caring and dedication to her position while she was working with me to find my new home. She was always dependable whenever I wanted to visit a listing. She was flexible to my schedule and always punctual. Jean had a generous personality, she was approachable and demonstrated empathy toward to me and my family. She understood my needs and wants and gave support to help finding my dream home. In addition to everything Jean did for me, she became also a wonderful friend. Jean never missed an opportunity to make me laugh and smile. Jean is a very kind, genuine and knowledgable professional!
Jean was always attentive and devoted to finding the right house for us. I felt I could count on her to have our best interests at the forefront. She is highly profession and competent, as well as being a genuinely kind person. I recommend her highly and would return to her again and again for home sales and purchases.
Jean Hill provided exceptional service, advice, and guidance throughout the undertaking of selling my home. Jean is professional, highly knowledgeable, kind, nonjudgmental, and patient. Of particular importance was the consistency in her communication and keeping me apprised of where we were in the selling process. I will definitely hire her for future endeavors and also recommend her to family, friends, and colleagues.
Best regards,
Karen M. Reid
As first time home buyers, Jean’s attention to detail and patience really provided us a sense of reassurance during the whole process. Jean always respected our time and scheduled viewings in a way that was efficient — this was very important to us since we had tight schedules during the work week. She provided a ton of tips from all of her past experiences. And of course, she ensured that our questions are answered promptly. She gave us advice when we needed but never pushed us into any decisions we’re uncomfortable with. She watched out for us like a dear friend. She made the experience very pleasant (and fun!) and informative for the both us. We are so grateful we got a chance to work with Jean and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional, reliable, and experienced real estate agent!
Jean is very professional. She keeps track of all the details for the sale of a property. She kept me up to date on everything and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I'm very happy with the service and time Jean dedicated to the listing, showing and closing of my home. Highly recommend her.
Jean was wonderful to work with. With it being a sellers market, Jean was able to setup showings quickly after I indicated I wanted to look at a home. I had to drive 100 miles one way for a showing. If there were multiple homes I was interested in she was always able to squeeze them into one day. She learned my tastes quickly, so was able to steer me in the right direction. Jean would point out areas of concern, which I very much appreciated. While it was a stressful process for me, Jean made it feel comfortable.
We owe so many thanks to Jean Hill! She got us our house beating three other offers and now eight years later she helped us sell it! She has an incredible work ethic and is extremely detail-oriented, precise and professional. She was always responsive and available when we had a question. She has also become a friend to us and has checked in with us over the years. We couldn’t be happier for choosing her as our realtor and would absolutely recommend her! She’s the best around.
Jean Hill is a top notch realtor. Over the years we have never met a realtor that went the extra measure in making sure we thoroughly look at a house. She does this so we can be sure we are getting the home we want. Highly recommend Jean. She was additionally very helpful through the closing process, even checking on us after the closing! Jean is the best!
