Hillary Olinger – Founding Member, SERHANT. RHODE ISLAND
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.”
