Donald E. Hilliard Jr. is the founder and principal broker of Hilliard Real Estate, bringing decades of real-world experience in New Hampshire and New England residential markets. Over the course of his career, he has guided buyers and sellers through changing conditions, complex decisions, and a wide range of property types, always with a focus on clear information, steady advocacy, and thoughtful strategy. Rooted in New England through generations of family history, Don’s connection to the region goes beyond market knowledge alone. That sense of place and continuity has shaped his approach to brokerage: helping clients understand not just the numbers, but the lifestyles, communities, and long-term implications behind every move. His work is grounded in the belief that better-informed decisions lead to better outcomes, and that every client deserves experienced, practical guidance at each step. In addition to his brokerage work, Don is the creator and founder of Ask A Real Estate Agent, an independent consulting branch dedicated to fee-based real estate advice, education, and market analysis. Through this consulting platform, he has developed digital analysis tools and frameworks that help clients see their options more clearly—whether they are evaluating a primary home purchase, a second home, a short-term rental, land purchase, or a potential sale. These tools reflect the same commitment that runs through his brokerage work: turning complex information into usable insight. Don’s journey in real estate has been fueled by a desire to help people make confident, grounded decisions about where they live and invest. His decades of experience, combined with his consulting work and analytical tools, give clients a rare combination of hands-on transaction expertise and deeper advisory perspective. Whether he is representing a buyer or seller through Hilliard Real Estate, or providing independent guidance through Ask A Real Estate Agent, his focus remains the same: to provide clear, honest advice and to support clients in achieving their real estate goals with confidence and care.
