She was the one packing the house while he reported to a new command — three states, three closings, no do-overs. “I don’t need a client to explain what BAH covers, what a reporting date means for a closing timeline, or why a virtual showing has to work the first time. I’ve lived on both sides of that timeline — as a client and as the agent.” She holds a graduate-level paralegal degree and a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certification from the National Association of Realtors. Beyond real estate, she’s a special education advocate, working with dyslexic learners and the families navigating an IEP from a new duty station.

Hilary knew the area cold and kept showings moving fast enough to work with our timeline.” Relocating Buyer, North County “She coordinated virtual showings and helped us put a VA loan to work on our new home — she went well beyond what we expected from an agent.” PCS Buyer — Beyond Real Estate A military-connected special education advocate, too Outside of real estate, Hilary works with dyslexic learners and the families navigating an IEP or 504 plan from a new duty station — support that’s especially hard to line up mid-PCS, when a School Liaison Officer can help with general enrollment questions, but special education specifically often runs through your installation’s RLSO and EFMP coordinator.

Hilary spent 12 of her 25 military-connected years as a Coast Guard spouse, moving three states and closing on a home in each one. She’s been the client on the other side of a PCS closing, so she plans timelines around reporting dates, BAH, and remote showings without needing them explained. What does a paralegal degree add to a real estate transaction? Her graduate-level paralegal degree carries into how she reads contracts, contingencies, and disclosures — catching issues before they become closing delays. Does Hilary only work with military families? Military and PCS clients are her focus, and where her MRP certification and firsthand experience add the most value — but she works with any buyer or seller in her San Diego focus neighborhoods. Does Hilary help with special education needs during a PCS move? Yes. Outside of real estate, she’s a military-connected special education advocate who works with dyslexic learners and families navigating an IEP or 504 plan from a new duty station.
