Rachel Foy is proud of building a successful brokerage with a family feel that has been helping clients since 2013. “You start and end your day at home. Everyone deserves a safe and happy place to make memories,” says Foy, who is the broker and owner of Hillman Homes. With every sale, she makes a donation to help fight homelessness, and she also hosts clothing drives to support the nonprofit Second Chances.

Foy’s business is based 95% on referrals. She makes sure each client understands the transaction process, addresses any concerns they have and gives them the time they need to make a clear decision. She understands not only the needs and stresses of homeowners, but also those of investors and landlords. Foy is licensed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and owns multiple properties. Over the years, she has experienced recessions and downturns in the market that guide the advice she gives clients today.

“I want my clients to be happy in their home — comfortable in being able to take care of it, as well as invest in it appropriately for building future value,” she says. This dedication has earned her top broker awards every year of her 23-year career. To Foy, the best compliment a past client can give is reaching out years later to ask for advice or a vendor recommendation; that caring and relationship continues way past the actual closing date

Foy is a member of the National Association of Realtors, Massachusetts Association of Realtors and Greater Boston Real Estate Board. She is on the board of Newton’s Boys and Girls Club and among the leadership team of BNI Newell. To best serve clients, she holds the following designations: Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified Probate Specialist and notary public.
