My husband and I just completed the process of buying our first home with The Hill Group. They had been recommended by a couple of friends and we are glad that we chose them. Steven James was our realtor and he was always very professional and communicative. Every time we called him or texted him he responded promptly. As first time home buyers, we obviously had A LOT of questions and concerns. Steven always answered them and never seemed annoyed or rushed. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in a job well done and that he really enjoys his profession. He shows up on time, every time. He kept us in the loop. He seemed to really understand what we were looking for. We found a place on the first day we went looking. It also really felt like we had the help of not only Steven, but the Hill Group as a whole. We had some potential issues with the seller (they were from out of state and did not want to fix anything) and it felt like the whole Hill Group team worked together to offer solutions and support. We even called Joshua to try and understand what might be going on (on the part of the seller) since he deals a lot with selling. He answered all of our questions and was so nice as well. It ended up all working out and we can't wait to move in this weekend to our first place! Thank you all! read more

Coming in from out of town to sell a property for a relative, I had to interview and hire the right realty group. After interviewing 3 of the top agencies in the Valley it was apparent that Josh and his team were the perfect fit. Within 3 days we had contract signed , house staged, photographed and listed and of had 7 showings scheduled for day one all while we were back home 1500 miles away. They brought several full price offers the first day for us to choose from. Now no deal ever closes perfectly and of course we had dozens of calls at all times of the day and night before we got the deal finished and closed. All in 30 days by the way. If I could give them 10 stars I would in a second. This process was perfect all because of the team. Thanks again Josh read more

The Hill Group helped me purchase my first home back in 2010, and they have now carried me fully through the journey and helped me sell it as well. When we first sat down to discuss the local market and setting a price I was absolutely blown away by their level of preparedness. I felt extremely comfortable working with them as they always had the answers to my questions and even to questions I hadn't thought to ask. They successfully helped me sell my house quickly and confidently, in exactly the way that I had hoped it would. They are professional, attentive, and prepared. I cannot recommend this team more highly, if you are going to buy or sell a home and in need of someone to trust look no further. read more

Joshua Hill is the Best! I was searching for a seasoned and knowledgeable agent to help us find the right home. The agent I wanted, needed to communicate clearly every step of the way. This agent had to be patient and available under any situation. His response to time sensitive issues must be quick. I expected him to advise me with my best interest every time. I know my expected level of service might be high, but myself having 8 years of mortgage lending experience demanded a certain individual. I'm extremely impressed I found Joshua Hill. I used Yelp to find him and the reviews don't lie. Relatives in Chandler recommended agents they had used in the past but neither measured up until I made contact with Joshua. He took us through dozens of homes, explained the current market conditions, and ultimately achieved our goal of becoming homeowners in Chandler. Thank you Joshua, Kirsten, and the rest of your team at The Hill Group. The Chavez Family read more

After seeing the great reviews here on Yelp, my first call was to The Hill Group when I was looking to sell my home. Everyone I interacted with was extremely professional and quick to return my calls. Once I listed the home, Joshua kept in close contact and always made me feel very informed with what was going on. When I've listed with other agents in the past, there has typically been long periods of no communication that forces you to call them for any updates, but this was not the case with Joshua. Every inquiry I made was immediately responded to and he made me feel very in the know about what was going on. I've sold a couple of homes before, and none of the other agents I've worked with have made me feel as comfortable with the selling process as The Hill Group. I can't recommend them enough. read more

My husband and I didn't know any realtors in AZ but had heard about the Hill Group through coworkers. They were very knowledgeable about the Chandler area - where we were looking to buy. They made us feel comfortable and let us ask them a ton of questions. Buying a home is a lengthy process and there is so much to remember to do - The Hill Group helped us keep on top of it. They were patient, understanding, and very knowledgeable. They are still here for us even after almost a year of living in our new home! They keep in touch and sent us an anniversary card. The personal touch is what makes a lasting impression! If we ever move again we will use the Hill Group, no doubt. Don't hesitate to hire this group - you will not be disappointed! read more

We sold our home in two days for above asking price. Josh Hill and his team are the best in town. We had met with other realtors who just didn't seem excited about our home and who wanted to list it much lower than it was worth, but Josh and Sean were always encouraging and positive about the potential in our home. Selling a home is stressful, but I always felt confident that there wasn't anything to worry about with The Hill Group on my team. I only wish they had a team in the city we relocated to... read more

As far as real estate agents go, it doesn't get any better than The Hill Group. As a first time homebuyer who was buying from almost 2000 miles away, I can say I was totally terrified at the thought but the guys at the Hill Group made the process easy, understandable and painless, believe it or not. The night we put the bid in on the house, it was late on a Saturday night..well after 7pm yet Daniel and Joshua stayed on until the job was done, talking me through the paperwork via email and phone until I had everything signed and ready to go. This kind of service is exactly what you should expect from the Hill Group. They went well out of their way to explain and explain again if I needed it, and even after the sale they are still helping me out with recomendations and referrals as I get acclamated to a new house and new place. They are extremely knowledgable, very personable, punctual, helpful and fun....I can't imagine buying or selling a house without them! read more

Doug and Sydney spent multiple days taking us around various locations when we were just thinking of moving to the Phoenix area. They were incredibly knowledgeable and honest in their assessment of the many houses and areas we took a look at. They gave us a ton of insight into the neighborhoods, provided recommendations from stores to restaurants. Overall, they were a pleasure to be around. If we do continue to pursue the area, we'll definitely be continuing to work with Doug. Thank you both! read more

Sean and the Hill group did a great job selling my house. From price estimate to closing the deal. The best part of it I was remote. They always responded to my emails and calls and explained all the details. The photos were beautiful. Sean helped me with finding pest control company (Becca the seller requested it), mowed my lawn before closing date and even mailed my personal mail to my current home address. I would highly recommend Hill group if you want get stuff done with quality and professionalism. read more

Steven James is a true talent. His prowess as a buyer's agent is apparent in how honest, transparent, patient, accountable and outgoing he is. We were proud to have someone as kindhearted and knowledgeable as Steven represent us. As out-of-state buyers, we needed an agent who would be our eyes and ears, someone willing to guide us through what would have been an otherwise overwhelming process. Steven was attentive to our housing needs and provided truly individualized customer service. In fact, we felt like his only clients despite what a busy schedule he has. Through what felt like fate (but actually countless client testimonials singing his praises), we were fortunate to have found someone who delivered on his promises and fought for us in this highly competitive market. Although we believe that the current Phoenix market requires a great deal of luck, strategy, and flexibility, it is one that we entered into confidently because we had a phenomenal team in Steven James and The Hill Group. Steven, you have exceeded our expectations at every single stage of the homebuying process. Thank you for helping us secure our dream home. We would, without hesitation, recommend you to our nearest and dearest friends in a heartbeat. read more

Outstanding performance. I have been involved in several real estate transactions and I know that it is important to have a good realtor. Once you sign on, you are at their mercy. This is especially true in my case as I am not local; I liquidated my sister's estate from the east coast. I did a lot of research and chose the Hill group for two reasons. First, they seemed very reputable from their history and from my initial interactions with them. Second, they have a good business reason for doing well by their customers: they are a long-standing family business and have a strong incentive to maintain their reputation. I was not disappointed by my choice. They put together a detailed marketing plan, based on many comparables in the Scottsdale area. They took amazing aerial photos of the property from some kind of drone. They gave me tips on how to prepare the house without spending too much money. Once I they had the go-ahead to put it on the market, they went through a targeted list they had prepared, and showed it to a dozen or two potential buyers in the first couple of days. I had 3 offers by the first weekend. I took one at the full (and aggressive) asking price and then closed within 3 weeks. I absolutely recommend the Hill Group. read more

Joshua and the rest of The Hill Group were outstanding! Joshua made sure to thoroughly explain every step of the process from the minute we started looking at properties until we signed the final closing documents. Joshua and team were extremely knowledgeable with the real estate market and made a point to answer every question/concern we had immediately. We MORE than highly recommend Joshua and The Hill Group! read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! That is what Yelp dictates as the definition of a 5-star review. Joshua and The Hill Group deserve every previous positive review and every single star. I apologize if my praise sounds overly effusive, but I could not be happier or more thankful for my experience with Joshua. My wife and I were very fortunate to have Joshua guide us through the process of purchasing our first home. I would love to say that everything went smoothly, but as anyone who has undergone the journey of purchasing a home would tell you, there were definitely some trying times. What speaks volumes, however, is how Joshua was persistent and encouraging throughout. This is not a group that profits off of quick turnarounds, faux customer service, or any other prevalent slimy tactic. I thoroughly believe that Joshua acted in our best interests, even if it did not particularly benefit him to do so. After my experience, I would be more than privileged to call Joshua a great person, a great real estate agent, and even a friend. Show me another real estate agent that will "Like" your Facebook statuses. Recommendation: If you are a first-time home buyer, purchasing a second home, (really if you're having to do anything with a house, condo, townhouse, patio home purchase), etc., contact The Hill Group for real estate agents who are down to Earth, knowledgeable, and most importantly, genuinely caring people. read more

What can I say, The Hill Group rocks! After finding them on Yelp my wife and I choose them to sell and buy or new home. We mostly worked with Joshua (Selling Agent), Steven (Buyers Agent), and Andrew (Escrow Guru) who guided us through the home selling/buying process. Each step along the way was very well thought out and monitored by this team of fine agents. Joshua was such a great help when we were selling our home. The initial consultation was very informative about how they go about selling a home and their recommendations. With a culmination of research, some amazing resources, and countless phone calls they were able to get us 2 offers before the end of the first week on the market. Needless to say it they definitely exceeded our expectations. Steven assisted us in trying to find our perfect home (Arcadia). We went through home after home for approximately 4 weeks before we found the one (One day we saw 10 houses in 2.5 hours, must be some sort of record). He was extremely helpful in contacting the other agent, getting info that helped us offer the correct amount. I could tell at all times he was always thinking in our best interest, which ultimately lead to the purchasing our wonderful home for years to come. Finally Andrew, he was the glue that made sure everything went smooth during the escrow process. Not ever going through that before he made it very simple. He gave us step by step instructions about which documents were needed or what needed to be signed. If we needed dates changed or had any questions he was our advocate to all the other parties involved. Overall I could not of asked for a better way to go about buying and selling a home. The Hill Group made it as stress free as possible and were with us the entire way. I'm very thankful for everything they have done and would recommend them to anyone buying or selling their home here in Phoenix! read more

I personally know 20+ local Real Estate Agents, but there is only one I recommend to friends- Josh Hill at the Hill Group. When you make a recommendations you are putting your own reputation on the line and I know that I have nothing to worry about when I refer friends and clients to Josh. I know Josh and the team at the Hill Group will exceed their expectations and provide top notch services, be it selling their home quickly or finding the perfect home at the right price. Josh is truly an expert when it comes to Real Estate and has a wealth of knowledge about the Phoenix market. He is also just an all around good person and will make your buying experience enjoyable. read more

Josh thank you so much for helping us, you were very resourceful and energetic and so pleasant to work with. Coming from the DC was a big change and you made it very easy and gave us advice like we were your own family. Two thumps up..... read more

The Hill Group is a fantastic real estate team. We have worked with Joshua, Sean, Kirsten, and Doug on several transactions. They came recommended to us 15 years ago, and we are thankful for that recommendation. They are professional in everything that they do, and very knowledgeable about the Phoenix market. They have helped us both buy and sell houses (twice closing while we were out of state), and in every transaction we felt like we were dealing with a family member. They always had our best interest in mind, provided all the information we needed to make decisions. If you are buying or selling in the Phoenix market, the Hill Group should be the first and last place you look for a realty team. read more

I would like to express how fantastic our experience was with the Hill Group. As a first time home buyer, I was incredibly nervous about the whole process. Josh more than put my fears to rest. I was recommended to contact Josh and the Hill Group from a few friends who had utilized their services in the past and were very pleased. I can happily say my friends were right. Josh and the team were professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. My wife and I love our new home and The Hill Group played a large part in making it possible. I would recommend their services to anyone. read more

We just purchased our first home with help from Steven James at The Hill Group. We had no idea what we were getting into, but Steven was very helpful and informative every step of the way. We started our search almost six months ago but then had to put it on hold while we sorted out some financial issues. Steven was very patient and understanding, and once we started looking again, he was able to find us a fantastic house that was almost completely move-in ready and within our price range. Additionally, when our bank began making things difficult regarding mortgage requirements, Steven put us in touch with another lender that provided an equally high level of service, enabling us to get into our house at least two months earlier than would otherwise have been possible. Buying a house is always stressful, but Steven made it as easy as it could be, and I can't recommend him and The Hill Group highly enough. read more

We have nothing but praise for Joshua Hill and The Hill Group!! We love the home we ended up with, and we couldn't have done it without them! Joshua was extremely friendly and professional, and you could tell he always had our best interests in mind. Whether it was Joshua, Andrew or anyone else in the group, there was always someone available to help us out when needed. Joshua was always well prepared for home showings, and his knowledge and experience with the homes in the Valley proved invaluable to our search. The Hill Group was there every step of the way to make our home buying process amazingly simple and fun. As first time home buyers, we were unaware of how involved and lengthy the process really is--so much more than just pick a home and make an offer. The initial meetings, loan pre-approvals, home showings, negotiations, writing contracts, home inspections, closing escrow--Joshua and the rest of The Hill Group was always there to help along the way, and they made it all as simple as possible for us. We can't imagine going through all of that without them! We could go on and on about how great our experience was working with The Hill Group. It was such a pleasure to work with them, and they made the home-buying experience fun and memorable. When the time comes to do it all again, we will most certainly go back to them with our business. We would recommend them to anyone, hands-down!! A BIG THANKS TO THE HILL GROUP FOR OUR AMAZING NEW HOME!!!! -Alex and Julie read more

Best Real Estate Experience Ever! Steven James is the greatest realtor out there. - Very professional - Straightforward & consistent communication - Friendly & personable - Treats clients respectfully and GOES THE EXTRA MILE - Excellent realty skills, resources, and contacts Steven and the Hill Group made my home buying experience smooth and easy. I am definitely looking forward to continuing my business with them in the future. I would fully trust them with any real estate matters that I have. The Hill Group works very well and cohesively as team. From a high-end property, to a fixer-upper, or even foreclosure; Steven and the Hill Group have the experience, and skills to make it happen. read more

Doug Hill has been extremely helpful in finding Space! He's gone far and above to assist me. This is the type of agent that does business with heart! In business for all the right reasons. Thank you Doug, and Hill group for your immeasurable assistance under a strict time frame. You have my highest of business recommendations !! If you are looking for an amazing agent, look no further, just call Doug today! You won't regret it. read more

It's hard to say anything that hasn't already been said about the Hill Group but I'll do my best. Steve James and Josh Hill and the rest of the Hill Group team truly make you feel like family. Their effort, passion, attitude, and knowledge towards their craft are truly second to none. They work tirelessly to answer every question, promptly return every text, and follow up to every email in record time. The energy and excitement with which Steve displayed with the showing of each home truly made the home buying experience fun. However like any good family member they don't just tell you what you want to hear to earn their commission and move on. You get the good, the bad, the ugly and the reality check that most home buyers especially a new one like myself needs. Regardless of your budget, wants, needs, and dreams these guys are the best. It felt like Steve was buying a home for himself with as much enthusiasm as he showed when we finally found "the one." He also relentlessly negotiated on my behalf and scratched and clawed to get me a way better deal that I could have ever imagined. Furthermore their connections and friendships with lenders, appraisers, inspectors, and repairmen made the worrisome aspects of home buying virtually stress free. From viewing the first home to signing the closing documents The Hill Group was there with support every step of the way. Steve and Josh somehow have a photographic memory of nearby restaurants, gyms, schools, and parks for virtually every square inch of this city. Not only that but they are both also impeccably dressed on every occasion which adds a level of sophistication and professionalism to such an important moment in most people's lives. Don't waste your time with anyone else for your real estate needs. The Hill Group, Steve James and Josh HIll can't be beat! read more

We started working with the Hill group after being referred by family. It was by far the best decision. Steven and Sydney were amazing! They answered every question and educated us as this was our first home purchase. They were always super responsive and showing us every home we wanted to see! Sydney even watched our two boys while we looked at a home, Steven and Sydney learned our situation and needs and got to work right away! From doing showings on weekends to answering questions late at night. I highly recommend the Hill Group. Thank you guys for all your patience and help during this journey! read more

Steven is a true professional who made our buying process a wonderful experience. Buying a new home can be a challenging process for anyone, especially when you are not from the area. It was our first time purchasing a home outside of Canada and Steven's knowledge helped us enormously. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and looked after every detail. He even helped us decorate the house by gifting us a few plants.. how thoughtful! Thank you to both Steven and Sarah (who helped us with all the closing paperwork) for your excellent service and professionalism! read more

Derek and Doug were great to work with! They spent the necessary time and energy to put my wife and I in our dream home! We couldn't be happier with the experience! Thanks guys! read more

We worked with Steven James from the Hill Group. This was my 4th purchase with them. I highly recommend them and Steven. They are professional, dedicated, super friendly and the best in Phoenix. We purchased our home after only couple days of searching. They helped us with the paperwork and Steven brought us a super nice gift at the end. What an awesome team! read more

This was my first time buying a home and I worked with Steven James. I cannot recommend him enough! From start to finish, he made the process of buying the home of my dreams almost painless. He was always available to answer my questions and gave honest advice. He truly went above and beyond what I would have expected of a real estate agent! For example, when I couldn't get off work for the inspection, he went and then facetimed me with the inspector's findings. So if you are looking for a realtor in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, give Steven James a call. You will not be disappointed! read more

They're the best, hands down. I've now bought 3 homes with The Hill Group, sold 1, and in the process of selling another. Through that time I've had the chance to work with everyone on their team - all of which are amazingly professional and experts in the field. During my recent purchase I worked with Steve who was excellent. He was very patient during our buying process, accommodated our schedules, and gave us honest feedback in every situation making us feel very comfortable that he was working in our best interest rather than just trying to make a transaction. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. read more

First time buying a home and the Hill group was just amazing during the process. Steven was always ready with answers and giving his best advice. Definitely would recommend The Hill Group to anyone. Thanks Again! read more

Had a great experience with Steven James! Highly recommend.

The Hill's have been friends and clients of mine for several years now - they even helped me look for a rental property when I was not ready to buy. I trust them 100% and have watched them help people out time and time again. These guys are real estate pros in a league all their own! They are also active members in the local community and give back. read more

I was anticipating a wonderful experience with The Hill Group after reading all the wonderful reviews. Unfortunately, I am looking for a home in WEST Phoenix and I was informed by The Hill Group that their firm does not work with clients looking in the Avondale/Litchfield Park area. I was very disappointed. However, I did receive a timely response to my inquiry email from Daniel Hill. The stars reflect only my disappointment. read more

My experience with The Hill Group was short and unproductive. I spoke with one of their agents on the phone this morning to begin looking for houses as I prepare to relocate to the Phoenix area. The agent said that he would work with me. A few hours later, I received an email from the agent saying that, at my price range, houses go quick. He concluded by saying that he may not have the time to help me. I do not mind agents being too busy to take on new clients, however, I would have wanted him to express this concern during the initial phone call. The overall experience left me with the notion that his reason for backing out was because my price range was not high enough. I give them one star. read more

I had such a positive experience working with Steven James and The Hill Group for my recent home purchase. Steven is extremely professional and worked hard to make the process as smooth as possible for me. I appreciate the time he took to negotiate with the seller to get me pretty much everything I could ask for and now I am loving my dream home! Steven was always accessible, extremely flexible with meeting times, etc and I would definitely recommend him to any one who is looking for a great realtor! read more

The Hill group was amazingly efficient and professional in both the selling of our old home and the buying of our new one. Joshua was infinitely patient as we worked in a tight market to find a new place that suited us. His recommendations were carefully considered to meet our needs/wants. When we finally found the home we wanted, he acted immediately to secure it, ahead of other bids that came in that same day. Joshua took the time to really listen to us and to be sure we were comfortable with each step of the process. Our transactions happened over a year and a half ago and we are unexpectedly faced with going through the same process again. We'll definitely be using Joshua as our agent. I just wish we could take him to our new community with us, so we could find the perfect place there! read more

My husband and I were referred to Steven James by a friend in Washington State who used him when they relocated to AZ. When we found out we were also relocating we requested him based on their excellent experience. He is so personable, professional, and helpful. He listened to all our needs and showed us homes based on all our criteria. His customer service is exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone buying a home in AZ. read more

This is a 5 Star real estate group and nothing less. Absolute experts within every area they focus in, clients can expect to gain more than just a great home buying experience. Joshua and the rest of The Hill Group pride themselves on educating the people they work with about the current home market and help you align your requirements with your budget to get you a home in a great area that you and your family will not only love but will benefit from financially in the years to come. I had worked with another Realtor for almost 8 months which led to frustration and the decision to find a new Realtor. I purchased my first home from Joshua in the DC Ranch area and every aspect of the search and sale went smoothly. At the time of my purchase prices were low which is obviously a good thing, however, the area i was looking in was a hotbed and at the time a bank owned home would get listed and have multiple offers within the first day or two. Seriously, this Real Estate Ninja (Josh) was all over any new listing that he thought i'd like and would always make a prompt and aggressive offer that lead me to a successful purchase after around a month of searching. The bottom line is this, I love these guys. I ended up with the right home in the right area that's gone up in value. I'm normally hesitant to refer others to a company but i have complete confidence in The Hill Group. I've referred a few friends and family members since my purchase and all have had the same experience i did. They made me look like a hero, which i like! read more

House hunting in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area? Look no further until you've contacted The Hill Group! This wonderful team of caring and knowledgeable professionals make home buying as rewarding and enjoyable as possible (a very daunting process when you are an out of state buyer relocating to an unfamiliar area). During your house hunting phase, be sure to work with Steven James. His knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication to help you find the home of your dreams will make your time well spent. He has a knack for understanding your likes and dislikes, tastes and I was particularly impressed with his observations of small details that had escaped my notice while viewing properties. At the end of the day it comes down to people and Steve is charming, affable, honest and will work very hard to find the house of your dreams...he did for us! read more
