# Hillary Birch Realtor **Trade:** Real Estate · **Brokerage:** Compass · **Address:** 1147 Hancock St, Quincy, MA 02169, USA · **Phone:** (781) 608-1425 · **Website:** https://hillarybirchgroup.com/?utm_source=GMBmain&utm_medium=organic · **Languages:** English **Rating: 5.0/5** (high confidence) — from 72 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 7 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Hillary Birch, a Quincy-based real estate broker running a team at Compass, has built a review record made almost entirely of repeat and referred clients — 72 reviews, every one five stars, and a Massachusetts real estate broker license that's active. On a South Shore Reddit thread asking for a realtor recommendation, her name kept coming up unprompted, more than once. The current run of reviews repeats the same details. A homeowner selling a 48-year family home this July called the decision emotional and said Hillary stayed honest with them even when they needed to hear something other than what they wanted. Buyers this spring described her keeping pace with a fast-moving Quincy market without missing a step, walking a newcomer through South Shore neighborhoods street by street, and staying patient with a family bringing two kids along to every showing. The pattern holds under real pressure, too. A 2024 review credited her directly with selling a house in two days on 13 offers, all above asking. Buyers describe her working the other side of that same market: a 2025 review recounted her getting a qualified offer in place the morning after a first showing, and another described a two-year house hunt that had nearly worn a couple down ending once they started working with her. A 2023 review from a ten-year client described transactions running from selling a multi-family home to buying an off-market single-family, and a 2025 review from a couple she'd first helped buy a home back in 2015 described her guiding them through both a sale and a new purchase a decade later. Sellers get help beyond the listing, too — one 2025 review said she referred painters and electricians to get a childhood home ready for staging, and a 2025 review of an out-of-state condo sale said she handled every detail after the owner cleared out, including navigating a few deals that fell through before one stuck. There's nothing here to flag before calling — no complaint shows up anywhere in the record. Reach out if you're buying or selling in a competitive South Shore market and want someone hands-on through closing and beyond. **Strengths:** - Highly responsive — answers calls and emails almost instantly - Wins bidding wars — sold one home in two days on 13 offers over ask - Repeat clients — buyers return for a second transaction years later - Coordinates the extras — refers stagers, contractors, and mortgage brokers ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Highly responsive — answers emails and calls almost instantly _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNBZzdmeW5nRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x9919969544f04f6f!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMCAg7fyngE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Hillary helped us to buy a condo in Quincy.
