About Hileman Real Estate
A Local Company You Can Trust
My name is Debbie Hileman, Broker and Owner of Hileman Real Estate, Inc. In 1996 I ventured out to open my own real estate business after thirteen years of sales and rental management experience in Ocean Pines, Maryland. From a staff of two, our company has grown to a staff of four rental assistants and twelve sales associates.
We are still a small company by some standards, however we have made a strong presence in our Ocean Pines, Ocean City, and Northern Worcester County markets. Our real estate sales associates are second to none. We pride ourselves on our specialized personal service and our dedication to getting the job done.
Whether you’re a homeowner needing to sell your property, a first-time home buyer, or an experienced investor, our agents have the tools and knowledge to make the experience a positive one. We pride ourselves on our vast number of repeat and referral customers and hope you’ll be among those soon.
Sincerely, Debbie Hileman
