Outside the Region: Thomas and Hilleman join Houlihan Lawrence

Darien, CT Houlihan Lawrence has welcomed Cathy Thomas and Heather Hilleman to its local office. The two agents were previously with Halstead Real Estate.

Thomas, a full-time agent for nearly 16 years, has been a consistent market leader with deep knowledge of communities, inventory and neighborhoods she represents. Prior to entering real estate, she had a long and distinguished career at Walt Disney Co., where she was Vice President of TV Ad Sales. Thomas, who moved to the area from New York City in 1993, is a member of the Old Lyme Country Club, the Yale Club of New York City, and a past board member of the Darien Arts Center.

Hilleman, who has been working in real estate locally for the past four years, has built a solid client base locally, as well as in Rowayton, New Canaan, and the surrounding area. With more than two decades of sales and marketing experience, she has an extensive background analyzing market conditions, negotiating deals and building brands. A Darien resident, Hilleman currently serves on the Hindley Elementary PTO Board as well as the Woodway Country Club Board.

“Cathy and Heather represent top talent in this market and are both powerful additions to our team,” said Amanda Briggs, Darien Brokerage Manager for Houlihan Lawrence. “We’re thrilled they’ve chosen our innovative platform to grow their business to the next level.”
