Meet Hillary Gurnea 

Heart Driven Real Estate with Deep Texoma Roots

With years of experience in marketing and a lifelong passion for connecting with people, Hillary found her true calling in real estate. Today, she brings authenticity, creativity, and dedication to every client she serves—making homeownership a personal and meaningful experience. Whether she's helping a first-time home buyer or guiding a veteran through the process, Hillary brings a steady hand and servant's heart to every transaction.

From Marketing to Meaningful Connections

Before stepping into real estate, Hillary spent many years in the marketing world, building her career around storytelling, branding, and relationship-building. These strengths now serve her clients well as she helps market homes and guide buyers/sellers with confidence. 

What sets Hillary apart is her ability to truly connect—listening to her clients' goals and walking with them every step of the way through the homeownership journey. 

Why Real Estate? Why Texoma?

For Hillary, real estate is about more than keys and contracts—it's about helping people experience the pride of owning a home and building a life they love. Texoma, with its mix of small-town charm, lake life, ranch land, with access to big-city conveniences, offers the perfect setting for her clients' dreams. Offering unmatched insight and experience in the local market—Hillary specializes in residential real estate, particularly lake properties, land and ranch homes, and rural living

A Focus on Service: Veterans & First Responders 

Hillary has a special place in her heart for Veterans and First Responders. With several family members having served—including her grandfathers, uncles, and now her son who is pursuing a career in federal law enforcement—she is deeply committed to helping those who serve achieve homeownership. She provides personalized guidance, resources, and support to make the path to buying a home more accessible and empowering.

Outside of Work

When Hillary isn't working with her clients, you'll likely find her floating on Lake Texoma, relaxing on her back porch at sunrise, or spending time with her lovable Golden Lab pup, Birdie Butters. Birdie, a natural water-lover and expert fetcher, fits right into Hillary's outdoor lifestyle. 

Hillary also stays active in the community. She volunteers with the Military Veteran Peer Network (MVPN), supports TMC surgical nurses, and serves on several industry committees, including GTAR Program Committee and the Texas REALTORS® Conference Committee. She's even in the process of joining the GTAR Board of Directors. 

Her favorite places in town? Anywhere the community gathers — Sherman Art Fest, Denison's Music on Main, Old Iron Post, and casual coffee meetups like Ladies of Texoma No Agenda Coffee.

A Real Estate Approach with Heart 

Hillary leads with heart, but backs it with industry knowledge, continuing education, and a strong network of mentors and colleagues. She loves helping buyers discover the potential in a fixer-upper, find a perfect lake getaway, or finally settle into their dream ranch.

To her, success isn't just about closing deals—it's about building relationships that last.
