Dene Hillinger, Realtor

Blue Ribbon Advantage

Dene Hillinger has lived on the North Shore her entire life. She has been in real estate as an investor since 1996, buying and selling properties from Lake Bluff to Chicago. Just recently she entered the real estate business and chose Jean Wright Real Estate because of Jean’s unparalleled reputation on the North Shore.

Dene also makes her living decorating and staging homes to be sold and has amassed an extensive client list in these fields. Dene prides herself on her ability to bring out the best in her client’s homes and to have them sell quickly.

Before coming to Jean Wright, Dene co-owned the Cypress Inn Restaurant in Northbrook for 12 years with her two sisters.  During her time at the Cypress Inn, Dene became very active with many local charities and organizations, including the American Cancer Society.

Later she owned and operated an antique store in Northbrook, which furthered her exceptional sales ability and perfected her outstanding customer service.

Dene has a “can do” positive attitude and she loves just about anything to do with houses and looks forward to working with you.
