I am retired from a 32 year private law practice in Coupeville, WA. During my career I represented realtors, sued realtors, sued the Board of Realtors and represented many clients in land transactions. I’ve had dealings with many, many realtors. I have also bought and sold a number of parcels of land and dealt with realtors in those transactions. She has sold at least six properties in the past year for me and my family and done so with excellence. Pamela maintains close contact with her clients, constantly updates her clients and has a keen intellect for the ins and outs of real estate transactions. I have recommended her to many friends already and will continue to do so.

"I’m a professional real estate investor and have dealt with a lot of realtors over the years both professionally and personally. So when the time came to shop for a realtor on Whidbey Island I interviewed a number of possible agents and settled on Pamela. I was impressed by her knowledge and her honesty. She knows the Whidbey market inside out, the location of nearly every property; those for sale, those that sold and those that may soon be on the market. She has worked the area for so long that she was selling some of the properties for the second or even third time! In fact, the house that we ultimately bought, she had sold to the previous owner years ago and so was intimately familiar with the good and bad points of the property. She even had sold the house next door to the current neighbor and waved to him as we toured the property.
Pamela is very honest and blunt about some of the listings that I asked about. A couple of the houses I showed interest in because they seemed such a good value, she told me were right under the flight path of Navy jets and that is why they were so cheap. A lot of other realtors would have happily have shown me those houses and either not mentioned the jet noise or downplayed it.
Pamela is genuinely interested in doing the best possible job for her clients. Also, because she has been in the business for decades, she knows her job! We were in a multiple bid situation and she recommended the bid strategy that got us the house. After the contract was signed, there were several issues that came up. The home inspection cited a number of things that needed attention, the title report showed an easement across the property that was a liability and the appraisal came in low. Pamela handled each very professionally and tirelessly advocating for our best interests; she negotiated a fair price reduction in each case. Most realtors would not have put in the effort. They wouldn’t want to risk upsetting the sale and their commissions are based on the final sales price. The higher the better. But Pamela kept working for US! We saved a lot of money through her efforts on our behalf and I appreciate her dedication, loyalty and hard work.
I HIGHLY recommend Pamela. She is easily one of the best agents that I have worked with in a 30 year real estate career. I’d love to have her represent me in all my deals."

“Pamela helped us navigate the process of buying our first home, and she was extremely helpful throughout. Initially we were browsing for parcels of raw land (before determining to hold off on that idea based on financing). As we learned, land and houses are (surprisingly) very different real estate specialties, but Pamela proved knowledgeable in all these areas.
We then changed gears and found the house we ended up buying, for which Pamela was coincidentally also the selling agent, so she ended up representing both parties. She helped facilitate a fair and open negotiation, leading to an agreeable sale, so that all parties walked away satisfied. I felt that she represented and consulted for both parties fairly, professionally, and honestly, She was also available virtually 100% of the time. In addition to all this, Pamela is personable and approachable and is someone you would enjoy getting brunch with. I hope she never retires, because if we ever decided to sell (no guarantees, b/c we may never move!), we hope that she can represent us again.”
"Pamela Hill is the gold standard for realtors. She is intimately familiar with Whidbey Island, she is deeply knowledgeable about her profession, she advocates for her clients and she is a lot of fun to work with. I couldn’t say enough good things about Pamela. It was such a pleasure to work with her and she did a superb job for us."
“We cannot thank Pamela enough for helping us find our perfect beach house. We had some specific requirements and a budget that presented challenges on Whidbey. Pamela patiently and with great skill guided us to a wonderful result. She knows Whidbey. She knows waterfront property. So if you are either buying or selling, she is definitely who you want to work with. Thank you Pamela!”
“I must admit I had some trepidation in selling our family home which my parents had built. However, after contacting and working with Pamela, my wife and I want to give a “Big Thank-You & a Big High Five” for her dedication and details in making the selling of our family home “A Success.” Pamela’s insights and skills are amazing, she worked effortlessly and professionally. She gave us ideas which we applied and utilized in making the house look the most attractive and presentable for prospective buyers. With these tips and insights and her encouragement we were able to sell our home to the new owners who will love, cherish and appreciate it as much as we did. Our home is filled with many wonderful memories. We are thankful that we found and worked with Pamela. She provided us with timely information and feedback. She made selling our home a most pleasant experience. If you are looking to purchase a new home or sell yours, I would highly recommend an experienced Real Estate Agent: Pamela Z. Hill. We have much respect in her experience and professionalism she exhibited while working for us. You are the Best! Thank you ever so much.”
“We have purchased 8 houses over the years and had never worked with a truly professional realtor….until now. Here is what we appreciated about Pamela: She listened to what we said and acted on it. She did not push houses that she wanted to sell rather she picked houses that met our criteria. Pamela believes in fiduciary relationship with her clients. Pamela is direct and does not waste your time or hers. Pamela has a depth of knowledge of Whidbey Island area that comes with her 30 years of local experience. From offer to closing Pamela kept an eye on everything and kept us in the loop with lots of status updates. She is great at communicating – you will not wonder what is going on. We have no plans to buy another house, but if we do, guess who we would call…..OK no guessing needed…..we would call Pamela.”
“Doing a long distance home search is not easy. We tried two other agents before we met Pamela. We feel so fortunate to have found her. She really listened to what we wanted and kept that her focus through our whole search. She knows Whidbey and was always able to give us the background and pros and cons of any property. We were extremely picky, but she was a trooper and never gave up the search. After a year and a half, we found the perfect house. She made our closing so easy that we closed in three weeks. She’s also just a fun person to spend time with — we’ve greatly enjoyed making her one of our first Whidbey friends.”
