Loyalty isn't a slogan — it's how I show up.
I'm Hilary Kilgore — your West Knox agent for the whole story, not just the closing. The first house. The upgrade when the second baby comes. The lake place when the kids leave for college.
Everything you wish a local would tell you before you packed a single box — which West Knox neighborhood actually fits your life, plus schools, taxes, commute, and a 90-day moving plan. Free, and updated for 2026.

I'm not your agent for this house.
I'm your agent for the renovation question two years out, the referral when your sister moves in from Atlanta, the lake place when the kids leave for college.
Loyalty isn't a slogan — it's how I show up.
I'm a Knoxville REALTOR® at Keller Williams Signature, working West Knox most days — Farragut, Sequoyah Hills, Hardin Valley, Concord — across every price point.
The first house. The upgrade when the second baby came. The lake place when the kids left for college. That's the rhythm I'm built for. The agent you choose isn't just for the closing — they're for the renovation question two years out, the referral when your sister moves in from Atlanta, the call when your daughter is ready to buy her own place.
That's the work I'm interested in.
"Where are we going for ice cream?" is the 7:15 p.m. Saturday question every Farragut parent gets all summer. After twenty West Knox summers, here are eight shops I actually drive my family to — plus our new local favorite, the just-opened Bruster's at Turkey Creek.

West Knoxville
Most of my clients land in one of these six West Knox pockets. Each one has its own personality, school district story, and price point — and I can tell you which streets in which subdivisions actually sell to the same families twice in ten years.
West Knox's established family suburb. Family-forward, with Knox County school zones and the steadiest move-up market in the metro.
Explore FarragutFort Loudoun lakefront, established estates, and the back-porch luxury lifestyle Knoxville buyers wait years to land in.
Explore Concord & NorthshoreKnoxville's cultural anchor — historic character, mid-century gems, and the Kingston Pike dining row right outside your door.
Explore BeardenWest Knox's fastest-growing community. Newer construction, Hardin Valley Academy, and the Oak Ridge science corridor at your doorstep.
Explore Hardin ValleyMature trees, a walkable town center, and one of West Knox's tightest-knit communities. Inventory is tight — most deals never list publicly.
Explore Rocky HillThe strategic center of West Knox. Five minutes from everything — and surprisingly residential once you turn off the corridor. The most underrated value in the metro.

About
Real estate, for me, has always been about the whole story — not just the closing. I started this work because I wanted to help families build something they could pass down, not chase commissions on a one-time deal.
I'm a REALTOR® at Keller Williams Signature, working alongside an exceptional team that puts community impact at the center of everything we do. Most of my clients I've known for years; many of them I've helped buy more than one home.
If you're thinking about your first house, your next house, or the lake place you've been quietly daydreaming about — that's the kind of conversation I'm built for.
Insights
Knoxville-specific guidance, neighborhood deep-dives, and the kind of advice I'd give a friend over coffee. Updated weekly.
Skipping pre-approval. Underestimating Farragut taxes. Ignoring the HOA rule that says you can't park your boat in your own driveway. Two decades of helping first-time buyers in Fox Den, Village Green, Andover, Berkeley Park, and McFee — boiled down to the seven mistakes that cost the most, and the fix for each one.
Read postIf you grew up landlocked, moving to Farragut can feel like inheriting a hobby you didn't ask for — the lake is right there, your neighbors all have boats. A newcomer's guide to the four lakes worth the haul, the public ramps and marinas around them, and the four things Tennessee expects of you before you launch.
Read postI caught the new signal at Concord and Loop blinking yellow this morning — the last step before it goes live. A hometown note on why this small, long-overdue Farragut fix is worth a little celebration.
