About Us

Hillary brings a rare combination of deep local real estate knowledge, design sensibility, an analytic approach, and decades of transactional experience to her work in Napa Valley and Sonoma. With deep roots in Northern California and nearly three decades of real estate experience across brokerage, banking, and commercial real estate investment, she is known for helping clients make informed decisions and successfully close transactions.

As a long-time Bay Area resident, Hillary has an intimate understanding of what makes life in Napa Valley so distinctive. Hillary has lived in San Francisco, Marin County, and Napa Valley. She attended The Hamlin School in San Francisco, Justin-Siena High School in Napa, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of California, Berkeley. She appreciates the importance of indoor-outdoor living, thoughtful architecture, and connection to the land. Her clients value her insight into how design, setting, and lifestyle come together to create homes are sophisticated, peaceful retreats within Napa Valley’s close-knit, refined community.

Hillary has been closing high-value real estate transactions since 1997. Her professional background includes work with highly respected Bay Area firms, including First Republic Bank, Prado Group, AMB Property Corporation (now Prologis), and DivcoWest. These experiences shaped her ability to navigate complex transactions, assess risk, and structure deals strategically in changing market conditions.

Hillary applies market analytics, land use knowledge, and risk assessment to help clients make informed decisions. She evaluates properties through both a financial and design lens, considering land fundamentals, lifestyle attributes, development potential, and resale positioning, while also understanding how clients and buyers love living in the Wine Country. Her keen eye allows her to identify what elevates a property, whether preparing a home for market or helping a buyer recognize a property’s potential.

Hillary lives in Napa Valley with her husband and their indulged rescue dog. When she is not assisting her clients, she enjoys traveling to visit her college-aged sons, enjoying our extraordinary local restaurants and music venues, practicing yoga,and  hiking the Napa Valley trails. She is passionate about contributing to the community she calls home, both professionally and personally.

Hillary Ryan Group Marketing Director, Alexa Weber, is passionate about positioning properties to sell utilizing innovative and effective methods that are at the forefront of real estate marketing. Before joining, Weber advised 150+ real estate professionals at Compass in Napa and Sonoma counties as the regional marketing advisor with a focus on digital advertising and graphic design. There, she specialized in leveraging the Google Display Network’s YouTube Ads, Smart Ads, and Display ads, as well as Facebook and Instagram ads, to design custom campaigns for agents based on their individual business goals and budgets. This exceptional training environment allowed Weber to distill the most successful advertising methods and apply them to a singular brand. She is motivated by the fusion of design and technology to position homes to sell across varying price points in a competitive market through the use of photography, social media, and display and search advertising.

 

At Hillary Ryan Group, Alexa appreciates each opportunity to engage with clients and the local Napa community. She strives to support clients’ needs and understands the uniqueness of each client’s real estate goal. Challenges are met with a solution-driven mindset and an understanding of the attention-to-detail every transaction deserves. 

 

With community at the heart of her endeavors, Alexa prioritizes fostering meaningful connections across Wine Country through volunteering with Redwood Empire Food Bank, Leukemia Lymphoma Society, and Farm to Pantry. Weber discovered these meaningful organizations while studying at Sonoma State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in photography.

 

Outside of real estate, Alexa nurtures her love affair with the arts through photography, interior design, mixed-media art, travel, sustainable fashion, yoga, and, of course, wine tasting.
