History
After graduating from Episcopal High School in Alexandria Virginia, Gilliam attended the University of North Carolina and graduated in 1978 with a B.A. in Economics. In 1979 he became a resident of Raleigh and began his real estate career. In 1987, he partnered with Joe Hodge to form Hodge & Kittrell Realtors.

Passion
During Gilliam’s spare time, he enjoys fly fishing both fresh and salt water and even builds custom fly rods as a hobby. He is an avid tennis player and enjoys cold January mornings duck hunting with his Labrador retriever and friends. A day on the water hunting or fishing with his two sons is a day well spent. He and his wife Meredith enjoy travelling and have recently spent vacation time exploring old Europe.
Accolades
Gilliam has achieved a number of significant professional accomplishments including his being selected as the Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors (RRAR) Realtor of the year in 2006 and his election into the RRAR Hall of Fame in 2012. Other achievements include serving as a President of the RRAR in 1997 and over 10 years serving as the Chairman of the Professional Standards Committee, which oversees professional conduct among the Realtor community.
Work Ethic
Gilliam firmly believes that luxury is an experience and not a price point. In the constantly evolving residential real estate industry, he recognizes that the fundamental trait that defines a great agent comes down to one word: Relationships. Buying or selling a home is a complex transaction made even more challenging in today’s current chaotic markets. Gilliam will show you that the most effective way to succeed is to first understand your exact situation in detail, and then devise a strategy to accomplish your needs. Gilliam’s extensive sales and training background has taught him a valuable lesson - always put the client first, listen to them and be their advocate.
