Hillary Barr

Hillary Barr is the CEO of R New York, one of the fastest-growing real estate brokerages in New York City. Founded in 2006 under the name Charles Rutenberg Realty, the firm operates a 100% commission model that has grown the brokerage to over 500 agents across the New York metropolitan area. She also leads Total Israel, her Israel-focused real estate venture.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, she attended the Yeshiva of Flatbush before earning her degree from the University of Florida. She writes for The Olam on the intersection of New York and Israeli real estate — the U.S. capital flowing into Israeli property, the Israeli investors holding New York assets, the structural questions facing dual-market families, and the philanthropy networks that bind New York Jewish business life to Israel.
