Meet Hailey Ditullio
People don’t just end up in real estate. They earn their way into it.
I’ve known Hailey Ditullio for a long time. Long before real estate.
I met her over a decade ago when she was a young mom trying to figure life out, doing the best she could with a lot on her plate. Watching her grow into the person and professional she is today has been something to see.
Hailey didn’t stumble into real estate. She earned her place in it.
What I respect most about her is how seriously she takes the responsibility. She’s organized, on top of details, and genuinely cares about the people she works with. When Hailey is involved, things feel calmer. Clearer. More handled.
She focuses on residential homes because she understands what they mean. These aren’t just listings. They’re places where families grow, routines form, and memories are made. She approaches every deal with that perspective, and it shows.
She’s upbeat and charming, but never careless. Honest without being blunt. And she doesn’t rely on gimmicks or pressure to get results. She listens. She explains. She handles the behind-the-scenes work so her clients don’t carry the stress.
If someone I care about was buying or selling a home, Hailey is the person I’d tell them to call.
If you’re at that stage and want someone who will treat it like it matters, reach out and have a conversation with her. Sometimes the right referral makes all the difference.
Call Hailey!

Taste of the Parish Brings Community Together for Men’s Renewal
Taste of the Parish was more than a fundraiser. It was a full-room reminder of what parish life can look like when people show up together with purpose.
Guests enjoyed a true “taste” of parish life, with dishes prepared by ministries and volunteers across the community, plus lively raffles, major prize giveaways, and music that kept the energy up all night.
Most of all, the event reflected gratitude. Gratitude for the Renewal committees, parish ministries, volunteers, donors, and everyone who continues to support a program that quietly changes lives.
Taste of the Parish showed what happens when community, generosity, and faith come together in one room.
