I cannot write enough about Holly's committed service to our family, residing in Northern California. We were searching for a 2nd home/investment property to spend weeks at a time in a new area of Southern California. We searched in central Orange County, but none of the results fit our criteria or budget. Holly suggested Laguna Niguel, an area we had never visited but we gave it a go with a leap of faith as the city was within 15-20 minutes of our original target city. Holly suggested listings; was punctual and professional during virtual home tours; during the entire negotiation with seller, she advocated our wishes and ultimately, we found our dream home. and we got what we needed from the sellers. She was so personable and professional, so much I felt we knew her for years. I would absolutely recommend Holly to any other buyer or seller in the market and would use her again for anoth…

We met Holly about a year ago when she was the listing agent for another property in our neighborhood. She came to our home, sipped iced tea, and provided advice about our specific house, the market, and pricing. We decided than that the time was wrong. Fast forward about nine months, when she called again to say the market had much improved and the timing was substantially better. She was right. We listed our home of 33 years with her and it sold in 17 days. Holly was on the ball. She replied to virtually every email within an hour, even if it was after suppertime. She was prompt, knowledgeable but most of all consultative. Though she offered constant advice, she simultaneously made it clear it was our decision. For example, the all-cash buyer had a laundry list of home improvements and Holly advised, "this is a negotiation and you don't have to do everything on that list." She was rig…

She was right and helped us push back .In the end, we got very close to our asking price and naturally had challenges during the 45 day escrow, none of those challenges came from Holly. Five stars, start to finish.
