“Rebecca was THE BEST!!! She never pressured us or tried to rush us into a purchase. We were relocating from another state and buying a house here and selling our old house at the same time. She was flexible with schedule. She knew the areas very well. She was not only the realtor who helped us find a dream house and finally moved in smoothly, but also helped us familiar with neighborhood as a friend. She was incredibly attentive, and knowledgeable throughout our buying process. She readily answered my many questions even well into the evening. Her professionalism and attentiveness was extremely helpful to us during the process of negotiation. It was wonderful and comfortable to work with Rebecca. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area”

I measure my success in the satisfaction of my clients. I began my experience in sales in 1989 with a national insurance provider. For 11 years I worked in customer service and sales and was awarded with ‘Top 10’ honors. My real estate roots go back to 1991 when I purchased my first investment property. I quickly realized the financial rewards of making a sound real estate investment and was determined to learn more about the industry. Today I am a top producer among my peers, my strongest asset being the top notch service I deliver to my valued clientele. My greatest reward comes when my clients tell me how happy they are with their purchase.

“Debbie helped me in 2014 when I wanted to find out the value of our home. We couldn’t get the price we needed then, as home values hadn’t recovered since 2009, so I held off. Then in 2017 I had to sell, and it was going to need to be a short sale as the house needed a lot of work and the market still wasn’t up to the level we bought it for in 2005. This was a short sale, with A LOT of issues with the house, and a tenant. Debbie really worked through so many issues with me, to get this house sold. She has great knowledge and connections and knew a short sale specialist that helped work through all the legalities with the bank. Debbie kept on showing the property and working through many many ups and downs with me, and potential buyers, and the tenants. I admire her perseverance and knowledge….I hope she never has to go through so many problems with another sale, but she is an excellent realtor and I HIGHLY recommend her.”

“We have used Holli to purchase and sell our first home, and now again to go through the process of buying our second home. She is top notch. She is professional, courteous, ready to fight for what you want and need, and overall the person you want in your corner. This time around it took us a while to find the right place, and saw way more houses than we wanted to, but she was patient and understanding the whole time- we never felt pressured. All the way until closing she made us feel like the only clients she had, and at this point we’ll never work with anyone but her. If you’re looking to buy or sell, Holli is definitely who you want to work with!”
