About Holly

My transition into real estate came about from the desire and commitment to achieve the absolute best outcome for my sellers and buyers through care and genuine communication. It’s at the heart of everything I do. My career in the industry began in 2008, I was looking for a change having done all that I wanted to achieve in my previous life as a fashion designer and wholesaler. I had just moved back from living overseas with my young family and was looking for a home. I found the process extremely challenging. The real estate market had peaked in the previous years, much like we’ve experienced in recent times and the global financial crisis had hit. I found that the agents that I came across at that time were mostly lazy and didn’t engage with me. So I decided to throw myself right in and offer some energy and enthusiasm to the industry and I haven’t looked back. In my first year, I won a Master Club Award and took out Queensland Rookie of the year with the brand that I was with. I credit my early success in real estate to a thirst for learning and a genuine love of people, as well as possessing tenacity and drive. There is nothing I love more than helping people connect to their homes and communities, at every stage of their lives. I thrive on working with clients to promote their homes and I believe a deep involvement in the marketing process creates a stronger connection, benefiting the sale of the property and the outcome for my sellers. My dedicated team works diligently to deliver the latest marketing innovations to capture the widest audience of buyers as well as provide the highest level of service. Clients that chose to work with me say they value my warm, genuine approach as well as my reputation for achieving extraordinary prices. I hope that I can do the same for you.

Review Holly
over 1 year ago
I was warned and should have listened. Don’t be fooled by five star reviews. There’s negatives too.

Terrible experience so much so I had to tell Holly must end a phone conversation based on her unscrupulous, rude and aggressive manner. I would not liaise with her anymore, only to deal with her boss/Principal, so we could end the horrid experience. I will happily share with others comprehensive details so they don’t get fooled by chest beating of “elite” awards. There’s ways to be humble and ways that you should not speak to sellers to push them over. All talk to get you on board then completely ignored for first two weeks after signing. We had to contact to try and get information on open home dates and to schedule the promised face to face meetings. We constantly were reminded of Holly’s chest beating of own awards, but no substance when it came to my property. It’s about volume selling and you become a number and no genuine engagement or personal touches as detailed in sales proposal. Auction failed, way short of expectations of us as a seller and also what Holly anticipated. We didn’t get registered bidders we were told of prior to commencing - a total farce. We were placed in a tiny back office room with three agents pressuring us to sell after the auction paused, however we stood firm to pass in. Then the rude phone call saying I had emotional attachment to the home and not ready to move on (with my fiancé). I felt belittled and pressured. I then received personal attacks and verbal swearing then I said “no more”. This was becoming a bullying experience. I ceased any further liaison with Holly for the full settlement period. I would not have put my home on the market if I wasn’t ready to sell after 18 years, and knee problem whereby I could not comfortably manage steps of a Queenslander. A horrid experience. To fellow sellers, do research and don’t just read the five star reviews - there’s negative reviews that are not published. It should have been a joyous time for me moving on in life, yet tarnished by a greedy preying unscrupulous shark.

We would highly recommend Holly

We would highly recommend Holly to our family, friends, and anyone selling their property! Holly went above and beyond for us and achieved an awesome result, for significantly more than we had first thought was achievable. Selling your first home is an emotional and scary time for anyone, but Holly made it so easy with her unrivalled enthusiasm and professionalism, providing great advice, and by being so contactable when we had questions. We couldn't have asked for a better agent than Holly!

Working with Holly was an absolute pleasure

Working with Holly was an absolute pleasure. I approached Holly given her outstanding reputation as an agent in my area and the result she achieved for us was nothing short of miraculous. She kept us informed, helping every step of the way. I felt at ease in “trusting the process" that Holly had everything in hand and forged through to auction. Her service was second to none! On auction night Holly was totally unflappable, stuck to the plan and achieved a truly remarkable lifechanging outcome.
