Agent Details

Meet Holly

Senior Broker
After joining @properties in 2002, Holly helped establish it as the leading real estate brokerage in Chicago, while helping hundreds of clients meet their housing needs—and dreams—in the northwest suburban Arlington Heights area.
 
Holly has ranked #5 in units and #6 in volume in the Chicago Association of Realtors® for 2021, sold more than $100 million in real estate in 2022 and passed the lifetime sales marker of $840 million in 2023. Known for her bluntness and transparency, Holly's dedication to client satisfaction is bolstered by an extensive network of esteemed industry professionals like contractors, attorneys, inspectors, and mortgage brokers.
 
Since 2015, Holly has become a top-volume earner by selling over $60 million annually, $843 million lifetime, in Northwest Suburban residential real estate with an average market time of 22 days, which is half the time of the 44-day average in the region. The list price to sales price ratio on those properties is 101%, tops for the Arlington Heights area as reported by MRED (01/01/2023-12/131/2023).
 
Holly has been featured in Crain's Chicago Business, Chicago Agent Magazine and Top Agent Magazine and has received several industry awards, but the recognition she most values is that her business is based almost entirely upon referrals.
 
From first-time buyers to real estate developers, Holly represents a diverse range of clients, helping sellers position their homes for top profitability, establishing personalized criteria for buyers, or navigating the area's vast array of award-winning schools. Holly's insider perspective on her native area helps clients consider neighborhood criteria like how long it takes to walk to the train, the best place for wine and tapas, or local special events.
 
Holly is dedicated to her community: she has been named Woman of The Year by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society helped raise thousands of dollars in donations as a corporate match for A Better Community for District 25.
 
She lives in the Pioneer Park neighborhood of Arlington Heights with her husband, their two children and canine companion.
