Back on the Market, A Realtor’s Guide to Love and Life


Everyone loves real estate. Whether you are a buyer, seller, renter, or agent, we are all connected through our homes. But what makes a home? Is it a place or a person? Back on the Market is a Realtors’ guide to life, love, and dating and the multitude of challenges that come with it all.

Through her humor and quick wit, she connects common real estate terms to everyday life, making Back on the Market a fun and unforgettable read. After seven years of marriage, Holly found herself ā€˜falling out of contract,ā€ as a newly divorced woman reluctantly facing the prospect of being ā€œback on the market.ā€ She understands that life is transactional, whether it’s a business decision or those we spend our time with, so she took her skills as a master real estate agent and applied everything she knew to getting her life back.

Between 2009 and 2011, she sold out the project while setting Chelsea’s highest price per square foot to date. She later led another record-breaking success at 10 Madison Square West, achieving an $850 million sellout—30% above projections.

"Holly is not only the best realtor in town, but she is also a great friend, she is also a wonderful mother, in her case to twin boys. I have known Holly now for 2 years, and my family and I love working with her for our real estate needs in NYC. She and her team really have a personal touch with true genuine interest in your needs and concerns, and that made all the difference with me. Plus, she knows the market super well, with over 20 years of professional and personal experience.ā€- D.S.

"I've been living in the city for the last ten years, and working with Holly was one of the least stressful experiences I've had with someone in real estate. I highly recommend her to everyone I know. What I found in my experience working with her is that I can really trust her. Holly looked out for my best interests the entire time, and never let her own take precedence. She was concerned with my needs, and I felt like that care demonstrated a quality of honesty that's rare in New York. I hired Holly again to help me purchase a space in Tribeca." - Todd R.

"Since we purchased our home with her four years ago, Holly has been completely loyal to us. She has continued to work hard for us and answer any questions we have without a deal on the table, and I think that speaks to her credit. She loves the real estate business, and she's very good at what she does. Holly's patience has always impressed us. We highly recommend Holly to anyone in the market to buy or sell. She works hard for her clients, and I couldn't ask for more than that." - K.F.

"Holly's honesty is rare in New York. I'm glad to have found an agent with her professionalism." - Jeff W. "Holly's patience is unsurpassed, and her understanding of the industry was an integral part of making sure my purchase was easy and quick." - Adriana L.

"Holly is a tremendous broker. Her knowledge, diligence, and abilities as a personal adviser were invaluable to my experience. Holly always had the right perspective on our transactions. Her no-pressure approach to the whole process was greatly refreshing. I found Holly's knowledge of the marketplace to be outstanding. Her patience was unsurpassed, and her understanding of the industry was an integral part of making sure my purchase was easy, quick, and entirely private." - D.T.

"Holly negotiated an amazing deal for my growing family, and her personal touch in all three of our transactions made a world of difference." - Katarina P.

"My husband works in property development, so we've worked with a lot of realtors in the past. Holly stands out in the way she genuinely cares for her clients. She's completely honest, and her focus is on her clients' well-being. She's truly a diamond in the rough, and we highly recommend her." - H.B.

"When my family wanted to upsize our home, Holly found a pre-construction building for us and came up with a great idea. She proposed that we combine two condominiums on the blueprint level, and she helped to design a floor plan that would utilize the space as effectively as possible. She then negotiated these conditions with the developers and was able to come through with her idea. I think a lot of brokers can find a home for their clients, but to find one who can perform this sort of negotiation, especially in a hot market, is remarkable. At the same time, Holly helped us to sell our old home. She understood that the move wasn't just a financial transaction, but a physical and emotional one. I could really trust her, and I'd absolutely use her again if I decided to ever sell this space. Holly was accessible, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable she treated me like she treated her high-end clients." - Beth A.

"Holly is a highly experienced agent and the recipient of many awards. Her delightful personality, combined with an ability to narrow down the options to a manageable set of choices, makes her a wonderful broker. She's also a personal investor in Manhattan residential real estate." - Buyer | Seller
