We asked Holly to sell our home in Arlington Heights, IL. We have bought / sold a number of homes over the years and Holly was the best data driven selling agent we have ever worked with. All of the information that she provided us gave us a crystal clear picture of what to expect at every turn. Given her knowledge of the area, the data that she was able to use to maximize timing and our selling price, we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell a home. If we were to buy and sell again in IL, she would be our first call.She made the entire process extremely simple and we literally did not have to worry about any part of the process. She had us the whole way. If you are doing what we did and researching reviews to find a real estate agent, you can stop looking. We found Holly through Zillow reviews and we are both so happy that we did.

Holly Kapsa Priestley is THE BEST! No, really: she worked with my wife and I while we were out of state, answered all my stupid questions without making me feel stupid, did many showings including one marathon Saturday where we saw 8 or 9 properties in a row, and cheered us on through a few strikeouts before helping us hit a home run and closing on the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood. Ill be honest: I dont think Ive EVER been as stressed out in my entire life as I was during the home buying process, but through it all Holly has been a source of cool, collected reasoning. She was our trusted advisor that helped us to navigate the sometimes choppy waters of an intense housing market during the spring and summer of 2021 into something that felt, more or less, like smooth sailing. We simply could not have done it without Holly. Additionally, every one of her referrals knocked it out of the park! The home inspector, mortgage lender, and legal team that she referred were all amazing and together with Holly at the helm made for a well-oiled machine. In fact, thanks to Holly we found a new lender that was significantly more responsive and easy to work with than our original lender, which is one of those things that helped to make the experience much less stressful. I also want to call out that Holly has a great eye for health and safety, which my wife and I really appreciated since we have four young children and our previous realtor never warned us about the issues with lead paint in our old 1915 home! With Holly, I had no such worries or concerns that we would once again find ourselves dealing with a massive headache or issue that could harm our children. Weve been so grateful to work with Holly and we strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

In one word: professional. Real estate, and this market in particular, can bring out the best and worst in people. Michele was an absolute professional throughout our entire process, even when others didnt treat her with the same respect or professionalism. She navigated us through the process, educated us, fought for what should be ours, and in doing so helped us close on our dream home. If you are looking for someone who is responsive, skillful, even-keeled, and helpful, then Michele is who you want as your Real Estate Professional.

Our experience with Amy was excellent from start to finish. Amy was responsive to all of our needs and concerns. She researched our market and got a great price for our home. She was efficient and cared about our time and resources. Amy is a top notch realtor that would use again to sell or purchase a home.

Holly is absolutely fantastic. It felt like looking for a house with your really knowledgeable and professional friend. She goes above and beyond to help you find a house that meets your criteria and finds gems in a truly crazy market. She advocates for you and provides honest advice about what she sees in each and every home. We love Holly and will be using her in the future!

Holly and her entire team is by far the most superior and top notch firm in town. I had a bad experience with a different agent which landed us in a lemon of a home. When it was time for us to move, I wanted to be sure we didnt make the same mistake twice so set out looking for a an assertive, intellectual and data driven agent that would have our best interests at heart. Holly used real time data to help us make decisions which ultimately helped us sell our home fast and move us forward towards our forever home. Holly was responsive, prompt and did way more than she had to but her passion and dedication shined through and through. I feel lucky to have met Holly and worked with her - would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell - she is top notch all the way!

I knew we were in excellent hands when we decided to have Monica Biewer sell our home! She is extremely responsive and kept us updated throughout the entire process!

Holly is truly an amazing real estate agent. She had thorough knowledge of the neighborhood and comps and knew the market very well. She stayed in communication with us throughout the process and made the sale of our house seamless. We were really happy we had the fortune of having Holly Connors as our home sale real estate agent!

Michele was fantastic in helping us stage our house and get it sold quickly. Between the marketing, staging, and advertising we were able to bring in multiple offers the first weekend the house was on the market. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Holly is a consummate professional with an impressive network. Her staff is enthusiastic and expert. She speaks and acts with confidence and assurance, and is a very hard worker. She is able to refer experts for repairs and professional services. Any time we reached the smallest obstacle, Holly offered an immediate and effective solution. Holly is very generous in her support, including providing furniture and bed covers to assist with staging. I am convinced that I got the best price for my house and sold it so quickly because of Hollys support. I would recommend her without any reservations.

Holly has everything you need in a real estate agent from her discerning eye to help you find a great home to her patience and knowledge. She is an expert in the field and a leader and innovator amongst her peers. If you’re a buyer like me, you look at the surface of a home, but Holly was there as a safety net pointing out the things I could potentially miss: previous water damage, Inconvenient layouts, etc. Her vast experience in Arlington Heights is second to none. She provides professional, reliable referrals to get your home ready for sale. Holly has boundless drive and will never rest on her laurels; she’s always working to get her clients into the right home or to get their home sold. The best part of working with Holly is that she’s fun!

Amy was exactly what I needed when I listed my condo. She knew the village and she knew the market. Amy made herself available and responded to my communications quickly. She went above and beyond my expectations when she took care of numerous tasks on my behalf when I was out of town. I am delighted to have Amy as a resource, helping me when I have a need in real estate

Holly is the BEST! The process of selling our home of 37 years and moving to another state was daunting, even overwhelming. Yet Holly patiently, knowledgeably and caringly helped us through each step of the process. She gave us excellent advice on preparing, staging and pricing our home, brought well-qualified buyers to view our home (yes, even during Covid quarantine), communicated honestly, openly and often regarding buyer feedback, helped us with negotiation details and worked with us each step of the way through closing. We were surely sad to leave our long-time home, but we made a GREAT decision when we chose Holly Connors as our sellers agent! Thank you, Holly.

Great experience with Amy, she is always available, prompt in handling issues, good quality presentation and above all a consummate professional.

I have worked with Holly and her team on many successful transactions for both Buyers and Sellers. Market wise and street smart, Holly gives her all for her clients. Expect great results with the Get Burbed team!

Holly Sold our home quickly and found us the perfect house before it was even on the market. She knows the Pioneer Park neighborhood better than anyone and was a lot of fun to work with!

Holly is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her craft and her service levels top notch. She was a great guide in our quest to find a home and was patient with us as our search took longer than most. When we found the home we wanted, her experience and negotiation skills helped us secure it and get us to the closing. We came to rely on her answers and opinions for many questions that we had during the process. We were fortunate to have worked with Holly and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

Holly Kapsa did such an amazing job to help me find the right house. She was very knowledgeable and guided me well through the entire process. She also took close note on determining what things I liked in a house and never tried to push me into looking at anything else. Overall, Im very happy with @Properties and Holly is just such an amazing realtor!

Holly Connors is impressive. She knows the market well and was able to accurately assess the value of our home and sell it quickly. Holly and her team are efficient, technologically ahead of the curve and very professional. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to sell their home.

Holly is very knowledgeable. She was great to work with and gave us very useful advice when making our home purchase. We had very specific criteria and she narrowed down our search to relevant homes, while still showing us options for comparison.

Before hiring Holly, I had been with 4 other realtors who were unable to sell my house. Time after time, they were getting me nowhere. However, once Holly came into the picture, everything changed. I was having some inspection issues and Holly did an amazing job getting those solved. Holly totally rebranded my home and made it really attractive to potential buyers! The marketing was outstanding! Holly is an incredible communicator and was super responsive to all of the questions/concerns that I had. She got my house sold in less than 2 weeks, very close to the listing price!! I would recommend everyone work with Holly!

I cant say enough good things about Holly. I have used 5 agents throughout my home buying and selling processes and she was head and shoulders above the rest. Many times it feels like that agents arent working for you. You find the homes you want to see, you research the neighborhoods, you find the inspectors and repairmen to provide estimates. Holly is completely different, she did it all and was fully engaged in the process from the start to the closing and was a true partner in this process. Finding the Home: Holly used her vast network to find a home in the perfect location even before it hit the MLS. Since we were looking in very specific areas I thought our search process was going to take months, but Holly was able to find a home that met all of our criteria only after 1 week! Part of the quick search process can be attributed to good timing, but I firmly believe that without Hollys network we would not have found this home. We were the first people in and locked into a contract that day preventing us from getting into a bidding war. Inspection: Throughout the process, Hollys experience and expertise were invaluable. We ran into multiple inspection items and Holly guided us through each step. I mentioned that she was a true partner and that showed during the inspection process. Items that were identified by the inspector, she readily had a contact to remedy the issue and was texting and calling during the inspection to schedule an estimate and get a quote. Times where we were unable to meet the contractor, she showed up and clearly communicated back to us the underlying issue and what was needed to resolve the issue. Appraisal: We ran into a significant appraisal issue during our home purchase. Holly was able to run us through all the different scenarios which helped us better understand how cooperative or aggressive we needed to be with the sellers during the various back and forth conversations we had with the sellers. We ultimately were able to resolve the appraisal issue with the support and guidance of Holly. Negotiations: I think with any sale or purchase of a home there will be times where the negotiations get a bit intense. During our negotiations we were able to communicate to Holly our desired outcome and she provided candid feedback on whether we were overreaching or well within reason. Once we aligned with her on our desired outcome, she went to work talking with the sellers agents, the sellers attorney, and mortgage broker to find the best outcome for us. Holly left no stone unturned and was extremely responsive to our emails and texts. Closing: The closing went fairly smoothly and Holly was there the entire time answering any questions we had. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Holly and would highly recommend her.

Holly was a SHE-RO who saved the day selling my mothers house pre-listing, seamlessly - truly without any hassles let-a-lone problems all while diplomatically kept the peace in my family. Above and beyond professional. Ever so grateful!

Outstanding service. Gracious & understanding during a hard time.Thank you so much!

Holly was fun to work with, she did her magic and we sold the first day of listing, and for a great price!Thank you so much!

They lower prices of listing properties to fill their portfolio and get a deal. Definitely, it is not a win win strategy for their client. Beware!

We are so pleased that Holly was able to steer us in the right direction to get our condo. There was a bidding war and fortunately for us, Holly knew exactly how we should respond!

Holly is simply the best. She is the agent you want!

My husband and I embarked on our home buying journey this spring. We had been through this process before and we thought we knew what to expect. In times past, we had had a realtor, sure…but we did all “the work” ourselves…the research on the MLS, the price comps, researching inspection issues. I admittedly had thought of realtors as a necessary evil in the home buying process– we needed them to be there to take us to see the homes we had researched ourselves, but that was it.This time around, we received a recommendation to use Holly Connors to buy in Arlington Heights, as she was knowledgeable about the area. Turns out, we had not realized what we had been missing in a realtor until we met Holly. It was clear from our first meeting that Holly was different. We filled out a list of things we were looking for in a new home as we had in the past, but Holly took the time to understand the why of our requests, and to understand us as a family. She posed questions i hadnt even considered -what kind of neighborhood did I want for my daughter, what kind of interactions did I want with my neighbors, what was important to our family in a community, did we see this next move as a “forever move”?Her knowledge of the community, as well as the fine details of home construction were clear from the beginning; It was not something she was showing off, it was something she was confident in. While I was accustomed to having realtors trying to convince me the home we were viewing was something I should love when I didn’t, Holly would instead look around at a home and tell us “It’s nice, but we can do better for your money. I want you to love it”. It was a relief, and amazing to feel like this person was truly a partner with us in this process. She understood how big of a decision this was for us and wanted the best for us.Our search was a short one, thanks to Holly. We were moving from the city, and in addition to all the home features we were looking for, perhaps the most important one to us was walkability. We wanted to be close to a community downtown area, and to the Metra train. In the first week of working with Holly, she found something perfect for our family. While part of this is certainly luck, Holly’s connections got us an early viewing of this house before it hit the MLS, and even before other early viewings of this home. She pushed hard on our behalf, and got our foot in the door.While the search was short and easy, the rest of the process was anything but. The next 60 days were a whirlwind of difficult inspection negotiations, an extremely low appraisal (largely at the fault of the seller’s agent who was woefully unprepared), switching lenders and a range of emotions from the seller and their team of agents and lawyers. We were stressed, and often not the best versions of ourselves. Throughout this process, Holly was truly incredible. She was relentless on our behalf. She called in favors throughout her network of contractors, inspectors, lenders – a network that we sorely needed in our process (Consequently, when we met each person in her network, it was clear that they appreciated Holly as much as we did). She occupied our energetic 3 year old during our inspection so we could focus on details. When we were at our peak stress levels, she commiserated with us about how difficult this process was, at the same time reassuring us that the deal would happen. She even happily arranged visits to rental options when we felt unsure if our deal would go through – and even in this scenario, she was trying to negotiate monthly rent on our behalf!In the end, everything worked out and we are in our “forever home”. I believe that if we had had any other realtor, it would not have worked out. Holly was ruthless on our behalf. She left no stone unturned in difficult negotiations; she was honest & supportive throughout the entire process. She thinks of her clients as real people and not just another paycheck. I will be talking about how fantastic she is to anyone who will listen!
