Holly Hamilton's Reviews & Ratings

Holly Hamilton

    • Holly was a godsend for me and my husband. As first time buyers, we had no clue what we were doing. Holly does her research and tries to get you the best deal on a home. She has wonderful instinct and is seasoned at her job. What puts Holly on the other side of competent to phenomenal, is her manner. She got to know me and my husband and took care of us in a way I can only describe as how our southern auntie would treat us. She helped us with all of the mishaps that came up around closing. Holly is the only realtor I will trust when reselling my home. Shes a gem!

    • We were very fortunate to meet Holly and retain her services to purchase our beach home in Kiawah Island. Holly was diligent and patient in helping us find the place we wanted even to the point she was willing to give up her commission to refer us to Kiawah Island Real Estate where outside agents are not allowed to represent the buyer. We respected Holly so much we decided to pass on any properties where she could not represent us and I am very glad we did as we found the perfect villa in the end. We are very happy to call Holly a friend, and I would highly recommend you retain her services for any of your real estate needs. Top notch all the way around!

    • Holly made buying our vacation home super easy! She was the sellers realtor when we called, and since we were from out of town and didnt have a realtor, she agreed to be dual agent. But by all our experience she was our sole interest because she balanced it so well! She made us buying from out of state under different laws and process work smoothly. We literally did the whole thing long distance - Holly made it seem like we were there! She helped us way beyond the contract and closing including all the due diligence and intricacies. Even after close she made sure we got settled and had what we needed. We wouldnt be sitting in our vacation house right now writing this review without Holly. Thank you!

      - Lance H Spencer, Kiawah, SC (Zillow)
    • Holly has successfully represented us buying 2 properties and selling 1 over the past 3 years.She is a real pleasure (great and friendly personality) to work with - very knowledgeable in ALL areas of real estate including the market, negotiation of deal terms, sales contracts, contingencies and required consultants. She's also very accessible and responsive (which in today's hot market is not only important but not always the case) and has excellent follow-up.Her background in law is apparent and helpful as well in the attention to detail that she brings to ensure that the process stays on track with her clients' best interest.I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home to get the most value combined with a very professional, friendly and fun experience! A 10 out of 10.

    • We want to share how lucky we are to have found Holly Hamilton as our broker agent. She is absolutely exceptional at her profession and stands over and above the best-of-the-best. Coming from a competitive real estate market in our home town in California we have had the privilege of working with a top 0.05% realtor in the country. Holly Hamilton sets a new bar for a premier top agent in our experience. What makes Holly stand out is her ability to be 5 steps ahead of us, anticipate our needs (which have flip flopped and we have thrown her curve balls along the ways in what we are looking for in terms of property). She has caught all the balls with savvy aplomb. She has a unique ability to play the role of coach, counselor and friend.

    • I highly recommend Holly Hamilton as both a buyers and a sellers agent! (I have used her for both a house purchase and a house sale). She is very knowledgeable about the Charleston area and real estate in general. She is response and attentive to detail, which are great assets in a realtor.

      - Caroline Wallace
    • Holly just helped my buy my first home! I couldnt be happier. From start to finish she made the entire process easy and stress free. She showed me tons of houses to help me narrow down my must haves. She was always available for a phone call or a showing, and got things done very quickly. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy a home in the Charleston area.

      - D. Hemmer, Charleston, SC
    • Holly is an simply an amazing realtor! She and I connected a year before we sold our New Jersey house through a friend who knew my husband and I wanted to retire to the Charleston area, and we could not have had a happier experience!In the months prior to our NJ house selling, Holly kept us abreast of various neighborhoods as well as what was on the market. Once our house sold and we were in a position to buy, we drove down to look for our new home. With our check list in hand; Holly really listened, showing us a number of neighborhoods; all demonstrating she understood what we were looking for. Additionally, when we did identify our new home, she expertly guided us through the entire process, from offer stage to closing. Finally, aside from possessing an engaging personality, innate honesty, intelligence and knowledge of the area; what impressed us most is that she genuinely cared about helping us find the right house. We love our new home and Holly has our highest recommendation!

      - Michaele Hilling, SC
    • Holly is an extremely professional agent who we worked with for almost 2 years before we were ready to make the move from North Carolina to Charleston. Throughout the two year process she kept us informed of new listings and was very patient with us. Once we made the move and decided on a house she was terrific and very responsive to all our questions. The negotiation process is where she shined! The negotiations were a bit complicated and Holly masterfully negotiated the contract. Being new to the area she also was very helpful in providing the names of builders, architects, lenders, insurance and even restaurant recommendations! Would highly recommend Holly!

    • Holly has been so helpful with the purchase of my home. She has been kind and patient to explain the terms, address my concerns, and any processes which I did not understand. She held my best interest in all her work. She was always professional and kept me updated on every aspect of the process. She went out of her way many times to accommodate me and was so encouraging. What a great person to work with

      - Carolyn Kauth
    • Holly and I have worked together and rolled up our sleeves on Junior League projects so I was not surprised that one evening when I mentioned I needed a new place to call home and art studio, she had options in my inbox the very next morning. She listened to what I needed in a home/studio downtown. I ultimately decided to stay put for now but she will be my first call when I do move. If you need an agent who really listens AND acts, call Holly. I am

    • Holly's real estate connections are not limited to Charleston, SC. I was ready to sell my home in Rocky Mount, NC. The agent she referred to me listed it within days of that conversation and had a ratified contract in hand within five days of listing. Call her for referrals anywhere you need a sale. She has connections everywhere!

      - Julian Winters
    • I met Holly after inquiring about a home on Zillow. She responded quickly and with great interest, sincere inquiry and shared her knowledge of the property & area. I then met up with Holly at said property. She was prompt, respectful and had a few good ideas on how to improve the property, use the property and negotiate the sale. I chose not to move forward with that property. I contacted her again shortly thereafter. She immediately set up a viewing of another property, sent the appropriate agency forms via email, and showed me the property. Again, I did not choose to move forward with that one ... but since Holly took the time & interest in my personal needs, she is on the look-out for that "needle in the haystack" property for me. I hope to hear from her someday soon :)

    • Holly is flat-out the best at her job. I cannot properly express in writing how capable, hard-working, savvy, and transparent she is. I never had to repeat myself to Holly-- I told her what I was looking for once, and we were on the exact same page from that point forward... She is highly intelligent, and intuitive in a way that few people are. Holly was also willing to put up with my being a first-time (and therefore perhaps somewhat quixotic) homebuyer and wanting to look at some properties that were in less-than-ideal conditions. She is somehow a "luxury" agent that will fit most budgets while being completely unpretentious... That is to say, Holly makes everyone feel special. She is a total ray of light. I literally could not have bought my home without her.

      - Ian Wheeler
    • I had a wonderful first time home-buying experience with Holly! She was able to answer all of my numerous questions and was easy to get in touch with. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house in the Charleston area

      - Caroline Wallace
    • I was coming from overseas to look at homes in the Charleston and Kiwah Island areas. Holly spent time talking to me before my arrival about my needs and then spent considerable time taking me to various properties which she felt were a good match and investment opportunity. Although I decided not to buy in that region, I would certainly recommend Holly to anyone interested in the Charleston area.

    • My wife and i purchased a second home with Holly Hamilton. We were very pleased with her knowledge of the area and the whole house buying process. We expressed what we were looking for and she came through with many options. She was a joy to work with from start to finish, always ready to answer our questions

      - Todd Taylor
    • We absolutely loved working with Holly. She was great at finding properties that fit our budget and criteria, and she was so patient and understanding as we visited home after home. She pointed out things we didn't think of as first time home shoppers, ensuring we made the best choices for our family. If you want a realtor who feels like a knowledgable, trustworthy friend, Holly is your girl.

      - Hallet Graham
    • We worked with Holly recently to purchase our new home. When we started the process, we weren't exactly even sure what we were looking for. Holly took the time to help us look at various options and helped us collect our ideas. When we started to narrow our search, Holly prepared numerous showings and kept us organized. She was really helpful in helping find listings, weigh our various options, and navigate the process. Holly was also helpful in thinking out of the box. She was able to help us envision ourselves in many homes.When it came time to make an offer Holly was not only helpful in her advice, but also in negotiating a great deal for us. She had fantastic references for insurance providers and financial resources, and she had a wealth of knowledge about the process.Whenever I contacted Holly, she was 100% engaged and responsive. Throughout our entire process, Holly was knowledgeable, organized, prescriptive, responsive, helpful, and an all around joy to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend Holly to anyone looking to purchase a home.
