A Real Go-Getter
Holly is a real go-getter. She spares no expense for her homes, uses a professional photographer to make the listings look gorgeous. Through the sale of one home and purchase of another she was always there when I needed her and never made me feel like I was a bother with my many questions and needs. When it was time for negotiating she wasn't afraid to be aggressive. She has been at this job for a long time, this is her passion not just her career. I would highly recommend Holly. She gets the job done!

Outstanding!!!
Holly was outstanding. Holly was able to work with us so well and get us the best deal for our home. She was always available to answer questions and answer them so we could understand. She was our advocate with the loan officers and the buyer's agent also. We highly recommend her.

Extremely Knowledgeable
Holly is extremely knowledgeable of local as well as national real estate trends. This, combined with her insight on what we needed to accomplish to maximize the sale price of our home, resulted in a great overall experience. She and her staff were always responsive. I'd definitely list with Holly again.

Serious and Experienced Realtor
Holly is a serious realtor who is experienced and knows the ins and outs of the business. She was very knowledgable and gave good recommendations on what to do to sell our house. We followed her advice and the first people to view our house put in an offer for full price. We recommend her without any reservations.

Recommended by Out of State Realtors…and Us
Cason T. Bought Home in 2015:
"Holly came highly recommended by our realtor in Tennessee. She did not disappoint!! We had our sites set on Athens, AL as one of the places we would settle down. We planned our visit and once we arrived she immediately made us feel at home. She has such a bubbly personality which is truly contagious. After checking out our remaining prospects, we settled on Alabama. I will attribute our decision to Holly because she made the experience a memorable one. We had our hearts set on a specific builder (Jimmy Bryan Construction). We really liked his homes, so he put us in contact with him. She guided us through the entire process as we'd never built a custom home. She also kept us up to date as the house progressed, as we were mostly communicating long distance. She responded to my emails day and night!! Holly even took pictures as our home progressed! We credit Holly with a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience. We never could have gotten such a beautiful home without her. She has the tools and knows the industry. We were pleased with Holly and her team. She exceeded our expectations with her expertise and professionalism. We highly recommend her!"
Sold the Next Day!
Holly McDonald is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She put our house in the market and by next day, we signed paper work to accept an offer. We had listed with another realtor for over 7 months previous to our listing with Holly. Not a single person looked at our house. I owe the quick turn-over, and so much buyer interest, to Holly's advertisement strategy. She also worked with us tirelessly to find a house within the month beige closing. We ended up liking a house that was owned by a realtor and owner who were difficult to nedgociate with. However, Holly never gave up on us owning our dream house. In the end, we got the house for a decent price and closed on the same day for both houses. We were so fortunate to have such a great lady to work with. I fully recommend her to all!
--Erica Hand
Patient, Helpful, and Knowledgeable
Holly was patient, helpful and knowledgeable. She helped us find the right home and sold our former home. We followed her recommendations and with her help, both buying and selling was fast and not as hard as we thought it would be. She always returned our calls and showed us homes on our schedule. Yes, we would ask her to be our agent again!
--Janice Grissom
Will Continue to Recommend
Holly visited before we put the house on the market. She provided several ideas to help this 30 year old house sell. She suggested fixes that saved us money too. We implemented everything she suggested and the house sold fast. She held 2 open houses and got lots of traffic. I have already recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so.
--Lewis Detlefsen
THE hardest working agent!
THE hardest working agent I've ever seen. Knowledge of my market was excellent. Knew exactly what buyers would be looking for and told me our target demographic up front. Knew what updates needed to be done to my house, and what updates did not need to be done. And she put up with my endless questions. Doesn’t get much better than that.
--David Atchison
Amazing Realtor
Sally H. Bought a home in 2017:
"Holly was an amazing realtor that we had the incredible privilege to work with. She went above and beyond in her care of us and was always, I mean ALWAYS, available. We loved having Holly to help guide us through out first home buying experience, it was such a joy and she made the whole process less stressful! She is not only wonderful at her job, but she is also very personable and patient. My husband and I could not recommend a more highly suitable or compassionate realtor than Holly! She is the absolute best and we are so thankful we found her!"
Represented Us Well
Holly was our buyer's agent and I can tell you, she had our back. She represented us well with not only her knowledge of the area but she went out of her way to clear up a very important matter with the builder that the listing agent dropped the ball on. She is a polite little Southern Belle with negotiating skills of a pro! I highly recommend her!
- Deb Schroeder
VERY Helpful
When I was transferred to Huntsville, I was referred to Holly by a co-worker who had not even used her as their agent..., that tells you something! Holly was VERY helpful, meeting my son and I on one house hunting trip and spending a whole Sunday afternoon showing us close to 20 homes! She didn't even complain when she had to show some of the same houses again when my wife joined me on our second trip. With my wife in tow, I had three days that week to look at houses and wrap something up. Holly did a great job and found us a fantastic home in Madison, right where we wanted to live. She was excellent throughout the buying process, and made a bunch of yankees feel right at home in AL!

Extensive Knowledge
Holly has been in the business for several years and has developed an extensive knowledge of the local housing market and has the keen ability to effectively market a home to get quick results. I listed my home with Holly and it sold in 30 days and got the price I wanted. I have several friends that have used her and have gotten similar results!
I've also been on the other side of the transaction. As the President of Legacy Homes, Holly has represented clients as a buyer's agent and is always a true professional to ensure that her client gets the best deal. She is a tough negotiator, but that is her job! She's always a pleasure to work with because she's responsive, knowledgable, honest, and most importantly, gets results! I've referred several friends to Holly and wIll continue to do so in the future.

Holly took care of us
Our family was transferred to the area last year for my husbands job. We found Holly through a listing we were interested in. Holly helped us get to know the area and find the best house for our family. The listing agent on the house we ended up buying was lacking in many ways. Holly made sure we were taken care of through the whole process. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Holly and her team were very pro-active in selling our house. She made an assessment, devised a plan and together with her team we executed the plan. This resulted in a sell that met and exceeded all the criteria we had set out to achieve. She works in a very professional manner and the support we received from her and her team was excellent. We could not have been more pleased with their effort. - Joe and Gina Sudderth
I entrusted Holly
-
I entrusted Holly to sell my house after I had moved several states away. She and her assistant, Lisa, did an outstanding job of taking care of all the issues and details that must be dealt with when your home is on the market. They took care of everything in my absence and Holly negotiated a very good offer. Considering that any home sale is stressful, Holly did an outstanding job of managing my special situation. I would recommend her team to any seller! - Katherine Taconi
Holly is a real pro

Holly is a real pro. So pleasant, easy to work with and super knowledgeable. Makes buying real estate fun! She is able to handle whatever may arise during the transaction. I highly recommend her for both buying and selling real estate. - Jan May
The only agent we will call
The very first time we met Holly, she welcomed us and treated us as though we were long lost friends. We appreciated her candor and thoughtfulness as she set out to sell our house so we could move out of state. We listened to her. We trusted her. And our home sold in one week! Holly is a gem. If we ever return to Madison/Huntsville, she is the only agent we will call.

Holly was instrumental in helping us purchase a new home
"Holly was instrumental in helping us purchase our new home.
She helped us understand all of the details in the buying process
and was excellent in helping us through the negotiation phase.
She doesn't just work 8-5 M-F. She was there to help us and work
with us on nights and weekends as well. She is currently selling
our previous home. Holly gave us suggestions to update our
house to help it sell. She has had several open houses and uses
TV commercials to help market our home. She got our house
listed on ValleyMLS very quickly. In today's market, we are
thankful to have Holly working hard for us."
--Victor and Stacey Burruss
Holly is very knowledgeable
"Holly was a great help to our mother who just purchased her "last home."
She was very knowledgeable about the process and it was comforting to
know we had her by our side to walk us through every step of the way."
--Lori Coy
Holly is the best!
This is the first time I have had to sell a house and knew that I
needed to meet with a couple of realtors before deciding on one. When
deciding who to talk to, I had to include Holly as I had heard her
name on TV, seen her name in print and had seen her For Sale signs.
After meeting with Holly, I knew she was the one. I was impressed
with her marketing strategy and how she explained how things would work. Holly was always
just a phone call away and was very helpful in anything I needed. She
even helped me stage the house so it would show at its best. As it
turned out, we did not even need the marketing as my house sold in the
first week it was on the market. Even though I know that does not
happen very often, I know that it would have sold fast regardless due
to what she had planned for the marketing of the property. Holly is the best!!
