We first worked with Holly seven years ago when she helped us purchase our San Clemente home, so when it was time to sell and move to Florida, we knew exactly who to call.Holly helped us prepare the home for sale, from rearranging and removing furniture and personal items to even bringing in some of her own furniture for staging. She held open houses every weekend, and within a month, we sold at full asking price. When the buyers requested a large repair credit, Holly negotiated it down and protected our bottom line.What impressed us most was how much Holly and her husband, Scott, did after we had already moved out of state. They coordinated giving away large furniture and even helped haul remaining items to the dump. Holly truly went above and beyond and handled every detail for us. We couldn't recommend her more highly!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We first met Holly at an open house about 16 months ago, and from that day forward she worked tirelessly to help us find our dream ocean-view home in San Clemente. She showed us dozens of homes, but what truly set her apart was everything she did behind the scenes to create opportunities that other agents simply couldn’t.One thing that really impressed us was learning that Holly and her husband renovate homes. Their experience gave us the confidence to consider homes needing updates and helped us see possibilities we would have otherwise missed.Through her extensive networking, Holly ultimately found us an incredible off-market home with the exact ocean view we had been hoping for. It was beautifully updated, competitively priced, and because she brought it to us before it ever reached the market, we avoided a bidding war and had the rare opportunity to purchase it as the only buyers.The transaction became more complicated when the seller needed to secure a replacement home before closing, extending escrow to nearly four months. Holly guided us through every step with patience, professionalism, and exceptional communication, making a stressful process feel manageable.We are incredibly grateful for Holly’s dedication, persistence, expertise, and connections. She went above and beyond in every way, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I can’t recommend Holly McKhann highly enough. She went far beyond what I would expect from a real estate agent and helped me make decisions that ultimately had a huge financial impact on the sale of my San Clemente fourplex.We initially went on the market in 2025 after Holly helped me renovate one of the four units. Unfortunately, we weren’t getting the offers we hoped for. We eventually received an offer for $1.7 million, but that deal ultimately fell apart.Rather than simply putting the property back on the market, Holly recommended a different strategy. She advised me to thoroughly renovate two additional units and update the kitchen in the fourth so that all four units showed at their best. She also helped substantially increase the rents, which was especially important because the value of an investment property like this is heavily influenced by its rental income.I trusted her advice and invested approximately $130,000 in the improvements. The result was incredible: the property ultimately sold for $2,255,000 — $555,000 more than the previous $1.7 million offer.Spending $130,000 to help create an additional $555,000 in sale price was an amazing return on investment. Holly’s knowledge of renovations, investment properties, rental income, and how to maximize a property’s value made an enormous difference.I’m extremely grateful for her guidance, expertise, and willingness to look beyond simply listing the property and instead help me determine how to get the best possible result. I’m so thankful I followed her advice and would highly recommend Holly to anyone selling a home or investment property.Sincerely,Dave Magnuson… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor than Holly! We were competing against another offer that was $65,000 higher than ours, but somehow Holly’s experience, strategy, and negotiation skills got our offer accepted! And she didn’t stop there. After inspections, she negotiated an additional $22,000 in credits for repairs.Holly truly went above and beyond to protect our interests and make sure we got the best possible deal. Her contacts for contractors are saving us so much money on the renovations we plan to do right away also! Her knowledge, professionalism, and ability to navigate a competitive situation made all the difference. We are so grateful to have had her on our side and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We are so thankful we had Holly representing us in the purchase of our San Clemente home. It was an extremely competitive situation, and even though another buyer had offered $20,000 more, Holly’s persistence, professionalism, and strong reputation helped get our offer accepted.After we initially lost out and the seller opened escrow with another buyer, Holly continued to follow up and maintain a great relationship with the listing agent. When that first buyer backed out, the listing agent had so much confidence in Holly and trusted that she would help us navigate any repairs and get the deal closed. Because of that trust and rapport, the seller chose our offer over a higher one.Holly’s experience, communication, and ability to build confidence with everyone involved made all the difference. We are thrilled to have gotten the home and so grateful she was on our side.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Holly was absolutely amazing to work with to sell my San Juan Capistrano home. I reached out to her after seeing that she had another listing on my street, and I am so thankful I did. I had my home on the market last year with two different Realtors and, after many showings and a lot of stress, it did not sell.Holly was able to secure a buyer for my home without even having to list it publicly. We only had three showings, and she got me a price higher than I had even imagined — and higher than what I had it listed for last year. The entire process was quick, easy, and smooth from start to finish.I am incredibly grateful for Holly’s expertise, strategy, and ability to get results. She made what had previously been a stressful experience feel simple and successful. I highly recommend Holly to anyone thinking about selling their home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Holly McKhann to sell my Aliso Viejo condo. Since I was relocating to North Carolina before listing my home, I needed someone I could trust to handle everything from California. Holly managed every detail, from repairs and staging to showings and negotiations.I wasn’t sure staging would make a difference, but the finished result was stunning, and we received a full-price offer before the first open house.Throughout the process, Holly made everything easy and stress-free, keeping me informed every step of the way. Her expertise, attention to detail, and dedication delivered an outstanding result. I highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable REALTOR® who knows how to maximize a home's value.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We came from out of state looking for a vacation home that we could also rent out when we weren’t using it, and Holly was an incredible resource throughout the process. She showed us both single-family and multifamily properties and provided valuable insight into the San Clemente and Dana Point markets, including rental potential and investment considerations.Although we ultimately decided to pause our purchase for now, we were so appreciative of Holly’s time, patience, responsiveness, and expertise. She never pressured us and truly had our best interests in mind every step of the way. When we decide to move forward in the future, Holly will absolutely be our first call!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Holly was incredibly helpful throughout the sale of our condo in Lake Forest. She gave excellent advice on which improvements would help us net the most money. She recommended fresh paint, replacing the carpet with luxury vinyl plank, and staging the condo, and those updates made a huge difference. It looked beautiful!Thanks to Holly’s guidance, the condo sold quickly and at a higher price than other comparable units were selling for. We also really appreciated her expertise when the buyer presented several requests and challenges. Holly helped get the needed repairs handled quickly and kept the deal moving forward. We are so grateful for her professionalism, knowledge, and steady guidance from start to finish.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We had an amazing experience working with Holly McKhann to sell our townhome in Dana Point, California. From the beginning, Holly knew exactly what we needed to do to get our home ready to sell quickly and for top dollar.Our kitchen countertops were outdated, and Holly recommended replacing them before putting the home on the market. She coordinated everything with her trusted contractors and even fronted the cost of the new countertops so we didn’t have to pay for the improvements upfront. It made the entire process incredibly easy for us, and the kitchen looked so much better.Her strategy worked! Holly marketed and positioned our Dana Point townhome so well that we received a full-price offer before our first open house.We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. Holly made the whole process feel easy and took care of so many details for us along the way. We really appreciated how hands-on she was and how much she genuinely cared about getting us a great result. We’re so thankful we chose her to sell our home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
