I first met Holly at an open house of hers in Dana Point and was impressed with her professionalism and knowledge about the local market and answering all my questions. That property wasn't a perfect fit for me, so Holly and I continued to stay in touch. I was very impressed with her analysis of income properties, knowledge of her listing and property background and history, and how she created a spreadsheet of the local sales to analyze the rent to price ratio, as well as an in depth knowledge of the property background.  I had never seen a realtor do that before and it was refreshing.  She has a background as a CPA so she's all about the numbers--exactly what I was looking for since I was searching for an investment property.  We opened escrow on a fourplex in Costa Mesa a few months later, but learned near the end of that escrow that it was only legally permitted as a triplex--a big surprise and disappointment!  So we canceled that one and resumed our search.  Next we found a triplex in San Clemente that was MUCH better maintained than the prior building we had been in contract on.  We sailed through this transaction with ease and closed. Holly was always quick to answer my calls and texts, shared information and analysis of market and related real estate needs, which gave me great peace of mind knowing she was there for me. Holly provided a great experience and I look forward to working with her again!  FIVE STARS!

I found Holly McKhann online and was immediately impressed with the many five star reviews she had from happy clients. I was looking for a realtor in San Clemente to help me rent my parents' home. Holly immediately listed it, but we found the potential tenants didn't like the carpet and there were a few other updates that needed attention. Holly recommended we replace the carpet with luxury vinyl plank flooring to enhance the desirability of the home. We agreed to do that and Holly brought her contractor in -it was impressive how quickly the work was completed and the results were amazing. My parents home was rented within days after the work was finished. I was very impressed with Holly's responsiveness and her knowledge of the real estate market. I'm extremely happy with Holly and how much she helped our family- she is super resourcefulness and always willing to go the extra mile. I wholeheartedly recommend her highly!

Holly is by far the BEST IN THE BUSINESS! She is so impressive with her knowledge and expertise in all aspects of Real Estate.She listed and sold our house in record time; it was the easiest transaction I've ever experienced.Use Holly and enjoy your experience also!

AMAZING!!Holly was referred to me by a close friend of over 40 years. Holly was very professional and kind when I first met her and as time went on I considered her a friend. She was patient and caring with me as this was my first home purchase 26 years ago and was now selling it. Her 15+ years of experience showed greatly as she thoroughly explained and made suggestions to help me decide what the best course of action was to list my home for sale. My wife and I could text or call her at anytime and she would respond within several minutes each time. Even if she was assisting another client or at another special event out of town. Her work ethic is beyond words. We would engage with her from the early morning hours to the evening hours, always ready to give us updates or answer questions we would have. She is thorough, timely, attentive, and most importantly, AVAILABLE!She is a remarkable agent and person and she made me feel like I was her only client.Kind Regards,Patrick Nijland

A friend recommended Holly McKhann to sell my childhood home and we interviewed her to learn about her marketing plan. We went ahead and Holly marketed it and held open houses, generating lots of interest and 13 offers. She helped us work through the many details, analyzing, countering and negotiating with the many offers. The first offer we worked with was the highest, but the buyers quickly became unresponsive and we moved on to a cash offer with no contingencies. The buyer closed on time according to plan and everything went well.We were very happy with the result and appreciate the fantastic job Holly did for us. We wholeheartedly recommend Holly to any friends or family as we trust her and know she will do a great job on any real estate deal. She truly cares about what is best for you.

This is the second time I've hired Holly McKhann to help me with both a purchase and sale of a home. I was so happy with the service she provided a couple of years ago that I had no question about using her again. When I came to her with my idea to downsize we had a tricky situation because we needed to sell before we bought a new home. In this market getting contingent offers accepted is very difficult. We found a fixer upper home we liked and Holly put this complex deal together. She negotiated an offer on our home for sale and then presented our contingent purchase offer on the new home in Dana Point to the listing agent. The listing agent trusted her and us, and she miraculously got our offer accepted. The transaction proved to be challenging with a 1031 exchange as well as a second out-of-country owner who created some other hurdles, but Holly kept all parties in contact and helped the deals close against significant odds. After we purchased the new home Holly provided her best contractor to help us remodel the home extensively to make it really special and beautiful. This whole process took 8 months from first idea to sell to completed new home, and Holly and her husband Scott were there for us the whole way. We appreciate Holly and Scott's expertise, guidance, and support and highly recommend them to help with any real estate purchases or sales.

Holly showed us several homes with patience as our tastes are very picky. She demonstrated great knowledge on the values, areas, and construction costs and details. She consulted with us to help us evaluate our options from a tax perspective as well. Holly is a jack-of-all- trades, and “has a guy” to fix, build, or install for any issue. We knew she has our best interest at heart, especially since she took so much time with us when there wasn't a guaranteed sale for her. Holly and her husband are the perfect match to help you find and fix your new home. We will always use Holly for all our future purchases as you can tell she really cares about our happiness and not only the money.

Holly helped me buy a condo in Anaheim and helped me win over many other buyers with her negotiation skills. From our first conversation to the final closing, Holly demonstrated professionalism, knowledge and dedication. She guided me in making informed decisions, especially in strategizing our offer. Holly was responsive and proactive in addressing my concerns and questions. I felt confident and supported throughout the process, thanks to Holly and her team.Overall I am extremely satisfied with Holly's services and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell real estate in Orange County. Her professionalism, expertise and commitment to her clients make her a top choice in Orange County.

Holly McKhann helped me purchase a home in Laguna Niguel. It was the ideal location and we loved how beautifully the home was updated. She was also the listing agent, which made me concerned about whether she was representing my interests also, but I came to understand throughout the process that she really was. She did a great job communicating with me throughout the process. We encountered two major hurdles but Holly found creative solutions that made everything work out. We're so happy to get this home and that Holly could help it become a reality for us.

When we decided to buy a vacation home on the coast, our trusted broker for years immediately recommended Holly. Coming from the East Coast we knew very little about Southern California coastal towns, only that we were interested in the Oceanside, San Clemente and Dana Point areas. After an initial meeting with Holly, she quickly understood what we were looking for and the range of what we wanted to pay. As a result of her expertise, local market knowledge and her due diligence, we literally had a new home within a few weeks of our initial introduction. It was a very positive experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly to anyone.Banc Winsor and Frank Moore

We recently purchased a home in San Clemente, and our experience working with Holly was nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our needs and preferences, guiding us with expert advice throughout the entire process. Holly demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the local market and had a keen eye for spotting potential homes we might have otherwise overlooked. What really stood out was her unwavering commitment to ensuring we found the perfect home. Holly was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer honest feedback, making us feel confident in every decision we made. When it came time to negotiate, Holly was a fierce advocate on our behalf, ensuring we got the best possible deal. The attention to detail and dedication to our satisfaction were truly impressive, making the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we owe it all to Holly. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about your needs, look no further. We highly recommend Holly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Orange County !Thanks,Robert & Anna Arakelian

Holly was so experienced, knowledgeable and helpful from start to finush. You want her around you pwhen you're making these type of life decisions such as selling/ buying a house/ home...We are so glad she was our realtor and there for us day andnight... Thanks Holly!!!

Holly helped my husband and I buy a property that she was listing. We met Holly at an open house and immediately liked her. She was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I wanted her to represent us on the Buy side and she was so professional in dealing with us as the Buyers agent while still fairly and professionally representing the Sellers. During the whole transaction from start to finish, she really helped resolve any minor issues that came up and even had her own contractor come out to fix whatever issues cropped up. Holly is responsive and can solve any issue that pops up in real estate transactions. A huge plus is that she is also such a nice human being. We really enjoyed working with Holly and would 100% recommend her to anyone out there buying or selling

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with a realtor, than with Holly. Every text or call we made to her, was responded to within minutes. She quickly to every question we had. She's very bright, personable, has the experience behind her selling and listing hundreds of homes, plus a CPA background. We felt so safe with Holly. But, perhaps more than anything, it was her positive, solution-oriented attitude that makes the My husband and I commented several times during the process of selling our home about how grateful we were to have chosen such a highly competent realtor. Holly is highly recommended.

Holly McKhann leased our San Clemente home in Sea Summit for us in a challenging time of year when multiple other homes were also listed in that same community. She kept in close contact with us throughout the process and we could tell she truly had our best interest in mind. She held an open house, which is uncommon for a lease, that brought in a potential tenant that ended up leasing our home. She did a thorough verification of the tenant's qualifications and gave us peace of mind in the tenant's financial strength. We have engaged Holly to both sell and purchase homes and once again we are very pleased with the results.

I used Holly McKhann recently to assist me to buy a multi-family property and I will not hesitate whatsoever in using her again in the future – nor will I hesitate in the least in recommending and referring to others her services – and this is whether you are selling or buying a property. She is a true veteran, with unmatched professionalism. Her attention to detail, her diligence, and her overall communication skills stand out as the very best I have ever seen in the business. She is also an expert in explaining things in “laymen’s terms” – which for me was a big deal - especially with all the paperwork and disclosures that are now mandatory in every transaction. I could pick up the phone and call Holly with any question - and then with a calming reassurance from her voice, get answers explained to me easily and without complication. It should be noted that Holly also has vast experience (over 15 years I believe) in refurbishing and then re-selling properties. This was instrumental in my particular transaction with her, as she had access to several contractors who were able to provide their assistance to helping me getting my deal closed in a timely manner – which was crucial in my particular case. Even if you are looking for an opinion of value on your property just to get an idea on pricing, call her. Her business style is about long-term relationships and repeat business – which is clearly evident as you get to know her throughout your dealings with her.

Holly McKhann represented us on the purchase of our home in Mission Viejo. We moved from out of state and Holly was very patient and helpful in answering all of our questions. She gave us trustworthy and honest advice which we really appreciated. Another thing I love about Holly is that she's really reliable and communicative. She's always willing to call us when we have questions or need clarification. She also negotiated a large credit for us to help with repair costs to the home. I'm so glad we were represented by such a professional, fierce and meticulous realtor. We highly recommend using Holly for the purchase or sale of your home!!

Holly McKhann leased our home in Irvine, California for us. We had a brand new home and needed to get it rented. Holly and her team screened potential tenants, showed it many times, and found us a great tenant. She helped us understand the process and facilitated a smooth transition for us and the tenant. We would definitely come back to her for all of our future transactions!

Holly & Scott were a pleasure to work with. Questions were answered quickly & the selling process was as painless as possible. I highly recommend the Holly & Scott team.

My husband and I just purchased our first home together, and we couldn't have done it without Holly. She was incredibly responsive and always available to answer our questions, no matter how small. Her guidance and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire process, making us feel confident every step of the way. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

From the first interaction you were simply amazing. My roommates and I had been searching for a place for a 2 1/2 months, feeling frustrated and discouraged. With one week left to our lease. Then, along came Holly!With your guidance, we swiftly submitted our application, had all our questions answered, and what seemed like a blink of an eye—secured our new home. She skillfully helped us with the deposit process, rent details, and even connected us with the landlord.Holly, thank you for truly listening to us and giving us a chance. Your dedication made all the difference, and we’re grateful beyond words.

We met Holly at an open house in Dana Point that was one of her renovations. She said that her team could also renovate an outdated home for us when we work with her and that interested us very much. We had looked at many homes and been unable to find what we wanted so this idea of creating it appealed to us. She called our attention to an ocean view home in San Clemente that was outdated, but she saw potential in it. We decided to offer on it and she got our offer accepted. We are excited to create out dream home. We are happy to have met Holly and Scott and have them help us find and create our dream home in San Clemente.

I was introduced to Holly McKhann through biggerpockets.com as a recommended realtor to help me with my home purchase. This is my first time buying a home and I had much to learn. She helped me evaluate areas to consider and provided me with her great mortgage broker to get me pre-approved and start my home search. She was very helpful in pointing out pros and cons of the different homes we looked at. When we decided on the one that we wanted she creatively suggested raising the purchase price and requesting credit towards closing costs to reduce the amount of cash required from me at closing. She answered my many questions and explained the process every step of the way. After the home inspection she negotiated credits for repairs too. During the escrow process we hit a problem with the HOA not answering the underwriter's questions to their satisfaction, so our mortgage broker had to start the loan over at a new lender. This delayed escrow, but Holly stayed in contact with the listing agent and kept everything going smoothly and with no extra extension costs to me. Overall I am so happy with Holly and her service and am excited to use her again on future real estate purchases.Sean Scarbrough

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptional realtor, Holly McKhann, and her husband, who assisted me with the permit process for my house. From start to finish, their professionalism and dedication made the selling process a breeze.Holly went above and beyond to market my property, ensuring it received maximum exposure. Her expertise in the local real estate market helped us set the right price, attracting numerous potential buyers. She guided me through every step, from staging my home for the best presentation to negotiating offers.Simultaneously, her husband's assistance with obtaining the necessary permits was invaluable. His knowledge of the local regulations and efficient handling of the paperwork saved me time and stress.

We are so lucky to have found and worked with Holly to purchase our new home. We wanted to find someone who was knowledgeable about real estate investing. We found her on Bigger Pockets and as soon as I sent the inquiry, she called me right away and asked about the details of what we were looking for. My husband and I were first time home buyers so she took the time and was very patient and mentored us on how to go through each step of the home buying process. Her husband Scott and other family members even took the time to bring us to properties when she had other conflicts. After looking at more than 20 properties around the Orange County, Long Beach, and South Bay Area and writing up 7 offers that got rejected, we finally found our dream home (which was the best house we looked at anyway) and Holly helped us secure it. Her negotiation skills were exceptional and navigated tough questions for us all through out the journey. She’s someone we learned to trust and would always answer our calls and questions on topics like if a specific house is a good investment, loans, taxes, home repairs, interest rates, negotiation tactics, etc! She was very patient with us through everything, mentored us the whole way, was very knowledgeable about real estate, taught us about fun facts from her experience in flipping houses and being a realtor (like how to tell if something is original hardwood and that it’s hard to resell a home that’s right by a freeway), and connected us with numerous people in her network which is so helpful if you want to get into real estate investing! She was a pleasure to work with and we’ll definitely work with her again in the future. We’d recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything, Holly!

Holly McKhann sold my condo in Foothill Ranch, California, and made the process as stress free as possible. The condo needed a bit of a refresh before it went on the market, and Holly recommended contractors and helped determine the best return on investment for the updates and repairs. She was friendly, professional, and used technology to coordinate all of the "paperwork" which saved everyone time and energy. Best of all, Holly brought me an above asking offer during a real estate downturn! If you are looking for a Real Estate Agent with ethics, integrity and heart - look no further. I would not hesitate to recommend Holly to friends and family. Thank you, Holly, for selling my home!

Holly McKhann leased my home for me in Ladera Ranch and made the process so quick and easy. I was living out of state, so she handled everything for me. She posted the listing right away, showed the home to prospective tenants, screened them, and helped me select a great one ready to move in right away. She took all the stress away and provided a wonderful experience. Great job Holly!
