Holly Hetzel – Chicago Real Estate

Holly is an excellent agent! She helped my girlfriend and myself tremendously in our search for our first home. She really is incredibly knowledgeable and we couldn’t have had a better guide throughout the entire process.
Holly helped us find a neighborhood and home that we really love. Upon encountering some inevitable bumps in the road her straight forward advice was spot on. I honestly didn’t think we’d find such a great agent or a home that fits out needs so well.

My wife and I just got pregnant with our first kid and needed more space. This was our first time buying a place. We were looking for a 3 bedroom, duplex, with low HOA’s. Given my wife was due soon, we didn’t want to do any renovations and were looking to put as little of our savings on a down payment. Oh, and we wanted as few stairs as possible. Tall order? No doubt.
We were referred to Holly by a close friend who worked with her. We got in touch with Holly, and we were immediately impressed with her follow up and professionalism. At our first meeting with Holly, our expectations were way out of line with what we were willing to spend. Holly delicately educated us on the current market and helped to set our expectations. She spent countless hours with us preparing, researching and listening to exactly what was most important to us. By the time we started looking at places with Holly, we were so clear on what we wanted that it only took us 4 outings to find our perfect place in Wicker Park! We are so excited and couldn’t be happier the level of service she provided.
If you’re taking the time to read reviews on agents, you probably worked with 99% of the real estate agent population, and were as underwhelmed as we were. If you are looking for a cheesy, dishonest agent, don’t call Holly… call every other joker in the industry. Holly’s great. She will tell it like it is, and act as though she was buying the place with her own hard-​earned money.
I hope we never move because we love the place & the hood so much, but we will absolutely use Holly again and refer her to anyone looking.

Holly is the BEST! My husband and I were looking for a new home for the first time since we short sold our condo back in 2009. We were tired of renting and looking for a family friendly space where our 4 year old could grow. We had no idea where to start. Holly was able to help us figure out what we wanted and the best options for us.
She is thorough and honest, being able to spot potential issues with homes that we would have never had noticed! She helped us with every aspect of the process, which we sorely needed because we were clueless about what to do! I don’t think we could have had a better experience with anyone else. She truly is an amazing real estate agent.
I highly recommend her!

Holly was everything I could have hoped for in a real estate agent as a first time buyer. She was always on time and proactive. She was very detail-​oriented, and I never got the sense that anything would slip through the cracks in working with her. She was honest in her recommendations, and very patient throughout what ended up being a several month process of home shopping in the Logan Square area. In addition to the above, her personal knowledge about property investment and rehabbing proved invaluable– as she was able to point out potential areas of concern in places that weren’t in mint condition, and may have required a lot of effort to address.

Holly assisted my husband and I with purchasing our first home. Holly was an excellent real estate agent, she was very professional, extremely organized, always on time, very patient with us and knowledgeable.
Holly was very patient and looked at over 20 homes with us, got on late night calls to answer questions and responded to emails from us at all hours of the day.
After days of negotiations, Holly was able to get us our dream home and an outstanding deal. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous real estate agent.

I was a first time homebuyer and Holly walked me through the entire process. She was prompt, always available, and answered all my questions. She really knows the market, and it shows. Holly navigated a difficult REO purchase with no problem whatsoever, and more importantly, communicated with me every step of the way. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true expert!

I was a first time home buyer and I was recommended to a Holly through a friend. I found a place that I love and Holly made the whole experience a great one. She gave me honest, well informed information and was always available whenever I had any questions or needed help with something. Hoping to buy another place with her again soon!

Holly helped me purchase my first home in August and was more than amazing! She was professional, prompt, and knowledgable. Holly provided honest insight regarding neighborhoods, buildings, and did her work up front scheduling showings. I would recommend her as a realtor, and commend her ability to work with my schedule, as well as keep the process in forward motion. Buying a home is a process, and Holly made it an easier process! :)

If your looking for a realtor that knows her stuff and plays by the rules, Holly is your girl!!! She rented our West Loop condo in one day after two showings. She provided us with all the Chicago landlord rules, since it was our first time. We had no complaints and gave us all the info needed. She found us a great renter who pays on time and follows all the rules. Basically, with Holly you can sit back and relax and she will get everything you want done and right!!! She’s great I highly recommend her services.

Holly is an excellent agent! She was very forthcoming about the good and the bad when listing my unit. She had many constructive suggestions about what small improvements I could make to increase the perceived value of my unit. She also devised a great marketing plan. Holly is also very flexible and open to different strategies. When my unit was not getting much traction on the for sale front, she had no problem shifting gears and finding me a renter instead. I would highly recommend Holly as a Chicago realtor.

Holly is an amazing Chicago real estate agent. She listed and sold my condo in 8 days! She is honest and straightforward in her expert advice, and über skilled at staging a unit. She will go above and beyond in her marketing and at the same time make sure that you feel like her only client. I highly recommend Holly for selling or buying a home in the Chicago real estate market.
