Holly McLear

Holly McLear was working in NYC when an invitation from an America’s Cup sailor lured her to Newport, RI. This Midwestern girl was instantly charmed by the City by the Sea and decided to make it her home purchasing an 1856 fixer-upper on The Point, a quaint historic harbor neighborhood in downtown. Settling in this beautiful community with its scenic coastline, lively arts scene, historic architecture and accessible educational institutions was easy for Holly who took to the Island and the Islanders right from the start.

In 2001 Holly started selling residential real estate. She adapted quickly, working strategically to get multiple properties SOLD. Many millions in real estate transactions followed, and Holly’s growing list of satisfied customers kept her busy through the good times and the bad.

Holly will take your project seriously, represent you with integrity and get you across the finish line with professionalism and good humor.

Michelle Deasy, Tiverton

This was the first home my husband and I were buying and I thought of no one better than Holly to help. She is very knowledgeable of the areas we were looking to buy which was a plus since we are both not originally from Rhode Island. She was very professional and extremely patient with us. Thank you Holly for doing an amazing job we love our new home x

I requested that no sign would be put up. Holly said we could hold off a little while, but it is a very good selling tool. With joy, no sign was necessary. The beginning of the sales was a bit difficult because I was away and hard to get hold of. However, Holly found ways to make it work. Holly gave me a much better "money value" than the others. Holly was correct in what she chose for me. Holly gave direct answers to my MANY questions. She showed great skill in keeping everything organized and up to date. Holly was considerate of the home's connection to me and took the time to make this all work. She is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and so considerate. I have and I will recommend Holly to my friends. The suggestion I was given of asking Holly to be my realtor was such a good choice. The other two persons that were interviewed we not in her league. Keep working your magic Holly! I will miss having to communicate with Holly. She is a very "UP" personality and carries you up with her help and knowledge. She listens to your concerns and responds with her wisdom of how it all will WORK! Great pictures of my house! The touches of moving a few things here and there by either Holly or the photographer was the correct thing to do. The sale was emotional for me, but Holly walked gently on through it all. She showed respect for things that mattered to me. I feel very content with the way this complete sale process went. AND SO HAPPY IT IS DONE!!!!!

We are so happy that we worked with Holly to find a home to suit our needs! Holly is knowledgeable, professional and was genuinely interested in helping us find the right home within our budget. She was very responsive throughout the home buying process, and consistently went above and beyond to help us, which was very appreciated as we live out of state. I would absolutely work with Holly again and would highly recommend her to others.

We absolutely love Holly McLear and if we were ever to sell our house again, we would have her as our sales agent. She was great! We would recommend her to anybody we know who is contemplating selling their property.

Mette H., Newport, RI

I can't even begin to express how happy we are that we selected Holly as our realtor to sell our Newport, RI condo. We "interviewed" three different realtors but ended up selecting Holly. In addition to liking Holly when we met her, our decision was largely driven by how impressed we were with a then-current listing of hers that I'd found on Zillow. (That may sound like an unusual selection-criterion, but - being in the apartment rental business - my husband and I firmly believe that a listing has to stand out to attract the widest possible audience.) Holly did not disappoint - the listing she created for our unit was incredibly inviting! But, as we learned along the way, Holly's attention to details did not stop at creating a terrific listing. She was extremely attentive to and knowledgeable about every step of the process, from listing to closing. In addition, she was extremely accessible and easy to communicate with. All in all, we highly recommend working with Holly!
