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.

We are from out of state. Although we had visited Newport on a couple of occasions, we had no knowledge of the Real Estate Market. I saw a listing of Holly's and contacted her. She responded immeadiately and spent a lot of time hearing what we were interested in. I flew in to Newport and met her and she made arrangements for me to see multiple properties. She provided wonderful insight into the area and was right on target regarding the properties selected to tour. We mad an offer on one of the properties and multiple offers came in. Holly was great through this stressful process and did everything required to assist us in getting the Deal Done. Part of the negotiation stipulated the Closing had to be completed in a very tight time frame. Holly was great in providing all the information about utilities, insurance and Closing agents that we needed. We closed remotely with No issues. The entire process was extremely simple and stress free. Well Done!! I would Highly Recommend Holly McLear and her office to Out of State Buyers. Mark Edwards Pinehurst, North Carolina

Holly is a wonderful realtor for us. She answers all of our questions and goes above and beyond to find out needed information. We couldn't ask for a better experience. She is also a coach as I am not that computer literate and she helped us with all the a online processes. Thanks Holly

Holly McLear was honest and approachable from the beginning. She helped us find a house while overcoming the obstacle that we were not local at the time. She was happily able to use alternative ways of communication such as skype, videos, etc in order to help us find a property and complete needed paperwork. We greatly appreciated her honest opinions about different neighborhoods and both positives and negatives of the properties we were viewing. She has so much knowledge about the local market, traffic patterns, local hot spots, etc. that made selecting a neighborhood much easier! She worked with us for several months to find a home and now after closing she is still in contact to help us solve some of the extra issues involved with the sale and even just relocating to the area. I would highly recommend Holly McLear to anyone looking for a home!

Great broker. Attentive to detail. Followed through.

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

Holly McLear made every effort to find my home in a fairly quick turnaround period due to my move date to Rhode Island. She worked day and night, weekday and weekends evaluating homes on the marketplace in my price range and traveling about to allow me to virtually tour homes. I had faith in her from the start to be my eyes and ears since I was unable to visit the homes in person.. She went ABOVE and BEYOND to find the perfect home for us and I am forever grateful for her wisdom, kindness, intellect on the housing market!! Additionally, I was having issues with getting credible answers on my VA loan from my first loan officer and she assisted with getting the correct answers and provided guidance on where to turn to find out what I needed. Without the correct information, and her guidance, there would have been several issues with my mortgage. Thankfully everything worked out more than perfectly and I love my new home!! Thank you so much Holly!!

Karen, Middletown

Holly McLear was very patient, honest, detail oriented, and listened to what we were looking for. We appreciated her feedback and her extensive knowledge of the area and the neighborhood. Holly was very helpful in negotiating with the other broker during our transaction as well as addressing issues that arose during the inspection. She was very accommodating and readily available. We would recommend her whole heartedly!

Karen Tungett, Middletown, RI

My husband and I worked with Holly to purchase our first home and we were not "Easy" to please. Besides being a little "picky and having a budget as well as being 7 months pregnant Holly was amazing!! She knew what style we wanted, she got us in to see houses at the last minute and worked around our crazy work schedules. She was patient and kind but she was also very honest and that helped up to find the perfect house. Holly also pointed us in the right direction to get the best financing and set us up with the right people. She is very dedicated to each of her clients, I'm sure she has a lot but she always made us feel like we were the only ones. We are now looking for house #2 and Holly is already working diligently to find us the perfect "forever" home. If you need a relator to buy or sell your home call Holly, she is amazing!!!

Lynda Casarella, Newport RI

We have used Holly before in previous transactions, and recommended her to friends. She is extremely knowledgeable and gets the job done!!! We were in constant communication about the market, her showings of our house and we never felt that she wasn’t in contact with us. We will continue to use Holly in the future
