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.

Holly did an EXCELLENT job helping us sell our home in Jamestown. Living out of state is a challenge when selling. Our home needed help to get ready to list. All of the hurdles, from preparing our property to the final closing were were handled expertly by Holly McLear. We were very impressed with her experience and guidance. If you are looking for a professional, honest, and dedicated realtor, you should contact Holly. You will not be disappointed!

I have not had a moment of anxiety in this adventure called home purchase. No question or concern has been unimportant. Holly has responded quickly and carefully to any request. I expected no less after my daughter's experience working with her. Holly is going to help me sell my current home and I have no doubts at all about her commitment to this next step.

This was my first experience selling a property, so getting assistance with the listing and sale was critical to me. I was initially impressed with Holly McLear's knowledge of the local market. She took the time to answer my family's questions and learn about our goals with the sale. She came prepared with a detailed analysis of the property and a proposed asking price backed by recent sales of similar properties. Holly was fantastic walking me through the process, answering my questions, and doing the leg-work needed to make the sale go as smoothly as it did. I don't believe I could have sold the property as quickly or for the price my family received without her help. Choosing Holly McLear was the best choice I made when selling my property. I look forward to some day doing business with her and Hogan Associates again.

Have bought and sold four other properties on Aquidneck Island over past thirty years. This transaction was the best experience, largely due to Holly.

Lambert, Bartlett, IL

Holly McLear was familiar with the property and was very knowledgeable about the local market. Her list of comparisons and suggested price was right on. The market was hot and the buyers came in with an offer just above the asking price. We were pleased with her handling of the sale and her on the spot responsiveness.

I hired Holly to sell my 2 family house in the Point last spring. Holly presented a thorough marketing plan that showed me she was the right realtor to help me. Negotiations with the buyer were difficult but Holly was creative with ideas on how to make the sale work - and it did. I'd recommend Holly to anyone looking for a realtor in Newport.

Eve Healy, South Kingston RI

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

Steph Johnson, Newport RI

Holly McLear was wonderful, start to finish! She listened to our requirements and was not pushy, which is in my opinion, the most important quality in a realtor. Because we were first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions and probably required more attention than other clients, but Holly took the time to explain everything in detail and provided us with good advice/recommendations for services we needed. It was very easy to get in touch with her and she was always quick to reply, whether through email, text, or cell. Holly made herself available and worked with our schedule to meet us at any time; nights, weekends, mornings, last minute, etc. We are so happy with our new home! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house. Thanks Holly!
