"There is no way I can fully explain my experience with Holly in 1,000 characters. I need you to know that she will tread the deep waters of insane sellers, persistent lenders, and some of the most rediculous crap people can put you though. Holly will be sure that remain sane, reassure you when things seem overwhelming and people are overbearing!! Most of all, she doesn't give up or give in! I'm surprised she stuck it out with me, I wasn't rude or mean, but I was by far easy to work with! I wanted what I wanted and to make it worse, I sometimes wasn't picky enough. Then I chose a house that the seller didn't seem to want to sell! Consider yourself blessed if you never have to work with them, unless Holly is your agent, of course! Holly answers her messages/emails, searches until she finds you the right place. And no matter what, she will work for you! "

"My husband and I just sold our home in Big Bear with Holly. Our experience was seamless and easy. She has been in Big Bear a long time and has an extensive knowledge of the area. Our home sold in two days! We couldn't be happier with the process. I only wish I could use her with our purchase in Arizona!"

  -Kristin , Client

"Holly helped me get into my home about 9 years ago, she worked extremely hard, with me, and behind the scenes. She was professional, but not stiff or pushy. I often recommend her to my friends. I found her to be a pleasure to work with, and would use her again. She grew up in Big Bear, and knows the area well. I often call her before I go up during bad weather, or on crowded weekends- to find out local conditions. I have bought several homes over the years, but have not kept in contact with any of the other agents. The Christmas Cards she sends me, mean the world to me and my daughter. We both send you and your family all of our love and hope for your continued success, John and Cory Ryan!"

  -John Ryan, Client

"Holly drove me around Big Bear for days and knew all of the areas and houses in my price range until a purchased a home through her in a beautiful neighborhood. When I went to sell, Holly came in and effectively advised me what improvements the home needed to make it sell quickly. She helped me to complete the hurdles needed to make the home qualify for a VA loan that the eventual buyer used. She also effectively negotiated with the buyer and buyers agent all problems that arose during the sale. The home sold within 7 weeks of its initial listing, and that really surprised me. I highly recommend Holly. She was fantastic. "

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Holly for 3 transactions (1 purchase, 2 sales), with everything moving smoothly with all three. Our latest sale closed in less than 3 weeks after first listing, thanks in large part to her excellent online photos and hustle. She really went above and beyond what we expected, to help us with things that would have been difficult for us since we don’t live full time in Big Bear Lake. Holly is simply the best! "

  -Annette C, Client

"Holly is the most professional and downright nicest real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. She consistently went above and beyond throughout the process of my home purchase. Having lived all her life in the area, she also had great insight about the neighborhoods and local area, as well as an amazing reputation as being “the best in town” among all those I worked with, like the inspector and escrow company. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in the Big Bear area, you simply cannot do better than Holly as your real estate agent. My standards are very high, and she exceeded them. If you choose Holly, I have no doubt you will be glad you did!"

  -Ryan , Client

"We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your agent, Holly. Holly's work ethic and her "do whatever it takes" attitude are outstanding! She is dedicated and persistent. What is most unique about this whole situation is that we are the buyers and Holly was the listing agent for the sellers. Our agent worked closely with Holly throughout the whole five month short sale ordeal. We can't thank Holly enough for without Holly's tremendous dedication the sale would not have been successful. We thought you would like to know of your agent's excellent performance! We will highly recommend her to all of our family and friends! Gratefully, Margee and Sam Fuller "

"We have bought and sold many houses in our 50 years of marriage. We have lived in 9 different states from one end of the country to the other. It was a spontaneous decision to sell our home in Big Bear California and we could not have been more pleased to have the best realtor we have ever encountered: Holly Gardner. We were so impressed by her constant attention as she anticipated every element of the sale. We’ve never experienced this type of personal professional service. Please, if you would like to buy or sell in this area, do yourself a favor and contact Holly. "

  -Gary & Denise, Client

"My wife and I were looking for a cabin for over a year. I called Holly to check on a property and was impressed with her right off the bat. I had worked with two different realtors prior to speaking with Holly. Holly answered every question I asked. I decided to stick with Holly because she was so in-depth with her answers. While I was on the phone with her, she set up my criteria account and I immediately started receiving emails regarding cabins with my wants/needs. I sent Holly a list of about 15 properties I wanted to look at. She never once tried to detour me from looking at a single property. I can't stand salesman because they are in it for themselves and never for you. When we looked at the cabins, she sat there and let us look. We took our time. Not once did she ever try to push or sell it to us. We asked numerous questions and not one went unanswered. She also told us the positive and negative things about the properties we were interested in. When we found "our" cabin, I"

  -Joseph Seibel , Client

"Holly was our Real Estate Agent in 2009, assisting in finding us our new home here in Big Bear. She listened to the type of home which would meet our expectations and needs. When we located the home we liked, we all needed to be patient because it was a "short sale" which meant a long wait---about 6 months before our offer was accepted. Holly was most professional in all the contacts needed to make this sale possible and we are very grateful to have had Holly represent us. We highly recommend Holly as a fine Real Estate Agent. "

  -Rose Clark, Friend

"Holly was the agent we selected when selling my parents Sugarloaf home. Holly was amazing. We live 4 hours from Big Bear, so taking care of organizing all the needed repairs the home required, upon inspection,could have been a complete nightmare. However; Holly went above and beyond her agent requirement to arrange a trustworthy, reliable and reasonable contractor and repair man. In addition, she was straightforward with negotiations and got my parents the best offer possible. Holly is a wonderful agent and a caring person. I would recommend Holly to anyone seeking or selling a home in the Big Bear area."

We recommend her so highly!"

Even when the short sales fell through she never gave up in helping him find a place. Also, since she is from this area, she was able to help provide contacts for some work he wanted done and has been a great resource. We would recommend Holly and work with her again. "

She was patient with me (as a first time home-buyer and overall nit-pick) and she was excitable and fun which made the entire process more enjoyable. She brought me more - and BETTER - options to look at because she listened to what I was looking for and seemed genuinely excited about finding the perfect fit. A fun, easy, personable process that couldn't have gone smoother. Only the highest of recommendations for Holly! "
