After very briefly working with two different agents, Holly was strongly recommended to me by a colleague who had worked with her twice before, and my wife and I could not be happier.
From the very beginning our relationship with Holly has truly felt like family. Easily approachable, always available, and extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. Few can establish such rapport, and in short order. She has been our point person for real estate, as well as numerous other local services we needed help establishing, which has been invaluable.
The passion she possesses for helping others is readily apparent, and what truly what makes her stand apart. We knew that she had our best interest in at heart. She took time to delve into our interests, preferences, family, and really personalized the whole process. She even kept an eye on our son crawling around while touring homes!
Before, during, and after our home buying process Holly has not wavered in continuing to provide us with outstanding service. She has definitely taken personal interest in our experience from the beginning, making it more enjoyable, and less stressful.
Despite what I can only imagine is a very busy and dynamic schedule, Holly has always been poised, helpful, and available, which I find tends to be difficult for some, yet comes effortlessly for her. Truly an amazing person, and real estate professional, I think anybody would be privileged to have Holly in their corner!

Holly's expertise in the real estate market is truly commendable. She possesses a wealth of knowledge about the local area, market trends, and property values, which proved invaluable during our house hunt. Her insights and guidance allowed us to make informed decisions and find the perfect home that matched our requirements and preferences.

One of Holly's greatest strengths is her unwavering attentiveness.

We have already started spreading the word about our fantastic experience, and we will undoubtedly continue recommending Holly to all of our friends, family, and acquaintances who are looking to buy or sell their homes.

We worked with Holly to purchase our first home, and we're so glad she did. She had great strategies to make us competitive in a wild market. She was always quick to respond to our questions, and calm us down during a stressful and exciting time. Thanks to Holly's magic, the first offer we made in our hunt got accepted!! We can't say enough good things about Holly.

We had the absolute best experience working with Holly! As first-time home buyers we had no idea what we were doing, and she guided us every step of the way. Holly is incredibly knowledgeable about how to navigate the housing market and put in an attractive offer, has a keen sense for quality and value, and has a great design eye. She went above and beyond to help set us up with a mortgage broker, interior designer, cleaning services…you name it and she helped, making what was previously a stressful process for us so much fun. She would even hold our 1.5 year old son while we looked at houses! I would give her 10 stars if I could - highly recommend!

Holly was amazing. She helped us find the perfect home for our family in Edina, made every step seamless and easy along the way, and continues to help us find quality people throughout our moving and furnishing process.

From knowing what needed to be done to win the offer, where to focus our efforts, suggesting to bring an inspector with us to the showing, it all just was spot on.

We can’t recommend her enough!

Holly was really great: explaining the market by showing your presentation; taking care of the sale of the house even though we were not present; knowledgeable; and very responsive. She was a pleasure to work with and we felt our sale was in capable hands.

Holly and the Steadman team at Compass were great to work with when we wanted to sell our house. They helped guide us through the process, provided good recommendations, and made sure everything stayed on track. The house sold more quickly than we had expected given how long it takes to move similar houses in the area.

Working with Holly was such a delight! She’s got an amazing attention to detail. Through the entire home purchasing process she was always available, profesional, highly communicative and super helpful. In our particular case, there was another selling agent. The purchase process hit a bump in the road. I honestly think it was thanks to her and her awesome skills that the sale went through with the selling agent and seller regardless. I would recommend Holly in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an shan’t in the housing market.

From the original consultation through the final closing, the entire process was simple, clear and effortless. Additionally, through each choice or decision we had to make along the way, from setting the listing price to considering the multiple offers, everything clearly explained and backed up by well-grounded experience. In the end, the entire process went smoothly, and our sale closed on time and well over asking price. Thank you Holly Connaker.

Worked with Holly and Compass Real Estate on our first home and couldn't be happier with our service and experience. She was responsive and super informative to the many questions we had as first time home buyers. She and/or Mike was always available whenever we needed to see homes as we were searching and both made the purchasing process easy on us as, again, we had no idea what we needed done. The Steadman Team took care of everything for us. Would recommend to anyone whether a first time or experienced home buyer as you are sure to get professional service!

We have gone through Holly two times purchasing homes and one time selling. We have been ecstatic with the help she has provided. She and her team always went out of their way to make sure we were getting the best deal and were getting the help we needed. She helped with recommendations when we needed any type of work done on the house we were selling and it was done in a timely and professional manner. It seemed like she was working around the clock to fit our needs in looking for our dream home. We will only recommend Holly to family and friends. We couldn’t imagine ever trusting someone else on such a large task in our lives. Please check her out if you’re ever looking to sell/buy a home.
