Maria Holland, RE/MAX Homes And Estates

In April 2025, my parents in their 90s asked me to take charge of selling their home in the Whetstone neighborhood of Brentwood. So I worked closely with Mrs. Maria Holland throughout the entire process.

The home, built in 2014, is approximately 3,876 sqft and sits on a 0.48-acre lot. Despite a sluggish market, the house was sold in June 2025 for approximately 2.1% above market value and above our expectations—a result that reflects Maria’s exceptional ability at every stage of the process.

*** Agent Selection Stage ***
Maria came highly recommended by a close friend and top REMAX agent in Los Angeles. They both are members of the Diamond Club, an elite group of agents whose annual commissions range from $1M to $2M. Her experience gave her the confidence to appraise the house significantly higher than I expected—and notably higher than estimates from two other agents.

During our interview, I learned that Maria majored in marketing in college. Her sample flyer reflected both strong design skills and strategic marketing thinking: the images were eye-catching, and the features highlighted were thoughtfully chosen to entice potential buyers. Maria doesn’t just use the traditional MLS listings and print flyers—she has a robust social media marketing strategy as well. Her proven track record as a seller agent and marketing expertise made it easy for me to choose her as our listing agent.

*** Pre-Listing Stage ***
Before listing a home, it’s critical to address repairs and update features that are outdated, unattractive, or unfitting. The quality and cost of these improvements depend heavily on the contractor team that the agent assembles. My parents relied on many of Maria’s recommended professionals. They all did quality work at reasonable prices.

Given the buyer-friendly market, it was important to make upgrades that would deliver solid returns. Drawing on her experience—including during the 2008 housing crash—Maria wisely advised us against an expensive and time-consuming kitchen remodel. Instead, she recommended simpler, high-impact upgrades: fresh white paint in key areas, new hardwood floors in the master bedroom and upstairs hallway, and updated lighting fixtures.

Maria personally oversaw the lighting upgrades, selecting and purchasing most of the new fixtures herself from an auction site. She kept the total cost under $800, yet the modern, elegant lighting—paired with professional staging—transformed the home. Seeing the MLS photos, my parents thought about delay the sale and moving back in to enjoy it for a while.

*** Listing Stage ***
Maria wrote a compelling MLS listing that highlighted the house’ most distinctive feature: its private backyard. We trusted her judgment and went with her recommended listing price. Within about three weeks, we received an offer from a young family who owned their own business—the type of buyer Maria envisioned. The home’s layout, including a private yard for entertaining clients, master suite upstairs, and 2-car garage, suited them well. Aware that self-employed buyers may face hurdle in getting a mortgage, Maria continued showing the property diligently and secured two additional offers. We took one as our backup offer. In the end, the original buyer successfully closed.

Maria has broad knowledge of home construction and repair. When the buyer’s repair list came, Maria advised thoughtfully—recommending which items to address or to offer repair credits for, how to repair cost-effectively, and which requests we could reasonably decline (we did reject several). The buyer requested that we add a drain pan under the hot water heater. Maria pointed out that the water heater is located away from the house, so any potential water leak will not get into the living space—making the drain pan unnecessary.

*** Summary ***
Maria demonstrated exceptional skills throughout every phase of this sale. Her marketing savy, sound judgement, and professional network were instrumental to our success. She is incredibly responsive, gets things done timely, and always acted with integrity.

Maria went above and beyond to serve us during the selling and buying process. She readily lent her expertise and experience, which are matched by her tireless energy and passion for her clients. We always felt that Maria was looking out for the best for us, which helped us know we could trust her advice. When you're navigating the stress and excitement of such a significant decision, first choosing to have Maria by your side may be the most important decision you make!

We recently purchased a home through Maria. As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and were not sure what the process would look like. Maria took the time to walk us through every step along the way and answer any questions we had. She also had great recommendations for a lender and contractors that we needed. Loved working with Maria and plan to use her again for any future home buying / selling needs!

Maria is most knowledgeable about Nashville and the entire surrounding areas. She is trustworthy and very responsive and helpful through the whole process of home buying. I highly recommend her as your real estate agent!

Maria took the time to understand us as a couple; our preferences, likes & dislikes before just doing an MLS dump and start showing us properties. She knows the Nashville metro market extremely well and offered excellent comments and suggestions. She clearly takes her job seriously and cares about us as more than just a customer. We selected a new build and Maria was there for all major appointments, including closing. She also had recommendations for service providers across multiple disciplines. We really appreciate her efforts and she's nice to boot. I fully recommend her.

My husband and I recently used Maria Holland as our agent to sell our home of 25 years and to buy a new one. While the process could be understandably stressful, Maria’s calm demeanor, experience and know-how helped us get to a remarkably positive outcome. We knew selling a 25 year-old home would require some improvements and repairs to enhance its marketability. Maria’s clear-eyed filter gave us a well-defined path to get our home ready to meet the market and her investment in actually marketing our home – as opposed to just listing it – paid quick dividends as we received multiple offers on Day 1 and closed the sale above asking price in less than a month.

When faced with buying a new home she took considerable time to understand what we were looking for and was thoughtful in recommending properties that were clearly on mark. When negotiating our home purchase from a reputable builder, having Maria’s experience and judgment on our side was invaluable. We ended up purchasing our dream home well below asking price and Maria was formidable in asking the tough questions and making sure that all issues from the inspection were fully resolved. Maria is definitely someone you want on your team – she strikes the perfect balance between being fierce enough to represent you while being warm and easy to be around. From day one we had the peace that comes from working with the best in the business.

Maria helped us buy our first home and we couldn't recommend her enough. She brought a wealth of experience in and knowledge about the local market, gave us suggestions for what to look for and prioritize during our search, and advocated for us when we were negotiating. Maria was incredibly responsiveness and always made time to fit us in viewings. She was patient when we didn't know what we wanted and helped us by showing a variety of home types and locations based on what we expressed interest in. She also has a plethora of connections and recommendations for local inspectors, contractors, etc. to help during and after the purchasing process.
Absolutely recommend Maria if you're buying/selling in Nashville!

Maria puts the REAL in realtor. Utterly devoid of pretense, she is the genuine article. With expert knowledge and superb professionalism to boot. I recently sold my condo, and owing to Maria's expertise and wisdom, managed to maximize value while minimizing stress. Confident yet humble, Maria was somehow able to take an otherwise daunting task and render it an innocuous, dare I say, enjoyable event! Truly, I could not be more satisfied. If you’re looking to buy or sell your home, do yourself a favor and give Maria a call. You won't be disappointed! Five glorious stars!

I don’t know how to say how grateful I am for Maria Holland and her team helping me sell our house but I will try! They went above and beyond to make me feel safe in a very scary situation - every step of the way Maria and her team made sure I was comfortable and felt in power of the decisions being made. Maria also made my house look more beautiful for the showings and staged it where I didn’t even know my house could look that amazing. I think they probably helped me more than they should have with getting it ready but helped anyway. They moved boxes, patches holes in walls from nails, packed, even helped me clean everything. I would not have been able to sell my home without Maria and I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell.

Maria did a great job helping us get a couple investment properties in a short time frame. The knowledge she has of the area as well as her keen eye walking thru properties is very good. She learned what we wanted to the point that she could walk through a property and know if it was a strong contender or not. Like a partner. Her attitude and overall friendliness was a major plus as well. We will not hesitate to use her for all our property transactions whenever they arise again and we 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thanks for all your help, Maria!

5Stars!!! Maria marketed and SOLD our rental house as an investment property to the buyer as we requested, getting us a much larger pay day than had we simply listed and sold as a residential home. She was honest in her assessment of its potential value and worked QUICKLY! She got the offer we were looking for in less than 2 weeks and got us closed in under 2 months. Fast, optimum value obtained, and totally professional! What more can I say?

Highly recommend her.

Maria helped us sell and buy our homes. She knows what she is doing. She positioned the sale such that the home got multiple bids and we received more than we originally thought we could. We were originally outbid on the purchase but she kept us patient and after the dust had settled, we got the house. She handled the inspections, appraisals and all the administrative detail. We are glad we had Maria with us.

One of the BEST realtors in Nashville. If you are looking for professionalism, integrity and someone who will take care of all of your real estate needs, Maria Holland is the person for you. We have used her to purchase and sell two homes. One home sold in 3 weeks when the market was not at its best and the other home just recently sold in one day, way above our asking price. Maria worked with the buyer on the two homes we purchased to make sure we got a fair price and some added extras! We would give Maria ten stars but since there are only five, we will give her five stars for the excellent work she does!

Maria is an amazing realtor. She is professional and detail-oriented. My husband and I were looking for our first home together in the midst of this crazy market. We found Maria online when researching realtors. At our first meeting, Maria was honest but encouraging about the hurdles we would face in buying a home. She helped guide us throughout the process and advocated for us fiercely. Her tenacity led us to sellers that were willing to make a deal before listing their property-an extremely rare find. If it were not for her, we would not be in our dream home. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

I recently listed and sold my house in Nashville TN, April 2021. I chose Maria Holland to represent my property for many reasons. I found her level of professionalism unmatched. She is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and her follow up is most impressive. Maria brings a team of folks that are top shelf from staging, to photography, as well as having team members on site during showings. Even the marketing slick was outstanding quality. Her photographer is by far one of the best. Check out 6513 Jocelyn Hollow Rd Nashville, Tn on zillow and video on YouTube. She managed 100s of inquiries in 4 days, 78 scheduled showings in 3 days, an open house and multiple offers. Her experience during the contracting phase brought a level of comfort knowing she had my best interest in mine. I would gladly team up with Maria Holland again. My experience with Maria was hands down 100% positive.

Where do I begin? Maria was an absolute joy to work with and truly felt like working with family. She has the amazing ability to display a exemplary level of patience to a first-time home buyer like myself, whilst also having the knowledge/experience to understand and communicate the specific nuances that are important to take into consideration in the Middle Tennessee real estate market. The thing I loved the most about working with Maria is that she intently listens to your desired preferences and knows how to translate those into finding homes that surpass your own expectations. I will always come back to Maria for all my home buying/selling needs and encourage anyone else looking for a trusted advocate and resource to do the same!

Maria came highly recommended to us, and she exceeded all of our expectations. She was very attentive to our needs given that we have four small children and that we were looking for a home within our budget. She was able to use her wide network to accomplish the sale of our former home and the purchase of our current home while off the market. Given the high demand for homes in Nashville, we are so glad that we did not have to compete with many other offers to buy a home. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Nashville.

My family just moved from Northern California to Brentwood, TN and we were fortunate to have Maria by our side throughout the entire process. Maria got to know me and my family and was always so thoughtful, gracious, and responsive. When it came time to make an offer on a house Maria helped us secure a beautiful home in an ultra competitive market. If not for Maria’s market knowledge, network and impeccable reputation, we would not have been able to win in a multi bid situation. We feel so blessed to have been able to work with Maria.

Our family members on two different occasions collaborated with Maria Holland to buy their homes in the Nashville area. We heard only superlatives about their experience. Therefore when we decided to buy our new home the choice was simple: we wanted to work only with Maria Holland. Our destination was Franklin TN, which we knew for years and had fallen in love with the city. Our situation however was completely different. We wanted to move from another state and we faced an extremely fast-moving real estate market during the pandemic. We had long conversations so she could know us better and understand what we needed. We had phone calls in numbers we can’t even count over the entire time. Because photos of listed properties show only certain perceptions of reality, Maria took videos for us - she walked through the properties as we would, so we could know the flow of their interiors. She had a great eye for details that you couldn’t see for yourself. And on the top of everything are Maria’s years-long experience in real estate and home renovation. She knows professionals who can service and renovate anything, if needed. Maria’s clients are in good hands because she treats people more like her friends for whom she wants only the best. We had a wonderful experience and we are happy to recommend Maria to anyone who is in search for a home in the greater Nashville area.

We have moved over 19 times in 30 years (mostly military related) but Maria made this the smoothest sale and departure we have ever experienced. From initial contact, to staging, listing, managing offer and arranging closing, she kept us completely informed, provided quick followup on all issues, and made sure everything happened quickly and efficiently. We were extremely pleased with the response to her marketing and got 3 great offers within 12 hours of listing.

Working with Maria again for our second home in Nashville was even better than the first time! She walked us through every step making sure we understood what was going on so we were best prepared to sell our house and purchase another thoughtfully.

Maria Holland is highly skilled, professional, knowledgeable and diligent. She is absolutely the best realtor we have ever known. My siblings and I live hundreds of miles from Nashville and had to sell our father's townhouse remotely. She managed everything for us. The home needed plumbing repairs, decking replacement, carpet replacement, painting, HVAC repairs, cleaning and even a radon mitigation system. She located professionals and coordinated to get the work done for us. She worked flawlessly with the HOA for our estate sale and exterior repairs. She resolved every issue that arose and there were many. Before the home was ready to show, she shared the house details with other realtors and sold the house above our listing price. Due to the Covid-19 travel bans we could not retrieve the last of our father's possessions. She kindly removed these items from his home and stored them in her own basement. She's absolutely amazing. We are so fortunate to know her and so pleased to have worked with her.
