About Holly

I’m Holly, a freelance writer and real estate blogger. I’m obsessed with passionate about market trends, home improvement and personal finance.

I grew up in Upstate NY with a bunch of siblings and one hassled single mom. Years of shoveling lake effect snow, figuring out quick DIY fixes at home and being the responsible older sister has taught me that resourcefulness is key. Now that I’m out on my own, I’m excited to tackle my own living space — and I hope you are, too!

I graduated with a dual BA in economics and English literature, so this blog has become the perfect outlet for my interests and studies. Each day, I get to dig into housing data, write up fun articles and help other young people figure out what on earth they’re doing.

You might have seen my work around the web, including Homes.com, Apartment Guide, The Financial Diet, Today’s Homeowner and more.
