"Holly is truly a Keys expert...she knows every mile marker and coconut tree by heart! During our shoot, it was obvious that Holly's passion for and knowledge of the Keys makes her a valuable person to know when buying a house there. She delights in sharing "her" Keys with clients and regards each one as a potential new neighbor."

"You made the purchase of our second home, in the Florida Keys, and the sale of our condo at Ocean Pointe, a truly wonderful "all around" experience. We have had many years of experience purchasing and selling real estate, but, you are in a class all by yourself! We had never experienced such First Class Service from a broker, and that is the truth! You went out of your way to help us and make us feel like friends, and, not just another commission! We love you Holly! Keep your eyes always open for our next property!"

"Holly made our first purchase of a condo in the Keys a very pleasurable experience and success. She made us feel like we had known her forever and that we were her only client. Her knowledge and expertise is incredible. She truly cared and did everything to make sure we were happy. Her opinion and honesty were extremely helpful in helping us make our decision. We highly recommend Holly and am pleased to have her as our Realtor and more importantly, our new Friend."

"Holly Hight made the entire process of buying our beautiful condo at Ocean Pointe a great experience. She is very professional and at the same time a delight to work with. We have purchased many properties for personal use and as investments.This was by far the smoothest purchase we have ever had. She handled all of the matters with great expertise and reliability.She did whatever she said she would do and much more. Holly also proved to be a great resource for us as we live in New York and are not familiar with everything in the Keys. We found Holly to be an extremely warm, friendly person who always makes us feel at ease. It was a pleasure working with her on this purchase and we continue to keep in contact for future endeavors."

Holly has renewed our faith in real estate agents. We would actually call her a “real estate angel”. Holly worked very hard for us to ensure that we were comfortable, from our selection of a neighborhood, to finding the exact type of vacation home, to selecting the perfect place that our family will enjoy for many years. She did not stop there; she was very diligent during all the negotiations and the contract stage. She kept us well informed, beyond what we would have expected, as to what we needed to do next to make the transition virtually seamless. Holly, with her Keys-like charm was very savvy as she maneuvered through some obstacles. We would recommend Holly very highly and will certainly be calling her again when the opportunity to buy or to sell comes our way.

We hope to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her services.”

"My husband Wayne and I purchased our Florida Keys property earlier this year. Holly Hight was our Realtor. As a 26 year active real estate sales broker myself, I appreciated so much that--from start to finish--the transaction went smoothly. We found Holly to be very knowledgeable and professional. I set a high standard for Realtors myself and she exceeded my expectations. If we need a real estate professional again in the Keys, we will definitely call Holly."

Holly Hight's charm and honesty make her a joy to deal with, and her real estate savvy and resolve make her a skilled professional. I am looking forward to working with Holly the next time I need a Realtor".
"Holly Hight was an invaluable ally during the process of purchasing a home, guiding us through every unfamiliar step. She helped us understand the local market and choose a home that suited our needs and fulfilled our desires. She escorted us through the minefield of financing, and she even helped to make our home feel like our own when it was all over. Even her follow up was amazing; months after we'd moved in, she called to share information that was very useful.
–Steven Harris, Key Largo, FL
Although our home purchase in Key Largo was more complicated than most, Holly was there every step of the way to make sure the transacton went smoothly.With good news or not so good news, Holly returned every call within minutes.

Thanks to Holly, our family now resides in paradise!

“In December 2003 our dreams of homeownership became a reality due to the hard work and dedication of Realtor Holly Hight. Holly went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find the perfect home. This was our first home and she guided us through the entire process, always one step ahead of the game! Holly is extremely organized and knowledgeable, and we would not hesitate to recommend her. Holly actually made purchasing our property fun!”

"We have purchased and sold several homes in the Keys with the help of Holly Hight. We found that she is very knowledgeable and professional with all aspects of buying and selling a house. She has impressed us with the knowledge that she has on the ever- changing market in the Keys. From the first time we met Holly, she made us feel welcomed and she has gone beyond the call of duty to make us feel at home while we are in Florida. Since we live in Ohio, Holly keeps us informed of important events that arise in the Keys. I would highly recommend Holly for any real-estate need you might have. She has been a pleasure to deal with."

"I recently sold a property that I had listed with (and bought from) Holly. She worked consistently to market the property. She was successful in lining up two prospects for the sale, and in doing so, was also successful in getting a premium over the asking price. The closing was a long drawn out process due to the buyer's mortgage company. Towards the end, Holly was instrumental in having the buyer's pay an additional sum in order for us to not walk away from the sale.
Because it was a 1031 exchange, I asked Holly to prepare for me a list of potential properties with ertain parameters, in order to close on the property within 48 hours of the sale of the other. The operation went seamless, with Holly lining up the properties and the qualirfied zoning consultants and attorneys that I required for the project.
Throughout the process Holly's advice has been sterling. I feel I not only have a competent realtor (now a broker) working with/for me, but also a very knowledgeable real estate consultant who is well connected, up to date with the area's do's and don'ts and whose judgement I use to weigh in on my
investment decisions in the Keys. Regards,"

"Buying my first house could have been one of the most stressful endeavors in my life. Fortunately I was working with Holly. From house searching to my first offer to purchase, through the inspection, financing, and moving, Holly’s wisdom and experience, real estate acumen, personality and professionalism made the whole process smoother than I could ever have imagined. Whenever I had a question or a concern, she was quick to respond. This is essential.
She still keeps me abreast of the market. If you need a real estate agent, you know who I would recommend."

"In the 3 years that Holly was with Keys Country Realty and Development, she was consistently our top producer. In fact, no agent before or since has surpassed her production. What impressed us the most was her commitment to integrity. She always takes the high road and always has her client’s best interests at heart. We miss her immensely and our doors are open to welcome her back at any time."
- Lowell Donofrio - Owner/Broker Keys Country Realty and Development Inc
"There are many Realtors in the Florida Keys. Some people say that a bigger agency is better. We do not agree. We worked with Holly Hight and Autumn Damian, a small agency with big results. We got much personal attention with a small agency. It is a stressful experience to sell our house and a rental and to leave a community where we have lived for 25 years. We have known Autumn Damian, our selling agent, for years as a friend and neighbor.
We had a disgruntled tenant renter in our little blue house who didn’t want the sale to go through. Autumn met every challenge in a very professional manner which resulted in a sale. We appreciate Autumn’s manner in handling a difficult property to sell.
Holly’s agency’s motto is “Always Available to Help”. This motto has been fully met. Whether we are buying or selling, we highly recommend Island Equity Real Estate with Holly Hight and Autumn Damian as a team to handle any real estate from start to finish.
Thanks for all of your help."
