Influence
Growing up in a family surrounded by residential new construction, Hollie's interest in real estate, architecture, and design has been lifelong. Her dad and grandfather began their electrical contracting business in the 1940s, servicing developers and individual clients in Chicago and the North Shore suburban areas.
On many occasions, Hollie would accompany her dad on visits to construction sites. There was no comprise on the unparalleled level of service and craftsmanship he provided. Hollie saw the genuine interaction her dad had with people, both developers and purchasers of homes. He knew they were more than just customers. These were people looking for his trust, capability, and advice. They also received kindness, stellar service, and always humorous stories.
Between the construction site visits, learning dad's work ethic, working at the family's lighting fixture store, and imbuing humor into interactions, Hollie learned about people and business from the ground up.
